Automatic activation of universe through programming in BOBJ Java SDK

[Former Member]

Hello all,

This is to inform you that we are working upon a scenario of activating modified universes through programming in BOBJ Java SDK.

We have built an universe which is based out of a table in SAP HANA and this table is subjected to structure changes(new fields will be added frequently).

I would like to know if there is a possibility to restructure the universe without manual intervention and incorporating the changes in the table structure into the universe(for instance, adding the new fields without manually adding them in the universe).

If the functionality is not available directly, can we achieve this using customization done through Java SDK?

Best Regards,

Hello,

We got BOBJ 4.0 SP6 and the entire is completely new and hence we have opted for .unx universe.

Kindly let me know if you need anything more.

Hi Ram,

The requirement which you have cannot be currently addressed using the java sdks.

For .unx universes, there is Semantic Layer Java SDKs, however for BI 4.0 version it is with limited functionality.

Please refer to the developer guide and api referrence avialble at below link to understand the functionalities it provide for the version.

New features were added in the release BI 4.1. In BI 4.1 you would have the possibility to achieve your needs using the semantic layer sdks.

Please refer to the developers guide for BI 4.1 available at below link to understand what all features it supports.
