  4. HI,
    I have a question if anyone has time to response.
    At business object 5.1.2 a have created a report until 2009 year.
    This report refresh every working day.
    The size of this Bo is 750 Mb and if I create the same Bo report again the size done 5 Mb.
    Please can you tell me if Bo has any memory or history or cache that I have to delete or please tell what I have to do because this causes very delay at report generate.


    Thanks in advance,
