repoint all docs to new universe?

XI 3.1 SP2/FP1.8

Currently, all reporting is based off a linked universe (2) structure. I have created a new universe (unlinked). Is it possible to globally repoint all my docs (corp, personal or both) to this new universe?

Are you talking about deski and/or webi documents?

Should be a tricky thing …

You can query the CMS to have the list of all the reports using this universe.

Then you should be able to reassign the universe using sdk …

Hey Sebastien!

Thanks for the reply… Yeah, bit tricky if at all possible. There is only one universe here - HR perspective. Was previously a “linked” universe, taking it to a single universe, however, concern is repointing all the docs - both webi, deski.

Although it’s not “that difficult” the concern is it will upset the users to have to do this… some manual effort, but sometimes we do have do actually work at times!

Therefore, if there is a way to — humm… wonder if you can assgin an object a manual CUID? That way I could assign the previous universe cuid and the reports might stay mapped??

Where can I find details on the SDK to repoint?

I thought this may help you, unfortunately I don’t think it will work with linked universes…
