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 / sourabh gosain

Crystal Reports can not be edited by Users like we can edit
webi reports as par user requirement.

Crystal reports are created where there is no further
report development requirement. That means after completion
of a report development project , if a new report to be
developed one must have to have knowledge of data base/SQL.
Where as after creating universe we can make as many
reports we want after a small training session.

Crystal Reports can not be used to analyze the data using
drill down feature.

Crystal reports does not have feature of taking SNAPSHOT of
data after drill down on a particular dimension.

Crystal Reports can’t have more than one report in it. Like
in BO reports we can insert a report just like adding
worksheets in Excel workbook.

But still crystal reports have greater flexibility in terms
of Report Format, data exporting, Formulas, Section Expert,
Paging Formulas, Group Expert, Record Selection Expert,
Group Selection Expert etc……….
