Getting Reports About Object Relationships
You can get reports about the relationships between certain object types in the repository. This section provides an introduction to using the reports facility; for more information, see Siebel Reports Guide.
The list of records that displays in a repository report is not dependent on the currently selected object definition in the Object List Editor—for example, if you select the Contact business component in the Object List Editor and generate the business components and fields report, the report will show all business components, not just the Contact business component.
To restrict a report to a single parent object definition—that is, one business component, business object, dock object, table, or workflow object—do a query in the Object List Editor (for the parent object type) that restricts the list to the one object definition you want to see.
The following example shows how to get the Tables report for S_ORG_EXT.
To get a Tables report for the S_ORG_EXT table
- In the Object Explorer, select the Table object type.
- Activate the Object List Editor for tables by clicking on it.
- Choose Query > New Query from the menu bar.
- Enter a value of S_ORG_EXT in the Name property and press Enter.
- Choose Reports > Tables.
The generated report will provide information only for the S_ORG_EXT table.
You can use a similar approach to restrict a report to a range of object definitions that have a property value in common. The report will include only those object definitions satisfying the current query. For example, you can get a Tables report of all extension tables, a business components report of all business components of a specific class, or any of the reports restricted to a single field.
The current object type in the Object Explorer determines the list of reports in the Reports menu. Repository reports are listed by current object type in Table 10.
