EIM Table Mapping Report Generation

See Generating EIM Table Mapping Reports

Previous versions of the Siebel Interface Tables Reference included a listing of the EIM tables in the repository. With this release, the Siebel Interface Tables Reference is no longer published because you can now generate this information yourself, from your own repository. You can produce your own report that contains every EIM table in your repository, or query to select EIM tables, including EIM tables you have added.
