Hi Mariam,
Thank you for your reply. I will create a separate question for EPM Connection manager.
SAP Note 1740516 does not mention FIM. I have carefully studied and followed SAP notes, installation and update documents and I can say that FIM documentation is not being updated for a long time. For example, the Administration Guide in Analytics Knowledge Center shows 2013-12 as Date Modified, but if you open the document you will see the Date is 2012-03-08. Document history contains last entry for February 2012.The situation is similar for all other documents. FIM PAR is from 16/06/2011.
Obviously if nothing has changed, we cannot expect updates, but meanwhile two new versions of Data Services have been released.
On the other hand, in SAP Support portal, under Support Packages and patches > SBOP FINANC. INFORM. MGMT 10.0 it says:
Required Components of other Product Versions
FIM Server alternatively requires ...
SAP DATA SERVICES 4.2 - SAP DATA SERVICES 4.2 (SMP)
SBOP DATA SERVICES 4.0 - SBOP DATA SERVICES 4.0 (SMP) (no longer in maintenance)
The latest SP for FIM on the same page is SP09 (although Knowledge Centre has documents up to SP06). The fi_10_fixed_issues_sp9.pdf document states (on page 7) that SAP BusinessObjects Data Services 4.2 is supported.
So, I updated existing installation of our environment, and can confirm FIM works.
The problem is if a new BI 4.1 installation is created and DS 4.2 is installed. If then FIM server is installed, it wants to install tomcat6 and JDK 6. The full FIM server installation version is from 20.11.2011. And we need full installation before any SP is installed. I am actually not sure if SP09 can be installed on top of full installation or all other packages have to be installed (documentation does not mention if packages are cummulative).
So, the FIM documentation needs to be updated. And my question is, has anyone managed to install FIM 10.0 with a new BI 4.1 and DS 4.2 installations?
