My name is Robert Twigg and I work on the SAP Webi Support team. I also have some background with the RESTful Web Services SDK for Web Intelligence. While working on the Webi support team, I have noticed that a frequent and significant issue that is encountered is Webi documents no longer having connectivity to their universe. In many of these cases, the solution is to repoint the Webi document to the universe. This is a particular headache when there are numerous Webi documents that need to be repointed.

Good luck!
