- Installation does not start, currently the solution is to backup and remove 2 folders in user folder:
- folder: %USERPROFILE%\Analysis-config
- folder: %USERPROFILE%\Analysis-workspace
- Upgrade Issue from Design Studio 1.1 release with support package smaller than SP3 – solution is to uninstall the 1.1 release first and then make fresh install of 1.2 release.
Feel free to ask any questions related to technical aspects of this release – I will try to answer and actualize this site.
When will CVOM SDK handler be available?
Thanks for compiling this info, too.
I reply shortly even I do not have a date for you - as of today, the CVOM SDK is working in test environment internally, but we cannot give a concrete date (still some clarifications are running). In best case some SP in 1.3 release, but it could be also postponed to next release (eg. 1.4)
Hi Karol,
Very nice article.
We are in SAP BI 4.1 SP2 with SAP Design studio 1.2, what’s to best way to update our environment Server and Client to SAP Design Studio 1.3 ?
Thanks and Best regards

Elyae - see Suggestions to Install Design Studio 1.3 Client .
Hi Elyae,
all upgrade paths are supported for the Client, NW and BIP Add-On. If you want to apply DS 1.3 relase, you should make the upgrade on the server and then on the clients (as old clients will not work with the new server version). Of course standar backup procedures are recommended for any case...
Regards, Karol

which is dated August 10th 2014, says Design Studio only supports JAVA JRE 1.6
and 1.7. When will you be supporting JRE 1.8? What is JAVA used for in design studio as I thought it used HTML5?
