FRM 00008 error when importing universe

building semantic layer
1

Everyone,

I have a universe that was created in 6.5. I changed the connection to shared, saved it for all users, and then opened the universe in XI Release 1.

Once opened, I changed the connection to secured and exported to my CMS. In fact, I have re-exported the universe several times today as I have made a few minor tweaks to objects.

I have verified that the universe is in the CMS. I am able to create queries against it with Webi without any problems.

Now, when I try to open the universe or re-import the universe, I receive the follow message:

You are not authorized to use this document (FRM 00008)

Details: The universe could not be found in the Central Management Server. Possible causes include:

  1. The universe may have been deleted from the CMS
  2. You may not have access rights to view the universe
  3. The CMS may be unavailable

:hb:

I did verify that the universe has not been deleted from the CMS. As I said earlier, I can create queries without any problems. I verified my rights in CMS and see that I have full control over the universe. I know the CMS is available or I would have a lot of angry clients screaming at me.

I still have my original 6.5 version that I could re-import into XI. But, I will then lose my tweaks that I made this morning.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Did you try to save the universe using “save for all users”. and then export it.

You can not save a universe with “Save for all users” with a secured connection and you can not export a universe into the repository unless you have a secured connection.

So is there really no way around - if you only have the .unv files ?

What about using hex editer ?

…just looking with notepad shows:

a VERSION Þ
Version 551.4 " Process Universe for VPE 5.5 SP1.4 ‘Version 551.4’ OBJEC1F8f"

…does this make any sence ?

What I have to do is export the universe into 6.5. Then, I use the import wizard to migrate the universe over to my XI environment.

The only reason that I was creating the universe in 6.5 is that I could make my changes and then see the impact of the changes in Full Client before I exported the universe into the repository.

Once we move to R2, I will be able to see my changes without exporting the universe since R2 has the Desktop Intelligence product.

This means that there is no way I can open an old .unv file from another persons computer ?
(without using export or save as “for all users” )

Talked to BO.

Only way around is
Use BO 6.5.1…
Start Designer
Login as superuser

…u should be able to open the .unv files now. :wink:

But the person which created, or holds the .unv files must use the option “save for all users”.
