Business Objects XI Session Removal Tool
Business Objects XI doesn’t come with a standard tool that let administrators to remove user session. But this is doable using their SDK. (Download here BO XI kill session tool). Note: I only tested in XI R3

Unzip and put the folder KillSession into the webapps folder under tomcat.
Before you can use it, copy the all library files from CmcAppActions (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CmcAppActions\WEB-INF\lib) to the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\KillSession\WEB-INF\lib
You might need to restart Tomcat (or not ? ).

Business Objects XI R3, server stuck in starting stage
Recently, our Business Objects servers keep failing and getting stuck in the starting stage. So I use the SDK to this little program to check the expected time/stage of the server, if the expected time is less than now, then restart the server.
