why you create universe and creating reports based on that?
why dont we go for crystel reports and generate reports
directly?tell me the advantages?please answer to this question.

Answer Posted / anil kuamr

Here you go.

The main purpose of the universe is, it acts as an
interface between database and BO. So a non technical guy
can also create a report using the universe by drag/drop
the objects.
Once the universe had built, you no need to again create
queries in Crystal reports also, you can simply use the
universe as source, it will save time.
If the universe is not satisfying your report requirements
then you need to go for other sources.

Hope your doubt is clear.
