Change universe in report

[anuragvijay]

I have a report built using UniverseA (UniverseA is built on development database). But now i want the same report to use UniverseB which is an exact replica of UniverseA (UniverseB is built on production database). How can i achieve this without rebuilding and reformatting the report?

thanks

From the Data Manager (Data - > View) go to Definition Tab and click on the button next to Universe and select the New Universe.

If the two universe are exact copies meaning Universe B is created using SAVEAS on Universe A, then the transition is piece of cake as mention by Shri.

But you can achieve the same by changing the connection in the universe one pointing to the test database and another pointing to production database. Less the number of copis of same universe less maintainanace
