About the Metadata Input File

The table describes the parameters in the metadata input file.

The input file is a text file that contains the parameters that are described in the following table.

Input File Name	Description
BUSINESS_MODEL	The name of the business model in the logical layer of the Oracle BI repository that contains the metadata to export. If the business model isn't found in the repository, then an error message is displayed. You can only specify one business model name in the input file. To generate metadata for multiple business models, create another input file and run the Oracle Database Metadata Generator again.
PHYSICAL_DATABASE	The name of the database in the physical layer of the Oracle BI repository that contains the metadata to export. When the business model derives from multiple databases, then it eliminates metadata from all databases other than the one specified here. When the physical database isn't found in the repository, an error message is displayed.
RUN_AS_USER	The user name of the database user whose visibility must be duplicated for the metadata export. This parameter can't be empty. This user must exist as a user reference in the repository.
OUTPUT_FOLDER	The full path and file name of the folder where the SQL file placed. If the folder doesn't exist when you run the Oracle Database Metadata Generator, then the folder is created in the process. See About the Output Files.
