Hi,
I have read SAP Note 1787431 regarding supported platforms for XL Reporter. Another note which is mentioned in some of the threads in this forum - Note No. 1787984 is not available for Release. I could not find that Note.
I have found XL Reporter extremely easy and powerful.
My questions are:
1. if I continue to use one of the supported platforms for XL Reporter, like SAP 9.0 PL 5, Office 2010 or earlier, SQL Server 2008 R2 or earlier, .NET 2.0 or 3.0 and 32-bit SAP B1 clients, will I run into any issues like not getting support or being obsolete for next SAP versions?
2. Whether SAP is planning to discontinue XL Reporter completely or is it only temporarily on hold? Is the source code available for XL Reporter in the public domain?
3. In XL Reporter we have features like Repeat on a particular column like Financial Period, which will automatically generate 1 column for each Financial Year. Is this feature available in Crystal Reports for SAP?
4. Any helpful SAP Notes or other publications from SAP on the future of XL Reporter?
Please advise.
Thanks.
