The information about fex, mas and othe r files within the MRE is hold in an HTML file per domain.
We have a procedure that reads this file and puts the info in a database.
What we did I not do is use the flags that are in that same file. These flags do say something about the creator and the time it was created and changed.

A small part of this file is this

 
(HREF='app/121227fa.fex' MRFLAG='createdby=Frank%20Terlien%20%28fter%29,createdon=1356613310512,lastmodby=Frank+Terlien+%28fter%29'>Details per externe
manager)

app/121227fa.fex
createdby=Frank Terlien (fter)
createdon=1356613310512
lastmodby=Frank Terlien (fter)
displayname: Details per externe manager
 
(HREF='app/121212fa.fex' MRFLAG='hidden,createdon=1355317709421,createdby=Frank+Terlien+%28fter%29,lastmodby=Frank+Terlien+%28fter%29'>121212FA)
 
app/121212fa.fex
hidden
createdon=1355317709421 (is this zulutime)
createdby=Frank Terlien (fter)
lastmodby=Frank Terlien (fter)
dispayname: 121212FA



Between brackets is the original HTML code line and after that line the wanted fields of info
The several flags are not always in the same sequence .

What we want is some defines that break up the lines into better readable info

Any suggestions ?

I know Francis once posted something about the interpretation of this file, but that was on version 5.3 and since then something changed.

Hi,
I don't have the 7.6 documentation handy - but in WF 7.7 there is a "Managed Reporting Extract utility" (WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual).
The Managed Reporting Extract utility allows you to extract data from your Managed Reporting Repository to generate reports about users, groups, domains, and domain content.
I have used this in the past for basic documentation etc.
I'm not sure if this was available in 7.6, or if it will give you the info that you are after - but perhaps worth looking at Smiler


WebFOCUS 8.2.06 mostly Windows Server

Twanette,
Thanks for this answer. I need to change my sign since we already have version 7.7.03
But this indeed gives me te details, but the field flags holds all te details and I need to extract that field. Based on the comma in it.
The search goes on....
