We are trying to create a universe in Business Objects that includes an RMS
file. The universe has a connection to an Rdb database. Has anyone
successfully integrated Rdb tables and RMS files into the same BO universe?
Unless I am misunderstanding you question, I don’t think this is possible.
A universe can only attach to a single data source. If the universe
connects to an Rdb database, it cannot access an RMS file. Some databases
have some clever ways of including outside structures in views or linked
tables. The bottom line is this: If you can write SQL code to read in Rdb
data and RMS data in single statement, you can include the RMS data in your
universe. It seems to me that you need some sort of gateway to allow Rdb to
access the RMS file.
