Export all the cube names

Previous Member

Hi everyone,

 

We have a large Board projects with hundreds of cubes, entities, reports etc. So now I want to create a second project which will be the documentation of the project mentioned before. So in here I want to have an entity for reports, entries, cubes etc. And then we describe for each report, cube, entity etc. who created it, what is the purpose of it, which cubes are used in a report, etc.

 

So now I am wondering if it is possible to extract the ID's and names of entities, cubes, data readers, screens etc in a readable format so I can import this in the documentation project.

 

Is this possible?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

You can export XML files manually ("extract metadata" button) from the "System" Panel of the windows client.

Unfortunately, I know no method to extract it automatically (via procedure).

 

There, you can obtain this objects documented:

• entities
• relationships
• cubes
• datareaders (1 file pro datarader)
• screens (1 file pro file)

 

procedures are missing.

 

These threads already ask a similar question:

• How to know which Datareader populates and Infocube
• Consolidated view of Infocubes by Entity
• extract a file (XML) with setting we have in Board

 

good luck,
