Question about Universe Acquisition in SAP Lumira

[Former Member]

What version is going to support Universe Acquisition?  We are currently on version 1.15 but "the data acquisition of medium-large, large, and very large datasets from UNV or UNX universes is not supported on default installations of both SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platforms 4.0 and 4.1."  Is there any plan to bring back support for very large datasets from UNV or UNX universes?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Universe acquisition is supported, with the following restriction:

" The data acquisition of medium-large, large, and very large datasets from UNV or UNX universes is not supported on default installations of both SAP BusinessObjects Business
Intelligence platforms 4.0 and 4.1.

It is recommended for customers that want to acquire such datasets to install a SAP BusinessObjects
Business Intelligence platform (SAP BIP) server dedicated to SAP Lumira and
significantly increase the value of the Maximum Character Stream Size of the
Web Intelligence Processing Server on that particular server. Note that
increasing this value on a running SAP BIP server can impact the memory
consumption and performance of any BI clients tool running on that
installation, particularly Web Intelligence. While this practice is not
formally discouraged, we advise customers implementing this solution that they
might face memory consumption increases and longer document data refreshes so
they will need to monitor the SAP BIP server's behavior adequately to control
the impacts."

As you can see per the restriction, a method is suggested to be able to acquire datasets with more volume from the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform.

About improvement as part of future versions, I have no clues.

Thanks

Antoine
