The latest current platform version of SAP BusinessObjects 4.3 SP2 can already be installed with the new edition of the connector for SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) called Live Data Connect 3.4. This connector allows cloud users to consume real data from SAP Analytics Cloud — from both WebIntelligence documents and Universes — in a more agile and secure way than ever before.
