7 C H A P T E R 1 Metadata Manager Repository Reports The Metadata Manager Repository stores the Metadata Manager warehouse and models. The Metadata Manager warehouse is a centralized metadata warehouse that stores the metadata from metadata sources. You can use the Metadata Manager Repository reports to analyze data in the Metadata Manager warehouse. To run the Metadata Manager Repository Reports, there must be a Reporting and Dashboards Service enabled in the Administrator tool. Additionally, the Metadata Manager repository must be configured as a reporting source for the Reporting and Dashboards Service. The Reporting and Dashboards Service creates Metadata Manager Repository Reports using the Jaspersoft application. For more information about the Reporting and Dashboards Service, see the Informatica Application Service Guide. You can run the Metadata Manager Repository Reports from JasperReports Server. You can also run the reports from Metadata Manager to view them in JasperReports Server. To access JasperReports Server from Metadata Manager, click View Reports in the toolbar. Metadata Manager launches JasperReports Server. Click View > Repository > Service Name to view the reports. The following table describe the Metadata Manager Repository Reports: Report Name Report Folder Path Report Description Report Usage Associations by Package This report lists all associations in a specified package. Use this report to get information about all associations in a specified package. Associations identify the relationship between classes in a metamodel. Attributes and Metrics for Dimensions \Business Intelligence This report lists attributes and metrics by repository, schema, and dimension to which each attribute or metric belongs. Use this report to analyze the metrics and attributes in a Business Intelligence type of repository. Class Associations This report displays all associations for the specified From Class. This report displays all classes associated with the specified From Class. Use this report to identify all classes associated with a particular class. Use this information to determine whether changing a particular class would affect any other associated classes. 7

8 Report Name Report Folder Path Report Description Report Usage Class Attributes This report displays all attributes of the specified class, including its inherited attributes from parent classes. Use this report to get information about all attributes of a particular class. Attributes can be defined at the class level or inherited from parent classes. If the attribute is inherited from a parent class, you can use this report to identify the parent classes also. Classes The Classes analytic workflow displays all classes in the metamodel and enables you to explore its contents, such as its attributes and packages. Use this report to get information about all classes organized by originator and package. Further analysis may include using this analytic workflow to understand the attributes, inheritances, and associations related to each class. Constraints for a Table \Data Modeling This report lists constraints, such as Unique Key, Primary Key, Foreign Key, and Rule constraints, by the table for which the constraint is defined. It also provides the columns that participate in each constraint. Use this report to analyze table constraints. For example, use this information to determine the impact of changing a table or column. Constraints for a Table \Database Management This report lists Database repository constraints, such as Unique Key, Primary Key, Foreign Key, and Rule constraints, by the table for which the constraint is defined. It also provides the columns that participate in each constraint. Use this report to analyze table constraints in a Database repository. For example, use this information to determine the impact of changing a table or column. Element Statistics Usage This report provides the total number of elements for each class in the specified repository instance. Use this report to get the total number of elements, organized by class, in a particular repository instance. This report could be used as a first-level data dictionary report to understand the different types of metadata objects that are loaded into the Metadata Manager Warehouse. List of Hierarchies \Business Intelligence This report lists the hierarchies in a schema. Use this report to get the list of hierarchies in a schema. PowerCenter Mappings by Folder \Data Integration This report lists PowerCenter repository mappings by the folder in which each mapping resides. Use this report to analyze the mappings and the transformations they contain. 8 Chapter 1: Metadata Manager Repository Reports

9 Report Name Report Folder Path Report Description Report Usage PowerCenter Workflows by Folder \Data Integration This report lists PowerCenter repository workflows by the folder in which each workflow resides. Use this report to analyze the workflows and the objects they contain. Report Document Details (Attributes, Metrics) \Business Intelligence This report lists attributes and metrics contained in the report documents. Use this report to see the list of attributes and metrics and the expression used to compute it in a report document. This report only applies to sources like Business Objects. Reports \Business Intelligence This report lists reports by repository and folder to which it belongs. Use this report to list reports by folder in a repository. Repository Type The Repository Type analytic workflow displays all repository types in the metamodel and enables you to explore its contents, such as its packages and repository instances. Use this report to get information about all repository types in Metadata Manager. Further analysis may include using the analytic workflow to understand the classes, associations, and packages in Metadata Manager. You could also use this analytic workflow to understand the different repository instances for the specified repository type and the element statistics for each repository instance. Schema Details (Attribtues, Metrics) \Business Intelligence This report lists attributes and metrics by repository, schema, and dimension to which each attribute or metric belongs. Use this report to analyze metrics and attributes in a repository. Tables and Views Detail (Column Level) \Data Modeling This report lists tables by Model, and table column information, such as name, precision, scale, and datatype. Use this report to analyze columns of tables. Tables and Views Summary \Data Modeling This report lists tables and views by Model. Use this report to list tables and views. Tables, Views and Indexes Detail (Column Level) \Database Management This report lists the columns of database tables, views and indexes by schema. Use this report to analyze columns of tables, views and Indexes in a database repository. 9

10 Report Name Report Folder Path Report Description Report Usage Tables, Views and Indexes Summary \Database Management This report lists database tables, views and indexes by schema. Use this report to list the tables, views and indexes in a schema. Unused Classes by Repository Type Usage This report lists all classes that are not used by the metadata elements in the repositories of the specified repository type. Use this report to identify all classes that do not contain metadata objects for each repository instance. Synonyms for Database Structures \Public Folders \Database Management This report lists database synonyms and the tables using those synonyms. Use this report to analyze synonyms and the tables where the synonyms may be used. Deprecated Behavior Effective in version HotFix 4, Informatica deprecated the Reporting and Dashboards Service. Informatica will drop support for the Reporting and Dashboards Service and JasperReports Server in a future release. If you upgrade to version HotFix 4, you can continue to use the Reporting and Dashboards Service. Informatica recommends that you begin using a third-party reporting tool before they drop support. If you used JasperReports to create reports, you can purchase a license from JasperSoft to continue running the reports when Informatica drops support. If you install version HotFix 4, you cannot create a Reporting and Dashboards Service. You must use a third-party reporting tool to run Metadata Manager reports. 10 Chapter 1: Metadata Manager Repository Reports
