Is there any automation available at this point of time to take care of the Universe or underlying datasource changes dynamically

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have set of dashboards that were built on top of Universe. If there were any changes made at the data model/data base level, like change in the formula or addition/deletion of measures then we have to manually regenerate or refresh the universe.

Is there any automation available at this point of time to take care of the underlying datasources changes dynamically?

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,

Prasad.

Hi Mahendra,

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib

You will have DashboardsUpdater.jar file

Go to command line and navigate to the folder lib
Run the command java -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib\DashboardsUpdater.jar"

Check the below link for more details :

Hope this helps.

This is one feature which is unavailable at this moment in IDT as IDT does not understand the new field name if the table field is changed. But if the table name and field name is still the same it does not really need you to refresh structure of a universe and all the field should work as is. But if the field name or table name or schema name changes there is no way other than going into idt and refreshing structure manually to get the universe objects point to the right fields and tables

Hi Durga,

Thanks for your update.

Will any SDK modifications make this possible?

Thanks,
