Hey Prabhith 
Thanks for the reminder, I've forgotten about that. Think I got so fixed on the relational universes because that's the only way you can get Lumira to connect to BW (for now). Now I feel silly . . . 
Thanks for the note, I'm sure it's not BW, we've only got this issue on one of the BO servers, the rest are fine. The report runs fine, it's just the query filter LOV's not returning any values and the multiple attempts to create a report on the universe before the prompt appears.
Regards
Antonette
