8.8 and 8.81 should work on a 64 bit server. Just make sure you have the latest updates as in the windows 2003 version there was a few months between patches where there was some communication errors on the DI server in the spring of 2009. The DI-api will 32 for a while. maybe in version 9 there might be a 64 bit option but it seems unnessary as most SMEs don't do analytics on a scale where 64 bit would be usefull. The integration tool on the other hand on some PLs it is fussy on 64 bit servers.

what updates are you referring to, Server updates or SAP updates? is there a link for updates, if not, were can i find it? we are using Server 2008 R2.

thanks for the reply

Server updates. B1 only with 8.8 family you candownload patch level installations with the RSP with a partner s-code automacially. I have issues with the integration tool with 8.81 pl5. Seems it was fixed in PL9. Some patches are buggy. Lots of back and forth with when troubleshooting. Could be an issue on both ends.

from what I read 8.81 is better designed for 2008 R2 than 8.8 as 8.8 came out late 2009. Maybe the higher patches might be better now.

SAP whatever version is a 32bit peace of software and isn't running in 64bit if you compile with ANY CPU

Make sure you always compile an addon or an SDK app in x86 to make sure that the platform runs it in 32bit (FORCED kind of)

Hi Pieter,

In 8.81 and 8.82, the DI API is only available in 32bit and any program that directly references its objects must be compiled in 32bit mode. I haven't heard that SAP are planning on releasing a 64bit version.

What type of issues are you having?

Kind Regards,

Owen

i cant create an object of SAPbobsCom.Company error:

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {632F4591-AA62-4219-8FB6-22BCF5F60088} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).

i tested it building to 32-bt then it worked. any suggestions?

Thanks for replying
