Creating a Universe: A step by step tutorial
Business Objects products are Number One in Reporting, Data Warehousing, and ETL Categories.
BusinessObjects 6.0 is used as an OLAP tool and a reporting tool. Here we will learn how to use this
product for creating a universe.

Universe

Universes present the information stored in your company’s databases in a very organized manner. They
allow access to this information,without the user having to be an expert in relational database structure.
Universes are the most popular and versatile methods of retrieving data for a document. The use of
universes is what makes Business Objects truly powerful and easy to use.

A universe contains no data itself. However, it stores the instructions on how to retrieve data from some
data source, such as a database.Universes are simply computer files that are stored in a repository. A
repository is a database that stores, among other things, the universe definitions. When you select a
universe from the list, Business Objects will copy the universe file from the repository to your local hard
drive. Once the universe file is copied onto the hard drive, Business Objects will use this file to create
the SQL instructions to retrieve the information for your reports. The next time the same universe is
used to create a report, Business Objects will check the repository to see if the latest version of the
universe is on your computer. If the latest version is not on your computer Business Objects will copy
the latest version from the repository.

We will now see how to create a universe from the SQL server database - Northwind.
