specifcation for the report, then verify that the right
tables/schema are selected as source(s) of the report, then
comes the condition(business rules transformation rules
etc) check using join conditions. If tester is able to
write a complex query himself (in many cases it may not be
fasibel to have person with that level of sql expertise)
and then verify for discrepancies. next comes the query
efficiency (optimisation) etc and finally the formatting

Regarding Hyperlinking in Business Objects. We have a few reports in QA environment where a number of hyperlinks are employed using OpenDoc function.In some of the reports,hyperlink is used to move to another tab within the same report.The formula used include "DocID" and ReportName="tab name".This works fine but now,for the PROD move,this will not work as the Doc Ids are subject to change. Is there a way to overcome this?Without DocID,how will move to a particular tab? Thanks in advance
