Understanding the Repository 5x and XIR2

Does any one have any form of documentation defining what table are in the BO Repository and what data do each hold. I need to identify all reports from the repository and their version. We are in the process of upgrading to XIR2 on Test.

Version 5 is easy. You can query the good 'ole repository directly to get the list of reports. In XIr2, it is not recommended to query the system database directly or you might corrupt the data. You can use the built-in Query Builder in the Admin launchpad to get a list of reports. But the information is very limited.

If you know how to program, you can write your own code to get all these information to your heart’s content.
