Display Last Modified By - In Catalog

Question

In the catalog folders, we can see the following fields (highlighted in red)

Name, Type, Last Modified, Owner

But I want to also display the field "Last Modified By" (expected here - highlighted in green)

Is it possible to do that? My OBIEE version is "11.1.1.7.160719"

Hi,

I'm not aware of a way to expose that information in the front-end, in the catalog page, I think the 4 items you see (Name, Type, Last Modified, Owner) are the ones available by default.

However, as Joel said, that information is stored in the catalog itself and you can get that information through the runcat utility. You can generate a report that exports for each object in the catalog the information you need into a file. Then, it's up to you to take care of that information and expose it in OBIEE, you can easily build an analysis with that information.

This link gives you an overview of what you can do with the runcat command.

Yes I can see these details in Catalog Manger. But is there any way we can expose the "Modifier" field to users in OBI Analytics?
