The last advice I received was;

Data Services 4.0 has a medium ramp-up which is scheduled to take 6 monhths. We started ramp-up Dec 10th, so plan is to exit ramp-up and enter unrestricted shipment in June. Current plan is second half of June and alligned with the Data Services 4.0 SP01 release (with Solaris & AIX added to the list of supported OS).

BUT... one thing to keep in mind is that in order to exit ramp-up, some KPIs need to be met internally. Most important KPI is that we need to have about 25 customers participated in ramp-up and 5 of them need to be live in production with the new version. In case we don't meet these KPIs in June, the ramp-up will be extended untill these KPIs are met.

You can still sign-up for ramp-up to help us reach our KPI ! One important requirement for ramp-up is that SAP consulting needs to be involved as a ramp-up coach (which is not free of charge), but this will guarntee you a smooth upgrade to 4.0 !

Hope that helps...

Data Services 4.0 reached general availability (unrestriced shipment) on June 24th 2011. This was also the release of Data Services 4.0 SP1 which is available on Windows, Linux, AIX and Solaris. All existing Data Services customers can download this version from http://service.sap.com/swdc.

For the latest information on release dates and status (rampup vs. GA), you can use the PAM : http://service.sap.com/PAM which is the single source of truth for this type of information.

Thanks Ben, another question I have in mind is that BOE 4.0 is still not released (in GA, hope I am right) and BODS 4.0 has an dependency on either BOE 4.0 or BO Information Platform services, so can I confirm that BO Information Platform is also in General Availability?

Thanks
