Reporting Information Stores

Question

Is there a way to generate a report that shows the entities and attributes that are mapped to an information store and/or structure and/or data flow? I cannot find the data in the reporting repository schema and this is rather limiting. I'm using it to model and as-is process for a customer where there are several spreadsheets being populated by manual process. I have mapped these to a logical representation of the data and modelled them as Information Stores but cannot include their content in a report as required by the customer.
I am using SQL Dev DM 3.3 (Early Adopter)

Hi,
thanks for reporting the problem - I logged a bug on mapping between attributes and info structures not being exported to repository.
all attributes in processes that output to the Information Store are assumed, together, to define the content of an Information Store?more precisely - all attributes in incoming and outgoing flows for that store. So there is no restriction process to outputs to only one store.
You can collect attributes in Info store using DMRS_FLOWS(SOURCE_OVID,DESTINATION_OVID,FLOW_OVID),DMRS_INFO_STORES(INFO_STORE_OVID) and DMRS_PROCESS_ATTRIBUTES(Flow_OVID)
It would be great to cross reference DFD components to logical model objects in a more usable wayUsage of attributes in incoming and outgoing flows (and related processes) is included in predefined entities report - and it's based on information in DMRS_PROCESS_ATTRIBUTES table
