BO 6.5.4 SDK and .NET 4.0

Former Member

Hi. Hope someone can help.

I have a .NET 4.0 web application (ASP.NET and VB.NET) and a Business Objects 6.5.4 installation. I want the web application to be able to communicate with the BO installation and generate reports .I'm not sure if this is possible but I'd like to try anyway. I'm new to BO so apologies if this is a basic question.

My understanding is I need a BO SDK installed with my web application in order to try this. I have been through all the documentation and on various sites but I'm struggling to even find the BO SDK.

Can someone advise me where I'd find the BO SDK. I have the BO 6.5.4 installation disks.

Thanks and Regards,

BC.

Not possible. No SDK - BO, CR, CRS or any other that supports framework 4.0. See KB [1547065 - CRVS2010 is missing BusinessObjects.Enterprise.* assemblies|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533343337333033363335%7D.do].

Hi Ludek, thanks for the prompt reply.

We have successfully used an SDK in a .NET 4.0 application to communicate with a BO XI installation.

Following on from your response, am I right in saying that no BO 6.5.4 SDK supports .NET 4.0?

And that I can't use a BO XI SDK to connect to a BO 6.5.4 installation?

Cannot use XI to talk to 6.5. If i remember correctly, 6.5 didn't have any .NET SDK's it only had COM and Java. You could try and use COM interop, but that wouldn't be supported. 6.5 is around 10 years old, so trying to use technology that came out 10 years later with it wouldn't be something I would want to try.

Thanks Adam. I take your point but I might try with the COM SDK anyway. I understand that this is not something that is officially supported.

Should the 6.5.4 COM SDK be on the installation disks? What does the SDK consist of - is it just a collection of dlls that I copy from somewhere or does it have to be installed? Again, apologies for the basic questions!

Hi Brian, I am trying to use SDK with .NET 4.0 and VS 2010 but unable to. Can you please let me know what things needed to be done to be able to use SDK.

Thanks,

VC.
