Web browsers

Esri does not test all combinations of web browsers (and the underlying client operating systems) listed as supported by SAP BusinessObjects. Rather, a subset of web browsers is selected, and testing is performed on the most recent operating systems. Not all selected browsers are tested on all identified operating systems.

Esri performs robust testing on the Windows platform. The following table is a subset of the web browsers actively supported by SAP BusinessObjects. Full indicates a full test run was performed by Esri. Limited indicates testing that was limited in scope. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 4.0 SP04 supports only 32-bit browsers.
