Hi Jawahar
Universe is not a problem as i can have two universe connecting to 2 databases. But the problem is when someone runs a report on a universe on UK database on an adhoc basis. Two things can happen:
1) If the BO server is in NL the request will go from NL to UK and the data will be fetched from UK back to NL BO server and then the HTML page will be send back to UK . This will lead to severe latency specially if the connection between the BO server and DB server is slow as is the case in our case
2) If we have a clustered environment with one BO server in UK and one in NL the system might not recognize a NL user group and run the NL report on the NL BO server or a UK user group and run the UK report on the NL BO server specially for adhoc reports (unless the reports are scheduled) . There is no way i can tie groups to services running on a particular server.
