Resolution

Updated instructions on how to use the product have been provided. See below:

 

If you want to get the “owner” (and “qualifier”) in the generated SQL in order to specify it in the execution from CR, you must go to the Universe Designer, Import and Open your SP universe, and Fill the "owner" area from the “rename table” dialog box.
 
In this case, you will get a generated SQL such as:

<SQLSTATEMENT SID="1">
SELECT
  TEST.ID
FROM
(
<Procedure uid="SYSTEMTEST" owner="SYSTEM" name="TEST" type="PROCEDURE">
<Parameter name="CRO" type="RefCursor" mode="InOut"/>
</Procedure>
  )  TEST
</SQLSTATEMENT>
