Business Objects Downloads
Self-upgrade from 6.5.4 to XI, release 2
Please download these instructions on how to upgrade to the new version:
- Slides from Dec. 16, 2009 demo
- Installation instructions for BOXI [last update: Dec. 2012]
After you have upgraded, the major changes to using Business Objects will be as follows:
- You will need to go to ReportMart3 to launch Business Objects.
- Your login to ReportMart3 will authenticate you; you won't need to do a separate DSS login.
- You will see many more universes, but only the DSS ones are available to you (a list is included in the installation instructions).
Other than these changes, using Business Objects should look and act the same as it does for you now.
Business Objects beginning class: Materials
You can use these class materials like a self-paced tutorial to learn the basics of our Oracle Financials Expenditures universe.

Business Objects: Choosing a universe
These documents can help you choose which universe to use:
- Descriptions of common universes: Business Objects Universe Descriptions.pdf
- Universes based on Oracle Financials (OF) data: Quick Guide to OF Universe.pdf
- Legacy financials and other data: Quick Guide to non-OF Universe.pdf
We usually print the quick guides on either side of a single sheet, so when one quick guide says "see other page", it means "see the other quick guide".
