Report from repository

Hi,
I need to create a report from repository for getting the existing reports,the objects used in the reports and the classes to which those objects belong to.Which all rerpository tables I should look for this details ?

Thanks in Advance
Hari

You could look forever, you wonā€™t find that in the repository. Documents are stored as blobs in the obj_x_documents table. The only possible option is audtiing, but even that wonā€™t give you the detail you want.

There may some 3rd party tools that will do this, but nothing out of the box.

Take a look a this post.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the help.The Macro looks very complicated.
Myself I had a sql script,but need to link between the objects in report and classes to which the object belongs to.For a report,it is brining the entire class details.

SELECT
OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS.M_DOC_N_ID,
OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS.M_DOC_C_NAME,
OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_DOC_N_ID,
OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_SRC_C_NAME,
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_C_FILENAME,
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_N_ID,
UNV_CLASS.CLASS_ID,
UNV_CLASS.CLS_NAME,
UNV_CLASS.UNIVERSE_ID,
UNV_OBJECT.CLASS_ID,
UNV_OBJECT.OBJ_NAME,
UNV_OBJECT.UNIVERSE_ID
FROM
OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS,
OBJ_M_DOCATVAR,
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES,
UNV_CLASS,
UNV_OBJECT
WHERE
OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS.M_DOC_N_ID = OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_DOC_N_ID AND
OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_SRC_C_NAME = OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_C_FILENAME AND
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_N_ID = UNV_CLASS.UNIVERSE_ID AND
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_N_ID = UNV_OBJECT.UNIVERSE_ID AND
UNV_CLASS.UNIVERSE_ID = UNV_OBJECT.UNIVERSE_ID AND
UNV_OBJECT.CLASS_ID = UNV_CLASS.CLASS_ID AND
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_C_FILENAME = @variable(ā€˜Enter the universe nameā€™)
AND UNV_CLASS.CLS_NAME IN @variable(ā€˜Enter the class namesā€™)

Any modification to improve this query ?

Hi Hari,

I have one query which I remember uses for the same request. Try the below query and see if that can help for your requirement. I am sure you might need to do some changes on the query.

Hope this helps!!!

SELECT
UNIVERSE.A_EVDET_C_OBJNAME ā€œUniverseā€,
UNIVERSE.A_EVDET_N_OBJECTID ā€œUniverse - Object IDā€,
OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL.A_EVDET_C_OBJNAME ā€œDocumentā€,
OBJECTS.A_EVDET_C_OBJNAME ā€œObjectsā€
FROM
OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL,
OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL OBJECTS,
OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL UNIVERSE,
OBJ_A_OBJECT_TYPE,
OBJ_A_OBJECT_TYPE type_2,
OBJ_A_OBJECT_TYPE type_3
WHERE
(OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL.A_EVDET_N_OBJTYPID=OBJ_A_OBJECT_TYPE.A_OTYPE_N_ID) AND
(OBJECTS.A_EVDET_N_OBJTYPID=type_2.A_OTYPE_N_ID) AND
(UNIVERSE.A_EVDET_N_OBJTYPID=type_3.A_OTYPE_N_ID) AND
(OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL.A_EVDET_N_ID=OBJECTS.A_EVDET_N_ID) AND
(OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL.A_EVDET_N_ID=UNIVERSE.A_EVDET_N_ID) AND
(UNIVERSE.A_EVDET_N_ID=OBJECTS.A_EVDET_N_ID) AND ā€“ POSSIBLY TAKE OUT
(OBJ_A_OBJECT_TYPE.A_OTYPE_C_NAME IN (ā€˜Document nameā€™)) AND
(type_2.A_OTYPE_C_NAME IN (ā€˜Object nameā€™)) AND
(type_3.A_OTYPE_C_NAME IN (ā€˜Universe nameā€™)) AND
OBJECTS.A_EVDET_C_OBJNAME like
(
ā€˜%Levelā€™ --INSERT OBJECT NAME HERE
)
GROUP BY UNIVERSE.A_EVDET_C_OBJNAME, UNIVERSE.A_EVDET_N_OBJECTID,
OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL.A_EVDET_C_OBJNAME, OBJECTS.A_EVDET_C_OBJNAME

Hi Suntra,
I have an issue with ā€œUNIVERSEā€ table.I am getting an error ā€œtable does not existā€ when I am trying to access the same.Any issue/change with version.My BO is 5.1.6

Topics about reporting on the repository tables belong in the Supervisor forum, therefore moving. 8)


Dave Rathbun :us: (BOB member since 2002-06-06)

The tables as shown are Auditor tables. They are not part of the standard repository structure. Specifically OBJ_A_EVENT_DETL is created / populated only by the Audit process.

Please review Steve Krandelā€™s reply from earlier. You cannot do what you want from the repository tables, no matter how creative your SQL is. :slight_smile: The macro Andreas linked is a way to perform the analysis after retrieving the documents from the repository.

Alternatively you can look at 3rd party tools like Quality Manager.


Dave Rathbun :us: (BOB member since 2002-06-06)

I have another question regarding that macro.
In the universe there are objects with the same name in diff classes. Is there any way to show the class/subclass along with the object name from the universe.

Not sure whether this is the correct place to discuss about that macro.

Thanks

Doesnā€™t seem to be a direct topic, so this works for now. :slight_smile:

When I wrote the code, I did not see a way to determine the class that the object was pulled from. So I did not include that. If there is a way to determine a class by looking at the result objects in a query, then it could be added to the code.

The macro also skips looking at objects used for conditions, which is something that I have meant to add for quite a while.


Dave Rathbun :us: (BOB member since 2002-06-06)

Hi Reema,
The unv class and unv class data can be used to get the required data I fields.You may also have to look into object details too


haribalakrishnan (BOB member since 2003-04-10)

Thanks Haribalakrishnan

Do you have the code?


reemagupta (BOB member since 2002-09-18)

Hi Reema,

Code attached here with:

SELECT
UNV_CLASS.CLASS_ID,
UNV_CLASS.CLS_NAME,
UNV_CLASS.UNIVERSE_ID,
UNV_OBJECT.CLASS_ID,
UNV_OBJECT.OBJ_NAME,
UNV_OBJECT.UNIVERSE_ID
FROM
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES,
UNV_CLASS,
UNV_OBJECT
WHERE
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_N_ID = UNV_CLASS.UNIVERSE_ID AND
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_N_ID = UNV_OBJECT.UNIVERSE_ID AND
UNV_CLASS.UNIVERSE_ID = UNV_OBJECT.UNIVERSE_ID AND
UNV_OBJECT.CLASS_ID = UNV_CLASS.CLASS_ID AND
OBJ_M_UNIVERSES.M_UNI_C_FILENAME = @variable(ā€˜Enter the universe nameā€™)
AND UNV_CLASS.CLS_NAME IN @variable(ā€˜Enter the class namesā€™)

regards
Hari

Wicked Thought: Are you in Banglore ???


haribalakrishnan (BOB member since 2003-04-10)

Hari,

But my question was, how do we link universe class information with a report.
Thanks anyway for the code.
