If I have a report that queries universe x and I change the actual database that universe x is pointing, by changing the connection (eg from <qa_connection>, to <pro_connection>), does it all ‘just work’? Or is there some kind of re-association action required.

It will work if new database is replica of old database but just perform complete integirty check of universe to ensure that all the objects get parsed properly and rest of the things are also fine.

Hi,
I think we should to point the new Universe also , if you already have any reports based on previous universe.
Thanks

BOCP,
Universe is the same so no need to repoint the reports. Only connection will be changed. You need to repoint the reports if you are creating copy of universe in some other folder that means universe location is changed but if you only changing the universe connection, rest is fine.

Hi Prashant,
Thanks for your help , I’m also aware of it.
Actually i read it as Univ X is changed to Univ-Y , so i posted like that.
Now I saw and catch it.
Thanks
