Service Pack upgrade Plan for BODS & BO:
Hi All,
Currently we are on 4.1 SP4 of BO and 4.2 SP4 of BODS. Planning to upgrade both(BO & BODS) to latest versions.
* Question is , which one I can pick for upgrade BO or BODS for a best practice. As per my previous exp. BODS upgrade will take time on BOE servers(BODS is installed on both CMS1 and CMS2 and we have dedicated BODS server also).
Should I start BO update or BODS. or anything is fine ?
Version upgrade from BO 4.1 SP4 Patch 2 To 4.1 SP7 Patch 1.
BODS from 4.2 SP4 to 4.2 SP6.
Regards,
Pulendar
Dear Pulendar,
According to SAP Data Services 4.2 PAM, DS requires SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) or Information Platform Services (IPS) for security capability.
Regarding product compatibility, there are the following information:
In a similar case, I 've upgraded first the BI installation first and then moved on to DS.
Finally, I would recommend you to:
A.) Take a backup for BI deployment prior to upgrade (SAP Note 1634517). The backup will consist of:
You could also have a look at 'Chapter 13 - Backing Up and Restoring Your System' of the Administrator's Guide.
B.) Bear in mind that you cannot roll back a Data Services Patch or Service Pack. (SAP Note 2008279 - Data Services Rollback Best Practices).
C.) Have a look on the useful blog post 'SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1/BI 4.x installation prerequisites and best practices [Windows]'
Best regards,
