The Open Metadata Interpreter is a powerful tool you can use to link Interactive Reporting Studio to metadata, or information about the database. By modifying the SQL that Interactive Reporting Studio sends to the database server, you can dictate where Interactive Reporting Studio finds the information it uses to create a data model from database tables.
The Open Metadata Interpreter enables Interactive Reporting Studio users to draw this information from an enterprise source of business metadata.
The Open Metadata Interpreter reads metadata from tables on a database and applies it to data models through a live database connection. The specifications for reading these tables are stores in Interactive Reporting database connection files. Once configured, metadata definitions are available to anyone who uses theInteractive Reporting database connection files.
