SAP BusinessObjects

PowerDesigner supports generation of a SAP® BusinessObjects™ universe from your PDM for editing in the BusinessObjects Universe Design or Information Design tools, or for direct consumption by the Web Intelligence rich client. Generating a universe from your PDM gives you access to table, view, and column names and comments and more reliable cardinality information than if you create a universe directly from your database.
