Important Hints (release 1.5) in short:

  • Client installers do not need any more SAP JRE installation (SAP JVM is delivered with Design Studio) - this is already the case with DS 1.4 release.



Support / Upgrade

In case you find some issue which you can prove as "regression" during the upgrade, create customer incident on it as soon you can. We will try to make a patch in such case.


SP1 is planned to be delivered by mid of August.

    • 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.
