BO4 Web Intelligence and SAP support

[Former Member]

I could not find official BO4 documentation (PDF) for WEBI on the product download page, however, I'm surprised to find Crystal Reports and even live office PDFs for BO4. Is this a sign that SAP is going to slowly phase out WEBI in favor of Analysis ? They are already taking away the old universe, even killed business views on top of BICS connection. For the most popular BO product, I'm rather surprised there is not office PDF for it in BO4 ? Or is it available somewhere that I just overlooked?

>No, WEBi is not being phased out

They are already taking away the old universe

>Not true, good old universe is live and well in Bi4.0

Yes, see above 2 posts.
