When a crystal report based on universe (.UNV) is refresh, it performs the following tasks:

1. When one expands the option Universe in Database Expert, it prompts for login to the enterprise. Here, it communicates with CMS for authentication and authorization.
2. After selecting universe objects when one clicks on Next or Show command, it sends a request to Web Intelligence Processing Server to get a query.
3. Web Intelligence Processing Server sends a query to Crystal Reports designer and Crystal Reports designer uses the same query to hit the reporting database and retrieve records.
4. Here, it uses the database drivers (local) available on the client machine.
