While opening the designer,a BO patents page appear which 
shows the version of BO

start-->all programs-->he re it shows the Boname with the

for example for BO Xir2 it shows BusinessObjects XI release

A correlated subquery is a SELECT statement nested inside 
another T-SQL statement, which contains a reference to one 
or more columns in the outer query. Therefore, the 
correlated subquery can be said to be dependent on the 
outer query. This is the main difference between a 
correlated subquery and just a plain subquery. A plain 
subquery is not dependent on the outer query, can be run 
independently of the outer query, and will return a result 
set. A correlated subquery, since it is dependent on the 
outer query will return a syntax errors if it is run by 
itself.

It is a numeric data.

Measure Object convey numeric information which is used to 
quantify a dimension object. A measure object returns 
numeric information. 

You can create a measure object by using aggregate 
functions such as,
1)Sum
2)Count
3)Average
4)Minimum
5)Maximum

Measure objects retrieve numeric data, or data that is the 
result of calculations on data in the database. 
For example: No. of students in the Students Universe.

It can be derived fro the Aggregate function.it convay the 
numeric information by Dimesion object can be meassured

To hide & display the data.

Local Filter is to single block to which it is created, but 
a global filter is to all the blocks which consists of that 
column

a report can contain more than one block...same way
a document can contain more than one report.....
so if we see one report we have some blocks....
applying a report filter to only one block is local filter..
applying a report filter to all blocks is global filter...
in any report.

Global Filter will affect whole Report But local filter 
will affect selected both only.

The Report Performance can be improved by the following 
performance Requirements :
1- The Report should open within 10-15 Minutes 
2- The data should be available within 24 hours For 
Example - If there is some data error , it has to be taken 
in ETL ( Extraction , Transformation , Loading ). When the 
mapping got refreshed , the data should be fetched into the 
Reports within 24 hours

As part of universe parameters increase the array fetch 
size and try to use aggregate awareness.

By using drill down functionality additional components 
will be added in HTML Tag.

You can link thru Hyperlink option

drill-down means analysing the in different levels going to 
the down let us eg as year--->quarter,quarte---> month and 
so on
drill-up means analysing the in different levels going to 
the up let us eg as month--->quarter,quarte---> year  and 
so on

If i am not wrong u can't create universe from a flat file 
but u can generate a report from a flat file. 
choose "personal data files" in the new report wizard 
instead of univese and input the file information.

we test universes by using integrity check .
or we can indivedually test loops,contexs,aliases.

not known

Integrity Check is the option through  which one can test
the universse in BO.

A Universe is a business-oriented mapping of the data 
structure found in databases: tables, columns, joins, etc.
  A Universe is a semantic layer between Database and end 
users.
   A Universe can represent any specific application, 
system, or group of users. For example, a universe can 
relate to a department in a company such as marketing or 
accounting.
   A Universe can also pertain to a section within a 
department or just about any set of organized procedures 
such as a payroll or inventory system. 
A Universe consists of a set of objects, grouped by classes.

Steps to be taken care to create :

Prepare : Know the data source

Analyze :Identify the needs of the end user population

Plan : Design the universe(s)

Implement : Create the universe(s)

Test  : Using a test team (including end users)

Deploy  : Distribute the universe to end users

Evolve : Adapt and extend universe over time

A PRAGMA statement appears in a PL/SQL block. It is not an 
executable statement, but it provides instructions to the 
compiler.

By changing the Logical Size of the "specific" table. After 
changing table size, you need to update schema.

if it is required for metric to calculate from a particular 
table in report, you can try changing the "level"  in the 
merics.
 or by using relationship filter also can direct to a 
particular table ,based on the requirement.

modifying the logical table size is a good idea, but it can 
affect all reports which depends on the attributes defined 
on the same table.
