Link between reports and universes

[Former Member]

Hi,

How to have automatically the link between Universes and Reports in a repository ?

Which universes are used and by which reports ?

I know where to get the information manually on the report but I don't how to get it automatically.

Is it possible to make a request on meta model ? Is there a tool provided ?

Your BOE auditing tool should provide you which WebI reports are using which Universe.

Is the tool available in XiR2 ?

Hi,

Try with Audit and Activity universes. I think one that will have infor related to reports.

Jerome,

You have to install Auditing (unless it was installed with the initial install, which it looks like for you it wasn't).

Locate the PDF "BusinessObjects Enterprise(tm) XI Release 2 Auditor's Guide" (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf).

You will find, among other things, that you will have to locate your software and go through another installing situation, but this time choosing to only add the missing piece (Auditor) -- best to read through the PDF first to get a handle on everthing you need to set up. Also know that DeskI activity is not captured, just WebI (Infoview, modify report, etc).

Thanks,

John
