Do I need to continue to create universes on SAP BEx queries?

Answer Posted / madhu

No, you do not need to build a universe to access SAP Netweaver BW. Prior to BI 4.0, the only way to access SAP Netweaver BW was by creating an OLAP universe that in effect flattened the OLAP cube structure into a set of tables. With BI 4.0, you can now directly access SAP Netweaver BW by selecting an existing SAP BEx query from a catalog of SAP BEx queries and then perform advanced data analysis and hierarchical member selection within the SAP BusinessObjects query and analysis tools such as SAP Business Objects Web Intelligence, SAP Crystal Reports Enterprise and SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards. The access method is not SQL or MDX, but SAP’s BICS interface.
