For the sake of explaining this question suppose that:
I have a Business Object Universe called UniverseA which has Reports UAReport1, UAReport2. I also have Business Object Univierse called UniverseB which has Reports UBReport1, UBReport2. Can I create a Universe called UniverseC by combining UniverseA and UniverseB. I also want to migrate all the reports to UniverseC. A migration diagram might look like:
I would like to do this without great amounts rework. I believe the biggest concern might be the object ID’s may transition while making UniverseC, but the existing reports won’t know the object ID’s.
Any Ideas.

You should be able to do this without a great amount of work by doing the following:
Create UniverseC by copying and pasting the structures and the classes/objects from UniverseA and UniverseB. Save the universe. Then, for each report:
Go to the Data Manager (Data/View/Definition) and hit the “…” button next to the “Universe” box to browse and select UniverseC. 3. Refresh the report by going to the Query Panel and hitting the “Run” button. (DO NOT use the “Refresh” command from the toolbar.) Save the report.
That’s it!
You are right, the object IDs will shift from UniverseA/B to UniverseC. However, when you move the existing reports to UniverseC, they will look for and synchronize themselves with the “new” objects by name.
