Linked Universe

Linked Universe

The Data provided is from two different data providers then we link those two universe , such type of universe is called Linked Universe

Disadvantages:

- more complex deployment (promoting) from DEV --> TEST --> PROD

- Depending on your BusinessObjects version, you might loose LOVs & universe contexts in your derived universe and will have to re-create them

- Higher risk of corrupted universes (so makes sure you keep valid backups!)

Advantages:

- Use linked universes/kernel universe as building blocks for a Universe based Enterprise Bus structure (similar to conformed dimensions in a data warehouse).
