Is it true that explorer is phasing out?

Hello,

I came across this blog post dated 2014, saying that Explorer is going to phase out and replaced by SAP Lumira.

Link:

SAP BusinessObjects Explorer, R.I.P. | Dallas Marks on Business Intelligence

Can you confirm if it is true?

If yes, can you link me a post from SAP regarding this matter.

I am currently using Version 14.1.4 Build 1327. Can you confirm me that I am using the latest version?

To be honest, I find it very buggy use. I have some issues to retrieve data from SAP Hana and Information Design Tools. Even after indexing several times, not all data are retrieved.

Hi Ashraf,

No this is not true and Explorer is included in 4.2 version of BO as well.

The latest version of Explorer is 4.1 SP 6 Patch 4.
