ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Reporting version 6.8.3.1 (SAP 4.3)

As announced in SAP BusinessObjects addendum to Statement of Direction on Feb2021 (and the June 2022 update (https://www.sap.com/documents/2020/03/908ee705-8a7d-0010-87a3- c30de2ff d8ff .html), SAP Crystal Reports 2020 services are no longer supported on Linux and Unix operating systems from version BI 4.3 SP2 on (Q4 2021), to remove dependency of a 3rd party component that simulates Windows API on Linux and Unix.
SAP Crystal Reports 2020 reports are still fully supported by distributing SAPCrystal Reports 2020 (CR 2020) services in SAP BusinessObjects BusinessIntelligence (BI) platform to a Windows server.
Such distributed deployment could also be used with BI 4.3 and BI 4.2:
  • To add more Crystal Reports processing power, by adding a Windows server.
  • To avoid Linux or Unix specific issues.
Below are the detailed steps to:
  • Perform an ‘Expand’ install (using BI 4.3 SP01 as an example).
  • Check the newly installed Windows CR2020 services.
