Step 1: Login to BO universe Designer

Step 2: Universe Designer Home Page with quick welcome wizard.

Step 3 : Instead of following with Quick wizard, will create the universe by normal method. Click New universe button or go to File—New. Universe Parameters screen will open.

Step 4: Provide proper universe (your project name) and this is not an universe file name. Also add proper description to find out what is the reason / use of this universe build along with when the universe created and version of the universe and then select the universe connection (universe connection can be created in CMC by administrator) in definition tab. Click OK.

Step 5: Universe Structure & universe window without tables & classes.

Step 6 : Go to Insert – Tables or double click in the universe structure to open table browser.

Step 7: Select the required tables in table browser and click Insert / drag those tables into universe structure.

Step 8: Once the required tables are inserted, please create a join between the tables and define the cardinality

Joins created between fact & dimension tables and cardinality defined "One to Many" between Dimension & fact tables.

Step 9: We need to verify is there any loop occurred in our structure by clicking Detect loop option. Since we are having very less tables and joins, by look itself we can find there is no loop in our universe structure. Click the Detect loop option and you will get message saying "no Loops detected".

Step 10 : Create Classes & objects based on your requirement. To have better understanding and clarity, please create facts & dimension objects by separate classes and it would help user / developer to analyze the reports faster and with more clarity.

While creating classes & objects, you must follow some standards of classes & object creation.

Step 11: Save the universe by clicking the option and give proper universe file and same will be stored in your repository. Once the universe is saved, please export the universe into repository fro report creation.
