SAP BusinessObjects Financial

0 Kudos

Please, I am support analyst here at FF Brazil, and would like to know if we have any version of the excel SAP BusinessObjects Financial consolidation Web plugin for Microsoft Office 2016 on X64 architectures, it happens that I have many computers that use the office package in the version x64, and here I only have the installers of BO Finance in X86 architectures.

Could you tell us if there is an installer for x64 architecture?

Hello f5nerdonline,

Unfortunately, FC Excel Link (FC Office plugin main and Web versions) doesn't support Office 64 bit.
Official SAP Notes about that:
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/1772467 https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/1700028
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2182888
This notes don't mention FC 10.1, only earlier FC versions, but the situation is currently the same.

The plans for Office 64 bit support are currently set as "for Long-term consideration". You can add your vote for this improvement request and follow developers response on SAP Customer Influence for SAP FC: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/idea/131113/?section=sectionComments

As for the current situation, some customers set up 32 bit Office with Citrix or other remote connection. This way the application support centralized and end users can work with both versions of Excel.

As for setting up both versions of Office (x32 and x64) locally, although it's possible through different hacks, this architecture is officially not supported by Microsoft, so it's not advisable.
