Is BW 7.3 SP08 compatible with BI 4.0 FP3 ?

[Samanta_Ferreri]

Dear all,

here is a summary on the situation:

- there are 3 environments:
   > Test : BI 4.0 FP03 Patch 7
      BW 7.3 SP8 (upgraded from SP06)
      Environment with the problem > KO
   > Dev : BI 4.0 FP3 Patch 7
      BW 7.3 SP07
      Environment works fine > OK
   > Sand Box : BI 4.1 Patch3
      BW 7.3 SP8
      Environment works fine > OK

- BEX queries can be run fine within the BEW Designer

- Reports are failing with multiple error message (one if this is "could not connect to datasource")

It may be that the new SP08 version of BW is not compatible with the BI version used in BI 4.0 FP03 (while with the newer BI 4.1 there is no issue).

Any help here is much appreciated.

Just a lark, but after applying BW SP, we had same problem, BO could not connect to BW

Restarted windows BOE server... all good

Hi Lee,

thanks as well for replying.

I guess you've seen the ticket but those information do not reflect the truth.

That scenario was in they Sand Box system: after the upgrade to SP8 a restart of BI was needed (perhaps to re-establish the RFC connection between BW and BO).

For their Test system a restart did no help and the problem still persist.

BR,

Sam
