Report on Model Objects

You can report on modeling objects using the object names and property names. The list of object names is available in the file MartServer\WEB-INF\Metadata\EMX_ObjectTypecodeList.csv. The list of property names is available in the file MartServer\WEB-INF\Metadata\EMX_PropertyTypecodeList.csv.

Follow these steps:

  1. Edit the reports.xml file and include the report definition for the Model objects and their properties that you want to report on.
  2. Edit the reports_schema.xml file and include the schema definition for the report. You can also generate the schema definition using a tool of your choice and include it in the reports_schema.xml file.

The following report definition script reports on the Object table that includes Entity and Attributes:

<report>

    	<Name>Entity Attributes</Name>

        <Object_Type>

        	<Name>Entity</Name>

            <Report_Output>

                <Property>

                    <Type>Name</Type>

    		    <Type>Physical_Name</Type>

    		    <Type>Catalog_Name</Type>

		    <Type>Catalog_Path</Type>

		</Property>

            </Report_Output>

            <Object_Type>

                <Name>Attribute</Name>

                <Report_Output>

                    <Property>

                        <Type>Name</Type>

                        <Type>Physical_Name</Type>

                        <Type>Logical_Data_Type</Type>

                        <Type>Physical_Data_Type</Type>

                    </Property>
