    All of the current Ideas that mention SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe integration are marked as completed as this feature was offered pre June/July release. This is nearly a critical requirement for adoption in my organization.

    I had previously heard that this was removed due to licencing restrictions, can we get an official response on that? Is there any possibility of this being re-integrated?

    Unfortunately, the Business Objects connector was removed due to a number of reasons.

    Yeah... so we have many SAP universes. We're looking to connect to Power BI, but don't want to have to build an entire SQL Server Data Warehouse JUST to connect to Power BI. Is there any solution in sight?

    Definitely would like to see SAP BO Universes directly supported. We're a Business Objects shop.

    Having a SAP BO Universe Connector in Power BI will be very helpful. Please consider this request.

    I just entered an equivalent request in the SAP Ideas forum. So anyone here who has access to that, please upvote it there, too.
