Answer Posted / zeenat

There is only one universe in terminology of BO, but there
may be many situations based on the usage, where we can
classify the universes as-

1. Depending on type of data universe objects mapping

a. Ad-hoc (personal data) – The Universe created for a
personal usage is called Ad-hoc Universe and these are not
shared with anybody else.
The reports created using these universes are called Ad-hoc
Reports and generally users have the rights to store the
reports in the Inbox. Ad-hoc reporting is a user friendly
feature designed for all levels of users. Custom reports
are created using queries.
b. Non Ad-hoc (corporate data) – The universe created
for a corporate usage is known as Non ad-hoc Universe these
are sharable Universes and reports created from these can
be viewed by all the users.

2. In linking universes scenario
a. Core universe (Kernel or Master universe) – The
Universe created and used with another universes for the
reusability of the components.
b. Derived universe – The Universe created using Core
universe and there own required components.

3. Depending on universe parameters.
a. Secured universe.
b. Personal universe.
c. Shared universe.
