5.WhatareEnterpriseandWorkgroupmodes?
Designer lets you save universes in either enterprise or workgroup mode.Enterprisemode means
that you are working in an environment with a repository. Workgroupmode means that you are
workingwithoutarepository.Themodeinwhichyousaveyouruniversedetermineswhetherother
designers are able to access them. By default, a universe is saved in the mode in which you are
already working. For example, if you launched a session in enterprise mode, any universe you
saveisautomaticallyinthatmode.

10.Howdoyoudefineuniverseparameters?
The first step in creating a universe is to specify its parameters. These parameters include the
definitionofauniverse,whichiscomprisedof:theuniversename,adescriptionoftheuniverse,a
connection to an RDBMS. You enter universe parameters from the Universe Parameters dialog
box.Thisdialogboxalsoletsyousetupdatabaseoptions,externalstrategies,graphicoptions,and

Theta or NonEqui join: links tables based on a relationship other than equality between two
columns.Ajoinisarelationaloperationthatcausestwoormoretableswithacommondomainto

14.Howdoyoudesignauniverse?
Thedesignmethodconsistsoftwomajorphases.
During the first phase, you create the underlying database structure of your universe. This
structure includes the tables and columns of a database and the joins by which they are linked.
You may need to resolve loops which occur in the joins using aliases or contexts. You can
concludethisphasebytestingtheintegrityoftheoverallstructure.
Duringthesecondphase,youcanproceedtoenhancethecomponentsofyouruniverse.Youcan
alsopreparecertainobjectsformultidimensionalanalysis.Aswiththefirstphase,youshouldtest
the integrity of your universe structure. Finally, you can distribute your universes to users by
exportingthemtotherepositoryorviayourfilesystem.
15.WhatarethecomponentsoftheDesignerinterface?
InDesigner,youcreateauniverseusingthreeareas:theUniversepane,theStructurepane,the
TableBrowser.TheUniversepanedisplaysthecomponentsoftheuniversefromthepointofview
of BusinessObjects that is the classes, objects, and conditions. The Structure pane reflects the
underlyingdatabasestructureoftheuniverseincludingthetables,columns,andjoins.TheTable
Browser is the component that lets you create the classes and objects of the universe from the
tablesandcolumnsofadatabase.
16.Whatareclasses/objects?
An object maps to data or a derivation of data in the database. For the purposes of
multidimensionalanalysis,anobjectcanbequalifiedasoneofthreetypes:adimension,detail,or
measure.
Aclassisacollectionofobjectsbasedonbusinesscategories.
Auniverseisasetofclassesandobjectsintendedforaspecificapplicationorgroupofusers.
17.Whatareclasses?
Aclassisalogicalgroupingofobjectswithinauniverse.Ingeneral,thenameofaclassreflectsa
business concept that conveys the category or type of objects. For example, in a universe
pertainingtohumanresources,oneclassmightbeEmployees.Aclasscanbefurtherdividedinto
subclasses.Inthehumanresourcesuniverse,asubclassoftheEmployeesclasscouldbePersonal

manager, objects might be Employee Name, Address, Salary, or Bonus, while for a financial
analyst, objects might be Profit Margin, Return on Investment, etc. For the purposes of
multidimensional analysis, objects are qualified as one of three types: dimension, detail, or
measure.
19.WhatareDimensionMeasureDetailObjects?

20.Whatishierarchy
Groups of related dimension objects are referred to as dimension hierarchies. An example of a
dimensionhierarchyisGeography,whichcanconsistofCity,Region,andCountry.(Hierarchyis
an ordered series of related dimensions, which can be used, in multidimensional analysis) Good

22.CanaUniversehavemorethan1factTable?
Yes.Typicallyauniversecanhavemorethan1facttableandnumerousaggregatedtables.
23.WhatareContexts?
Acontextisarulethatdetermineswhichoftwopathscanbechosenwhenmorethanonepathis
possible in the database from one table to another. It helps in resolving the loops created by
variousjoinsintheuniversetables.
Withcertaindatabasestructures,youmayneedtousecontextsratherthanaliasestoresolveloops.
A situation where this commonly occurs is a transactional database with multiple fact tables
(multiplestars)thatsharelookuptables.
24.WhatareaggregatedtablesandhowwouldyouuseitinBOUniverse
Aggregatetable
Aggregate tables are table which contains summarized data at different level depending on the
need of reports. Imagine a fact table which contains granular data up to minutes transaction.
Now if you are developing a reports which has hour, day, week, month, quarter, year level
summaries.Queriestogetthesesummaryvalueswillscanmillionsofrecordswhichwouldinturn

table.
PossibleproblemsofusingAggregatetable
Aggregatetablearegoodtoachieveperformanceforhighlevelsummeryqueries.Howeverifthere
aremultipleaggregatetableswhichcontainssummaryvaluesthenusingaggregatetablemightbe
anissue.
Considerfollowingexample
e.g.youhavetwoaggregatetable

BuiltinStrategies:Designerprovidesanumberofdefaultstrategieswhichwecanuse.Theseare
strategies for extracting joins, detecting cardinalities, and creating default classes and objects.
OptionsforindicatingdefaultstrategiesarelocatedintheDatabasetaboftheOptionsdialogbox.
External Strategies: We can also create our own strategies. Such strategies are referred to as
externalstrategies.Withanexternalstrategy,wecanspecifytheexactwaythatobjectsandjoins

30.Howdoyouspecifyexternalstrategies?
Withanexternalstrategy,youcanspecifytheexactwaythatobjectsandjoinsaretobeextracted
from the database structure. All external strategies are contained within the same text file. The
name of this text file is indicated in the .prm file specific to your RDBMS. In the .prm file, the
strategyfileisdeclaredasfollows:STG=[StrategyFileName]whereStrategyFileNameisthename
ofthestrategyfile.

