Introduction to Information Design Tool
Information Design Tool has been launched from SAP BO 4.0 and is a part of Client Tools in SAP
BO 4.1.
The information design tool is an SAP BusinessObjects metadata design environment that enables
a designer to extract, define, and manipulate metadata from relational and OLAP sources to create
and deploy SAP BusinessObjects universes.

Starting Information Design Tool
The information design tool is installed with the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence
platform Client Tools Once the client tools are installed on your machine, for example in a Windows
Server 2008 installation of the BI platform, you can start the information design tool with the
command: Start > All programs >SAP BusinessIntelligence > SAP BusinessObjects BI
platform 4 Client Tools > Information Design Tool.

No authentication is required to use the information design tool in offline mode (not connected to a
repository). You can begin creating and editing local resources.
Note:
When you double-click a resource file in the local file system (for example a .blx, .dfx, or .cnx file),
the information design tool opens without opening the specific resource editor. You must open the
editor from the Local Projects View.

Creating Universe using Information Design Tool
Before you begin:
 Make sure the middleware drivers are configured for the data sources to which you want to
connect.
 Make sure you have the appropriate rights defined in the Central Management Console
(CMC).
 Decide if the data foundation type should be single-source or multisource-enabled.
The type and number of connections available, as well as the SQL syntax that is used to define
SQL structures depends on the data foundation type Connections for multisource-enabled data
foundations must be secured, relational connections, and are managed by the data federation
service.
The procedure to create a universe varies slightly for different types of data sources

Steps for Creating Universe
1. Creating a Project
In the Local Projects View select File > New > Project.
The resources you use to build the universe are created and stored in the project.

Enter the project name and then click on Finish.

You can see that a new project is created.

Page 10
After you click on Finish, You can see a repository resource.

Connections can be local or secured:
 Create a local connection if you want to publish the universe on the local file system. Later,
you can publish the business layer to a repository.
 Create a secured connection if you want to create a multisource-enabled universe, or if you
want to publish the universe in a repository without first publishing locally. For secured
connections, you must create connection shortcuts in the local project to reference the
secured connections in the repository.
To make a secure connection, take the following steps
Right click on connection that you have made and goto Publish Connection to Repository.

After you Publish Connection to a Repository, you can see this popup window.

business
layer and referenced resources are to be saved.
1. In the Local Projects View, right-click the project folder and select Retrieve Universe > from
Local
Folder.

2. Follow the instructions on the wizard pages.

To remove the local security requirement, select the Save for all users option when selecting the universe in
the repository.
Follow the instructions on the wizard pages
When the wizard finishes, the business layer and its dependent resources (connections, connection shortcuts,

In the same series, we have prepared a complete end-to end Hands-on Beginner’s Guide for SAP BO 4.1. The document focuses on basic keywords, terminology and definitions one should know before starting SAP BO 4.1. Join our professional training program and learn from experts. History: Version Description Change 0.1 Initial Draft 0.1 Review#1 www.bispsolutions.com Author Laxmi Ahuja Amit Sharma www.bisptrainigs.com Publish Date 10th Oct 2013 10th Oct 2013 www.hyperionguru.com Page 1

Table of Contents Table of Contents.............................................................................................................................. 2 Introduction to Information Design Tool.............................................................................................3 Starting Information Design Tool....................................................................................................3 Creating Universe using Information Design Tool..............................................................................5 Steps for Creating Universe........................................................................................................... 5 Changing Object type................................................................................................................... 25 Retrieving a published universe from the local file system..............................................................32 www.bispsolutions.com www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 2
  • 3. Introduction to Information Design Tool Information Design Tool has been launched from SAP BO 4.0 and is a part of Client Tools in SAP BO 4.1. The information design tool is an SAP BusinessObjects metadata design environment that enables a designer to extract, define, and manipulate metadata from relational and OLAP sources to create and deploy SAP BusinessObjects universes. Starting Information Design Tool The information design tool is installed with the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform Client Tools Once the client tools are installed on your machine, for example in a Windows Server 2008 installation of the BI platform, you can start the information design tool with the command: Start > All programs >SAP BusinessIntelligence > SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4 Client Tools > Information Design Tool. www.bispsolutions.com www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 3
  • 4. No authentication is required to use the information design tool in offline mode (not connected to a repository). You can begin creating and editing local resources. Note: When you double-click a resource file in the local file system (for example a .blx, .dfx, or .cnx file), the information design tool opens without opening the specific resource editor. You must open the editor from the Local Projects View. www.bispsolutions.com www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 4
  • 5. Creating Universe using Information Design Tool Before you begin:  Make sure the middleware drivers are configured for the data sources to which you want to connect.  Make sure you have the appropriate rights defined in the Central Management Console (CMC).  Decide if the data foundation type should be single-source or multisource-enabled. The type and number of connections available, as well as the SQL syntax that is used to define SQL structures depends on the data foundation type Connections for multisource-enabled data foundations must be secured, relational connections, and are managed by the data federation service. The procedure to create a universe varies slightly for different types of data sources Steps for Creating Universe 1. Creating a Project In the Local Projects View select File > New > Project. The resources you use to build the universe are created and stored in the project. Enter the project name and then click on Finish.

  • 11. After you click on Finish, You can see a repository resource. Connections can be local or secured:  Create a local connection if you want to publish the universe on the local file system. Later, you can publish the business layer to a repository.  Create a secured connection if you want to create a multisource-enabled universe, or if you want to publish the universe in a repository without first publishing locally. For secured connections, you must create connection shortcuts in the local project to reference the secured connections in the repository. To make a secure connection, take the following steps Right click on connection that you have made and goto Publish Connection to Repository. After you Publish Connection to a Repository, you can see this popup window. www.bispsolutions.com www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 11
