I
just went through hand-on
session on SAP BOBJ Design Studio 1.0 as shared on last year TechEd. Let me
do short wrap up of think that captured from the session and which are
interesting me a lot about SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio. Product was
formerly known as “SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for application
design” or “project ZEN”. With regards to client version SAP BusinessObjects
Analysis as replacement for BEx Analyzer I posted information here.

The most
expected functionality of this tool in my eyes would be migration tool for BEx
queries, WAD and even planning (BW-IP) applications. It was said in session
that SAP plans to work on it. If this won’t be aavailable any time soon
customer will stay stucked with BEx queries for long time.
