I am trying to create custom reports from the resource analyzer data, but can't seem to find the master files. I found them in the server directory c:\srv76\wfs\catalog, but I don't see them anywhere in DevStudio.

Does anyone know how to pull the master files into DevStudio so I can create a report from them?

Thanks,


Kevin

It depends on your Resource Analyzer repository. This could be Oracle, etc. You can see this in the Resource Management Configuration. Is it Focus/FDS or Relational? If it is Relational there has to be a connector set up to that database from the WebFocus Server. Then you can create metadata on those tables the same way you create metadata on any data source. If it is a Focus repository, you could probably just move the metadata to a directory under the Approot.

You can go to the reporting server web console and create synonyms for them. Ours are DB2 and we have done that.

However, you might want to find the ones in home/catalog and copy the defines in the master to your synonyms. They are very useful in decoding the data.

Ours are set to the default FOCUS database, so there is no connector to set up. What is meant by moving the metadata to a directory under Approot (where is Approot)?

I am a bit lost. I am very new, and a novice admin/developer. If you have any detailed information on how to obtain this data for reporting, it would be greatly appreciated.

Approot is the is web server alias pointing to where ibi/apps is pointing to. You would copy the masters from /WebFOCUS/ibi/srv76/wfs/catalog to a directory under /WebFOCUS/ibi/apps.

Then please update your profile signature for this forum with your product suite, release, and platform(s). This detailed information will help us help you better. For instance, I'm on Unix so my directory slashes go the other way. Smiler

Anyway, I would suggest that you start reading if you are going to be an admin. Start with the installation guide then go to the administration guide for your platform. If you do not have a doc cd, these manuals are available for download. See the doc link in the upper right hand corner of this page.

And see if you can get some training.

Good luck! And welcome to WebFOCUS.
