In which BI table WorkBooks are physically stored?

Question

Hi
I think the BW workbooks are stored as ALE objects (Just like we can do in Access) in some table. I want to know the name of the table. I looked into all the tables where I can find the GUID of the workbook. But then I have to open my Bex to run the workbook. If I can download from the table, that would be helpful.
If the workbooks are not stored as a file in a table, what could be the way the workbook is loaded, with some preformatting etc? Is there any other way where I can see the list of these workbooks and download them. (Metadata repository can show me the list but I cannot download the workbook)

Answer 1

header table : rsrwbindext
select single * from rsrwbindext into  wb
    where workbookid = workbookid and objvers = 'A' and langu = 'E' .
actual workbook contents : rsrwbstore
they are stored as binary stream
select * from rsrwbstore into table wb_tab
        where workbookid = wb-workbookid.
      clear:file_data, output, wb_line .
      loop at wb_tab into wb_line.
        clear file_data .
        file_data = wb_line-clustd.
        concatenate output
        file_data
        into output.
      endloop.