31.Whatarethevisualizationoptionsavailable?
Designercontainsavarietyoffeaturesfororganizingandviewingthetablesandcolumnsinthe
Structure pane. Among these features are: List Mode, which adds three panes to the Structure
pane. These panes are for viewing the names of tables, joins, and contexts. When you click a
component in a pane, its corresponding graphical representation in the schema is highlighted.
Graphic options, which let you customize the shape or appearance of the tables, columns, joins,
andcardinalitiesintheStructurepane.
Arrange tables, a feature that reorganizes the tables in the Structure pane so as to produce an

A shortcut join is a join which links two table by bypassing intervening tables that exists in the
universe.ThisisusedwhenitispossibleincertaincircumstancestomakeSQLmoreefficient.
e.g. in Above example if you want get the client list and there countries you can simple join
country ID from client table to country id from country table. However this would introduce a

Cartesianproduct.
This CHASM trap can be resolved by executing separate query for each measure and then
mergingtheresults.

UsingDerivedTableinSAPBusinessObjectsUniverse
WhatareDerivedtableanditsuse?
Derived table is not a physical in database however its logical table created in Business Objects
UniverseusingSQL.Derivedtablecanbeconsideredlikeviewsindatabasewhereitsstructureis
definedusingSELECTstatement.
AdvantagesofDerivedTable:
Derived table in Universe lets you create a SQL statement to fetch data
usingvariousexpressions,joinswhichisnotpossibleusinguniversestructure.
Its lets you put inline views (select statement in FROM clause) which are not possible in
Universenormally.
e.g.
selectagg1_idasidfrom
(select*fromAgg_yr_qt_mt_mn_wk_rg_cy_sn_sr_qt_ma)
Derived table can be treated as normal tables and can be joined with actual table in
Universe.
Itsletsyoumergedatafromdifferenttablewhichisnotpossibleusingnormalinuniverse
usingunderlyingdatasources.
Onecanembedpromptsinderivedtabledefinition.
You can use derived table as a lookup when you have multiple fact table separated by
contexts. Normally if you want to use measured from different fact table thenBusiness
12/22
12/23/2014
Objects creates two queries one for each measure. Now some time this mayresult
inperformanceissues.Youcanavoidthisbycreatingalookuptablefordifferentfacttables
usingderivedtables.
e.g.
Suppose you have measure1 in fact1 and measure2 in fact2 and dimension is dim1. Now if you
createaquerywithdim1,measure1,measure2youwillgettwodifferentqueries.Nowinsteadof
thisyoucancreateseparatederivedtablewhichincludesdim1,measure1,measure2.
Disadvantagesifderivedtable.
Since derived table is not an actual table you may face performance issues if underlyingSQL

Nestedderivedtableisnothingbutaderivedtableusinganotherderivedindefinition.Itbehaves
similar to normal derived tables. Nested derived tables are generally using when underlying
derived table is complex to build. In that case you can create different small derived tables and
thenusethisderivedtableinmainderivedtable.

Usesandadvantagesofuniverselinking.
When you have to develop multiple universes but there are some common components
across these universes in that you can create a core universe of common components and

UniverseLinkingStrategies.
CoreStrategy:Thisstrategyisusedwhenyouneedtodevelopauniversefordifferentfunctions.In
suchcaseyoucancreatemultipleuniversesforeachfunctionandthelinkalluniversesinsingle
universe. This strategy allows us to create a common object only once and also help to split the
universedesigntaskamongstdevelopers.
Master Strategy: Suppose you have a requirement to create clone of existing universe. You can
achievethisbycreatinganothercopyofexistinguniversehoweverthiswillincreasemaintenance
as you would need to maintain two universes now. To avoid that you can use master linking
strategy.Inwhichexistinguniverseislinkedtonewblankuniversesoitcreatesacopyofexisting
universe with different CUID and we need to maintain only one universe as core universe is
linked.
Multiple Core Strategy: Now if you want divide the development task then you can follow this
approach in which developers can develop their universe and at the link all universe in one
universe.
LimitationsandRestrictionsofLinkingUniverses:
Boththeuniverses(coreandderived)mustusesameconnectionandshouldconnecttosame

Only one level of linking is allowed you can create derived universe from another derived

membership model. An integrated security system is available for customers who do not
currently use an entitlement database, although BusinessObjects Enterprise is designed for
integration with multiple concurrent thirdparty security systems, such as LDAP, Siteminder, or
MicrosoftActiveDirectory.
When a change is made to a user in the entitlement database, the change is then propogated to
BusinessObjectsEnterprise.
Managingobjects
The CMS keeps track of the object location and maintains the folder hierarchy. InfoObjects are
system metadata objects that contain contain index information, and the actual documents or
objects are stored in a file store. The separation of the object definition (metadata) from the

The report or the Instance alone will be deleted and leaving the temporary folders as it is. As a

intricacy for the Administrator when he goes for the FRS Backup. The Backup process will be

Howtogetridofthis?
ThePrunecommand,addedattheendofthecommandlineoftheFilerepositoryserverswill
behandyatthismoment.
Prune command, added at the end of the command line of servers triggers the server to go
through the Input or Output folders in the internal Filestore folder of Business Objects
Enterprisetocleanupalltheemptydirectories.
Trace command, added at the end of the command lines of the servers logs the activity of that
specificserverintheLoggingfolderoftheBOEinstallationdirectory.
We need to periodically delete the empty FRS directories to cleanup the disk but not to be
manually.InsteadtheFRSservershouldbestartedwiththePrunecommandlineswitch.When
this switch is used, the FRS servers status will remain Starting till the deletion is done. Once
deletionisdone,theserverswillstop.ThePruneswitchwillhavetoberemovedmanuallytoallow
