You can use certain SAP Business Object features in your cloud environments.

As part of the Enterprise Cloud offering, there are certain SAP Business Objects capabilities that will be available in particular cloud environments.

All Enterprise Cloud environments will include the following BO features:
  • BI Launchpad – utilized to develop and distribute reports
  • Central Management Console
  • Live Office
  • Scheduling
  • Publishing
  • User Management
  • Access Management
Note: Custom report creation is required to query audit information.
Additionally, for Development Environments, the following BO features will also be available:
  • Web Intelligence Rich Client
  • Information Design Tool (IDT)
  • Promotion Manager
  • Visual Differences
  • Upgrade Management
  • Translation Management
If you have licensed Maconomy Analysis, then you will also have access to the following tool in the Development Environments:

Warning: Deltek reserves the right to terminate any long running reporting queries to ensure your environments are protected. Deltek will terminate any queries that run for 60 minutes or longer and will notify the Customer of such terminations through Customer Care.

From Business Objects version 4.2 SP5, a (GDPR) data protection popup message has been introduced. The message reads: "The product contains open or freely configurable entry fields, which are not intended for storing personal data without additional technical and organizational measures to safeguard data protection and privacy." End users can silence this message by selecting “Do not show this message again”.

Note: All Cloud Customers will be updated from Business Objects 4.2 to Business Objects 4.3 in 2024. This update will ensure continued support of the Business Objects solution as well as providing you with a more modern interface and additional functionality for report writers. The Live Office tool will be deprecated with the update to Business Objects 4.3. Deprecation means the feature will still be available throughout the BO 4.3 release. However, no new enhancements are planned for this feature, and new Platform & Data source support will be very limited.
