BusinessObjects Overview

BusinessObjects is the supported query and reporting tool used to access the U-M Data Warehouse. You can use it to process all central predefined queries as well as to run ad hoc reports. BusinessObjects interfaces (also known as universes) have been developed for all data in the U-M Data Warehouse, which includes data sets from M-Pathways systems, Legacy systems, and the Development/Alumni Constituency (DAC) system.

BusinessObjects XI R2 is available on Wolverine Access. To locate it:

1. Open Wolverine Access in your browser.
2. Click University Business.
3. Click Reporting.
4. Click U-M Data Warehouse (BusinessObjects).

Michigan Administrative Information Services (MAIS) provides software licensing, distribution, and training for BusinessObjects as well as support from the MAIS Help Desk.
