How to configure SQL Server connectivity for WebI from SAP BusinessObjects BI4.0 in Linux

Sunday, February 10th, 2013

Nowadays we have noticed some of our customers are following the trend of open source products. Indeed, Linux is a great choice of operating system due to the fact it is totally compatible with SAP BusinessObjects BI 4 and it also help companies to cut costs.  However, Linux has retained the way the classical Unix operating system works and therefore everything is about rights and batch commands.

This should be an automatic and simple process, but we had encountered some difficulties when migrating Deskis that had FreeHand SQL embedded.

So we would like to move on to explaining the two solutions we worked on that have lead to a successful conversion.

Friday, August 20th, 2010

As you will see in this post, when I started  investigating this topic I found some interesting information about the week format in both Oracle Database and SQL Server, which I hope will be useful to others using these tools.
