Master Universe and Derived Universe

Post Author: AmitP
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi
I am making changes to the Master Universe because of which the Derived Universe gets in to the read only mode. If I want to work on or edit the master and derived universe simultaneously, whether it is possible to do it?
If yes what is the way of doing it?

Only if you assign the master roles to users. (and maybe for testing, see 3)

Nope, but if one of it's derived roles is transported the master is automatically included in the transport. You'll have to make sure all derived roles are transported yourself.

Best order is to do all unit testing wit the master, with all org levels at * and create the derived roles only when the master is tested and corrected to satisfaction. In that way the derived roles only have to be tested for organizational shielding.

See 2, it goes there automatically. No choice.

  • Integrating OLAP Universe and Non OLAP Universe

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing a problem in integrating an OLAP universe and a universe on two dimensional database. Let me explain the scenario:
    I have one BW query which gives plants A, B and C sales details. I have one more database (SQL Server), which gives plants D and E sales details. The requirement is to show all the plants (A, B, C, D and E) sales in Xcelsius Dashboard. For this i followed the below approach:
    1. To bring SAP plants data, i created universe on BW Query (OLAP Universe)
    2. Created universe on SQL Server tables to bring Non-SAP plants data. (General Universe)
    Now my doubt is, is there any approach or functionality to join or merge these two universes (OLAP and Non-OLAP). I think we can merge Non-OLAP universes. If this is not possible then what is the best approach.
    Can anyone help me on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ramakrishna Kamurthy

    Hi,
    I n order to merge prompts in Web Intelligence query panel, they must be identoical: same question, same datatype.
    But you have to pay attention to the fact that only one list of values will be used for the twio data sources.
    So it the two data sources have different keys (or tecnnical names in SAP) then one query will work and the other not.
    Again if you try to synchronize those two data providers in WebI you will hit the same issues: keys and caption might be  different.
    So I suggest to do some SQL transformation on the relational universe to match keys and captions in SAP BW data source.
    I recommend this because SAP BW does not support custom calculations that return string or dates: only numeric values are supported.
    So in that case if you are sure that keys and captions will be identical in the two sources you will be able to merge prompts and synchronize both sources.

  • Designer (XI 3.1 SP4) sort order of classes in derived universe messed up

    Hello,
    We just recently upgraded our BOXI 3.1 environment to SP 4 FP 4.1 and we now notice that the order of our classes has changed in our derived universes. Even though the parameter CORE_ORDER_PRIORITY is set to Yes, the classes are sorted alphabetically.
    We would like all classes comming from linked universes to be at the top of the classes list, how can this be done in this version of designer?
    When we open the universe in designer 3.1 SP2 the order is as we expect it to be (all classes from the linked universes on top of the list)
    Kind regards
    Guy

    Hi,
    if a parameter that you know to be effective previously, is now no longer functioning post-patch...  
    either the parameter has inadvertently been overwritten and needs to be restored/confirmed again, 
    and/or perhaps another new parameter has been introduced which has usurped it,
    and/or  this is a regession introduced by a patch which needs to be submitted to support poste-haste.
    I would strongly recommend that you contact Primary Support via OSS and provide your files (UNVs + CNS + WID) via a BIAR file to the engineer.

  • Cascaded LOV do not work in derived universe

    Hi all,
    Can ay body help me on this.
    Cascaded LOV do not work in derived universe. The same cascaded LOV works                                                          
    well in component / core universe. 
    For Example:
    say object state is generated as Cascaded LOV's with city. in core universe. when you create a webi report based on the core uiverse and drag the object state it Cascaded LOV's are generated.
    now say you create aother universe as derived with the same universe as core universe. Now create a webi report based on derived universe try to drag the state object the cascaded LOV's do not get displayed.
    Note:we have not included any object of the core in the derived universe.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Florencio.

    Hi Joe,
    Thank you for your reply. Actually this is not a migrated derived universed. Yes it is the case with migrated reports from R2 to R3.1 till FP 1.3. But it is resoved in Fixpack 1.4 and above.
    In addition it is also a issue in Plain R3.1 with even sample universes that is e-fashion. it is resolved in FP 1.4.
    Thanks Again!!!!
    Florencio.

