We are working with Business Objects 5.0 and WEBI 2.5 - we make a change to the universe - export, when we go into WEBI and create a document the changes we made in Designer 5.0 are not there? We did a refresh.
Can you go to your WebI server and make sure it has the latest copy of the universe?

I’ve noticed that sometimes the universes don’t refresh until you actually run a query. After making a change in the universe, I will go to “create” within WebI and run a quick query on that universe. Then I click on “create” again, hit refresh, and voila - the universe will show the latest change date.
Julie is right. Check the universe on the server. I have documented a case where the Broadcast Agent was having problems getting universe updates because it could not perform the import process. The work around was to manually delete the existing universe on the server then the import worked fine and the report worked after that.
I’m fairly certain the same could happen with the WEBI product on the same server.

That makes sense. When you use BO full client, you are using the universe structure that is local to your PC. When you use WebI, you are using the universe structure that is local to the WebI Server. They may both be refreshed differently.

I’m not certain, but I only experience a lag in universe refresh when using WebI - not BO.
Have you renamed some table in your universe and exported it after that ? Once you do that the latest universe is there in the repository and BO is supposed to take care of corresponding changes in the copy of universe residing on WebI/DocAgent server ,anytime a new report is created in WebI or a new job runs in DocAgent .Unfortunately its not the case always .You can try deleting the old existing copy of universe from WebI server and creating a new document on the same universe thru WebI ;then it should forcibly import the latest universe .
Thanks,

Have you tried “Edit Data Provider” and then clicking Run. That should pick up the universe changes.
