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

I don't normally comment, but this item has been in high demand for a very long time. Our global organization was going to use Power BI on top of the IDT universes, using both Webi and Power BI for data visualization. Since we are not able to connect Power Bi to the universes, we are migrating all of our BO solutions to Analysis Services. I believe we are not the only company migrating away from BO for this very reason. It is disappointing - Power BI reports could have had a dependency on the SAP models, and retained that revenue stream for SAP.

Waiting for that feature to migrate a lot of reports/Dashboard to Power BI.

This used to be available up to sometime in 2016. Please bring it back. i.e. work with SAP to resolve your issues as this is extremely valuable. Or I guess we could use your competitors products that do incorporate it such as Tableau if you don't want to listen to your customers Microsoft...
