I am working on Business Objects-reporting side.
Database is Teradata.
I have two questions here:
1. We will be working only on Infoview on QA environment.
Do I need to add ODBC entries for the QA database server on
my machine to be able to create/refresh Infoview reports?
I will not be using Desk_I or Web_I rich client.
2. Once reports are developed,Admin team would migrate the
reports to Production and make these available to business
users.
The reports are Refresh on Open.
Would the business users need to have the ODBC entries of
Production database server in their machines to be able to
refresh these reports?
Answer Posted / dilip
No need to have ODBC entries of Dev or Prod in every system
which is used to access reports. When any report is
refreshed it will be processed on BusinessObjects server.

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
