#1

Hi,

We have BO XI R2 installed. Now, we want this to be upgraded to BO XI R3.0 version.

1.What is the duration of upgradation ?
2. Will there be any effect on the existing reports, universes, users and previleges when we upgrade from BO XI R2.0 ?
3. What new features are available in the Version R3.0 ?

Hi Sree,

Here is answer for point 3.

  • Better security (Custom Access Levels, “Trumping” of rights, etc.)
  • Being able to prevent access rights from propagating to sub-objects (thereby avoiding the need to break inheritance)
  • New GUI for the CMC
  • Repository Federation (=replication of the repository to other BOE cluster)
  • Repository Diagnostic Tool (to remedy inconsistencies between CMS database entries and files in the FRS)
  • SIAs (new grouping/managing of servers, see also “bootstrap” files)
  • Cloning Server Services
  • Building Server Services templates (for cloning)
  • The CMC is now the leading system, not the CCM
  • Enhanced failover capabilities (session failover, etc.)
  • Improved Import Wizard (better understandable options)
  • Rich Client version of WebIntelligence (offline Webi), called WRC
  • Tracking feature in WebIntelligence. Good featrue 8)
  • New Publishing features (close to BCAP of version 6.x)
  • Multi-language support for universes
  • Designer: Smart measures (or so called database delegated measures in the universe)
  • Designer: Focing predefined conditions on the whole universe or on a universe class
  • Optional prompts
  • Database delegated search for LOVs (data type CHARACTER)
  • Enhanced OLAP universes (see also SAP BW, etc.)
  • Better performance against SAP BW OLAP based universes
  • Being able to do an update to the structure of OLAP based universes with conflict resolution
  • Being able to build universes using stored procedures

Thanks,
