Kelly, I am a customer that you mentioned that has installed BOXI as part of the BMC Analytics install. With that scenario, if I upgraded the OEM version to Premium, could I then use that platform for MID-TIER reporting?

There are several customers using the option. For those who already have Premium it allows BMC Analytics to just snap in. For those who start using BO by purchasing BMC Analytics, they can go to SAP for an upgrade and save significatly upgrading the OEM version of BOXI Professional to BOXI Premium. Once upgrade, they can use BOXI license to implement Analytics, Crystal and several other cool reporting options. Tim, BMC believes the issue you are having is that BO gave you a Professional License, not a Premium license. They are going to contact you. Kelly Deaver kdea...@kellydeaver.com (Yes, I work for BMC.

If you are having problems with the install, contact support. It is supported - http://media.cms.bmc.com/documents/BMC_Analytics_2_5_01Compatibility-Matrix_v1.pdf and this was the plan for how our customers could leverage BOXI more effectively. We routinely have customers buy Analytics then upgrade from Professional to Premium so the can use Crystal Web. Kelly Deaver kdea...@kellydeaver.com (Yes, I work for BMC.

Ok, you can’t use the limited BOXI that comes with Analytics as your Mid-Tier reporting engine. Fine. I’ve seen several posts about the Analytics BOXI not working with MT/Crystal, but found nothing regarding the full BOXI working for Analytics. SO if you own the full BOXI Enterprise Premium R2 SP2 (which works with MT), can it work with Analytics? Anybody gotten that configuration to work? We having issues with this in that when using the full BOXI Enterprise Premium R2 SP2 (11.5), the Analytics Universe will not install.

You can't use it as your Crystal Report Server. The version that comes with BMC Analytics is Business Objects Professional. Professional limits use to ONE BO module. To use with mutliple modules (analytics and reporting) you have to purchase the upgrade to BO Premium from SAP.
