Nothing's more annoying than trying to browse the tens of thousands of BI assets in your SAP BusinessObjects CMS and getting slapped on your mouse with the enterprise-unfriendly Too Many Objects message. (And it's not just us who's affected by this!)
This happens in particular when browsing large CMS's through Instance Manager, a capability or "micro-application" accessed through the Central Management Console and that helps SAP BusinessObjects administrators search and discover the scheduling activity of their deployment by a number of different properties (owner, date, status, folder, etc).
So how do you sort through all this "Big Metadata"? There are a slew of different ways, but the one we enjoy the most is shown below, using MetaMiner Community Edition, to instantly get theanswersyou need around scheduled instances.
And if you missed our semi-pluggy-but-not-really-since-its-freeware announcement of MetaMiner Community Edition now's a great time to have a look and start "MetaMining"!
