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.
