BusinessObjects 4.2 New feature: BI Administrators’ Cockpit

BI Administrators’ Cockpit is a new application added in the Central Management Console (CMC) in BI Platform 4.2. The cockpit enables an administrator to collect basic data about the Business Objects BI 4.2 system. It essentially means deriving business intelligence from within the data in your business intelligence environment. With BI Administrators’ Cockpit, you can obtain high-level information about Servers, Scheduled Jobs, Content Usage, and Applications.
