Here you’ll see the object model brought together to create such tools as on-demand web services, report metadata extraction, scheduling, security and user management. You’ll learn how to push the envelope to create almost any imaginable reporting solution that BO XI can handle (and even a few that it can’t).

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best book available for Crystal Enterprise,
By Lesotho72 (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pro Crystal Enterprise/Business Objects XI Programming (Expert's Voice in .NET) (v. 11) (Hardcover)
The company I work for started a Crystal Enterprise project several months ago. I can honestly say that we would have been unable to complete the project if we did not have this book. It really takes you step-by-step in an easily readable format through what needs to be done. Also, the examples used all worked properly (a problem with many other computer books) and were extremely relevant. There are few people with Crystal Entreprise experience out there today so this book is really needed. We also find ourselves using it as a reference guide occasionally. If you are working with Crystal Enterprise or planning to implement CE I would strongly recommend this book.

Excellent Reference Material,
By
This review is from: Pro Crystal Enterprise/Business Objects XI Programming (Expert's Voice in .NET) (v. 11) (Hardcover)
This book is one of my most-used referenced books. I've done a LOT of work using the BO XI SDK to build utility programs to help administer our system and I regularly use it to look up details.
Carl's explanations of the many of the intricacies of using the SDK and the query language are straight-forward and easy to understand. He includes many tips about undocumented and little-known features along with information about things to watch out for where the software may not behave like you would expect it to. In addition to the SDK, there is a good overview of the admin tools that are supplied with the BusinessObjects Enterprise software and there is a full chapter on the security model. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to enhance the capabilities of their BusinessObjects system.

Good if you only use Crystal Reports,
By
This review is from: Pro Crystal Enterprise/Business Objects XI Programming (Expert's Voice in .NET) (v. 11) (Hardcover)
While Carl has a lot of good SDK programming information, it all seems focused on Crystal Reports content of Business Objjects XI. I'd really like to see him update this book to include Web Intelligence and Desktop Intelligence reports used in XIR2 and up to the latest version 3.1. One thing I was searching for was how to list objects for WebI reports to match the list I have from Universes for Impact Analysis.
