BO 4.0 UNV to UNX Conversion


So, now you have BO 4.0 in the environment, and want to have all your universes converted to UNX… how do you do it…
1.       Run ‘Information Design Tool’

2.       Open Session to your CMS Repository
This is to make sure that you have the connection you would like to use.

3.       Create a new Project

4.       Provide a logical name and location
This will be the placeholder for the new Data Foundation and Business View Layer

5.       Now the fun starts. From File menu select ‘Convert .unv Universe’

6.       You can select a universe file from your desktop or get it from the repository. To get a universe from the repository, select the server button.

7.       Once you connect to the repository, you can select a universe. We would work with the classic eFashion universe.

8.       Once you select the universe to convert, select the ‘destination repository folder’ and ‘local project folder’. In this case we have the destination the same as source. If you are planning to save locally, you would be able to save the new unx file for all users.

9.       Click OK, and the engine starts. The time taken to convert a universe is dependent on the size of the universe.

10.   And the universe is now converted to unx.

11.   After a few clicks of ’close’ and ‘ok’, you will have the eFashion universe in unx format.

12.   And that is it…

13.   Based on the selection of converting @prompts earlier, you may have additional LOV listed in the Business View layer

14.   Happy IDTing…
