For those who did not catch my earlier post or those who may be bitter, clinging to their guns and SAP BusinessObjects XI R2 CD’s, I found an interesting message on the SAP Support Portal (S-ID required) while downloading XI 3.1 software this week:
How to obtain SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 Patches and Full Builds
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 arrived at its product end-of-life (EOL) on June 30, 2010. SAP BusinessObjects has agreed to provide Best Effort Support for all customers until June 30, 2011. During this time, customers may still need to access full XIR2 builds, fix packs and service packs. Please read How to obtain SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 Patches and Full Builds for information on how to locate these downloads in the SAP Support Portal.
To get a full build of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2, please create a customer message on the SAP Service Marketplace…
Guess I better keep my XI R2 CD’s in a safe place…
Damn it. Thanks for the heads up. 🙁
