Diversified Semantic Layer

Josh sits down with a new friend, Clint Vosloo from BI In The Box, South Africa, to do a Sybase IQ Overview. In this episode, they install a base install of Sybase IQ, do some initial configuration, load in some BIG data and run a few queries.

You asked for it.  The team at the Diversified Semantic Layer as come through for you.  It is finally here (and will be available in 64 bit as soon as that goes GA).

This thing has legs.

The DSLayer crew shows some international (un)love for Deski and the Import Wizard to celebrate this holiday season.  We only did this to make up for the scrubbed 2010 episode.

Greg goes into new territory here with a walkthrough of using the SAP Quick Sizer to design a new SAP BusinessObjects BI4 environment.

As a follow on to the last video on data profiling, Eric demonstrates a command line argument for the IDT that improves data profiling capabilities.

The exact argument to enable this capability in the IDT:

-debug idt.options

Results may vary, use at your own risk :-)

Josh walks through a step-by-step process to configure SAP BusinessObjects BI4 to use Active Directory single sign-on. You can also view the step-by-step instructions at Josh's blog found at Geek2Live.net.

Greg and Nic Smith sat down at SAP TechEd to show some great analytics delivered on an iPad via Explorer Mobile and HANA.  Now with over 200,000 downloads? Good stuff.  We like it.

In this video Josh walks through part 1 of a BI4 end-to-end demo that he recently presented at the Mastering Business Intelligence with SAP South Africa conference. He shows how to create a simple universe in the Information Design Tool, a simple Web Intelligence report, and finishes up with a simple Crystal Report.

In this video, Eric reviews the finer points of data profiling directly within the Information Design Tool as a part of SAP BusinessObjects BI4.

Josh revisits installing not only the BI4 platform (on Windows), but also dives into Data Services 4, part of the EIM 4 suite.

Josh and Eric start our latest podcast series to demonstrate how to create your very own, personalized, unsupported SAP BusinessObjects BI4 Linux box.
