Universe Creation Issues
What are the common issues faced during creation of universe?
-
Condition
A component that controls the type and the amount of data returned by a specific object in a query. A condition created in the Designer module is referred to as a predefined condition.
-
Drill
The action of navigating through levels of data. When you drill up, you obtain more summarized or general information. By drilling down, you can reach more refined or detailed information.
-
Join
A relational operation that causes two tables with a common column to be combined into a single table. Designer supports equi-joins, theta joins, outer joins, and shortcut joins.
-
List of values
A list of values contains the data values associated with an object. These data values can originate from a corporate database, or a flat file such as a text file or Excel file. In Designer you create a list of values by running a query from the Query Panel. You can then view, edit, purge, refresh and even export this file. A list of values is stored as an .lov file in a subfolder of the UserDocs folder.
-
Measure object
An object that is derived from an aggregate function. It conveys numeric information by which a dimension object can be measured.
-
Offline mode
The work mode in which the designer works with universes stored locally.
-
Outer join
A join that links two tables, one of which has rows that do not match those in the common column of the other table.
-
Personal connection
A personal connection is used to access resources such as universes or documents. It can be used only by the user who created it. Information about a personal connection is stored in both the PDAC.LSI and PDAC.SSI files; its definition is static and cannot be modified.
-
Qualification
A property of an object that determines how it can be used in multidimensional analysis. An object can be qualified as one of three types: a dimension, detail or measure.
-
Query
In Designer a query is a technique for creating or modifying a list of values associated with an object. From the Query Panel, a designer builds a query from the classes, objects, and conditions of a universe. In the BusinessObjects User module, a query is a type of data provider. An end user builds a query from a universe, and then runs the query to generate a BusinessObjects report.
-
Quick Design
A wizard in the Designer module that provides guided instructions for creating a basic universe. It lets a designer name a universe, set up a connection to a database, select strategies, create classes and objects, as well as generate joins with cardinalities.
-
Secured connection
A secured connection is used to access universes or documents that may be restricted or confidential. It can be shared by several authorized users. Stored in the repository, the definition of a secured connection is updated dynamically.
-
Shared connection
A shared connection is used to access common resources such as universes or documents. It can be used by several users. Information about a shared connection is stored in a SDAC.LSI or SDAC.SSI file; its definition is updated dynamically.
-
Structure pane
The graphical component within the main Designer window that shows the schema of the universe. It reflects the underlying database structure of the universe.
-
Subclass
A component within a class that groups objects. A subclass can itself contain other subclasses or objects.
-
Universe domain
The area of the repository that holds exported universes. The universe domain makes it possible to store, distribute, and administrate universes. There may be multiple universe domains in a repository.
-
User object
An object created by the end user from the BusinessObjects User module. A user object can be inserted into a universe by the designer.
-
Workgroup mode
A work mode whereby a designer creates universes in an environment without a repository. The mode in which a universe is saved determines whether other designers are able to access it. By default, a universe is saved in the mode in which the designer is already working.
