Reporting between two different domains.

security Supervisor (4.x - 6.x)

Hi,

I have two universes which are in different security domains, there is a requirement to create a report accessing both these universes, Is it possible do that??. If no, then is there a work-around ?

Thanks in advance,
Satish.

Have you tried copying one of the universes to the other repository? I believe that’s the only workaround.

To access any objects from a security domain, you have to logon to that security domain. And you can create only one session in BO at a time. So theoritically you cannot that. But, by downloading the universes to local file system and removing the security attached with the universes, u can do that. You will not have any security in that.

Otherwise the only way is copying the universe to other sec domain.

Full client : No problem
I believe it simply a matter of running a new query from a different universe (you may have to link a few objects together in the different data providers in order to combine results in a single “spreadsheet/graph”)

Webi : No chance
If anybody has a work around, I’d be interested, can you create a new universe detailing the tables you want to combine ?
