Bookshelf v7.5.2: 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.

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.

Table 10. Reports Available for Each Object Type
Object Type	Report	Description
Applet	Applets by BusComp	Lists the applets in the repository alphabetically within each business component.
Business component	Business Component and Fields	Lists the fields in each business component alphabetically. For each field, the base column and join table, if any, are identified.
Business object	Business Object and Components	Lists the business object components in each business object. For each business object component, the business component and link are identified.
Dock object	Repository Dock Objects	For each dock object displays selected properties, and lists the member tables, visibility rules, and related dock objects.
Project	Project List	Lists all projects, and identifies the locking status, person locked by, and locked date for each.
Table	Tables	For each table displays selected properties, and lists the columns. The name, physical type, length, scale, comments, and various other properties are identified for each column.
Workflow Policy Object	Workflow Policy Objects	Lists the workflow components in each workflow object, and within each workflow component lists the columns.
