It has been a while since my last post here. I’ve been busy at work and of course I am spending a lot of my time on writing the SAP BusinessObjects Dashboard Design (Xcelsius) cookbook<\/a><\/strong> The writing process is nearing its end which means we are finishing the final ‘recipes’ and reviewing and discussing the chapters that already completed with the publishing team and the technical reviewers. Last month I also reviewed a number of add-ons for Dashboard Design which was pretty cool. I will blog about it later when I got some more time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I found this How-To Guide by SAP somewhere on SDN, which shows you how to open BEx Web Applications<\/strong> from a SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards dashboard<\/strong> (uh, this sounds weird). It shows you how to use Flash Variables<\/strong>, the URL button component<\/strong> and some MS Excel formula<\/strong> magic to make this work.<\/p>\n

The second part of the HTG explains how to call a dashboard from a BEx Web Template<\/strong> or a BEx Query<\/strong> with the good-old Report-to-Report interface (RRI)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can find this HTG here<\/a>. Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
