exporting LOV

when exporting a universe to the repository, only a fraction of my custom LOVs
is exported and placed in the new folder in
BO\UserDocs\Universe. Most of the LOVs, however, remain in the initial folder
and are not exported to the universe, although Designer tells me that the
universe was successfully exported… The exported LOVs are always the same
ones.

Yes, I’ve got the option ‘Export with universe’ selected for all LOVs, and yes,
I already did a ‘save as’ and exported the new universe – all of this to no
avail.

Opening a .lov file with note pad shows that 4 universe names are stored inside
(?), so I thought that only the ones that really belonged to the universe being
exported would be exported. However, the ‘save as’ option should have dealt
with that.

Any idea why BO refuses to export some of my custom LOVs ?

thanks,

We had that problem as well. What version do you have? This export problem
is solved(for right now) if you use
Business Object 4.1.3 with CSP25 or just upgrade to version 4.1.4. This
only prevents future export problems.
For your current problems, you should start with a clean universe by
removing both universe and it’s lov’s from the its local directories and
re-import the universe. You will then have to re-create any lov’s which did
not get imported. Hopefully, this lov recreating is just a one time
exercise.
