Workgroup Modeling Reports

CA ERwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition › Workgroup Modeling Reports

Workgroup Modeling Reports

Modelers typically work from a common set of libraries, models, and submodels, and must be able to share information about these objects with other users. One way to share information is by using reports, which details the information and definitions for a model.

You can generate predefined reports to view the contents of specific libraries and models, view the changes and conflicts for specific models, and view the security structure for the database. You can use either the standard or customized reports to see detailed information for a specific model.

All users can run a number of reports in CA ERwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition to view the contents of specific libraries and models, and use standard and customized reports to see model information in more detail.

Note: Some reports described can only be generated by the Mart Administrator.

CA ERwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition includes the following predefined reports:

Global Reports

The following table describes the global reports that can be run against the mart:

Report Name	Description
Attributes By Name	Returns attribute information for a specified attribute name, including library, and its owning diagrams and entities
Column Usage and Info by Name	Returns column usage information for a specified column name
Column Usage by Name and Definition	Returns column usage information for a specified column name, including definition text
Derived Models	All models created using the Derive Model process
Diagrams with Subject Areas	All diagrams that contain subject areas
Diagrams	All diagrams
Entities by Name	Returns entity information for a specified entity name, including its library, its owning diagrams, and its owned attributes/columns
Libraries	All libraries in the mart
Library Diagram Entity	All diagrams, including all entities in use by a diagram, sorted by library
Library Diagram Version	All diagrams, including their versions, sorted by library
Library Diagram	All diagrams in a library, sorted by library
Mart Domains	All domains used by diagrams, sorted by diagram and library. Includes the domain name, domain parent, domain parent name, and domain data type.
Subject Areas	All subject areas, including subject area members, sorted by diagram for the current library
Text Properties	Text properties for all objects in use, sorted alphabetically by object class name, including each object name and property name, value, and sequence
User-defined Properties	All user-defined properties for the current open model, including UDP name, class name, and default value
Users	All users assigned to the mart, including user numeric ID and server login

Diagram Reports

The following table describes the diagram reports that can be run against models the mart:

Report Name	Description
Definitions	All definition text for objects in the diagram
Diagram Subject Areas	All diagram subject areas
Domains	All diagram domains
Entities	All diagram entities
Entity Attributes	All diagram attributes that are included in an entity
Entity PK FK	All diagram primary keys and foreign keys by entity
Entity Subtypes	All diagram subtypes by entity
Entity Supertypes	All diagram supertypes by entity
Entity Table Attribute Column Datatype Nulls	All data type null values for entity attributes and table columns
Index Members	All diagram index members
Index Properties	All diagram index properties
Relationships	All diagram relationships

Model Validation Reports

The following table describes the model validation reports that can be run against models in the mart:

Report Name	Description
Attributes without Definition	All attributes that have no definition text
Attributes without Domains	All attributes that have no domain association
Diagram Attributes without Definitions	All diagram attributes that have no definition text
Entities whose Primary Keys are all Foreign Keys	All entities that use foreign keys as their primary keys
Entities without Definitions	All entities that have no definition text
Entities without Primary Keys	All entities that have no primary keys
Many-to-Many Relationships	All many-to-many relationships
Unattached Entities	All entities that are not part of a relationship, including entity name, diagram name where it is used, and library, sorted alphabetically by diagram name

Other Reports

The following table describes other reports that can be run against the mart:

Report Name	Description
Diagram Contents by Class	Lists the contents of each diagram, sorted by object class
Diagram Locks	Lists the lock state of all open models in the library, including model name, lock state, user name, and user profile

Note: Any changes you make to a diagram in the mart must be saved to the mart so it can be included in any reports you generate.

Report results are viewed and managed in the CA ERwin Reports Viewer. In addition to using the predefined reports available on the Tools menu, you can also use either the Bulk Editor to view and edit object properties in the current model and export results to a CSV file, or use the Query Tool to execute predefined or customized SQL SELECT statements against a model.

Bulk Editor: The Bulk Editor provides the selection, validation, and maintenance of model object metadata, permits reusable customization (option sets), and realtime access to model changes. Export results or selected rows to a CSV file. You can use the Bulk Editor to edit a small set of properties over a large number of objects. Changes and updates are immediately committed as you make them, field by field.
Query Tool: The Query Tool is used to query the repository through executing SQL SELECT statements against a local model or a model in the mart. You can use the Query Tool to create your own .QRY report file. Save your option set locally to the model or as an XML file. Export your results to a CSV file. You can execute a query against the objects and properties in the model, the metadata defining those objects and properties, and the action log that records the changes that are made to your model during the modeling session. You can create new queries or paste text from another source (such as a .SQL file) into a query. Although the Query Tool provides a built-in query interface in CA ERwin Data Modeler, you can also use any third-party reporting tool that has ODBC capability to query CA ERwin Data Modeler modeling data.