  • Crystal Reports-Universe and Business Views. Pros & cons. BVs to Universe

    Hi Gurus,
    We have around 500 + Crystal Reports developed on top of Business Views, Stored Procedures, Command Objects and some directly connected to the tables. No Universes are there in our current environment and all reports undergo frequent changes.
    We are planning to replace Business Views with Universe and use them as data provider for existing Crystal Reports and also planning to do some ad-hoc reporting using Web-Intelligence. I have expertise in developing both Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence reports. But I never designed any complex Crystal Reports against Universe / Business Views.  I heard that there are several issues with Crystal against Universe (e.g.: Cascading Prompts, LOVs, Row Level Security etc...) Most of our Crystal Reports have several sub-reports and some dynamic cascading parameters.
    We currently have not finalized any tool. Some are advising not to disturb the current environment and some say migrating to Universe is a good option because Business View manager tool is going to be trashed in few years.  My personal view is to used both Crystal and Web-I and replace Business Views with Universe because we can use it for both Crystal and Web-I.
    Can you please post your views on this?
    Also, please post the issues (& solutions) you got with Crystal Reports against Universe. Also advantages and disadvantages of using Universe over Business Views.
    Environment: Business Objects XI R2 and Crystal Reports XI R2
    Any help is greatly appreciated!    
    Many thanks,
    Shamanth.

    Hello,
    you can find an article about Crystal Reports on Universe here:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/20984c2b-17f1-2b10-1091-d18977f7cd8f
    As you said, an important item to consider is reusability: if you want to reuse your work between Crystal and WebI then you have to go with Universes.  If you are ok in keeping the two in separate worlds then Business Views can still bring a lot of value to CR.  Business views will stay in the market still for a long time (in mainteinance, so don't expect new features).
    Looking at the future, we expect that In the long term, business views will be replaced by universes. Keeping this in mind, a migration of a report from an 'older' version of a universe to a new one will probably go smoother than a migration from a business view to a universe.
    Hope that it helps

  • I am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

    i am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

    There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe).  At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it.  If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5 and my universal doc stopped working with it?  It has worked flawlessly for the last year and suddenly I get the message: "this iphone is not optimized for this device."  The music comes out too quiet to the speakers

    I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5 and my universal doc stopped working with it?  It has worked flawlessly for the last year and suddenly I get the message: "this iphone is not optimized for this device."  I dismiss the message, but the remote no longer works with it and the music is too quite to the speakers.  The remote works fine with my Macbook Pro.  I tried a restore on the iPhone and started from scrach, but the same problem exists.
    Any help with this?

  • Using a CWM format XML as datastore; COM SDK to read the file and create Universe

    Hello everyone
    We are in the process of migrating from a metadata store to BusinessObjects Universe and the plan is to use Java/COM SDK to accomplish that. We have run into limitations with both the SDKs. Java SDK doesn't provide that facility and using COM SDK we are trying to read from a XML file (metadata in CWM format) and create the universe but so far haven't been successful. If the (Universe)Designer can read a CWM format xml file (say created from BODS) we are wondering why can't a customer made COM program do the same.
    Has anyone attempted this and been successful. Please acknowledge.
    Thanks

    I have written C#.NET code to build universes on the fly using the Designer SDK with no problems.  However, I wasn't using CWM formatted data to do this.
    I have two suggestions for you:
    1.  Since not all of the functionality in the Designer tool seems to be available through the SDK, can you parse the CWM xml file in your code and build the universe based on the data instead of trying have Designer build it?
    2.  Since you're using Java, you may get better answers by posting this question in the Java SDK Application Development space here:  http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/java-sdk

  • Merge dimensions from universe and Excel file to display a value from Excel

    I have a report with two sections similar to the following: customer, and a concatenation of customer-equipment. The customer and equipment are displayed as a header on each page, not as part of a table. Each page of the report has data for a single customer-equipment combination, but each customer can have several pages if that customer has several equipments. The data for customers and equipments comes from a universe, but certain combinations of customer-equipment need to display a label that is found in an Excel spreadsheet that also contains customer and equipment information. The label will be displayed in a free-standing cell, not in a table.
    I created a concatenation of customer-equipment in the universe and in the spreadsheet to merge those dimensions. How can I retrieve the appropriate label from the spreadsheet? I want to have a free-standing cell that displays something to this effect: SELECT label FROM spreadsheet WHERE customer_equipment_combination_on_this_page = customer_equipment_combination_in_the_spreadsheet.
    Thanks.
    Pedro

