Live Office 4.0 limitations

[system]

@SAP Support

There are some limitations in the BI 4.0 product.

As per the investigation please find the below details of this issue:

Cause
This is caused by current product limitations.
Resolution

1. Drills are not supported in Live Office.
   In SAP Business Objects 4.0, if the drill bar is enabled in Web
   Intelligence, an error message will be displayed as such: “An error
   occured from viewer control, (LO 02029)”, with the details reading
   “This feature is not implemented (Error: RWI 00013)”.

2. You cannot insert Web Intelligence reports with sections.

3. Live Office does not pick the currency or date/time format from Web
   Intelligence, it takes it from Excel.

4. Sorts, alerter, prompts/filters are supported.
   Once again, in In SAP Business Objects 4.0, if the filter bar is
   enabled in Web Intelligence, an error message will be displayed as
   such: “An error occured from viewer control, (LO 02029)”, with the
   details reading “This feature is not implemented (Error: RWI 00013)”.

5. If you wish to have your Web Intelligence report in the same format
   within Excel, then please check the option #Apply report format when
   refreshing# under Live Office > Properties for all objects > Refresh
   tab.

6. If you wish to bring fresh data directly into Excel please select
   #On Demand# refresh from the above location.

Most of the features will be imported into Excel however if you want
to make any changes in the Excel document without changing the Web
Intelligence report in Infoview you will have to rely on the Excel
features.

Is there a fix pack for these limitations, or did SAP update this with a newer version of LiveOffice?

Just encountered error message LO 02029 while trying to import a LiveOffice webi document with the Filter Bar enabled!

Removing the Filter Bar in the report solved the error message!

ps
Using SAP BI Dashboard 4.0 SP05 and LO 4.0 SP05 (!!!)
so still not solved!!
