URGENT: Connecting BPC 10.0 with BI4.0, with Universe Design Tool

Question

Hi all,
I have quite an urgent question that I need some guidance from all you SAP gurus on!
Is it possible to connect BPC 10 to BI4 using Universe Design Tool? We are under the impression very few people have connected these pieces of software together, if at all. It is very important to a Project I am on at the moment as to whether it is possible so any advice would be very much appreciated.
So far we have done..
Software is installed - Universe Design Tool (UDT)
Logins have been created for BPC 10
Opened up UDT and go through the Wizard;
Connection name is BPC CCONNECTION
Select data access driver: Business Planning and Consolidation OLE DB for OLAP
Enter the server address for BPC 10 (This is the URL that we log in to the BPC Admin Console)
After we try to continue, we get the error as follows:

If anyone could give any kind of advice I would really apprecaite it!

Hi Nick,
If you are trying to connect BPC 10 NW to BI 4.0 then I have some suggestions. We did this in our SAP EPM 10 training. In the Admin go to the model tab , select your model and edit it. Select the check box Use as a source. This creates a transient query in the backend.. Then we designed the connection in IDT (Information Design tool). Login to IDT and create a new project. Now Right click on the project and create a new OLAP connection. Select SAP BICS as driver selection. Provide the server details and user aunthetication. Select specify a cube in connection option. Now You can select your model <MODELNAME>_B folder and u will see one query with /CPMB/TQ_XXXX. Test your connection and publish your connection to repository . Now you can use this connection for creating Interactive Analysis (Webi Report). I am not sure about the reporting client you wish to use.
Hope this Helps
