Analysis 1.4 SP11 with Office 64 Bit

0 Kudos

Hello,

we are currently considering to migrate to Office 2010 64 Bit (Win7 64 Bit).

What about Analysis 1.4 - Is it running stable with Office 2010 - 64 Bit or are there any known restrictions to be considered?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas

We are currently using the following software combinations:

  • Windows 7 64-bit + Office 2013 64-bit + Analysis 1.4 64-bit
  • Windows 8 64-bit + Office 2013 64-bit + Analysis 1.4 64-bit
  • Windows 8.1 64-bit + Office 2013 32-bit + Analysis 1.4 32-bit (still have a few users who have to be upgraded to Office 2013 64-bit)
  • Windows 8.1 64-bit + Office 2013 64-bit + Analysis 1.4 64-bit

Our corporate standard has been decided on, which is Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2013 64-bit (we are busy upgrading the various software to comply with the corporate standard).

The requirements for Analysis 1.4 64-bit is the following (based on our experiences):

  • Windows 64-bit operating system (preferably 8.1)
  • Microsoft Office 2013 64-bit (Office 2010 64-bit will also work) Note: In Office 2013 switch off the start screen that displays when you open Excel - improves the performance of Excel 2013
  • SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP11 (SP11 released March 2015 which fixes a few issues with regards to Office 2013 64-bit)
  • Minimum memory required on a laptop/pc: 8 Gb RAM

So far feedback from our users, is that the 64-bit version of Analysis is much more responsive and allows for very large queries.

Dear Derek,

thanks a lot for your detailed Feedback.

Could you also tell us which Version of SAP GUi your users have in place?

Are there any problems with Office 64 Bit regarding SAP GUi (corresponding SAP notes are telling about restrictions/Problems).

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas

Our users are currently running SAP GUI 730 SP9 or SP10 (depending) with Office 32-bit or 64-bit versions.

So far none of the users have complained about any issues yet (or the restrictions of use).

Currently we are testing SAP GUI 740 Patch 1 (+hot fix 1) with Office 2013 64-bit at the moment (downloaded SAP GUI 740 Patch 2 this morning for testing). We are planning to rollout SAP GUI 740 to our users in April when we migrate our hardware.

Regards

Derek

Hi Andreas - I haven't heard of any complaints but be sure your Microsoft Office version is also 64 bit.

If your MS Office is 32 bit you will need to install the 32 bit version of Analysis Office
