SAP BusinessObjects Universe Metadata Extractor

This Java application can extract the universe metadata into a json file from SAP BusinessObjects.

System Requirements

To run the application your system should satisfy the following requirements:

  • Install Java Development Kit 32-bit version. (The connector has been succesfully tested using Java 1.7)

  • Download and install SAP BO Client tools 4.1 from SAP Marketplace (Make sure to select SemanticLayer SDK from the Developer components during the installation process. This is not selected by default). An installation guide is available here.

  • Install Apache Maven binary. More info about how to install Maven can be found here.

You can test the installations by running mvn -version from the command line. It should list the Maven version and the Java version too.

Configuring the application

The application is configurable through a XML file: src/main/resources/BOTConfig.xml. For the more details please check the config file.

Running the application

Starting the application is very easy using the BOMetadataExtraction.bat file. You only need the set one environmental variable:

  • BO_HOME Set the path of your installed BO Client library for example: SET BO_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0

After setting the variable you only start the BOMetadataExtraction.bat file. The result will be available in the same folder where the script was running from.
