New in XI R3.

0 (Titan):
- Better security (Custom Access Levels, "Trumping" of rights, etc.)
- Repository Diagnostic Tool (to remedy inconsistencies between CMS database
entries and files in the FRS)
- SIAs (new grouping/managing of servers, see also "bootstrap" files)
- Enhanced failover capabilities (session failover, etc.)
- Rich Client version of WebIntelligence (offline Webi), called WRC
- Tracking feature in WebIntelligence

- New Publishing features (close to BCAP of version 6.x)

- Optional prompts
- Enhanced OLAP universes (see also SAP BW, etc.)
- Better performance against SAP BW OLAP based universes
- Being able to build universes using stored procedures
- New in XI R3.1:
- LifeCycle Management (LCM) tool for promoting content from Dev --> Test
--> Prod

Basically BO XI R3 has been designed to remove the barriers for customers migrating
from BO 5.x/6.x. Due to this it has feature like Rich Client, Auditor, Repository
Diagnostic Tool, Publishing feature (close to version 6.x)

2)The major improvement of XI 3.0 over XI R2 is architecture/administration-related:

- The user-interface of the Central Management Console (CMC) has improved: it mimics
the Windows Explorer interface with its directory trees and pull-down menus;
- The new 'Security Query' in CMC enables administrators to search for specific objects;
- Auditing services comes now standard with CMC - No additional licence-costs are
required anymore;
- Report-scheduling comes now standard with CMC. Also schedule options for
WebIntelligence, Business Objects & Crystal Reports have improved so it matches BO6's
BroadCastAgent Publisher;
- The new 'Federation'-option enables you to replicate servers on different locations;
- The 'Server Intelligence Agent' (SIA), a program that starts monitors and stops servers,
is added. It makes the Enterprise-system not dependent anymore on a single CMS;
- It is now possible to create and add your own default security-level next to the existing
'View on Demand', 'Full Control', et cetera;
- The Import Wizard, used for importing objects from different environments and earlier
BO versions, is extended and now also allows to import documents on their name only
instead of the internal CUID-key.

3)There are optional prompts , i think thsi feature added will remove 'All ' in list of
values other new feature is we can see what all data is changed from previous run of
report
Optional Prompt-applies only to report level prompts not universe prompts.
4)Here are few more differences from design point of view.
The new feature in Webi is the smart measure: “Database Delegated”
It is a measure that delegates its aggregation calculation to a database. Smart measure
performs calculation that the standard Webi aggregation mechanism cannot calculate
correctly.

E.g: Complex averages,such as average of a percentage,ratios,etc.. Smart measures are

available for all relational and OLAP data sources.

It provides some new Querying functions:

-Delegated LOV search-It delegates the search of values in an LOV to the database.
Features:
1. Prevents LOV from being loaded automatically.
2. Prevents the report user from refreshing the LOV
3. Restricts the data set returned.
4. Limits the load time to one that the report user finds acceptable

-Forcemerge

-Data Tracking:
This feature allows a report user to highlight the values that have changed since previous
refresh for any level of aggregation.

Difference b/w desktop & Web Intelligence:

With Desktop Intelligence we have the option of In CurrentPage which can be quite
useful and unfortunately not yet available in Web Intelligence.
