Searching folders in Disco Admin

Question

Hi,
I have multiple business areas opened in Discoverer Administrator. How do I search for a folder name in these business areas? I just want to make sure before creating another folder that something similar does not exists.
Thanks.

Hi
The code you need is:
select distinct
obj_name Folder_Name,
ba_name BA_Name
from
eul5_ba_obj_links bol,
eul5_bas ba,
eul5_objs obj,
eul5_expressions exp
where
bol.bol_ba_id = ba.ba_id
and bol.bol_obj_id = obj.obj_id
and exp.it_obj_id = obj.obj_id
and exp.exp_type in ('CI','CO')
and obj_hidden = '0'
order by obj_name;
This will display your folders in ascending along with the Business Area(s) that they are in. It also suppresses hidden folders. If you want to see the hidden folders as well just comment out the line that says "and obj_hidden = '0'"
The above code works for Discoverer 9.0.2, 9.0.4 and 10.1.2. If you have the 4.1 version of Discoverer the code looks like this:
select distinct
obj_name Folder_Name,
ba_name BA_Name
from
eul4_ba_obj_links bol,
eul4_bas ba,
eul4_objs obj,
eul4_expressions exp
where
bol.bol_ba_id = ba.ba_id
and bol.bol_obj_id = obj.obj_id
and exp.it_obj_id = obj.obj_id
and exp.exp_type in ('CI','CO')
and obj_hidden = '0'
order by obj_name;
Hope this helps
