Hi experts in BOBJ

With IDT, is there a way to use an external metadata file instead
to describe classes and objects?

How do you mean?

Like the bulk update to names and descriptions file that can be used on XI3 universes?

There is no SDK available for IDT for v4.0 but it may be available in 4.1, in which case someone will probably get one up and running.

Hi John,

You can create a XML based universe which is only supported with UDT and not IDT.  In IDT the feature is no longer supported..

So may be something which you can try out is create a UNV using XML and then use IDT to convert the UNV to a IDT compatible UNX.

Have you got any chance to check using Semantic layer SDK for your requirement. have a look here https://help.sap.com/javadocs/bip/40/slsdk/en/index.html You may required to use com.sap.sl.sdk.authoring.businesslayer & com.sap.sl.sdk.authoring.datafoundation packages.

Thanks Manikandan. You're right it is an option, but will take me lots time coding....so the effort is not worthy. I needed a presentation ...like in few hours.
