Data Store Configuration in Repository Tables/Views

I’m trying to find datastore information and their configurations, especially the default configuration from the metadata tables/views. Any help would be appreciated!

I should read the post better and then reply…

AL_LANG Table of Object Type 5 represents the Datastore. However I am not so sure on where the different config of that exist!

Only place that I can find is in the xml tables (not the nicest place to get the info from):

SELECT *
FROM AL_LANGTEXT
WHERE PARENT_OBJID IN (
SELECT OBJECT_KEY FROM AL_LANG
WHERE OBJECT_TYPE = 5
AND NAME <> ‘CD_DS_d0cafae2’
)
ORDER BY 1, 2
;

With a filter you can find:
<DSConfiguration default=“false”
or
<DSConfiguration default=“true”

That’s great, thanks for the example. As you said it’s not the nicest way but with some hardcore string functions I’ll probably be able to pull out the necessary information :slight_smile:

I look for Datastore information in al_langtext. Here is a post I just made with code to parse out the subject matter from al_langtext, specifically for Datastores: https://bobj-board.org/t/217379/1.
