Analyis For Excel - Remove old web services url from login page

[former_member279731]

Hello,

We're currently upgrading to business objects 4.1 and for analysis for excel there is a new url required to connect.  When connecting however there is still the option to select the old (4.0) url in the 'Web Services URL' box.  Is there a way to remove this so users cannot select the old URL which is now redundant?

Regards,

Nick

Hi Mick,

You can edit the xml file to do this, full instructions are in section 4.3 of the admin guide - located here https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100019802842015E/14SP15_aaoffice_admin_en.pdf (S number required)

Summry of this is below

The BoeConnection setting allows you to define a system connection to the business intelligence platform. It is maintained by an XML file which is stored in the file system under %APPDATA%\SAP AG\SAP BusinessObjects Advanced Analysis\Settings\BOESettings\BOESystems.xml
