Use Case –
UNX Adoption at a US Division 1 University

Automating UNV to UNX Conversion and Web Intelligence Repointing

A US Division 1 university planned to upgrade their SAP BusinessObjects CMS data platform to Oracle 19c, but quickly discovered their UNV universes were not supported in later Oracle versions. With 80 UNV universes and 50,000 Web Intelligence reports, manual conversion would place a great strain on resources and substantially delay their Oracle upgrade. They needed to find a means of automating the conversion process.

Requirements

• High-volume conversion of universes
  Automate conversion of UNV universes to UNX universes
• High-speed, automated repointing
• Ability to validate converted universes & repointed reports
• Resource optimization
• Timely resolution of conversion & repointing issue

Solution – APOS Migrator for Web Intelligence

The organization looked at doing the work internally, but rejected this approach, as it would require them to take resources away from core development pursuits, causing lost opportunity costs.

As a result, this organization deployed APOS Migrator for Web Intelligence.

APOS Migrator for Web Intelligence was selected to enable this organization to:

• Achieve controlled, high-speed, high-volume processing of universes and Web Intelligence reports
• Automate conversion of UNV universes to UNX universes
• Repoint Web Intelligence reports to new UNX universes in bulk
• Change universe settings on reports in bulk
• Establish and maintain granular control over conversion and repointing processes

Feedback

“This customer appreciated that APOS Migrator for Web Intelligence let them accomplish their UNX conversion and Web Intelligence migration with controlled, high-speed, high-volume processing in a project-based environment that gave them granular control over the conversion and repointing processes.”
