BusinessObjects Board

List Universe Names

Hello folks,
New to the board here. Its a very impressive repository of information. Now the question,
I have Business Objects and designer clients installed. Its version 5.x .
I am trying to get a list of all the universe names that reside in two containers. How can I get that information ?

Thanks.
Aj

Found a universe that starts with BO Audit…Those universes let you report on the repository.
Thanks.

I do not have this universe. How can i get it? i understand it is packaged with the auditor tool. I am not running webi, do i have to install webi and then the auditor tool for this to work?

This universe can help you.

If you have purchased Auditor, they’d give you the universe. Alternatively, you can build a universe on the Audit tables, if you have them
.

You’d have to be running the WebI server, have turned the audit log on – and either audit to database tables, or periodically load from the log files. The audit log can only capture activity that goes through the WebI server – WebI/Infoview activity, and three-tier/ZABO full client.

If you want to audit 2-tier full client, you’d have to purchase one of the third-party vendor tools.

If you are looking for list of universes only, you can get it by running a query against your repository database. This functionality is no longer in XI.

Your DBA should be able to give you a list of tables and on your install you would find a rpindex.htm and it list the details about it.
