Within SAP BI 4.0, a new Universe (Semantic Layer) has been developed. The existing Universe (.unv) and Designer
tool still exists in 4.0, but an additional tool named Information Design Tool (IDT) has been developed.
Universes created with the IDT are published to the BOE repository with a (.UNX) extension.
Web Intelligence 4.0 can work with both (.UNV) and (.UNX) universes.
The following new products or product features only work with the new (.UNX) IDT Universes.
