Hi John, when you import the universe is the speed normal? I can’t really think of why this would be. I hope someone else can propose an idea.

Hi Julian,

I’ve found this article very informative. However i ran into an issue and was hoping to find a suitable solution. I moved a universe from one environment to another and now when i try to export the Universe in the new environment it takes too long. But, its working fine in the old environment. Any tips will really help.
Thanks,

Hi,

I think this article is amazing. However, it would have been even better if the questions mentioned in the article could have been answered too.

Hi Ann T, to be honest this may be possible using the SDK, but I would not call that the best method as it could be VERY unreliable. The best method is not the quickest, but it is the most reliable. This is to open the report, go to the query panel, and change the universe there. If you would like some screenshots and details on this method let me know and I will put together a new article (I am overdue for a new one by now!).

I’ve found this article quite informative and it has answered some of my questions. However, I’m still not sure what the most efficient/streamlined method would be to move Webi reports from one universe to another universe. Would it be similar to moving a crystal report from one DB to another? If so, would this be done in Web Intelligence?

Thanks!

Hi Julian

Your post are so helpful to our project. I would be very interested in the article you are creating to properly maintain Webi reports to Universe binding as we migrate to our next environments. What are the best practices for editing, importing,exporting universes without creating so many versions each time we do an export. Such an article is valuable and should require payment.
Thanks again
Michael D

Hi Shrey, you are asking for something quite general and completely off the topic of this article. Please understand that I cannot justify my limited time spent answering such a request.

Hi Julian,

I am just a fresher and new to Business Objects. I just wanted to compare versions of BO with BO XI. Your post was very informative. Could you please give me some references from where I could build up a strong foundation in Business Intelligence. What exactly is the market value for same?

Regards,
Shrey

I would double-check your universe. Parse all of the modified/new objects first. Then you could start pulling in objects into a new report until you figure out which one is the trouble maker. Just debugging that’s all.

Hi,
I have an existing report based on few tables. In one of those tables I have added new columns and I have refreshed the universe structure and created those objects in the already existing class. After exporting the universe and launching my report I’m seeing an error: universe contains unresolvable objects. Is there any way to avoid this error and retain my report layout?

Thanks,
