Business Objects Documentation Roadmap

Overview
You are looking for specific information but in the thousands of pages of Business Objects documentation, where should you even begin to look? This roadmap provides you with a starting point for approaching documentation about installing, configuring and using your Business Objects solution. The roadmap table is divided into the following major categories, loosely based on typical stages in the deployment and use of the Business Objects solution: General reading before installation Installing and configuring application servers Setting up connectivities Installing Business Objects products Configuring the system Creating and managing the repository Designing and managing universes Tuning and administering the solution Using Business Objects products Customizing your solution Troubleshooting your solution Each of these categories contains a list of topics about which Business Objects users typically ask questions, such as "Deployment procedure," "Security," "Migrating a repository to a newer version," or "Getting your users started." For each topic, the table displays at least one specific place you can look for information and often several.
