I am on BO XI R2. Is there anyway to find if there are any exisiting universes based on a existing connection ?
I have to create some report on a database, and I know the connection to the DB already exists in Universe. But how can I figure which universe might already be using the connection?
We have lot of universes, and going and checking each Uni connection is not feasible.
Open the utility in Excel. Open VBA Editor (Alt+F11). Go to menu Tools --> References. Here are listed all referenced libraries. In the first post of the topic where the utility is attached, there is a list of libraries that need to be included:
Crystal Enterprise Framework Library 11.5
Crystal Enterprise InfoStore Library 11.5
Crystal Enterprise Connection PlugIn 11.5
I dont have Crystal or BO installed on my machine. Its on a shared server, but that server does not have MS Office installed on it.
How could I use the utility then?
Would I not have the libraries if I dont have Crystal installed on local?
Exactly. You need to have both (BO as well as MS Office) installed on a one machine - either on your local machine or on the server - so the utility can run.
