Upgrading to 4.1 Gotchas

Hi ganeshxp, thank you for your answer.

  1. That is about SAP Note 1812470 - Dot converted to Null when Data Services loads to Teradata. Not the most brilliant feature.

There are some additional challenges, such as TD 14.x released, but BODS is not yet certified.

  1. I am aware of the change in the namespace and that as such BODS 4.x and 4.1 can work on the same SAP system without impact:
    Are DS 4.1 Transports for ERP backwards compatible with 4.0

But I was not aware that BODS 4.1 does require the new functions?

You are saying that BODS 4.1 is not backwards compatible with the old SAP functions?

Importing the new BODS 4.1 functions will take months for all the SAP systems. While the RFC streaming will be used for the most important systems in the future, but with a gradual roll-out…
