If your universe is simple in terms of tables then go for
alias.
If your universe is complex in terms of tables then go for
Context.
Alias entails the propogation of the universe.
Contexts are not liked by the enduser because we are
forcing the enduser to the database which is the against to
the universe basic rule ie to keep the endusers away from
the database.

I am working on Business Objects-reporting side. Database is Teradata. I have two questions here: 1. We will be working only on Infoview on QA environment. Do I need to add ODBC entries for the QA database server on my machine to be able to create/refresh Infoview reports? I will not be using Desk_I or Web_I rich client. 2. Once reports are developed,Admin team would migrate the reports to Production and make these available to business users. The reports are Refresh on Open. Would the business users need to have the ODBC entries of Production database server in their machines to be able to refresh these reports?
