Keeping a document’s data up-to-date

Databases are regularly updated with new data. A document generated at a given point in time reflects the data as it existed at that time, but it may be inaccurate now.

BUSINESSOBJECTS lets you update the data in a document while keeping the same presentation and formatting, either manually, or automatically at specified times.

When you update a document, BUSINESS OBJECTS reconnects to the database, and retrieves the updated data.

This is called refreshing a document.
