I remember when SAS 9.1 was released and the new SAS Web OLAP viewer for Java (SWOVJ) was released.
It was a great new interface to replace the old MRV.
It went through a few iterations, but not a lot changed (although I was always confused about which version could only open Cubes and whihc could open Cubes and Relational adata).
And then there was the SAS Web OLAP Viewer for .Net (SWOVN), always tricky in demo’s trying to decide which one to demo. showing both would always confuse people, especially as the both had different functionality. (By the way the answer ended up being demo the Java one, unless the customers were a Microsoft bigets)
The goal of SAS development was always to roll the OLAP Viewer functionality into Web Report Studio, and after just completing a SAS BI 4.3 client upgrade it looks like it has happened.
In the upgrade notes it says:
“The product has been upgraded from Version 4.2 to Version 4.3.
The SAS Web OLAP Viewer application is no longer supported. It has been replaced by functionality that is available in SAS Web Report Studio 4.3.”
So SAS Web OLAP Viewer me old friend, thanks for all your help, and RIP.
