  7. Some of the Fixes in later FixPacks • In FixPack 1.6 is fixes to WebI refresh, Prompts and row level restriction, Webi publishing and single pass bursting • In FixPack 1.7 is a critical hot fix to Qaaws to fix a timeout issue. • In FixPack 1.8 includesupdates to the WebIProcessServer settings and more. • ISSUE: Customers that had installed these FixPacks lost their fixes when installing SP2 in June 2009. (SP2 only covers fixes upto FP1.5)

  8. Latest FixPack 2.1 • FixPack 2.1 was released on Nov. 3rd 2009. However it requires that SP2 is installed. [FP 2.1 (ie SP2 + patch level 1) is FP 1.8 + Fixes for SP2's issues] • So to install a new server, you must install 3.1, then SP2, then FP 2.1. This is required also for desktop products. • If you already have installed SP1 and FixPacks 1.6, 1.7, 1.8; you now have to ‘retrograde’, install SP2 and then FixPack 2.1. • Where to download packs: Downloads > SAP Support Packages > Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group (left menu) > BOBJ ENTERPRISE XI 3.1 • BOBJLIVEOFFICE02_0-10007443.EXE BOBJ LiveOffice XI 3.1 ServicePack 2 • ENTERPRISE02_0-10007443.EXE BOE XI 3.1 ServicePack 2 (Server + Client) • ENTRPRSECLNTTLS02_0-10007443.EXE BOE XI 3.1 ServicePack 2 (Client Tools) Source: Thanks to the BusinessObjectsBoard, http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/
