Manta SAP BO Scanner should support SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025 Version 14.4.0.5411.4

Background:

Manta SAP BO Scanner currently does not support scanning of SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025 (Version: 14.4.0.5411.4) and fails to scan.
Our organization migrated from SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.3 Support Pack 4 Patch 8 (Version: 14.3.4.5099) on AIX Server to BI 2025 (Version: 14.4.0.5411.4) in production..

Impact:

Since our organization has already migrated to SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025 in October 2025, scanning is currently blocked in Manta. This limits our ability to maintain lineage and governance for SAP BO assets, which is critical for compliance and reporting.

Expected Outcome:

Manta should provide support for scanning SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025 (Version: 14.4.0.5411.4) to ensure compatibility with the latest SAP BO release and enable uninterrupted metadata scanning.

    We are considering this topic and will return to it after the Christmas break - however, this is a non-trivial epic.
