Hi Smruthi, Query Builder has some limits when trying to query two kinds of objects. Fortunately, the "report" objects have an "si_owner" object that indicates the user that created that object. Therefore, you know what your SELECT clause should be: SELECT si_id, si_name, si_owner Now you need to filter these results; you don't want all reports. You said that you wanted "scheduled reports" that are in the future. That's a filter, right there, or in the case of a Query Builder that is your WHERE clause: First filter just to WebI reports (you could customize this as you wish to include "DeskI" or "Crystal Reports"): WHERE si_kind = 'WebI' Next filter to just scheduled instances: AND si_instance = 1 AND si_recurring = 1 That is really all that you need, if the Business Objects report is a recurring instance than it is scheduled for the future. You might want more in the SELECT clause like the next run time or other properties.

HI Ishaq,

I also tested this one and was impressed on 1st look.
Then I tested and had few queries; to my surprise, I got responded to my queries even before a ES rep does.

Nice, small tool to make life simpler.

Cheers,
PT

Hi Asha, we all have to start somewhere. I will try and put together a small introductory article to help you and other like you get orienting more quickly to Business Objects XI’s general architecture. Thanks for the idea.

It is not possible to decrypt it, but you can blunt force reset it by deleting the record corresponding to the Administrator account (possibly just the password). This resets it to blank, or rather, no password. See this for more details:

Hi,

Does someone has an idea about how to reset password of administrator account directly in le CMS database. I’m thinking that, if it is possible to decrypt CMS informations, maybe it is possible to do that.

Thanks.

If I understand the question correctly... There is a direct correlation between the database table field CMS_InfoObjects5.typeid and the logical field si_obtype. One day I went through all of the "kind" to find their "obtype" and then I mapped these to the "typeid". This mapping table is in the Business Objects Query Builder guide that we sell here on this web site, so I won't post the whole table. But I can tell you that CI_InfoObjects.si_kind "webi" = CI_InfoObjects.obtype "267" = CMS_InfoObjects5.typeid "267". If you need help mapping any other kinds let me know, or you could buy our little Query Builder guide and get teh complete mapping table and much more (a shameless plug, I know).
