b) hits per second.
c)Average response time for every transaction like login,click on the particular link,logout etc.,

In BO if you want to save a report to repository you have to publish that report where as in XI if you click save as and select Enterprise
IN BO, BCA and supervision are entirely separate but in XI there are merged into CMC
IN XI there is no separate auditor is there but there is an auditor database where we can create tables based on that
