Universe corrupted

[Former Member]

Hi,

My Universe is corrupted. I deleted a universe from the repository and now i cannot open it. I received error "You are not authorized to use this document (FRM 00008)". Then i follow the below solution

1. Create a universe on your local machine as TEST.unv

2. go to options then insert.

3. Find the local copy of your universe that you having problems with.

4. This should then open up as a second universe connection showing all the tables and connections.

5. Then goto to File > parameters then in the links tab click your universe then click include then Ok.

I get the error "This universe to be linked belongs to the another repository. The link cannot be done. (DSG0086)." when try to link the old universe with the new universe. Please help me make this universe work again, i forget to do a back up for this universe.

Thank you

Hi,

Follow these steps..

To work around this issue:

1. Make a new universe with specific name (Eg. TEST).

2. Export it and save it on the local computer.

3. Copy the name of the TEST universe and delete the TEST universe from the local computer.

4. Rename the corrupted universe with the TEST.unv name.

5. Open the TEST.unv from the local computer in Designer.

6. Export the universe

7. Import the universe again to get the corrupted universe data.

Thanks,

Hi Amit,

The workaround does not work. The below error appear when i try to perform step 5.

You are not authorized to use this document. (FRM 00008)

Details: The universe belongs to another CMS. You cannot open it unless you are connected to the same CMS from which it was imported

Any more ideas?

Thank you

Do you have more than one CMS? It sounds like you do. If so, do you have a local copy of the original universe? and if so, try exporting it to the original CMS it was using. Then try importing it back. See if that fixes it.

You have to remove the security (save for all users) when saving a universe in order to use it in another environment (CMS).

If it really was a linked universe, I am not sure if this will work, or fix the links. Linked universes are kind of rare in my experience. But you should be able to get the original one back if you have a copy.

Why did you delete it in the first place?!!

Hi,

i dont have a back up copy, that is the problem. i accidentally deleted the wrong file n connection in CMC.

Hi,

as you said you have deleted the universe and connection from the cmc but sure you have the local copy of the universe somewhere in the local system. so try to create same connection with some test universe and export in the cmc. after that open the local copy and map the connection and export it..

May be it will work for you.

Thanks,

Amit
