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:
