In BOXI R2, there are no separate domains like in BO 5x and 6x.
There is a single repository which stores the entire information about the users , objects, repotrs etc.

Bottomline: There are NO separate domains for Security, Document and Universe like in classic BO.

In BO Xi R2 here also we use the same domains.
At the time of repository creation 8 tables will be generated.

There are only 7 Tables in BOXI R2 repository.
There is nothing wrong with the installation.
Previously everything i.e., Reports and Universes were stored as BLOB objects in repository so there was lot of things that was maintained in previous version of BO but now as the file servers have been created repository maintain just the pointer or info about the whereabouts of Reports and Universes.

Hi,

When you install BO XI R2, 8 tables will be created
for CMS DB. Additionally, 7 more tables will be created
if you have chosen the same schema for Audit DB also.
(You can install BO XI R2 without Audit DB as well)

The CMS_INFOOBJECTS5 table, which is one of CMS tables,
stores all the .rep, .rpt,.wid info. Put together, all
these 8 tables maintain info regarding users, security,
reports, schedules etc.,

However, all the physical storage of Universes and Reports
can be seen under the FRS folder at:

c:programfilesBusinessObjectsBusinessObjects11.5Filestore

(Browse for this location in BO Server Machine)

It is a centralized set of relational data structures found in databases.

Repository contains three domains:

1) Security Domain (Contains information about other two domains),
2) Document Domain (Contains information about scripts or stored procedures, text files) and
3) Universe Domain (Information about universes created and exported)

It is set of data structures that can be stored in a database. Generally the repository is made up by 3 domains
Security domain - 25 tables
Uni domain - 24 tables
Document domain - 1 table
In BO 6.5 it has 57 tables
Audit tables - 7 tables.

Some users have asked for repository info on XI Release 1/2/3

Repository - Basic definition irrespective of what reporting tool you use

It is a catalog of all the users / groups/ contents ( Reports)/ sql embedded in reports / data saved in report if any / security information / server information etc. Repository has all the information enviornment i.e. server need to know to run , information about all the users / groups / rights , information created by users (developers / power users ).

In Business Objects XI Release 2, following components when combined form repository.

1. CMS Database : This database has information about users / groups / universe names / report names / folder names / server names / server rights/ server current status / pointers to reports / pointers to physical universe file / scheduling information / any user defined events etc.
2. Input File Repository : This is a shared drive which is used by servers to retreive reports / universes / any local document stored by user / inbox documents.
3. Output File Repository : This is again a shared drive. This drive holds instances of reports.

BO repository is where the metadata of your application is stored. It has 3 domains like Security Domain, Universe Domain and Document Domain. Security domain contains the info about user type/group, access privileges etc. Universe Domain contains the info about joins, loops, classes, objects and hierarchies. Document domain contains the outputs of each report.

There is no concept or Domains from XI R2. Everything will be viewed as metadata though all these information is stored in the database tables.

Domain concept ends with the 6x only.

Thanks.
