Recover Universe if BOE server gone

building semantic layer
#1

I have the .unv file for a universe, however the the BOE machine that had the universe is gone and unrecoverable (it was a VM on a server and it got erased) :shock:

IT can (and has) created a new image with the exact same machine / BOE name, but that obviously isn’t enough.

I can’t attach the error (the infamous FRM 00008), but the apporpraite text is

Details: The universe could not be found in the CMS Possible causes include
1: The universe may have been deleted form the CMS

It was not saved for all users (though I am logging on as the same user / password), and I don’t have a BIAR file or anything (again, the boe machine is GONE)

Is the ANYTHING I can do besides redo the universe from scratch? :cry:

Would creating a new Universe on the CMS with the same name help?

Any help appreciated

I had to jump through a few more hoops (I had to import as well), but I got it back!

Thanks for saving me 2+ weeks of work! :smiley:
