Getting Metadata out of BO

I have all sorts of useful meta data that I have diligently plugged into my universes and reports. Object (attribute) names their definitions, table names and their definitions. At the report level i have many variables defined that I use for calculated measures.

How do I get this data out in a useful format? CSV would be nice.

Hello,

Please refer following thread:

https://bobj-board.org/t/141886

There is an excel macro, that you need to download and run on your BO machine. Once run, it will ask you for repository credentials, select your universe and everything in universe like object definition, where clause, contexts definition, etc will be systematically registered in the xls.

Just beautiful utility developed by all BOBJ gurus :smiley:

Hope this helps…

Sincerely,
Chinmay Athavale
