Query CMS database for SQL used in objects?

We have a change in our database that means we need to check our universes to see if the column in question is used in any joins, object, etc

Under version 6 we used to just query the repository tables to see if the column name appeared there.

Is there a way we can query in XIr3.1 to do the same thing?

I know we can look at the audit database, but I’m not sure this info is stored there.

Appreciate any assistance on this problem.

Hi,

Use either this utility:


or this one:

to document your universes. Then you should be able to get what you need from data from the excel files.

Have you looked at Metadata Management? It would give you the lineage information for the columns to objects to reports.
