BusinessObjects Reports for CA Data Protection

CA Data Protection can integrate with BusinessObjects Enterprise, allowing you to run and customize BusinessObjects reports for CA Data Protection.

Why Run BusinessObjects Reports?

CA Data Protection integration with BusinessObjects Enterprise has several advantages:

A BusinessObjects report is generally faster than a corresponding standard CA Data Protection report. For example, the BusinessObjects version of the Issues By Status or Resolution report returns results much faster than the corresponding standard CA Data Protection report.
BusinessObjects Enterprise is a leader in enterprise reporting systems. It enables users to create their own reports in a user-friendly interface and to specify the report output format (such as Excel or PDF). It also supports automated scheduling and distribution of reports.
If you already use BusinessObjects Enterprise to run reports for other CA products such as SiteMinder or Identity Manager, your managers and administrators can use the BusinessObjects web portal, InfoView, to manage all their CA reports, including CA Data Protection reports, in a single customizable web interface.
