Hi Everyone,

Do anyone have idea on how to transfer business objects universe to Cognos dynamic models and the compexities involved in such transfer.

It's a long time since I've done this, but here goes:
1) have your BO Universe model available
2) create a new Framework Manager Model
3) create your data Import Layer namespace, or whatever your naming standard is for the first layer
4) right click on this namespace, and run the Metadata Data Wizard, select "Third Party Metdata Sources"

This where it gets tricky, as FWM will need to use the same data source used by your BO model, and that model will need to be in a version supported by FWM etc. If the data source does not already exist and test ok in Cognos Connection, you'll need to do that before you can proceed in FWM. Apart from that, if the BO model is supported, you can select it, use default import options, or be selective with the options. Chapter 4 of the 10.2.2 Framework Manager User Guide walks you through this process in detail.

The big trick is a good BO model does not mean it will be a good FWM model. You should then re-model the imported metadata in subsequent layers to make it look like a FWM best practices model.

Hope this helps.
