BOBatchConverter release 2.2

Hi all,

After some very interesting feed back from users, I made a new release of the BOBatchConverter. We are now in version 2.2.
What was done / fixed :

handling pathnames with spaces ... like C:\BO DOCS\Report v2.rep,

mailing process was hardened,

new syntax : you have to prefix your command line arguments with the token "--" like --user or --REFRESH,

you can use ; to separate the different emails in the profile manager (previous was a stupid ",").

Please, find the release here.

BOBatchConverter V2 : now more reliable process management.

Hi all,

Here is new release of my Business Objects converter utility : BOBatchConverter
As usual, you can use this command line tool as a Broadcast Agent (BCA) replacement : refresh, convert to any format (XLS, PDF, CSV, HTML), publish to WebIntelligence and / or send by mail.
This new feature offers a more reliable process management. You can now run several and concurrent instances of BoBatchConverter.

You can download it here.
WARNING : the release 2.2 is available with major fixes.

BOBatchConverter : release 1.4

Hi all,

Here is the last release of BOBatchConverter. This tool will allow you to run, refresh, convert, post, send, email, publish any single Business Objects report or multiple reports.

Each action can be done with specific profiles (emailing ...) and I also provide a gui to manage your profiles (stored as XML files).
It's a command line tool, runs under XP or Server 2003 and can be used in conjunction of a good scheduler to become a BCA like (BCA is the BroadCast Agent, the batch mode of Business Objects).
Sure Business Objects is not free but this tool, which I keep developing since last October in .NET technology, is.

Here is the link to download the archive with documentation on how to use it : BoBatchConverter
Here are 3 snapshots : the profile manager, the xml file and the console output.
