Universe Connection Errors
Got following error while creating an connection for new
Business Objects Universe in 4.1 SP2
DBD: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN
contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
Note: After research found that it is nothing to do with
Business Objects version but it’s because of 64 bit and 32 bit ODBC.
Solution: This worked for me
You might be seeing only 64 bit ODBC connection window
through control panel, so go to following directory
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
And run odbcad32.exe and add same system DSN there. This
will fix the issue. For more details go to following link

Solution:
1. Create a new Universe.
You are not
authorized to use this document. (FRM 00008)
Issue : Universe got deleted from CMS or you have some old
universe and trying to open it again. It gives above error.
Solution:
1. Create a new Universe.
2.
In Universe Parameters window -> go to Links
tab -> click on Add links
3.
Now select Universe and hit open
4.
Once you see universe name in links tab.
5.
Click on Include button. (name will go away)
6.
Now click ok and you can see universe schema
(old universe is imported in new universe).
