Rapid Mart AP & GL installation question

[former_member396266]

I have installed the SAP AP & GL RapidMarts.  I followed the bundled documentation RM_QUICK_Guide_EN_XX.doc.  But then I found that I missed one step in between.  In section 3.1.11 "Create Universe Connections" in RM_QUICK_Guide_EN_XX.doc, it mentioned that I need to use the information design tool to find the connection "CHANGING_THIS" and make it to point to the right database.  Now the problem is, I have installed 2 RapidMarts.  The AP RapidMarts uses the database RM_AP and the GL RapidMarts uses the database RM_GL.  But there is only one connection "CHANGING_THIS".  Suppose this connection needs to be changed so that the bundled WEBI reports and universes can be used.  But since there is only one "CHANGING_THIS", if I change it to point to the RM_AP database, then that means the GL ones would not work?  Now I am really confused and I'm not sure what should I do!  Any Rapid Mart experts out there can offer me some advice?

Thank you.

Hi,

have you got 2 sets of Universes in the repository?

When you do "import universe" into a local IDT project, this should unpack 1 connection for each universe.

If both unpack with the same name, then you will have to manually create a second one, with the right db parameters (pointing to the correct source), update the data foundation properties to point to this new connection.. then save and export the lot (publish universe to repository)

regards,

Thanks for your reply.  In the end my boss has decided to not to pursue in the direction of using RapidMarts, so I cannot verify if I can use your method to solve this problem. 

I would like to grant you "points" though and make your reply a "helpful answer".  But I am yet finding the way to do it...

Thanks again!
