Universe name (XIR2)

After exporting a universe file in Designer the name of the univers keeps allways on "Univers1" and cannot be changed. This has two implications: 1. I need later on a descriptive name in InfoView and 2. if I export a new universe file in the Designer the old univers file will be overwritten with (you guessed right) "Univers1".

when you export a universe the key here is the universe name,
you have nothing to do just import this universe to the designer , get the paramter window
change the name of the universe
you will have a new universe with the new name.
if you want to delete the old one "universe1"
you can login to the CMS the administration panel
and delete universe 1
good luck

  • Link between reports and universes and universe name change

    I want to change a universe name.
    What is the impact on my WebI reports and DeskI reports ?
    Is it risky ? Will the link between reports and universes be saved ?
    Does someone know how the link between reports and universes works for WebI reports and DeskI reports ?
    Thanks

    Hello Umberto,
    I recommend to post this query to the [WEBI|SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence; and [DESKI|SAP BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence; forums.
    These forums are monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all Webi and Deski queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

    Thanks

    The Universe name is stored within the data context of the report so the report (deski and webi) refer to a Universe.
    Changing the name of that Universe has a very bad effect: the reports usually stop working!
    In order to change the name, you must manually visit each report and change the Universe associated with EACH QUERY IN EACH REPORT!!  It can be done, but it is time consuming.  And you'll need both Universe names in the CMS until you're done
    Deski -> View Data, Definition, Click on the ... beside the Universe
    Webi -> Edit Query, Properties, Click on the ... beside the Universe

  • Misspelling of university name

    We have had more people reviewing our site and noticed that in iTunes, our site is spelled as Depaul University. It should be DePaul University. How can we change the name?

    You can change the name by clicking on Edit Site Preferences when logged in as an administrator and editing it directly on the page that appears.

  • Universe on SQL Server names instance

    Hi All,
    I am very new to BO and like to get some information regarding the data sources that BO support.
    I am using Business Obejcts Enterprise XI 2 release. And can I use SQL Server named instance as the data source. If so, how do I set the universe connection parameters. I select the DSN name and pass username and password. Ane when i create DSN, at the server name select SQLSERVER\INSTANCE NAME.
    I appreciate if anyone can help me
    palam01

    Hi,
    You can create connection using generic ODBC and odbc for sql server also.
    For that first you have to create a DSN from the control panel-->data sources.
    Create a DataSource  using the database you want to use.
    Now go to Universe>New>type the universe name
    Click on new connection >Next>Select Microsoft>MS SQL Server 2000> ODBC Drivers>Next>Type(secured), name the connection.
    Type in the user name and password and select the DSN name you created for sql server.
    Click on test connection.
    Click on next-->next and finish and OK.
    Now the universe that you are creating will use this connection and you can also use this connection for creating other universes.
    Hope this helps.

  • What happens to Desktop Intelligence reports when a universe changes name?

    Post Author: GregPye
    CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
    Hi
    We are experiencing intermittent issues with our DeskI reports that are pointing to a universe that subsequently changes its name.
    We seem to have some reports that cope with the name change perfectly well, and other reports that "cannot find universe" because it is looking for the new name.
    The issue with the latter, is that if DeskI cannot find the universe, it will then not allow you to repoint the universe in the View Data pane. When such reports are found, our workaround has had to be:
    1) copy universe and rename with old universe name
    2) open report and repoint to newly named universe name
    3) delete old universe name
    Should all reports automatically update when the universe simply changes their name? Why do some reports not do this? Is there something we can do to alleviate the situation?
    Many thanks

  • Login Failed error while creating a CR using Universe

    Hi,
    We created an Universe in SAP Business Objects system using SAP BW as source system and we selected sales cube for the universe.
    For ex universe name is : xyz
    Now i want to use this universe in crystal reports, we are using CR2008.
    I logged in to Crystal Reports>Blank Report>Create New Connection>Universes>selected xyz universe and i got the keyfigures and chars in query panel for the selected universe, dragged and dropped some chars and kf's in to result objects.
    After this when we click Ok it is giving an error message saying that Login Failed
    We are unable to get the solution for this anybody please guide us to solve this.

    Have you checked out this article:

  • Need help Crystal Reports running in BO 4.1 while using Universe as database connection.

