I had opened an SR about this and Oracle advised that it can be done using UDML however I found no documentation about it. Has anyone ever used it please?

As you say, taking it one step further and parsing the file into a metadata database sounds very interesting, as would having an IDE for UDML development. One for Oracle when they eventually get around to a single BI IDE with single BI repository, with maybe UDML being the declarative language for BI metadata... regards, Mark Hi Adrian,

The standard documenting tool does not include all the objects so I have created a parsing code to read the UDML into a database of metadata. I would like to get my hands on an IDE for UDML. I have also found that running through the UDML gen process can remove some glitches that appear in corrupted rpd files. Hi Mark

I have seen strange things happening while using the nqudmlexec.exe on an online repository where multiple users are checking in and checking out. As you said, it is not supported. I have used this primarily for downgrading repositories. For example, a repository that has been created in 10.1.3.3 cannot be used from a 10.1.3.2 Administrator console. In that case, if one is not using any advanced features specific to 10.1.3.3, then i create the UDML, change the version and create the repository again. Thanks, Venkat Hi Mark,
