Below is a couple of tidbits of information regarding the next major release of Business Objects – XI 4.0.
- Business Objects XI 4.0 will be made available in the SAP Marketplace come October. Customers who would like to use it in a Production environment will need to request permission from SAP.
- Desktop Intelligence will not be included in this release – https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/globalregions/DeskI+End+of+life
The only way to get Desktop Intellignence reports onto XI 4.0, is to first convert them to Web Intelligence in XI 3.1 or use the Report Conversion Tool. - Web Intelligence will now be called Interactive Analysis.
- Business Objects XI 4.0 will only be a 64-bit release.
- Business Objects XI 4.0 will use Tomcat 6 with Java 1.6.
- A single WAR file for InfoView and CMC.
- Timeout settings are now accessible in one place and will include a timeout warning.
