Good Morning All!
SAP has released today, as planned in the Maintenance Schedule, SAP BI 4.1 SP02 as a patch only.
Note: No full install available at this time.
Here are some helpful documentations:
- What's new in SAP BI 4.1 SP02
The much awaited Grouping Values!
"In a table in a Web Intelligence report, you can collect the values of a dimension into aggregated groups. A variable object for this aggregated group is created in the Available Objects tab on the Side Panel and allows you to manage the group configuration."
Update: Thanks to WILLIAM MARCY who has insights on some extra undocumented features! See his post here.
- Excel spreadsheet as a data source
- Re-use prompt values with predefined cells
- SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite 4.1 SP02 Release Restrictions (Known Issues):
- SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 SP02 Fixed Issues:
- SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 SP02 Upgrade Guide:
From the document: "You can install the 4.1 SP1 or 4.1 SP2 update directly on a BI platform 4.0 installation. You do not need to install the 4.1 update first"
It also seems you can install the update on top of 4.1 SP1 SP7 Patch 2 which will make it on par with SAP BI 4.0 SP08 with both not including SAP BI 4.0 SP07 Patch 3 and Patch 4. The SBOP Forward Fit Plan doesn't mention this update at this stage.

I'll be installing this update on my test VM straight away, hopefully it will all go well!
I'd be happy to hear your experiences with this update.
Thanks and good luck!
