Crystal Reports from a Universe

My current project is to build a universe and a Crystal Report on top of it. Any suggestions? Is this a good idea? Or is it better to rebuild the table structure in Crystal itself? The clients hope is to have a "pixel perfect" report as well as a universe to do some ad hoc reporting on top of it. There should also be a lot of fun OpenDoc calls in this short little project.

LCM Universe Connection Change

Problem: User has a test database and a production data base and Business Objects instances. They need to use LCM to migrate the universe from one environment to another. Is it possible? What is the best practice?

Answer: YES!  The connection should have the same name in both places even though the connection behind it will be different. Make sure you map the connection as well in LCM in the promotion screen. Remember to beware of LCM unmapping!
