Updating OLAP Universe Automatically

[Former Member]

hi,

We have created Universes on the top of BEx queries. What happens in BEx query is that some of the column headers are getting updated every week. Beause of this everytime we have open the Universe refresh and export it back. This recurrent activity is very cumbersome. We are using BOXI 3.1.

So can we automatically refresh an OLAP Universe?

Thanks

Hi,

Not in the standard product no.

Probably possible using a bespoke SDK development approach

Thanks Henry.

The SDK name is "bespoke SDK" right?...Where can I search to get more details on this SDK part?

Hi,

bespoke mean 'customised to your personal requirements'

SDK is the development kit/kernel for extending the APIs used by our products.

start here on SDN, developer library http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary

this is purely for C or Java developers, custom-code is not supported nor maintained by SAP etc.

Hi,

We have developed such internal applications using XI 3.1 SDK.

These applications are doing batch update of multiple XI 3.1 OLAP universes.

As Henry said, these applications are not supported by the Product Group and can be used and modified without support.

Thanks Didier. We will try to explore the SDK option.
