Any explanations about CM store tables?

[Eag. E]

There are some guild about C8 CM content store's tables. But it seems like C11 has new tables and method to use the tables. How can I get explanations of these tables? I want to get all reportID from CS (which belong to myself as login user). Thanks very much.

Hi,
If you know where is your content store and able to access it?
Then you can search for the table name details in web as what exactly it is storing.

Each individual user information is viewable inside administration.

As far as I know, some particular table store the information of LDAP authentication in the tables.

Hi thanks for replying. But the table name are very hard to understand, for example, you might see CMOBJPROS34, CMOBJPROS36 ... I have no idea what is the meanning of these tables without a reference.

Hi,

This is deliberate on IBM's part. They don't want people messing around in the content store, and they don't publish a schema or a reference to what is held where. If you go in there, it is at your own risk and it's up to you to try to figure out the right places to find what you're looking for. They also reserve the right to change things in there without notice, so any solution you build today might stop working in a later update to the product.

Probably not what you wanted to hear :)

Hi,

I completely agree with MFGF and IBM recommends working with SDK fot this kind of need, but while I'm more comfortable with SQL than JAVA, I did some stuff with SQL but of course this is at your own risk.

You have to know that almost everything is stored in CMOBJECTS and this table uses cyclic relationships between CMID and PCMID with other tables.

If you want to isolate only reports, you have to join this table with the CMCLASSES and choose the correct class name

As reports can have multilanguage names you should join the CMOBJECTS with CMOBJNAMES_BASE and select only the default name.

For the login user part, you will need to go to find the references between ObjetctID and Groups or Users and that part is more complex.

That is not easy to work with Content Store, so again if you are a good JAVman try to do it with SDK. Some good samples can be found in <Dispatcher Install Path>\sdk\java\
