Hi,

We have been newly migrated to BO XI R2 from BO 6.5 & now I want to update multiple objects of my Universe. previously we used to do this using a package called “Mass update of Objects in Universe” but now when I am trying to access the same macro for BO XI R2 universe it is giving me error “Missing: Business Objects Designer 6.5 Object Library”.

Do we have any provision for doing the same in BO XI R2, Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Jagyasi

You need to point to the XI Object library.
Check the macro Here designed by Dwayne Hoffpauir for Designer XI version in BOB downloads

I think this is simply a case of adding a reference to a new DLL.

Do this; When the report runs and crashes
Select Debug
Stop Debug
Select Tools->references

You will see a dialog box listing available references, the first few will have a tick/check mark against them.

Move down the list until you come to the first list Business Objects reference, which should be

Business Objects CIVcommands 11.5 Type library

put a tick/check mark against this

Click OK
Click File Save
Click File Return

No doubt Dwayne will chime in if I’m not 100%

I’ve had this happen to me before, do as Paul instructed and you should be good to go… :slight_smile:

FYI, topics in BOB’s Downloads will often have a link to a discussion topic related to that item. That way if / when you have a question you can get to the dedicated topic for supporting that item.

It can save some time. :wink:

OK, you were 99% correct (smile). There are some syntax differences because of the underlying architecture differences. The .Logon syntax is different, and you reference folders, not domains. I think only the .Logon syntax affected this utility, but in any case there is an XI version in the same BOBs Download topic (as haider referenced in his post).
