In case of corrupted universe - keeping object integrity

Hi,

I have a problem with my universe, described here:
Missing join in WebI

I’ve discovered that I only have this problem in one of my universes (it is very large) and have tested different things to see if I can get it to work. If I delete “half” of the universe, I still get the problem. The only thing I have been able to do to “fix” the problem is to create a new universe, and copy the contents of the old universe to the new one. When I export this and create a report, my problem no longer occurs. So it would seem like the universe is somehow corrupted?

But by copying the content from the old universe to a new, blank one, I would get new identifiers for my objects, right? So I wouldn’t be able to use the old reports on the new universe? Which would be a huge problem for all our clients. Any thought to what can be done to save my universe?
