Hi,

CUID - is used to uniquely identify an object across different deployments (e.g. development, staging and production).

GUID - is used to identify objects in an object package.

You can get more information in the BOE Admin guide which you can refer from http://help.sap.com

Regards,

Noor.

Hi Noor,

Thanks for your Valuable Information,

We have Published Reports to Dev System From BW Publisher. Then we Transported the Reports to Acc System and Again Published to the BOE through the BW Publisher. So the CUID's of the reports has been changed.

I am calling those reports using Enterprise Link from another report. Because CUID Changes I am not able to open the reports in Acc System.I want something Constant ID (Like CUID Or GUID) to Create the URL across the Landsacpe.

Thanks & Regards

Shiva

A GUID is essentially the same as an SI_ID except that they're longer (and less efficient to query). RUIDs are used to uniquely refer to InfoObjects within an Object Package.

This is in SAP NOTE: 1285103

CUIDs remain the same both within and across clusters. The CUID of an object should not change unless a new object is created.
