Compatibility between
BusinessObjects OlapConnect 5.1.7 and previous versions of BusinessObjects OlapConnect
BusinessObjects OlapConnect 5.1.7 is not compatible with previous versions of BusinessObjects OlapConnect and cannot co-exist within the same deployment environment (either on the client or the server).
BW Connect Installation
It is recommended that you create a connection to SAP BW based on the saplogon.ini file. Please refer to the Section ‘SAP BW Connection Considerations’, on page 33 of the User’s Guide.
BW Connect does not
require the entire SAP BW front-end to be installed on the desktop, only the
SAP ODBO components from the SAP GUI.
Note: for compatibility purpose, it is important to always use the SAP ODBO components that come from the same SAP BW front-end patch.

The
following error message appears when the file oawReport.ocx is installed
incorrectly:
"429: ActiveX component can't create object."
To fix this problem, you need to manually register the file. To do
this:
1. Click Start, Run
2. Enter regsvr32 "c:\program files\business objects\businessobjects 5.0\oawreport.ocx"
If you have installed Business Objects in another
location, you need to enter that path.
The following message appears:
"DllRegisterServer in [installation path] \businessobjects 5.0\oawreport.ocx
succeeded."
If updating the report changes the structure of the report, columns may be reordered.
A custom sort on an OLAP Connect report is lost when members are added or subtracted.
If you add attributes from different levels of the same dimension to the same report, values for the highest dimension level attributes may be false or not displayed.
