1)WebI has a desktop version now.
Now you will be able to save your webI reports on desktop as
a client tool has been introduced for the creation of WebI
Reports. No more issues of global license. You just need a
WebI license to create a WebI Report
2)The major improvement of XI 3.0 over XI R2 is
architecture/administration-related:
- The user-interface of the Central Management Console (CMC)
has improved: it mimics the Windows Explorer interface with
its directory trees and pull-down menus;
- The new 'Security Query' in CMC enables administrators to
search for specific objects;
- Auditing services comes now standard with CMC - No
additional licence-costs are required anymore;
- Report-scheduling comes now standard with CMC. Also
schedule options for WebIntelligence, Business Objects &
Crystal Reports have improved so it matches BO6's
BroadCastAgent Publisher;
- The new 'Federation'-option enables you to replicate
servers on different locations;
- The 'Server Intelligence Agent' (SIA), a program that
starts monitors and stops servers, is added. It makes the
Enterprise-system not dependent anymore on a single CMS;
- It is now possible to create and add your own default
security-level next to the existing 'View on Demand', 'Full
Control', et cetera;
- The Import Wizard, used for importing objects from
different environments and earlier BO versions, is extended
and now also allows to import documents on their name only
instead of the internal CUID-key.
There is still room for lots of improvements:
version-control of objects is still non-existent,
event-based scheduling is not well-supported,
user-administration cannot be done batchwise and the general
user-interface of CMC, despite having been improved, is
still a major drawback compared to BO 6 in terms of
userfriendliness and understandability.
3)There are optional prompts , i think thsi feature added
will remove 'All ' in list of values other new feature is we
can see what all data is changed from previous run of report
4)Here are few more differences from design point of view.
The new feature in Webi is the smart measure:
It is a measure that delegates its aggregation calculation
to a database. Smart measure performs calculation that the
standard Webi aggregation mechanism cannot calculate correctly.
E.g: Complex averages,such as average of a
percentage,ratios,etc.. Smart measures are available for all
relational and OLAP data sources.
It provides some new Querying functions:
-Delegated LOV search-It delegates the search of values in
an LOV to the database.
Features:
1. Prevents LOV from being loaded automatically.
2. Prevents the report user from refreshing the LOV
3. Restricts the data set returned.
4. Limits the load time to one that the report user finds
acceptable
-Optional Prompt-applies only to report level prompts not
universe prompts.
-Percent rank
It allows the report user to rank a percentage of dimension
volume "sliced" on another dimension. This feature is
available only on Java report panel.
-Sampling
The query sampling returns specified number of items and
selects them randomly.
-Forcemerge
-Data Tracking:
This feature allows a report user to highlight the values
that have changed since previous refresh for any level of
aggregation.
5)The Designer part of XI3 is enhanced so that we can create
universes based on Stored procedures in database which can
be easily accessed by business users for generation of webi
reports through infoview. There is a huge difference between
XIR2 and XI3 infoview in terms of infoview customization.
6)Multilingual support for metadata is now available with
the introduction of "Translation Manager".This helps
avoiding the rework in replicating the universe for
different languages. But this is restricted to only
WebIntelligence reports,where by the language setting can be
choosen from Infoview settings for "preferred viewing Locale"
7)Few more new features of BO XI3
Support for Nested Derived Tables
Compulsory filters at universe and class level
Custom Drivers
Enhanced SAP BW support
8)There is a security configuration improvement that I
consider very helpful. the option to apply security to one
object but avoiding to spread it to the lower levels. So you
do not have to broke inheritance from each object on the
next (lower) level to have this working.
