Function to show Universe Objects used by reports

Is there a function in XI3.1 to see all of the reports in which a particular Object is being used?
I don't see any of the canned audit reports that would show this.
Example: I have a Universe Object called "Ins. Proper Name'' and I want to see how many of our reports are using this object.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
Here is what I use:
Result Objects:
-Universe Name from Actions/Action Details
-Action Type from Actions
-Document Name from Actions/Document Operation
-Action Time from Actions
-Action Type Detail from Action/Action Type
Query Filters:
-Action Time Between <Begin Date> and <End Date>
Report Filters:
-Action Type In List: SQL Value
Note: Action Type Detail contains the SQL for every query that is run within the date range provided. While the SQL contains the name of every query in every report, it does not use reference a universe object by name. i,e, to check whether a specific universe object exists in the report, you will have to search for the object's sql.
Also, I use an additional another query filter to return only objects that match a specific pattern.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Best,
Srinivas

  • How / can I have jpg logo objects used on reports automatically updated

    How / can I have jpg logo objects used on reports automatically updated after making changes to the repository copy of the jpg logo object in the repository?   The reports are in the enterprise items folder of the repository and the logo.jpg file is in a subfolder of repository items.  I made changes but the changes seem to apply only after I set my options in crystal reports and open the actual rpt file itself. 
    Is there a way to have the changes to the logo show / apply in all reports that have the repository item logo inserted into it without having to open every rpt file in the repository?

    Yes, I understand that...  the problem I was having was that check box being unchecked whenever an unrelated change was made to rpt file...  I was able to ensure that it remained checked by doing save as to the rpt file and making sure the "enable repository refresh" box was checked and replacing the file when prompted upons saving the rpt file...

  • BO4 - Auditing show if object used in any reports?

    Hi,
    Considering hiding objects in universe but want to ascertain if objects used in any reports.
    Had a look at the default auditing reports but cannot see anything obvious.
    Anyone know if possible to determine if a particular object and/or class from a unx file used in any reports?
    Thanks

    This cannot be achieved by Auditing or Query Builder. You can write a custom SDK code to get this info.

  • Universe Objects in DESKI Reports - Usage

    Hi All,
    I have 100+ DESKI reports and all of the reporting comes from one Universe. What I am trying to
    understand is which objects get used the most from those 100+ DESKI reports.
    I am using BOXI Rel 3 SP 3
    The reason I am asking this question is firstly I am new to this company and the usual people hate
    change and information is limited.
    Many Thanks in Advance

    Thanks Amit for the reply, please can you advise where I can find meta data exchange?
    I am aware of meta data exchange in Designer but have not come across the 'impact tab' or an option that allows you to download the field names used.
    I am using BOXI Rel 3.1 SP 3
    Many Thanks

  • SCOM show every object in the report

    Hi,
    i got the following output in the report all objects are appearing before the report itself, any help in not showing this ?

    Hi,
    Do you mean that without click on plus sign, all objects are shown in the report?
    Then what happen when you click on plus sign?
    As far as I can tell, the report is build by report builder, and stored in the corresponding management pack, if you don't want the report like this, then we may need to rebuild it with designer, or create another report by using report builder.

  • How to identify reports that are using a specific universe object?

    Any idea how to use BO Auditor or Metadata Manager to identify webi reports that are using a specific universe object or universe prompt in the report SQL?

    Hi Samuel,
    In case you are using BOXIR2 you can do this by editing the crystalenterprise.webi.xml file.
    Replace the CrystalEnterprise.Webi.xml file (Take a backup) with the edited one.                                                                               
    Path where you can find this file- Tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/CrystalEnterprise.Webapps/ePortfolio/plugins                                                                               
    Paste the Custom Documentation folder in Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\ 
    May I know your email Id so that I can send you the edited crystalenterprise.webi.xml file.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    How do I find out all webi reports using a particular universe object or universe prompt in the report SQL?

    Samuel,
    You might have some success working with an Excel spreadsheet which has been programmed with macros and was developed to access the CMS database and produce a universe to reporting pairing product.  The source for this spreadsheet/macro is on the BOB board, available here:

  • Report to check authorization object used in customized programs

    Hi Guys,
    An auditor came and he raised a question to us, he asked whether all of our customized transactions and programs are maintained with authorization checks? The question is how can we check what authorization objects are used for our customized programs and transaction codes? The developer did not maintain the objects used for that program in SU24 table. Is there a program or a report to show us all the authorization object used for a customised program or transaction? Example : T-code MIGO we can check in SU24 table for all the authorization object used. How do we check for customized tcodes? Please advise. Thanks!
    Edited by: Jarod Tan on Nov 25, 2010 9:42 AM

    Note that some programs are built in such a way that no (visible) auth check is necessary, or even desired at all.
    To determine the necessity of an auth check, you should check that starting it has an entry point (tcode, rfc, service) which is appropriately restricted. The rest (whether and where and how a further check is evaluated) is entirely dependent to what the program actually does.
    Well designed applications generally have centralized functions and methods, and the checks are in there or a "base check" they use.
    Others again use the same in UI programming to determine the visibility of functions, to make the application more intuitive for the user. This on it's own is however not a sufficient auth check to rely on.
    Code review is an art form!

  • Is there a tool that could export objects used in a report program?

    Hello Experts,
    I'm new in ABAP programming, recently my team members wanted to find a tool in the SAP system, which could export a list of objects that used in a report program. For example, I want to figure out what function modules and classes are used in a report program, using the tool, I could get a list that have the name of the modules and classed used and even source code of them.
    The function of the tool acts like 'where-used list' showed in the SAP system, but the differences is I do not have to type the name of the objects. The tool is just focus on the specific report program and list the name and source code of the objects used in that report program.
    Hope I explain this clearly.
    Is SAP system has such tools? Please give me some hints on this.
    Thanks you all for the time and help in advance.

  • How to get list of custom objects used in abap report program?

    Hi friends,
    I have a requirement in which I have to scan the entire abap report and retrieve list of custom objects used in it for example custom tables, data elements, structures, table types etc,. Is there any provision in SAP like fuction modules to do this functionality?  As of now I am coding everything manually where so many possibilities are there for all kinds of objects. Provide your answers and suggestions...
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    The best way to do this is environment analysis. Follow the steps:
    1. Open se38, type in the program name (don't click on on display/change or create button, stay on first screen only)
    2. Click on environment analysis button (hot key SHIFT+F4)
    3. It will throw a pop-up, which will ask for type of object you want to see, which are linked /used by this program. select all (or may be if you are only interested in Tables, then select table only)
    4. Hit 'Enter'
    You will get the full list of all objects used in this report program. Just note down the one which starts with Z or Y and that's it.
    Cheers,

  • How to figure out which universes they use for a massive number of reports?

    Hi,
    In Web Intelligence or CMS or by using any means, is there an easy way to generate a list that shows all reports and the universes they use?  The reason I'm asking this question is that I want to clean up universes but I need to know which reports use which universes.  With over 1000 reports in repository, it is not feasible to go into every report to see which universes it uses.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks a lot.
    The Query Builder does the trick: http://<CMS host name>:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch/query/ie.jsp although it cannot provide the location of the reports but it does provide the name and owner of the reports.
    The following blog helps on how to construct the Query Builder queries:
