SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft

– But local SAPLOGON.INI file required if you don‘t use BI Platform for connection management
Client Sizing: See SAP note 1466118

and integration improvements between BusinessObjects Enterprise and NetWeaver

BI Platform Services
BI Platform (fka BO Enterprise) is strategic for all SAP BusinessObjects Clients
Analysis 1.0 on SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
– Central provisioning of BW connections
– Client-side Single-Sign On
– Saving and sharing workbooks centrally (common xls / ppt InfoObject)
Analysis 1.1 on BI platform 4.0
– Support system-type connection
– Server-side and client-side Single-Sign On
– Saving and sharing workbooks centrally (common xls(x) / ppt(x) InfoObject)
– Interoperability with other clients: Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports and SAP BusinessObjects
Analysis, edition for OLAP based on analysis view
SAP recommends using BI platform for productive use of the Office Add-in, as BI platform
supports main services such as central repository including security, interoperability and, in
future, lifecycle management. But you can also use it without BI platform and store and
distribute workbooks locally or on any share drive – often used in testing environments.

SAP Business Explorer (BEx)
Maintenance
BEx 7.0 continues to be delivered with the next SAP NetWeaver BW releases. At this point
in time, there‘s no planned end of life. The maintenance period is renewed with every major
BW release.
BEx 3.5 is part of BW 3.5/SAP NetWeaver 04 and the maintenance cycle is coupled to this
release (see SAP note 1410878). BEx 3.5 in BW 7.0x and BW 7.3x will be supported while
BEx 3.5 (NetWeaver 2004) is in extendend Maintenance (2013). Note that full PAM support
of BEx 3.5 cannot be granted by SAP – as Microsoft has removed, e.g., support for some
components within Windows 7 that had been used by BEx Web Application Designer 3.5.
