In the Metadata Manager, you can generate PACE Reporting analysis reports and retrieve the PACE Reporting metadata in an Excel spreadsheet. These reports include Datamart Usage, Field Attribute Sources, Metadata Usage, and Orphan & Duplicate reports. You can run the Datamart Usage and Field Attribute Sources reports for all, or selected Datamarts and sources, respectively.

The Datamart Usage report retrieves Datamart models and their corresponding field attributes and the associated underlying database columns. This report also contains the underlying columns used by all field attributes (nested field attributes). A nested field attribute is an attribute used by another field attribute such as in a Detail Calculation.

This report includes the following metadata:

  • Datamart Field Attributes. Retrieves the names of all or selected Datamarts and the Datamart Model names within the Datamarts. It also retrieves the field attributes used in the Models, as well as the Field Attribute Type, Field Attribute SubType, Custom Field Formula, Field Attribute ID, and the underlying database column of the field attribute.
  • Nested Field Attributes. Retrieves the names of the nested field attribute and Field Attribute Types and SubType, and the underlying database column.
