Title: Best Practices - Yellow and Blue Folders
Post by: awhitman33 on 21 Jul 2010 07:55:36 AM
Are there any recommended best practices on when to store reports, pages, etc. in a generic yellow folder versus the Blue package folder?  Thanks for any advice.

I've done it both ways. The only thing I've noticed was in 8.3, if you had another package underneath a package you might see some interesting errors.

In my case, I had a relational package with a cube package inside of the blue folder, if I tried to drill thru from the cube to a relational report it errored out.  Once I moved the cube to the root folder, the error went away.
