Copy Data Providers / Copy Report Variables

I used the addin provided in BOBs downloads to copy data providers in BO 5.1.8.

I get a message saying

Multiple Universe.Please select repository.

Can someone help me in this regard.

Is this a limitation of BO 5.1.8.

Regards

That means you have more than one universe locally with the same name. This usually happens when someone has done a “save as…” and made a copy locally, that has not been exported to a repository. Delete (or rename) the duplicate and you should be fine.

I install this ADDINS … can you tell me how can I use it?
I receive this error :
“Error 20 : No Universe with this Name and Repository”

Thanks.

What version of DeskI / Reporter and what version of the utility are you using?


Dwayne Hoffpauir :us: (BOB member since 2002-09-19)

I have installed the the updated XI version. I am on Deski R3, the addin has been registered in Deski, but copying Data-providers throws the following error:


Error 31: Not Implemented

then the next error comes up


Run-time error 91:
Object Variable or With block variable not set

I can’t get the add-in to load automatically in 3.x, but otherwise than that it seems to work fine. Try disabling the error handling, or step through the code one line at a time to see which line is actually causing the error. That may give us a clue to the real problem.


Dwayne Hoffpauir :us: (BOB member since 2002-09-19)

This is where the debugger starts:

'DataProviderFrom.Unload (version 5.1.8 only allows one data provider to be loaded!
    DataProviderTo.Unload

Disabling the error handling on this sub means the list of dataproviders gets duplicated with every attempt. No successful copies. The Variables seem to be OK.

DeskI 11.5.0.0
BusObj Utilities XI.zip

Just a theory here. The universe must be downloaded locally first. Try downloading a clean copy, just to be sure it has the right repository security attached to it.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
This is the best thing ever! It just saved me hours of work. :smiley:
I love BOB!

The result doesn’t change.

Ghostman,

Did you ever get a solution to your problem with using the Copy Data Providers routine (BusObj Utilities) - I also get the Error 31: Not Implemented with the “Run-time error `91:Object Variable or With block variable not set”!

I’m using BO XI R2

Emailed Dwaye Hoffpauir but have not yet received response.

I’m trying to copy a variable from one report to another (using XI R2, have used this utility successfully before) and am getting
Run-time error “9”
Subscript out of range.

Can you help?
Thanks!

hi,

finally I could make it to get copy Dataproviders and variables in Data menu and able to select dataproviders in source and destination.

but when i am checking my destination report, I don’t see the data provider which i have added from source report.

I think I am missing something here.

Can anyone help me please.

Hi All,
When I tried to use “copy data provider” utility ,I am facing an issue saying “Error:20 No Universe with this name and repository” in BO XI (Version: 12.3.0.601).

I know I need to tweak the code a bit but have no idea as to how I should open the .rea file (VB ?? ) , where to put in the changes and what are the changes .I have already imported my universe (“Valuation”) into the local folder “Universes”.
Should I change the repository name too (as I am using local universe) ?.

Help Please.Thanks a lot in advance.