    Sorry, I may not know how to describe this in the correct technical manner, but I'll explain in as simple terms as I can.
    I open up Crystal Reports 2013 click new document
    and it begins to ask for Database Expert.
    I select Universes and log in to my Business Objects Enterprise Explorer.   I then select the Universe that I want to write my report with,
    then i save the rpt on my local machine.
    then I log into my Business Objects 4.1 CMC or BI and upload this rpt file so that I can begin to schedule the report for example...
    but the problem i have is whenever I try to run the report, 
    it asks for a prompt for my database connection...  
    it displays the Universe name, but User Name Password, I am not sure what to write,
    do I write My login for Business Objects?  do I write the user name password of the database that Universe uses?
    in CMC I see a database configuration,  I tried many combinations and still have been receiving the following error message
    The viewer could not process an event. The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. []
    ---- Error code:0 [CRWEB00000119]
    From all I read the point of using the Universe in Crystal reports is to be automatic in such a way that it doesnt need the database conneciton, because its technically using the Universe as the database connection....
    so what am I doing wrong here?    maybe its my database configuration,    I keep reading that it doesnt need anything...   that you upload the Crystal Reports and it would just work...
    any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated..
    thanks
    -Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    What is the reporting DB used?
    The trick with your configuration is the following:
    - Universe Designer: 32bits application that may work fine on your desktop
    - Crystal 2013: 32bits application as well
    - When you export to the repository, Web Intelligence (64bits) has to process the Universe to extract the query.
    Your server should have the drivers required for Crystal + Universe: 32bit and 64bit versions.
    See more details on this KBA:

  • Export Universe after renamed it

    Hi!
    I am using Designer 6.5 and I have imported a universe, saved it with a test-extension and made some changes. Then I renamed it again to the original name and tried to export it.
    Now I get an errormessage which says that the file-name and the universe name already exist in the universe domain and that I need to rename it to export it. But what I really want is to overwrite the original one with mine with the same name. (Exactly as I would have done if i hadn't changed the name)
    Any ideas?
    Regards, Marianne

    Hi!
    If I export my copy, what happens to all reports and users etc that are "connected" to the original one?
    Will that still work? I read in another Forum that if I use "Save as" and rename it, it will get another Id regardless if I later "rename it back" or not. Does another Id affect anything else that I should be ware of?
    Regards, Marianne

  • Problem with font-family name

    I have adobe Univers LT Std font purchased and installed on my PC, but there is a problem when I try to use it on the webpage. The font has otf format. I noticed that Chrome and FireFox use different font-family names for this font. FireFox 25.0 seems to use OT Family name (Univers LT Std) as a font-family value, and Chrome 30 uses PS font name (UniversLTStd). So I ended up writing my css like this:
    p {
    font-family: UniversLTStd, Univers LT Std;
    Is there a way to avoid writing multiple family names for a single font to work in different browsers?
    I've checked the font's attributes with FontLab Studio:
    Basic set of font names:
    Family name: Univers LT Std 55
    PS font name: UniversLTStd
    Full name: Univers LT Std 55 Roman
    Menu name: Univers LT Std 55
    FOND name: Univers LT Std 55
    OpenType-specific names:
    OT Family name: Univers LT Std
    OT style name: 55 Roman
    Mac name: Univers LT Std 55
    But didn't find any universal name to use as a font-family.

    Hello Ragu,
    Newly created font family for FR is ZNGO (Similiar to Gothic font). I can see this font family via SE73.
    If I execute the script for FR language output is porpor.
    Now, we have added 2 more countries UK and Germany. So client wants ouput exactly in the same way as that of FR. So I am using ZNGO in paragraph formats. But output for FR an EN doses not contain this font family. I think when script is called in EN and DE language, somehow it does not detect ZNGO font family.
    So my question is (again) whether font famliy is langauage dependent? If yes, then how to change/view languages for font family. is there any option in SE73 or any other transaction? If not, then why am i facing this problem?

  • Crystal Report Universe Connection

    Hello,
    I have a Crystal report developed based on Universe as the data source. Say this report is in Dev environment. Suppose I need to promote this report to Test environment to UAT or production then how is it possible?    
    I have used import wizard using this I am able to move my report from one environment to another. report is successfully moved from source to destination but when I go to refresh the crystal report, an error is thrown (both in Crystal Report designer and Info view) :
    "Failed to open the connection. 
    Details:
    Update of the SQL command from the Universe failed. This report cannot be
    refreshed unless the SQL command is updated from the Universe."
    As such the Dev copy works fine. Please suggest me how to move a report from 1 environment to another.
    If I changes connection manually in UAT Database --> Set Database location -->update then same report work fine,
    But I have multiple reports I cannot manually edit connection of each report.
    Useful details as below.
    Crystal Reports 2008 (Service Pack 1)
    Business Objects 3.1 
    View the connection details in report.
    Set database location
    Expand Universe connection
    Properties - It will show server details of connection- user name - universe name- path of universe
    Kindly advice.

