You don't create olap cubes with BO. You build queries. Those queries are automatically loaded in to a multidimensional caches so that you can slice and dice the report.

Thank you skrandel for your help,
So, i have to create the dimensions (and the universe) without creating an olap cube. Is that right? Thank you

You need to do some reading. A universe is a map of your physical database to logical business terms. You need this to access a relational database.

Skrandel, can you recommend some good reading on this subject - I am just getting involved in this at project management level and a point in the right direction as far as reading is concerned would be most welcome.

Thanks

Deb

Amazon.com. The best book about BO is by Cindi Howson. It's titled Business Objects: The Complete Reference
