Exploring 4.0: Information Design Tool

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

The Information Design Tool is the brand new metadata modeling application used for creating universes in SAP BusinessObjects 4.0.

The new model takes the traditional universe and breaks it down into three components: the Connection, the Data Foundation, and the Business Layer. These components all existed in some form in previous versions, but now they each get their own editor and a host of new features and options. Let's review these in a bit more detail.
