What's New in Support Package 27 Documentation

SAP BW (INA provider) connections not available by default

As of EPM add-in support package 27, SAP BW (INA provider) connections are no longer available by default. For more details, please consult SAP Note 2327742.

One Member Selector for all connections

As of EPM add-in support package 27 (that uses .net 4.5), one Member Selector is used for all connections. The Member Selector is the one that has originally been provided for large-volume and SAP BW (INA Provider) connections until Support Package 25.

You can still use the standard historical Member Selector by setting this new configuration key to False: UseWpfMemberSelector.

Help button takes you to the SAP Help Portal

As of support package 27, when you install the EPM add-in, the documentation help files are no longer installed on your machine.

The Help button now takes you to the dedicated EPM add-in product page of the SAP Help Portal, where you can find all the information to install and use the product. You can find the help files, that used to open when clicking the Help button, in the "Application Help" section of the product page.
Note An internet connection is required to access the SAP Help Portal.
