[BO v 5.1.9] Where are physically stored the univers file ?

Hi all

Sorry for this old-school question :wink: but… where are physically stored, in legacy v5.x univers files. I was sure that univers files (.unv) where stored, (like reports in the OBJ_X_DOCUMENTS table) as BLOB content but i can’t find other column in the other table of the repostry having BLOB type and the documentation say the OBJ_X_DOCUMENTS only contains reports (.rep files) and lov)

So where are physically stored the unv files in a v5 deployment (not having Web Intelligence server also) ?? :hb:

Thank you in advance

Bernard

They aren’t stored as binary data when they’re in the repository.

There are a bunch of related tables, all prefixed with “UNV_” that contain the universe metadata. When needed by server or client, the metadata is compiled into a .unv file, which is then cached locally.
