Hi Experts,

I would like to know the Best Practices for Creating Universe on top of SAP BW.

1. is it advisable to create Universe on top of SAP BW CUBE directly. in my case , we are starting a fresh BW implementation for one application on SAP BI.7 ; and BOE 3.1

2. if we create a universe on top of BEX Query, what need to be done if want to upgrade to Business Objects 4.0 version.

3. if we create a universe on BEX Query, will SAP is going to support universe on BEX for future releases.

4. what is the support period for BEX and its integration with Business objects.

Thanks

Bhnau.

Hi,

1. is it advisable to create Universe on top of SAP BW CUBE directly. in my case , we are starting a fresh BW implementation for one application on SAP BI.7 ; and BOE 3.1

First go through by below link.This guide describe how you can create universe based on Cube and Query and what features are available via Cube and Query.

http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf

You can check on the Page 12 in the PDF what supported by Cube and BW Query while designing of a universe.

Best practices says to design universe on top of one generic query for one Cube because CFK,RFK can not generate in the universe on top of BW Cube.

2. if we create a universe on top of BEX Query, what need to be done if want to upgrade to Business Objects 4.0 version.

check below links.

Amit,

This isn't what SAP suggest - they recommend working over queries. Please can you explain why you recommend working directly over cubes instead?

Hi Map,

I think there is some confusion.

My answer in last post was started with :
