This first lesson presents key concepts and vocabulary that are important to understand before proceeding to the next lesson. Here you will learn about; • Web Intelligence concepts • Web Intelligence core functionality Web Intelligence concepts Accessing information with Web Intelligence With Web Intelligence, you can query databases using everyday business terms, and using an easy-to-use interface. You can create simple or very complex reports and share the information you display with other colleagues. As part of your job you make decisions all the time and therefore need the right information at your fingertips to help you make the right decisions. You want to access information using your everyday business vocabulary without having to understand anything about the technical way the information is stored. Once you have anaylsed information, you also need to be able to share it with your colleagues. Web Intelligence allows you to access, analyse and share corporate data very easily.

Hi, I have installed SBOP_BI_PLAT_4.0SP9_CLNT tools. Now I want to access Efashion universe. I checked in the below path but I did not find any universe.

Understanding the semantic layer The BusinessObjects universe is the semantic layer that isolates you from the technical complexities of the databases where your corporate information is stored. Because universes are based on business terminology that is familiar to you and shared throughout the organisation, universes allow you to create queries and get information using your own everyday terms. The terms you need to be familiar with in order to understand how this semantic layer functions are; • Universe • Object • Class Universes A universe maps to the data in the database, but uses everyday terms that describe your business environment. This means that you can select exactly the data that interests you using your own business terminology.

Universes are created by a universe designer using BusinessObjects Designer. The designer then makes universes available to you and other users so that you can access the data through an intuitive, user-friendly interface.

Universes are made up of objects, classes and pre-defined query filters. Objects The elements within the universe that you use to create reports are called objects Classes Objects that represent similar types of data are grouped into classes. Link download film indonesia.

The above diagram shows the eFashion universe, which is the universe used throughout these lessons to build queries and create Web Intelligence documents. Classes are logical groupings of objects and they are indicated by the folder icon. Object are elements that map to a set of data in a relational database, but using business terms.

For example, one of the classes in the eFashion universe is the Store class, and a few of the objects in the Store class include State, City, and Store name.
