Can we connect to Oracle 11g using BO X1 R2 SP1

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are working on a migration project where we need to upgrade the database to Oracle 11g from the current version.

There is a reporting componnet which uses BO X1 R2 SP1.

Can anybody please confirm if BO X1 R2 SP1 can connect to Oracle 11g.

Whenever SAP talks or says not supported it means they hv not tested d behaviour and would not support in case of any issues.

We must look into d fact that r2 has joined legacies. It would be better to stay within d supported framework dat was provided by sap as you will find SAP kba or notes present and be able to help you with resolution.

Oracle 11 as mentioned by everyone has not been supported in R2 sp1. It would be better to move to the next product release or else the highest service pack of R2 to atleast be within d supported framework.

Don't expect any on call support for R2 from SAP. 🙂

Hello,

moving to the next Version is not enough here The latest version is four versions above!

No seriously, you should definetly migrate to the latest Release which is BI 4.1. Best would be to get in contact with your SAP Sales Rep.

There can be unknown reasons for customer to be in R2 till now.

As far as the software working part is concerned there have been many versions of third party products which SAP would not support but has been found that SAP BO works very well.

PS: I am not suggesting that we can be in un-supported platform. Definitely not for production unless tested thoroughly and figured out for yourself any case of issues that may occur.

NO it will not support...

you can consider upgrading of SAP BO to higher version.... (SAP BI4.1 sp2)

Thanks.

Do you know if BO X1 R2 SP 6 can connect to Oracle 11g?

Abir,

    XIR2 SP6 was released on Dec 16th 2009, well before Oracle 11g was ready.  XIR2 latest version DOES NOT Support Oracle !!g, no vendor can make a product forward compatible. 

The first version of XI 3.1 that supported Oracle 11g was XI 3.1 w/ SP3, see below

you can try to connect to it for reporting, it will be un-supported by SAP and might not work 100%, but you can try.
As to hosting CMS DB on it - definately not.

Hello,

no, you cant!

I didnt found the Supported Platforms for SP1, but i found it for SP2 and in SP2 it is not supported....so you can count on it that its not supported in SP1.
