Hi Experts,
For a testing we need to install Microsoft office 2016 suite to our BO server.
Same time we would be installing SP7 ( bundled ) for live Office and SP8 upgrade for live office , In addition to that we are also planning to install SP 8 SP upgrade fro BO XI 4.1
Is there a sequence that has to be followed for this ? In addition to this do we need to back up any xml or properties file before ( SP 8 upgrade ) apart from file store and CMS database back up ?
Current environment
BOXI4.1 SP6 AD SSO configured
Tomcat

a. you should not install office suite on your server, nor Live office there.
In general - you patch BI Platform first, then install/patch any client toolsAdd comment

You need take backup of any custom configuration change you have done.After upgrade you need to place these files again.
Image folder
Web.XML file
tomcat/webapps/BOE/WEB-INF/config/custom (all files in custom folder)

Kultar,
First of all if you are planning to use MS Office 2016, you MUST go BI 4.2 SP3. BI 4.1 DOES NOT support MS Office 2016, see PAM links for BI 4.1 and BI 4.2 (see below)
BI 4.1 Supported PAM (Page # 14)

BI 4.2 Supported PAM (Page # 14)

Also note that SP are now commutative, which mean you can straight to the final SP. In you case your best choice is to Install BI 4.2 w/SP3 and then add Patch 04, this is most stable release.
Regards,
Ajay
