# Business Objects

The Business Objects system type in Avantra lists systems which are SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence systems. We support BOBJ systems from version 4.2 onwards. These systems include checks to manage system uptime, performance, and job execution. A stand-alone database system type must be defined before adding a Business Objects system.

| The Business Object system type does not include SAP Business Objects Data Services (BODS). These systems are quite different as their underlying technology does not allow the same methods for monitoring.
