Hello,
I am currently proceeding to the migration of my precalculation servers to the new version of SAP Gui. Thus, I recently installed the latest SAP Gui 7.20 & BI 7.20 Addons & patches on Office 2003 SP3:
gui720_0-10007878.exe
gui720_4-10007878.exe
bw350gui720_3-20006857.exe
bi720sp03_300-20006596.exe
xPreCalServer02_0-20006596.exe
I get a similar issue than you with the following error log:
Precalculation server was started

When I look I this log, there is a difference coming from the line "S:RSRPREC:723 720". I don't have this text with my current precalculation servers running under SAP Gui 7.10.
Can anyone help? It looks like a SAP bug / issue, but I am not sure.
