To retrieve the usage types such as "Identifier", "Fact" for column in java sdk

[Kalidasan]

Hi,
I'm working on JAVA based application, which will be used to analyse the impacts on COGNOS report and also help to calculate the similarity ratio between reports based upon the columns used among the reports. Still am struck up with way to retrieve the "Usage" types of the columns from the XML format of the report. I need to retrieve the usage details of the column such as "Attribute" or "FACT" or "Identifier" using the JAVA SDK. Please let me know your thoughts on this issue.


Thanks in Advance,
Kalidasan R.
