Is there a restriction to install ODBO driver on Windows Server 2008 64bits

49 Views

For SAP BusinessObjects Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) version 7.5 Microsoft it is possible to connect with Xcelsius using an ODBO provider installed on the BPC server. In the installation Guide for BPC it is specified the need to add following key to the registry:

http://HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\MDA\ODBO

"SupportedProviders"="BPCMDX.4"

When installing on a Windows Enterprise Server 2003 64 bits I can find the registry three path to http://HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\MDA\ODBO . On a Windows Enterprise Server 2008 64 bits I cannot see the key path.

I copy below the paragraph regarding ODBO driver from BPC 7.5 Installation Guide:

Prerequisites

The following software is installed:

n SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP02 (see Downloading and Installing the Central Management System

page 15).

n Microsoft Visual C+ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update+

on the Planning and Consolidation Web server and SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise

XI 3.1 SP02 server for Voyager or a Universe. You can download the installer from

Procedure

1. Download the Planning and Consolidation ODBO provider from the SAP Download area by

selecting Downloads Installations & Upgrades on the SAP Service Marketplace.

2. Navigate to <drive>:\odbo and run the client.exe file.

3. Add the Planning and Consolidation ODBO provider to the Data Driver by entering this registry

setting:
