Release Notification

[former_member244885]

Is anyone aware of a way (rss feed / email distribution list) to be notified of new releases?

Since installing SAP BPC 10.1 for the Microsoft Platform in March 2016, there have been 3 updates to the EPM client and a "Patch on top of SP05 for BPC 10.1 for Microsoft". In each case I only happened to stumble upon the release. I sure would love a way to be notified so that I can then read the release notes to see if fixes apply.

None of these rss feeds from SAP seem to apply:

Hi Jon,

I have just been trawling to see if I could find anything.

It seems that there are SAP notes that have release schedules for each product.

I found the one for BPC NW 10.1, presumably there is a similar note for BPC MS 10.1

2103585 - Product Component Matrix for SAP Business Planning & Consolidation 10.1, version for Net W...

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply.  I have seen the release schedule, however it only applies to "Server packages", and not patches on top of them.  This is because the patches are unscheduled.  Earlier this year I discovered a bug in BPC 10.1 for Microsoft, Server package 05, for which a patch was created and released out of schedule.

I have talked with SAP folks, BPC consultants, and a community group on LinkedIn.  Apparently our only recourse is to log on, perform the 12 step click through to the BPC downloads page, and check manually.
