Balaji,

    You can convert NON-BW OLAP UNV to UNX without any issues.  In BI 4.1 it is very strongly recommend that you use BICS connection when for a major performance increase.  The XI 3.x OLAP UNV use the MDX engine which is much slower. 

Summary:

You can convert ALL NON-BW OLAP UNV to UNX but BW you should re-point report from UNV to BICS connection.

Regards,

Ajay

Hopefully that clarifies your question further.

Hi Henry / Ravi /Ajay ,

Thanks all your valuable Answers ,

As per the above document (shard by Ravi Shankar )

we can not convert the NON SAP OLAP (BOXI3.1) universe from .UNV to .UNX

After migrating universes (UNV) from BOXI 3.1 it to BI4.1 and we can convert in to UNX

Hi Balaji,

The conversion of the XI3.1 SAP OLAP UNV universe to BI4.0 OLAP UNX universe is not

supported. XI3.1 SAP OLAP UNV universe can be upgraded with BI4.0 Upgrade Manager to

BI4.0 and used the same way it is used in XI3.1. The users of BI4.0 have additionally option to

reuse SAP BEx query (used to create XI3.1 SAP OLAP universe) with BICS connection in BI4.0 WebIntelligence to access the same SAP BW data

Please refer the link below @ page number 13
