InfoBurst Features

InfoBurst offers a robust set of features allowing for tremendous control over report bursting, publishing and delivery.

Supports multiple connections to BusinessObjects XI systems at the same time

Does not require any BusinessObjects client software to operate (to support DeskI single-pass bursting the client is required)
Powerful platform queue to precisely control throughput based on document type (for example allow more WebI concurrent processing than DeskI)

Burst concept to group multiple documents of any type together for processing
Multi-pass and Single-pass report bursting for WebI and DeskI reports
Multi-pass report bursting for Crystal reports
Burst processing modes, InSequence or InParallel for greater throughput (InParallel will process documents in a Burst concurrently)
Burst delivery modes to control when reports are delivered (immediate or at end)
Prompt resolution via macro, external file or database query
Powerful parameter macros to handle dates and bursting context
Multi-column Excel files are supported for prompt values or email address lookup
Ability to use a database query or built-in MultiColumn List to supply multiple prompt or filter values
Ability to create one or more alias values for report prompts (use during delivery with macros or help to resolve database column name mapping when using an external parameter source)
Custom Excel based calendar (fiscal calendar) can be associated with any Burst and values can be used during delivery (to customize paths or names)

Network Share/FTP/WebDAV delivery with auto-creation of complex folder structures
Report-tabs can be selected for DeskI and WebI and re-combined into a single .pdf delivery
Rich content Email delivery of any report type with navigation and table of contents (for example it is possible to deliver either a complete WebI multi-tab report or selected tabs of multiple reports in a single email)
Email consolidation options to delivery multiple attachments or in-line content
Email CC and BCC support
Email attachments can be compressed to save on message size

Scheduler with support for once/daily/weekly/monthly plus every # mins/hours/days
Schedule priority controlled by group membership allows higher priority jobs to run first when a queue exists waiting for a resource
External event support to watch for files and database queries
Actions such as SendEmail, RunCommand or SetTrigger can be assigned to start/end/abort of Burst or Schedule

Detailed run-time log of every burst execution showing step by step each task with full details of parameters and exceptions
Audit information showing who did what and when (if an object such as a Burst has been changed you can see who changed it)
