Universe Documentor (Dwayne's plus a few extras)

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


SandiR :uk: (BOB member since 2004-12-20)

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.


Dave Rathbun :us: (BOB member since 2002-06-06)

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?


jdean1012 :us: (BOB member since 2007-06-26)

No - that definitely isn’t normal - it’s usually really quick


SandiR :uk: (BOB member since 2004-12-20)

I ran into the same issue Dave describes a long time ago. As a workaround, I changed the connection (locally only) to one that points to a non-existent server. The select statement still executes, but errors out immediately and the LOV information can be accessed as normal. Definitely annoying.

Hi all,

that is a good idea indeed. I will try the same. Thank you for sharing.

Kind regards,
Lucky

Oh, I missed the second part - shit

I am trying to run this against a UNV in BI 4.0 SP4 with no luck. I get the error message “Can’t find project or library”. It seems to be on the library designer. I don’t even get to the point of supplying what system I am looking at. Could it be my version of VB or Excel?

Thanks!

Hi All - I am looking documentation macro for Version: 14.0.2.v20110603-0364- nothing but BOXI4 or BO 4.0

:+1:

Thank you -


stsrin :us: (BOB member since 2005-07-21)

Hi,

There is none as there is no SDK so far in that BOBJ version.


Marek Chladny :slovakia: (BOB member since 2003-11-27)

Can you help me identifying the macro to find the class path of an object ?

Thank you.


rnola (BOB member since 2006-03-26)

So long as you change the references it should work OK for unv universes at BI4, however not for the unx universes.


SandiR :uk: (BOB member since 2004-12-20)

Awsome utility - thanks alot

“Failure in DocumentUniverse() VBO Project - 430: Class does not support Automation or does not suppot expect interface”.

I’m getting this in both versions and haven’t come across a solution.
Thoughts?
Using R3


2spots :us: (BOB member since 2008-07-29)

Any reason why the Instances should now be giving me a macro error? It used to work … i find it really very useful, and although it isnt critical, would be nice to have if anyone knows what i need to do???

Thank you in advance

Does anyone have a similar automated process for documenting Work Flows and such out of Data Services?


BOETL2012 (BOB member since 2012-08-27)

I downloaded this and clicked the Document Universe button. I get an error that says “Compile error: Can’t find project or library”.

I’m using Excel 13. I was expecting to be prompted for system and universe name, although I didn’t find instructions for how to use this utility.

Please advise.

Thanks.
