A Universe is a business-oriented mapping of the data
structure found in databases: tables, columns, joins, etc.
A Universe is a semantic layer between Database and end
users.
A Universe can represent any specific application,
system, or group of users. For example, a universe can
relate to a department in a company such as marketing or
accounting.
A Universe can also pertain to a section within a
department or just about any set of organized procedures
such as a payroll or inventory system.
A Universe consists of a set of objects, grouped by classes.

Steps to be taken care to create :

Prepare : Know the data source

Analyze :Identify the needs of the end user population

Plan : Design the universe(s)

Implement : Create the universe(s)

Test : Using a test team (including end users)

Deploy : Distribute the universe to end users

Evolve : Adapt and extend universe over time

I have two data providers with common dimension and measures. The only difference between two data providers is in condition 'Fiscal Year'.One data provider calculates for current year and other one calculates for previous year. So in prompts if I am passing 2008 as current year then the two data providers should be able to calculate for current year and previous year individually. So Can anybody tell me how to do calculation in data providers. ( I am using BO WebI report )