    Hi Simone,
    Thanks for the tip. I'm using BOXI 3.1. The spreadsheet looks like this:
    Where the Concat column contains the formula "=UPPER(TRIM(A3)&TRIM(B3)&TRIM(C3))". The report looks like this:
    The vertical table contains data from the universe. The universe also contains Customer, Equipment1, and Equipment2. And the report is sectioned, so each Customer/Equipment1/Equipment2 combination should be on its own page.
    I imported the Excel data into Access and created a new universe to connect to that Access database, and then the labels display correctly. But for some reason it won't work if it is merging with an Excel document instead of a universe. The "Cust1 (Equip1/Equip5)" line used to be a free-standing cell on which the report was sectioned, but I replaced it with moved it a three row table for the customer, L1, and L2.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • How can we handle CLOB in Universe and WebIntelligence

    Hi,
    Could  you explain how can we handle CLOB in Universe and WebIntelligence?If we use CLOB in either of this,how is the  Report performance ?Is the perfomance of report degraded? Appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Swapna

    Hi,
    There is no way around this, long texts are big chunks of data that have to be moved from the database to the webi report.
    Depending on how many rows of data you retrieve this can become a problem in various spots.
    1) network traffic (lots of data to move over the network).
    2) webi report memory (lots of data that needs to be stored in memory to work with the data).
    So you need to limit the query in either the number of rows being retrieved,
    or in the size of the data that is retrieved per row.
    Depending on your use of message text, you can limit long text object to a smaller number of characters.
    (Universe, Parameters, Controls...)
    Depending on your version of database and BO, the default of this value is 1000 or unrestricted.
    It might be that you just need an idea of the message and can limit this to 100 chars or similar, which should help performance.
    It is also possible that the text is always 'long' padded with spaces, in this case it can help to trim the message column in the universe already.
    Good luck,
    Marianne

  • BOXI3.0: Universe and Local Data Source Selection

    Hi all. I am Alias.
    I have one question. For the full XI3.0 installation, one of the products is Web Intelligence Rich Client.
    In Web Intelligence Rich Client, we can have Data Source Selection which is Universe and Local Data Source. But for Web Intelligence/InfoView, we can only select universe, or maybe canu2026 I need to explore more but still could not find it.
    Hope you guys can help me on this matter.
    Best regards,
    Alias

    Hi Jacques.
    Thanks for the link.
    WRC we need to install for every user desktop right? But for Webi/inforview we only install at server.
    In term of licensing, how it works?

  • How To Guide : Impact of a BEx query change to universes and WebI document

    Ever wondered about the impact of a BEx query change to your universes and Intelligence documents ? "If I change this, will I need to refresh the universe structure ? will my Web Intelligence documents break ?". This article aims at clarifying these questions for Web Intelligence documents that use OLAP Universe(s) based on BEx query(ies). More specifically, it clarifies which BEx query change does impact Universes and Web Intelligence documents and which one is transparent to them.
    The first part of this article provides a summary table. The second part explains what to do to make the universe and Web Intelligence documents reflect the BEx query change. And finally, it covers each change scenario in details with more explanation and screen shots.

    Hi Rajesh J Salecha,
    What I understood is like :
    You have two queries and both gives same results but one of the query having a parameter.
    You have one report which is using query1.  Now you want that report to be copied as Report2 and use Query2 instead of Query1.
    If the this is the issue, then you copy Report1 as Report2 and go in Database and change the Data source location to Query2.
    Hope this will help you.  If my understanding is wrong then give us the work flow.
    Thanks,

  • Userrights to use universes and WebI

    Hi,
    I have a BO Edge 4.0 SP2 server here and have problems with user rights: it's afresh installation and I can't create a new WebI document using the eFashion sample universe - I open WebI, login with a test-user, click on "new document", select the eFashion universe and just get "No business layer sent back from server".
    I have a maybe similar problem with Crystal Reports 2011: again the same, I click on create new document and get the message that I don't have sufficient rights to use the eFashion universe.
    I already added "Full control" to the universe-folder in CMC, Universes.
    What's missing?
    Thanks!

    Hi Steve,
    Also make sure that you have given Full Control rights on Connections in CMC and then test the issue.
