122 <strong>Getting</strong> started <strong>with</strong> <strong>InfoSphere</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Architect</strong><br />

The physical data model report configuration runs. Since you created an HTML report, your default<br />

browser opens the physical data model report. The files for the report are also saved to the location that<br />

you specified.<br />

This report contains some of the information about your tables and columns. The HTML report is shown<br />

in Figure 6.15.<br />

Note that the physical data model report does not actually display the data <strong>with</strong>in the database. This type<br />

of report is useful to analyze the structure of your model <strong>with</strong> other members of your team.<br />

Note:<br />

The report configuration is saved to your workspace, as well. If the design of your model<br />

changes, simply run the report configuration by clicking Run -> Report -> Report<br />

Configurations, and select the report configuration that you want to run.<br />

6.4 Generating XSLT reports<br />

Let's produce one more report that contains all of the information about the logical data model that you<br />

have already created. This report will gather all of the information about the logical data model so that you<br />

can present detailed information to your team.<br />

To create an XSLT report:<br />

1. Switch to the <strong>Data</strong> perspective by clicking Window -> Open Perspective -> Other. The Open<br />

Perspective window opens. Select the <strong>Data</strong> perspective.<br />

2. From the main menu, click Run -> Report -> Report Configurations. The Report Configurations<br />

window opens.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
