    Hi,

    You can check the query log in Administration Tab for that.

    Hi Mahesh,

    My requirement is , suppose we have 20 dashboards(around 100 reports) and few adhoc reports these reports are getting data from 250 physical tables. Here we want to make a list of tables used by the dashboard reports (100 dashboard reports) not the other reports . Hope it makes sense.

    Thanks,

    Do you try use Catalog Manager / Tools / Create Report?

    Don't think you can do this as one step, but you can use usage tracking to compile a list of which subject areas are being accessed and then use this in the rpd to query which tables are being accessed by individual subject areas.

    Alternatively you can access the log files to pull the physical sql out, and then wade through that to compile a list of which physical tables are being accessed.

    Nice, you could combine this with usage tracking data via an exists in another report filter and then it would provide the full 'ask'....

  • You already got a bunch of replies, and as you can see the answer is into a mix of solutions.

    I would have a "all-in-one" solution, but it isn't an Oracle official tool or something you can buy on the market, just a way to put together all the metadata into a graph database allowing you to easily query the whole path: from a dashboard, to the elements on the dashboard pages (analysis and prompts), to the component of analysis (columns, filters, sub-analysis), to the subject area columns, down to the business model and finally to the physical object (so database, tables, columns). I will probably do an ODTUG webinar on this topic later this year.

    To make it short you have simple approaches: use usage tracking to get queries generated by a dashboard and from there extract your info. More complete approaches: runcat reports to get the all impact analysis, Sample App scripts to do the job for you. To the best approach: catalog XML analysis, RPD analysis and extraction of metadata with permissions etc.

    Do not expect a "click here and done" answer ...

    Either pay someone to build it, pay to implement their pre-built one OR build it yourself ... not too much else to say!

    Hi All,

    Apologies for late reply.

    Thanks for your suggestions. By using repository documentation I have achieved my requirement by doing manually.

    Thanks,

Welcome!
