Max # of Objects in a universe

Is there a max # of objects in a cube that can be consumed by a universe (BI 4.0)? I am trying to place a universe on top of a large BW (7.3 SPS 5) cube. I am able to create the universe just fine, but when I try to refresh the structure the designer becomes non-responding.

Hi,
Could you please check the connection properties of the universe connection.
In the connection pool mode if 'Disconnect after each transaction' is selected, you can try testing the issue by selecting 'Keep the connection active for ' in the connection pool mode
Let me know the results of the test
Thank you
Hyder

Changing an Object in the Universe - does this auto show in the document??

Hello
I have to make some changes to some Dimension and Detail objects in my Universe as some of the underlying data is changing and so case statements that I have in my objects will need to change. For example, say I have an object called "Colour Description" then:
CASE WHEN code = 1 THEN red END
will now change to
CASE WHEN code = 1 THEN blue END
My question is, will this change in the code of the object automatically filter through to every document that the object is used in or will i have to go through every document that uses it to make sure the change has been made to the SQL.
Thanks in advance.
Julian

Once you have exported the universe, it will change the object for each report that does not have the "Do Not Generate SQL" option checked the next time that you log on and run it - literally the next time that report interacts with the CMS and find out its universe has changed, it will update the SQL. As long as you're not changing data types, you will be fine.

Not able to edit the lov of an object in a universe

Hi,
I am not able to edit the lov of an object in a universe.
The universe(XI3) is based on stored procedure but it also contains tables from database.
The object points to the table which is not a stored procedure, any idea why we are not able to edit its lovs.
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi,
Check required object properties for the option Edit LOVs is checked or not.
Cheers,

Creating objects in BO universe designer

Hi All,
I have designed a universe on the top of BEx Query. I want to create additional objects at Universe Level.
I am able to create objects in the Universe and they gets parsed, but when I pulled the same objects in the report query it generates a MDX error.
Even a simple <Expression> @select(Key Figures\Actual) </Expression>is not working
Please provide me some pointers for creating the objects.

Hi Didier,
I am creating objects in OLAP universe only.
I am using BO XI 3.1 with SAP Integration Kit installed on my system.
I am not able write any expression in the objects being created at universe level. Any expression, I write gives me the error while running the query while the object gets parsed at universe level.
for @Select() I am using the same as you write?
One more doubt what shuould be parameters of @Select()?
Technical Definition (Generated in the select clause) or Display Name (Class name\object Name)
If I am writing the definition as @Select([Measures].[000054728]) Then the object defition gets parsed but if I am writing it as @Select(Key Figures\Actual) then the object doesn't get parsed in the universe.
I guess I have read somewhere that we can use "@Select(Key Figures\Actual)' while writing the expressions. Please correct if I am wrong.
Regards,
Rohit

Get List of All Objects in Particular Universe

Hi,
Is there a way to extract/export the "names" of all objects in a universe to Excel or a text file so that I can then sort and analyse all the objects.
Thanks

Error "The Query Returned no Objects" while exporting Universe in UDT?

Hi,
I have created a Universe on top of BEx Query using UDT in SAP BO 4.1 and tried to Export the Universe to Repository the following error is appearing.
"The Query Returned no Objects" so "The Universe couldn't be exported".
Could you please suggest me what could be the issue and how to resolve this.

What version of Oracle 9i are you using? Do you have a standard 'NLS_LANG' environment variable set on client's machines? Or do you set it to different values on different machines?
Here is one of way you could get around it.
Could you specify the export parameter 'STATISTICS=NONE' while exporting the table data?
Try this and see.
If this is successful, you could use the import utility as usual. You could always compute or estimate statistics on the table after import.

Can we do mass update object descriptions in universe?

Hi,
I am looking a classic way to do mass (multiple) update "object descriptions" in universe.
However, I am now using BO XI 3.1

i think you can do this using the business objects SDK.
good luck

It will not parse! Creating a new object in the universe

Hi, we have a universe and BO reports. They work fine for our clients. We are on BO XI r3.1. Now, one client captures an additional piece of info. They would like to report against this and add it high up on our drilling heirarchy. "Sure, no problem". For the following I was logged in as administrator.
The additional data field is a 3 character code.
1) We added an additional column to the actual database table.
2) In Universe Designer, I refreshed universe structure and could see the additional column
3) Created an object 'Acode' that refers to db.new_field
4) Exported universe
Maybe worth mentioning that I can see this object and use it in reports fine in Infoview.
Now, I need to create a new object that will be one of 2 strings based on the 3 character code (Acode) i.e. the 'Atype' can be X or Y.
Here's my code and it just will not parse:
CASE
WHEN @Select(AFolder\Acode) = 'CEL'
THEN 'X'
ELSE u2018Yu2019
END
Error I get is:
Parse failed:Eception:DBD ODBC SQL Server driverStatement could not be prepared.State 42000
I'd appreciate any help, believe me I have searched the forums!
Thanks, Eddie

Creating new Variables/objects in OLAP Universe

Hi,
We are currently using BOXI 3.1 Sp2. We have defined BEX queries on which Universes have been generated (using MDX).
We are then creating WEBI reports using these Unvierses. We are not able to add variables/objects at universe level as the XML tags do not parse. We are on FP 1.4. Is there any solution to this, or is it a Bug?

