I have finally completed my nearly 3-month long update to our Query Builder Guide. Like most things I do, the deeper I got into it the more I found that needed work.
What kept me going, and delaying my previously promised delivery time, was the realization that aside from Ted Ueda’s famous blog entries on [...]

I feel I owe a small explanation for the lull in the new article publishing on the site. I have remained active at responding to article comments, but I haven’t published a new article in nearly a month (although I just added some details to the latest article on BO XI 3.1 Fix Packs). [...]

It has been exactly one month since I published my last Business Objects XI article. I sincerely apologize for the delay, but I promise that I did not take a holiday. I spent the past month working on enabling a new “Subscribe to Comments” feature and lately on pulling together a brand new [...]

Initial tests running the Business Objects XI R2 (BOXI R2 or XIR2) web client through Internet Explorer 8 have failed miserably. [...]

I am not sure under which rock I have been living but apparently there is a tweak that you can do to your Business Objects server’s Query Builder main page “query.jsp” so that it can handle “Path Queries”.

I just wanted to let visitors know that we have just lowered the price of the “BusinessObjectsTips.com Query Builder Guide” to $27.00. We have heard a lot of good things about the guide from its students since its release late last year. It truly is the “The Best Query Builder Guide Ever Written”!
