We have just installed BO 4.1.3 which is running against the repository stored on Oracle. When we did import an universe we did receive the following error message " Could not retrieve columns of universe tables. The asscociated universe connection is not valid". Although we received this message, the import process ended successfully, according to the BO pop-up screen.
Has anyone of you already experienced this message ?
The error can occur because of the following reasons: 1) If you are using the advanced login strategy in Business Objects
and if the Designer User id and password are not in sync with the database then you get the error.
2) In the oracle.prm file, you need to modify the value of owner to
N.
3) The database userid is valid
4) Make sure when you defined the connection you used the right
version of the middleware or the database version. Dilip
