Hello,

since Friday the "SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite 4.0 Support Pack 5" software downloads are available

.

The corresponding SAP Notes containing the "Install Guide" (1775950), Release Notes (1775951), etc. are still not released.

Also on the information pages regarding SBOP BI 4.0 there is no sign of update.

When will information regarding the Service Pack 5 be publicly available?

With kind regards,

Philipp Schornberg

I have doubts about this release. My company was waiting a lot for this update, mostly because we wanted to create dashboards and show them directly in IPADs.

As I understand the new version of SAP Dashboards (previously Xcelsius) can achieve this goal, but it also needs the BI platform 4.0 SP05. Is that correct?? (i think it is, have read it somewhere), but I can't find the EDGE version of this SP05. Is there any date for this release? or some document that clearifies somehow this topic?

Thanks in advance for any info about this!

Paul:

I just checked for the above notes and I get the below message. The message basically means that the notes are not available for public yet or in other words changes are being made presently and is not available for public.

Please keep checking periodically if you are keen on getting it hot from the oven.

"The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only "

What are looking for in general? Why this hurry for SP5? Let me know and I can help if I know the answer.

Regards,

Rama

Hi Rama,

I have the same question.

I'm mainly interested in 2 things:

- New features

- Confirmation of support for WebSphere8

Best regards,

For SAP moderators scanning these post - you might want to call attention to '/xi4_whats_new_en.pdf' guide page 79 second paragraph from bottom because it's probably reverse of that it says regarding RFC call numbers.

 

'The BW system is then queried for only the required metadata.

This greatly increases the number of RFC calls, the size of the metadata returned by the BW system,

and the time it takes to refresh the query.'
