Conversely, native 64-bit offerings of SAP BusinessObjects products are designed to exclusively use 64-bit data source connectivity. Interoperability combinations between 32-bit / 64-bit releases of database client / server will be supported, so long as vendor compatibility between client middleware and server is guaranteed.
