General Universe Information


The documents listed on this page contain information for all EDW universes.

 



Universe Mapping Document
This document is helpful in mapping Business Objects classes and objects to their corresponding physical table and column names within the Data Warehouse. This aids in bridging the gap between technical data structures and more general Business Objects users.

To view a specific universe, select using the drop down arrow on the Universe column.


Universe Viewer
The Universe Viewer is an interactive tour of all EDW universes available in BusinessObjects.  Use the viewer to navigate the universe structures to see the objects and classes available.  The universe viewer provides definitions and specifies each object type (dimension, detail, or measure.)

You must be the administrator of your computer to run the viewer.  You will be prompted to allow Authorware files to be downloaded to your computer.  Click "Yes" to launch the viewer.

    NOTE: The Universe Viewer does not reflect information for BusinessObjects XI and is only current through March 2008 for BusinessObjects 6.5.
