No direct conversion path
No direct conversion tools from .unx files to LookML. Manual mapping takes weeks and invites errors.
SQL dialect lock-in
Complex SQL fragments embedded in BOBJ objects are database-dialect specific and break when you move to BigQuery.
Messy reporting landscape
Years of unorganized user reporting environments require massive cleanup before you can port anything.
SAP BusinessObjects → Looker migration — your questions answered
How do you convert my SAP BusinessObjects universes to LookML?+
We built proprietary compilers that digest BOBJ Universe (.unx) metadata and output foundational LookML. This saves weeks of manual mapping and reduces structural errors. We then refine the models with your team.
What happens to my existing BOBJ support during the migration?+
Your legacy platform stays under vendor support as long as your vendor contract is active. If your renewal lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform while you complete the move. It is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches.
Can you migrate all my Webi reports and dashboards?+
The broad, unorganized user reporting environment you've inherited needs cleanup before porting. Our fixed-scope assessment identifies which reports to migrate, which to archive, and which objects contain complex SQL fragments that require rewriting for BigQuery.
Is this a simple lift-and-shift from SAP Universe to LookML?+
The move from SAP Universe to LookML is fundamentally a data model transformation — from a rigid, on-premises semantic layer to a cloud-native, version-controlled model. We handle the structural conversion; you gain full git integration and a unified data experience.
Convert BOBJ to Looker with Confidence
Post-migration, we keep your Looker environment tuned: LookML development, database tuning, dashboard maintenance. No orphaned universes. No patching gaps.
