I would like to confirm that the workaround mentioned by Ellis works fine!

Workaround

Replace the BCM-4.0 .dll under LINK_DIR/bin folder of data services with  BCM-4.0.dll under BOE  installed location “C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64”

Had the same issue.

Note 2029321 helped resolve the issue. We replaced the BCM-4.0.dll file as per the note

Hello Rubén,

Thanks for the information & prompt reply. Some more interesting information about the behavior we 're getting. We 've tested the x64 bit client for DS 4.2 SP2 and it works fine with BI 4.1 SP03 FP01. Now we're installing BI SP03 FP02 and we 'll try again the x86 DS client.

I will keep you informed.

Kind regards,

Hello Rub,

We have tried the following DS versions

DS 4.0 SP1 (x86)

DS 4.1 SP2 (x86)

DS 4.2 SP2 (x86)

with

BI 4.1 SP03 Patch 01

and we get the same error with you.

Did you open a ticket to SAP about this?

Thanks,

Hello Ilias,

yes, we opened it and they told me this:

Hello Rubén,

Thanks for the confirmation that without the patch the installation

works - this is as we expected it.  Your observations on the

combinations you were trying have been noted.

Once the patch level hass been approved (post-QA etc) then the KNBA

will be adjusted appropriately to reflect any issues and/or bugs that

might be discovered in QA and fixes applied.

Regards

Rubén
