Any updated predictions on when Feature Pack 3 will be released?

Ramp-Up Customers are using "Enhancement Pack 3" now - SAP will not commit to a GA date until enough Ramp-Up Customers have vetted the release, and they meet their GA metrics.

I inquired to SAP about getting early release of FP/EP3 and they told me GA is today. I couldn't find it on the site, but it's supposed to be available for download at some point today.

The current calendar show Feature Pack 3 is due out in September. We'll see.

As of two weeks ago, the ramp-up was scheduled for 6 months but "there was optimism" that it would finish early...

I think the SAP Solutions Consultant (via my SAP account rep) that give me the info is confused. He thinks GA started March 16th. He did specifically say that ramp up is complete and that GA is now available...but sounds like he has GA mixed up with Ramp Up.

Yes he does. We were told March 16th was the official first day of Ramp-up.

Hi all,

In BO 4.0 CMC I found Auditing option available. This looks awesome as it appears that it can capture every possible activity.

Please help me knowing are there any default reports as well in BO 4.0 or do I need to access audit database and create my own reports.

Thanks

BI 4.0 doesn't come with an audit universe, or reports. There is an audit universe that you can download, and some sample reports. But the audit universe only only comes for SQL Server or MySQL. If you're using another database, you'll need to modify the SQL for that database.
