Steps in creating BO universe

Remember the following steps while creating the universe in SAP Business Objects.

1. Create the connection -- usually it has to be secured type to export it to repository.
2. Import the tables / views into the universe (identify the set of tables u needed)
3. Identify the joins and establish the same.
4. See if there is a loop issue, if so see if you can avoid the same by creating an alias or context
5. Check if the chasm trap issue may occur, if so create the context
6. See if there is any fan trap issue, if so create either alias or derived table and create the context
7. Create the classes
8. Visualize the objects in each class, based on the hierarchy create the objects with in each class
9. Make sure you have the right object type (Dimension or Detail or Measure object)
10. Check the integrity constraint
11. If there are no errors, save the universe file.
12. Export the universe to repository.
