There are a few new terms that may jump out as you are reading this, but
in case you have not noticed them, lets take a minute to list those terms
out:
Step 1: Open the Information Design Tool. The new interface screen will
be displayed.
NOTE All created resources will be labeled as
TestProject[resourceType], i.e. TestProjectConn for Test Project
Connection.
Step 4: Select the proper Database Middleware driver and configure the
connection. The tool comes equipped with several DB driver connections
with a default installation.
Note You must have proper privilege to the schema you are accessing.
Also, an ODBC or OLE DB connection must already be established to
function properly.
Multisource-Enabled
You can add connections when you create the data foundation and
anytime later.
Step 8: Choose the Tables to Insert. You also have an option to insert
Derived Tables and Views as well.
Note Joins to objects in the Data Foundation can either be detected or
manually inserted.
Step 10: Select the Data Foundation that you would like to use as the
basis for the business layer. The tool also provides the option to
automatically create classes and objects based on the Data Foundation
Layer.
Step 11: Publish the Universe to the Repository. Right-click the Business
Layer and choose the Publish->To a Repository option. This will save the
Universe as a .UNX file.
Note Ensure the Connection for the corresponding Data Foundation is a
Secure Connection.
Step 12: Execute a Universe Integrity Check and ensure critical errors
are resolved.
You can verify that the Universe is available by logging into Interactive
Analysis and creating a new document.
