Hi Dave

I have just double checked the util with the universe in question and the problem was in the universe after all (again, something not picked up by the integrity check process - invalid month/state on a date object).

So no changes required to the spreadsheet.

Cheers, Sandi

Hi Dave - did this ever get uploaded?

A few folk have contacted me over the last few months and I have emailed it out.

I liked this document…so I’m looking forward to the day this documenter is available for R3.1

I have been usin BOXI Universe Documentor V4 with great success. However due to a company policy I had to upgrade my pc to windows 7 with MS Offcie 2010. Now I am getting the error message “Failure in DocumentUniverse() VBO Project - 430: Class does not support Automation or does not suppot expect interface”. Is there a fix for this? Will this program run in MS Excel 2010? I hope so. If it is not possible, is there another way I can document a universe. The BOE that I am connecting to is XI\R2.

Ran this on an XI3.1 Universe and it worked. Saved me a shed load of work!

Thanks.

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has looked into whether it would be possible to document the unx files at XI4?

Cheers,
Sandi

Hi,

There is no SDK in BO 4.0, so very likely the answer is no, it’s not possible.

The .UNV files should be usable in the same way that 3.1 and earlier versions were. The .UNX files created by the IDT will not be exposed in the same way.

Cheers Dave/Malek
I suspected as much.
Sushir’s Repository Documentor seems to have issues with unx files and connections at XI4 too :frowning:

Hi Sandi,

can you please explain: why is it neccessary to execute the SELECT statement for every object (lov) in the universe? I cannot see any benefit from this (except creating lots of traffic on the database).

Kind regards,
Lucky_me

Hi lucky
I didn’t realise that it actually executed the query.
I am currently working solely with unix files so am not in a position to look at this for a while.
But by all means you can have a play with the vb yourself.
Cheers
Sandi

#25

It’s not a choice. I have seen the same behavior. When touching certain aspects of the LOV definition via the SDK, the query executes. I don’t know why, and there’s no way to turn it off.

Cheers for that Dave

This is a really good tool, but when I ran it, it was taking like 60 seconds per object for a universe with thousands of objects. Is this normal?
