I tried to do that but there is no universe designer. In Information Design Tool, the connection type is called "Relational". Are those secured and personal connection types gone?

Thanks.

Hi,

FYI

Relational connections are used for creating Relational universes pointing to relational databases

OLAP connections are used to connection to SAP BW

Thank you

Hi,

In BI4.0, we have universe design tool in client tools.

The concept of secured, shared and personal connections remain the same for Universe Design Tool in BI4.0 i.e. when we click on 'New' Wizard in the universe connection parameters we have 3 options for secured shared and personal connection

However the concept differs a little bit in Information Design Tool

When we create a connection in 'Local Projects' , (right click on a project-Insert Relational Connection) it creates a Local connection(concept of shared and personal connection have been merged as local connection in IDT)

When we right click on this local connection and click on 'Publish connection to Repositary' the connection will be published to repositary and a secured connection will be created(same as a secured connection in Universe Designer)

Hope this information helps you

Thank you

Hyder
