Hell Souhail ELMALIH,

If I am at your place I would start looking at link below...

https://support.sap.com/content/dam/launchpad/en_us/pam/pam-essentials/TIP/BI%20Platform/BI%20Platfo...

PAM link for this product is as below.

https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/support/pam?hash=s%3DSAP%2520BusinessObject%26o%3Dmost_viewed%257Cd...

As far SAP note : 2112338 - List of Bundled Tomcat and JVM versions shipped with each (support pack) SP of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.0/4.1/4.2

You need to upgrade your SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform support pack (If it is not on SP9 or SP10). Since you mentioned 4.1 only its difficult to say it will support java version or not.

I would prefer to upgrade SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform with new support pack which can lead in to less issues.

Hope this resolve your question.

Thank you

Yogesh

1. you can't change Java that is used by BO
2. You can change java being used by tomcat. See PAM for supported versions of java and tomcat.

Hello,

Our Objective : to make disappear from our servers the versions of Java prior to version 8, so for the version java used by BO - is it for technical reasons (this is not possible on the application side)? - will the application not work with another version? - is version 8 not maintained? (but it can work)

BOE servers use Java SAP provides. It is not supported/possible to change it outside of regular SAP maintenance process (upgrade to latest patch/SP).

if we want to migrate to a version that uses JAVA 8 we migrate to BI 4.1 SP6 or BO 4.2?
