21 SAP Business Explorer (BEx) Maintenance BEx 7.0 continues to be delivered with the next SAP NetWeaver BW releases. At this point in time, there s no planned end of life. The maintenance period is renewed with every major BW release. BEx 3.5 is part of BW 3.5/SAP NetWeaver 04 and the maintenance cycle is coupled to this release (see SAP note ). As BEx 3.5 is also compatible with a BW 7.0 backend and had been delivered with BW 7.0, SAP will maintain BEx 3.5 functionality within BW 7.0 and subsequent releases until the end of BW 7.0 maintenance cycle. Maintenance is NOT extended with BW 7.30 or other future releases. Note that full PAM support of BEx 3.5 cannot be granted by SAP as Microsoft has removed, e.g., support for some components within Windows 7 that had been used by BEx Web Application Designer 3.5. Also see: Coexistence BEx Analyzer and, edition for MS Office You can install BEx and on a single PC. Only one add-in can be active in an Excel session (in other words, either BEx or can be active) Opening a BEx workbook activates the BEx add-in SAP AG.
