Reporting on users by group or documents by group?

I know this has been done to death but for the life of me I can’t find any reference here via search. (Admittedly, I need coffee.)

So if anyone can point me to the right posts, my need is this:

I need to be able to provide reports that show the following:

  • Which users are in which group? (Grouped by group name)
  • Which groups are the users in? (Grouped by user)
  • Which documents belong to which group? (Grouped by group name)
  • Which users access which document? (Grouped by user or document)

The repository is a pain in the arse to report from, so if anyone’s invented the wheel yet, I need a boost. :slight_smile:

Thanks,

P.S. Oh, and my repository is in SQL Server 7, BO Version 5.1.x

Sounds like you want a universe off of the repository. There should be some samples on the BO CD.

Also Dave’s site has some sample ones. http://www.islink.com/isi_library_downloads_BO_supervisor.htm

Not sure if any are in SQL Server but you could modify one to work with your db.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

You have to basically query

obj_m_actorlink and obj_m_actor tables

Hmm lemme amend that… the users by group thing is easy to obtain. It’s the document to group links that I’m having trouble with.

I have a repository universe for SQL 7.0, BO 5.1.x - but I don’t think it will do what you need. You probably need to dechipher table OBJ_M_ACTORLINK… I’ll send it to and you can play with it…

Here is a topic that discusses some of the issues you’re facing…
