Hi,

This will be possible in BI4.1:

Functions in single source universes are database specific, so you should check the vendor's documentation of the DB that you are using.

Hi,

We had Universe builder as a separate client tool for creating universes on below metadata sources in XI 3.1, but I think is missing in BI 4.0, since we have new tool as IDT and Universe builder being dropped off as tool.You can wait for BI 4.1 upgrade and use the new feature as Victor suggested or look for other alternatives of loading XML data to any of the Universe supported databases and creating Universe on it..

XML metadata sources:

  • Common Warehouse Model (CWM Relational 1.0)
  • Common Warehouse Model OLAP (CWM OLAP)
  • Oracle Warehouse Builder (Oracle WB)
  • Data Integrator
  • IBM DB2 Data Warehouse Center (IBM DB2 DWC)
  • IBM DB2 Cube Views

Thanks
