This is an excellent
resource solely dedicated to BW Reporting and long overdue.
The book was written by Peter Scott, one of the leading BW
Reporting consultants and has contributions from other consultants as well. There is a free chapter to download there as
well... The tips & tricks were very valuable for me. It is written in common english and explains many undocumented
features about the BEx Analyzer, Web Application Designer, and the scheduling functionality found in the reporting agent
which I can now use.
I wish it was longer and I will look forward to another release in the future....
Cheers,
Alex
