Seagate Info™ 7.5 Desktop User's Guide

Seamless Object Creation
The Info Worksheet can currently read cubes from the following OLAP
Servers:
Hyperion Essbase
Microsoft SQL Server OLAP Services (OLE DB for OLAP)
Informix MetaCube Server
Seagate Holos and Info Cubes.
Open Cubes can be viewed, sliced and diced in the Worksheet just like an
Info Cube, and users can save their own views of the data. Because Open
Cubes reside on Servers outside of the Info system, they are treated as
static instances of a cube, and can not be scheduled within Info. However,
Cubes can still be designed and made available by “foreign” Servers in an
organization for reading by Info Worksheet users.
Have you ever wanted to schedule a whole collection of related reports,
all at once? Well, now you can! The Info Desktop lets you package your
reports together in a Report Package object. You can also add a table of
contents report, quickly organizing your package. Then you can schedule
everything at once. The reports will also share parameter fields and
database login parameters.
Seagate Info now allows you to save objects directly from the Info Report
Designer and Info SQL Designer to the Info Desktop. You will no longer
have to save objects to disk and add them to your desktop using the
existing process for adding new reports and queries.