    This is the same as: Migration of Crystal Report
    Please do not cross post as this is against the SCN Rules of Engagement.
    If this is a critical issue, you should be able to create a phone case - I suspect for you this would be free as you have BI / BO(?). If you are not sure how to, see your admin.
    I will be locking this post now. Please continue on the above link.

  • Universal Adapter- CRM load is failing

    Hi friends,
    Recently had a successful load for the following SA in my DAC
    *) Human Resources.
    *) Finance.
    *) Supply Chain Mgmt.
    *) Procurement and Spend.
    *) Projects.
    Since all the above SA are in the ORA_R1213 Adaptor. After the successful load im in the verge of performing Complete CRM load which is in the Universal Adaptor.
    What i did is i added the complete CRM Subject Area to my existing ORA_R1213 Subject Area(nearly i had 23 subject areas for CRM). And generated the parameters for the subject areas of the following container(ORA_R1213 and Universal) in my subject area like the following.
    Name:DB_Connection_OLAP-->Value: DataWarehouse-->SourceSystem: Universal
    Name:DB_Connection_OLAP-->Value: DataWarehouse-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
    Name:DB_Connection_OLTP-->Value: ORA_R1213-->SourceSystem: Universal
    Name:DB_Connection_OLTP-->Value: ORA_R1213-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
    Name:FlatFileConnection-->Value: ORA_R1213_Flatfile-->SourceSystem: Universal
    Name:FlatFileConnection-->Value: ORA_R1213_Flatfile-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
    Name:PLP-->Value: PLP-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
    Name:PLP-->Value: PLP-->SourceSystem: Universal
    Name:SDE_ORA_R1213 Adaptor-->Value: SDE_ORA_R1213 Adaptor-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
    Name:SDE Universal Adaptor-->Value: SDE Universal  Adaptor-->SourceSystem: Universal
    Name:SILOS-->Value: SILOS-->SourceSystem: Universal
    Name:SILOS-->Value: SILOS-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
    Name:SIL_Vert-->Value: SIL_Vert-->SourceSystem: UniversalAs i have Relational connection in informatica Workflow manager for both source and target like
    Source-->ORA_R1213
    Target-->DataWarehouse
    After generated parameters i builded it and performed a EP, in which my previous Subject Area will peform incr. load and my new CRM Subject Area will peform Full load in it. As a result i have total number of tasks like 1302, in that task only 200 is of successful task and remaining 1000 task is failing.
    When i seen the reason for the failed task, i can see the failed task is from the following universal folder
    Name:FlatFileConnection-->Value: ORA_R1213_Flatfile-->SourceSystem: Universal
    Im not sure exactly what is the problem as i couldnt find any ORA error behind this Universal Container CRM Failed task.
    Is am i missing anywhere else.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Query to get the List of Reports on a Universe

    Hi All,
    I want to write a query to get all the Web I and Crystal Reports that access a particular universe.
    Can anyone suggest me where to start.
    This is in BO 3.1 against Oracle databse.

    There are a few ways to do this:
    -  The easiest would be to use a Relationship Query from the CMC. To do this, go to the Universes section on the CMC, right click on the relevant universe, select tools >> Check Relationships.
    - Use Query Builder. You will need more than one query to pull the information you need. You could try something like the below (for Webi)
    SELECT SI_NAME, SI_WEBI, SI_DATACONNECTION FROM CI_APPOBJECTS
    WHERE SI_KIND = 'universe' and SI_NAME = 'Universe Name'
    This will give you a list of Webi Reports by SI_ID.
    You'll need another query to list Webi report names:
    SELECT SI_NAME FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ID IN (SI_ID from query above)
    - This is trivial via Auditing / the Activity universe. This of course will only return reports that have already run.
    Best.

    Hello Venkat,
    I would check this forum thread... how to create universe on excel sheet - I believe it may answer your questions. 
    I would also suggest reading the product guide for Universe Designer.  You can find this at http://support.businessobjects.com.  Path.. Documentation > Product Guides > Select 'Universe Designer' as Product and find relevant release.
