In other systems I've worked in there were internal tables that acted as metadata reporitories, or at least held information about the files available to the system. As an example, I slightly modified a chunk of code found on the internet to search SQL Server 2000's Master/System table structure for a passed string to create a searchable index of our Stored Procedures. Additionally, I used something similar to search our tables for columns with a particular string in their name (or just show all the columns in a given table).

I'm hoping WebFocus has something similar. I have 2 specific cases in mind that I want to try to resolve.

1. Produce a list of FEX files present in the system with both their Name and Title. I.e. 'proc123.fex' = 'Report: Goat Sales by Region'

2. Similar to #1, produce a list of Domain names to their Titles. I.e. 'Managed Reporting\Domains\GoatReports\Standard Reports\Report: Goat Sales by Region' to 'goatrpts' (assuming 'goatrpts' is the internal shortname of the 'Goat Reports' Domain).

I hope what I'm asking makes sense, and if there is another way to skin this cat or if this is not the IB/WF/DS way of solving problems like this, I'm all ears.

You can try to use the MR Extract Utility which is documented in the MRE Administration Manual which you can download from the doc link in the upper righthand corner of this page. This utility creates files you can associate to masters and then write reports.
