Has anyone used this old version of Business Objects (and Webi v2.7.1) with Oracle version 11? We have been using Oracle 9 and will have to upgrade (Oracle) next year.
Thanks to anyone who is still running unsupported BO software - like us!

Funny, your company is moving to Oracle 11, but is still running the outdated version BusinessObjects 5.x

Do you guys still pay for maintenance on BO?
It actually is funny. I did a little work there with you over 5 years ago and you were on the same version.
Your issue isn’t whether BO works with Oracle 11. Your issue is if it works with the Oracle 11 client. I’d be shocked if it did. That said, do you really need to upgrade your Oracle client? Likely not.
Worst case…You could change your Oracle connections to use ODBC.
