Modifying existing BO Server Installation

Former Member

I've found the following articale warning that any modification made to the base install of a server installation will require any subsequent service packs and patches to be reinstalled after modification.

The article is filed under XI R2 and XI 3.1

Can anyone confirm if this still applies to BI4.0?

Hi Simon,

I don't see any other way SAP can accommodate this. Let's take an example where we make custom change to a CSS file. How can SAP ensure that their next release (SP or Fixpack) merges their changes (in case if the same CSS is changed) instead of simply replacing the CSS file with the new file.

Alternate option - SAP has provided the SDK to enable the customers to create custom applications that can be managed by us and this custom developed application wouldn't get overwritten.

Kind Regards

Mohan
