All of the current Ideas that mention SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe integration are marked as completed as this feature was offered pre June/July release. This is nearly a critical requirement for adoption in my organization.

I had previously heard that this was removed due to licencing restrictions, can we get an official response on that? Is there any possibility of this being re-integrated?

Unfortunately, the Business Objects connector was removed due to a number of reasons.

RE: SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe

This is a critical requirement for us. We had put in a lot of time and effort in creating the BO Universe. We now want to use it as source in Power BI. We will still be using BO for daily "bread and butter" report and would like to use PBI for Dashboards on Cloud.

Please let us know if there is any chance of getting this functionality back on Power BI.

Our semantic layer is built using the SAP Universe so having this connector is essential for us as we do not want to create two semantic layers.

Any update on this?

Looks like this thread is falling on deaf ears. Too bad MS Power BI had potential.

This is very much required in the current org structure. Many intelligent reports configured on boxi are required on POWER BI for dashboarding purpose.

Yes, this is much needed because we already have the data access governance set up and managed at the Universe level.

RE: SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe

This could be the way to adopt Power BI in our university

We are evalutating Power BI, we use SAP BO universes, we want to access them too!

RE: SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe

Is there any update on this idea? It would be great having this connector implemented on Power BI.
