Difference between BOE and BO IPS

[Former Member]

Hi,

What is the differnce between BOE and BO IPS? Can we install both these componets together for BODS?

What are the main features of BOE and BO IPS?

Thanks.

Hi Mahesh,

You can deploy BODS either on BOE or IPS, in your case you have deployed on BOE hence for IPS there is no actiivty.

Scenario : - You BOE/BIP version is not same as per compatability matrix, for e.g. 4.2 SP8 then go to SAP market place portal and download 4.2 SP09

Then Download BODS 4.2 SP14 Patch xx

Before installation make sure in pre-requisite include report validation as per your landscape (Web Intelligence, Crystal reports, OLAP, Lumira etc...) or else after upgrade there is a high chance your report will get impacted in production if you are not done validation in lower landscape.

Note: - Ideally you have to create 2 different landscape, one for reporting and another for Data services (ETL) for reporting you can use SAP Business Objects Intelligence called "BOE/BIP" and for SAP Data Services you can use SAP Information Platform Serverices called "IPS"

I hope this will help

Thank you for your Response.

Finally,

Sorry to keep you awaited.

we have deployed BODS on BOE, would you say dont worry about IPS and just upgrade BODS to higher SP version.

What if we want IPS now? do we have such option to upgrade BOE to IPS or alterntative?
