Hi Naresh, Thank you very much for your detail video. I'm very new to this technology. I searched all the SAP documents and videos to get this information and couldn't found any.But you described in a very easy and understandable way. Thank you.
Thanks for your comments !! Glad that you liked the demo. 1. It is the new tool for creating the universe starting 4.0, universe designer is also available for now but would face out eventually. It has most of the features from Universe designer plus some new features, one of them being..Data Federation (multi source universe) 2. For Edge I think you would need server OS. Regards, Naresh
I enjoyed watching this video and recommend others to watch. I see you have explained all the steps required to create to publish. Thanks for educating the community. I wish you produce few more videos since your topic knowledge is very good.
@Felipe Glad that it helped . It's been sometime I looked at SAP BOBJ. What is the latest version and has the information design tool changed a lot compared to the version in this video ?
@swapna1976us Glad that the demos helped. After your question, I have added some information in the description of the video on where to download SAP Business Objects Edge 4.0 trial version. Regards, Naresh
Thanks Naresh. I am new to BOBJ and trying to download a trial version of BOBJ 4.0. Can you please let me know where I can download? Thanks for all your demos.
thanks for the comment ! please do take a moment to share the video on your social network (facebook and linkedin) if possible, that way it reaches more folks ! thanks again
You are selfless soul. Teaching this without promoting your class . And asking others to share on social media. god bless you always. People like you are indeed great. I am envious of the people who get to work with you as coworkers.
wow... so kind of you to say so... it takes hours to create a video sometimes and it takes someone a few seconds to leave a comment or share the video and a comment like yours makes my day. Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment David !! Thanks !
Hi Naresh. As I am completely new so apologies in advance if sound silly. I have visited some documents about SAP BI. As suggested by many i see there is GUI or may be netweaver GUI needed to create Infoobject however that seems to be missing from my system. I only have Designer and Universe builder installed in my system(BO XI 3.1 Client tool ) along with access to web based tool Infoview is it something related to server/client version ? How do i get other tools which i see in other tutorials.
Hello Karthik, Somehow missed your note. Thanks for comments. For the ODBC connectivity it depends on which database. For some databases you could do either ODBC or native connectivity. So yes connection is necessary but need not be ODBC depending on the db. Hope that helps ! Regards, Naresh
Good explanation, as per the process normally we create data foundation on .cns connection and there after but you have created locally on the right click on project and create data foundation. May be its due to we dont want to put more pressure on server side.
It’s been so long so don’t remember much -:) but if memory serves me right I used to create it locally as I did not see a need to depend on the server during the initial designing
Hello Santosh, When you talk of creating info objects, you are tallking about SAP BW right ? and not SAP Business Objects. Please try posting your question about this on SCN as I might not be able to help much in BW. Regards, Naresh
Very nice explanation. Now that the report can be opened in WEBI Rich Client. Is it possible to get the universe path corresponding to that report from Rich client itself? To be precise can we get where the universe details, where the report is actually stored on the server just by looking at the report?
We can just export only that universe related objects in the report panel in rich client, there is no such option like that in rich client side i think. But if it will be there then its great.
@@pravallikaaddanki5038 Yes, there is away to do that. Edit the report--> Go to Data access tab and click on EDIT button. You will find the universe that is being used for generating that particular report.
First of all nice Demo, you did a great job. I'm still using BO 3.1 so I have some questions: 1) Is Information Design Tool meant to substitute Universe Designer? 2) Information Design Tool seems to enable me to create a Universe from different databases(connections), correct? I also have noticed the Rich client is somewhat different from the BO 3.1 one :)
Need Help: I had saved the universe locally but it is not reflecting in the list of universe in WebI Rich Client. FYI, the extension of universe file that I had saved locally is .unx and I didn't delete the Sales Fact table as i was not able to drag and drop Amount under the folder measure.
+IrrepressibleGuile Mr Irrepressible is the server up and running ? are u able to log into the server from your browser and access webi and any reprot/universe there ?
+Naresh Ganatra thanks 4 the reply. the resolution was to add the cmc server ip address to my local machine host file and login using an enterprise account. windows login didnt work for some reason. thanks again
Hi Naresh, thanks for your wonderfull video. I did learn a lot. I followed all your steps till publishing the universe succcessfully into local folder. But M not able to see the published universe in WEB INTELLIGENCE even after refreshing the universe list. Please Naresh, help me.
Shruti Yendigeri where in webi are you checking...I mean if you are going to Infoview and tring web intelligence then you will not see your locally published universe...you have to publish your universe on to the server...to see a locally published universe you have to use webi rich client and login into offline mode... In other words Locally published universe...offline webi universe published on server...webi through infoview. Hope that helps !
Naresh Ganatra Thanks sir. M using Web Intelligence Rich Client. I logged on to the system with offline mode. But could not retrive the published universe. Then, I tried publishing the universe into repository. It was publihed successfully. But when m testing the connection, M getting this error - " [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified ". Kindly please help me out.
Shruti Yendigeri Looks like you have a ODBC connection on your local machine from where you created the universe. You need a ODBC connection on the server too if you are publishing the universe...looks like that might be missing on the server in this case... Thanks,
@aatqz64 I know its not related anyway to this i would like to know how to install Bo on linux ive seen a video thats the only one on YT BUt where can i find the installation files of BO for linux hope you help me
