Planning to upgrade 3.1 fp 3.2 to SP5 and finally SP7

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In Deve/QA/Prod servers we have different database installed and pulling data for reports.

Ex: We have SQL Server 2000/2005/2008

      Oracle 10g/11g

      IBM DB2

My questions is If I go upgrade patch from SP3 to SP7 is there any effect to Database in this process..?

If yes, then what are the steps need to follow and how to get this successful.

Looking forward to hear your replies.

Thanks in adv.

Ram,

     Once you upgrade to BOE XI 3.1 w/SP7, you may have issues with reports using MS SQL 2000 database.   The PAR for XI 3.1.7 DOES NOT Support SQL Server 2000 database drivers, see below

Also link to XI 3.17 PARs

It should not affect. Reporting DB and BI install is different.