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for the reply.
I did go thru the document you provided and did accordingly.
But still the syntax does not parse. In some cases, it does parse, but does not do the required filter.
Not sure what the issue is.
We would also like to create new objects/variables using If then else formula and other Characteristics.
For example, If company=XYZ then Measure-1000 else Measure.
But we get syntax error. It appears that only measures can be used in an If-then-else logic, which is absurd.
We have contacted SAP support on this, but they have not come back with a proper reply yet.

User Objects in SAP Universe

Hi ,
How i create user objects in BO SAP OLAP Universe.
for Example i have date field with like 12/02/2008.
now i want 2 fields like 2008 and Feb ..
i am getting error in report level when iam trying create one object with date format
thnx in advance

Hi Reddeppa,
As per my understanding what you had intended is that you have a Date Feild
11/02/2008
and you need to seperate this ..if it is so
you can use substr(date,1,4) in the report level.
so you can get 2 feilds one is the year and month.
Is this the one that you need.Let me know if i am clear to you.
Regards
Prashant

Hiding object in UNX universe

Hi, We are using BI 4 SP7.
We have recently converted UNV universe to UNX universe. There are some hidden objects in UNV that are used in reports it is fine with UNV.
After converting UNV to UNX, those reports are failing because of the hidden objects. If we un-hide them then report is working fine. So there seems to be change in behavior of UNV and UNX.
Our universe will be used by others to create ad-hoc/custom reports. We don't want to have these objects to be visible to those report creators. Is there a way to hide some objects but still use in reports.

Hi, I have tried it.
I created a business security profile and denied access to specific objects for a user.
Objects are restricted to that user in Query panel, this is fine. But that user is not able to access these objects in the standard reports. Below error is thrown when i tried to refresh the report.
"An internal error occured while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)"
Is there a way to enable access to objects for all users in reports but not Query panel ?
I added tried by adding 'ALL OBJECT' access in Display Data tab but it did not change anything.

How to get fill in the description of the objects in the universe on BW

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to inherit the description field from every characteristics and attributes to the desciption field in the universe ?
Let me know
thank you
Philippe

when you are within a universe in the designer module you have for example the object
L01 Plant . that comes from the characterisitc Plant . ( in the universe it is a dimension object)
if you go in the universe to the properties of the object, you will find out that you have 3 fields:
1 - description field: limited i believe to 255 characters and where you would put a business description
2 - Select Clause: where you put for example [0PLANT].[LEVEL01]
3 - Where Clause: which we do not use in our case
I am interested in getting the business description from BEX or any other BW tool .
it that something we could do
as a side notes, when going against an RDBMS database we do have a way , i believe by changing the external strategy in the universe to retrieve the comment field of a table and to put it in the description field.
I was wondering if there is a similar feature when going against BW
Please let me know if this is not clearer .. i wish i could attached a pic ..
Thank you
Philippe

Query builder how to list objects, description for universe

need query to list objects, object type, object description, object hidden property for selected universe

All information about Universes available using Query Builder can be queried like this:
SELECT * FROM CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = 'Universe'
Information such as objects used, etc, needs to be retrieved through the SDK:
A sample for this exists in the developer library:
[Direct Link to Sample|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/en/BO_SDK/unv_info_vb/data/dessdk_com_unvInfo_sample_115_en.zip]

Restrictions on Measure Objects..in Universe

Hello Everybody,
I am trying to apply Restrictions on Measure Objects based on a Financial Year rather than a Calender Year.
For example: I am trying to find Total Sales for a Financial Year( that may be like 01/06/2008 to 31/05/2009) not the regular Calender Year( 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2008)...
But i am unable to figure it out, how to do it exactly in Universe...
Any Suggestions or any peace of information is really appreciated...
Thanks
Raghu...

Hi,
Here is a sample with "Calendar Year/Month" characteristic. The calculation is the aggregation from September 20005 to July 2006.
You have to write an expression such like this:
<EXPRESSION>Aggregate({[0CALMONTH].[200509]:[0CALMONTH].[200607]})</EXPRESSION>

Didier
