SAP-BO BI 4.0 SP2 (Patch 7)...?

[former_member183781]

Setting-up a new "Sandbox" server later this week on Windows Server 2008 (R2) - 64 bit OS.

It looks like the current version I should be deploying is SAP-BO BI 4.0 SP2 Patch 7.

Do I need to apply Patch 7 - or should I just use the regular SAP-BO BI 4.0 SP2 baseline for this Sandbox...?

Normally, we only install full SERVICE PACK levels - not PATCH LEVELS.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi Mark,

You would need to install SP2 first followed by Patch 2.7, or Patch 2.8 which is due out today or tomorrow.

If you can wait then you could also align with Feature Pack 3 which is the equivalent of SP3, but that is planned for Q1 2012

The following blog link also details SAP's patching policy.

I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.

Kind regards,

John

Hi,

when i do an initial installation i always install the latest Version. So in your case i would go also for the latest FP.
