I am producing a document using Rational Publishing Engine which need to extract information from Rhapsody. I looked into several sources of information about their integration (e.g. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27035704&aid=1), but it's not clear to me how to extract data from Rhapsody's Table View. I know that is possible to obtain an image of the table, but I need to access structured data.
I managed to extract all of the other information I need, but I am not able to identify which of the child node of the TableView rhapsody data source in RPE represents the elements of the table, or if such a node exist.
Is this operation possible?
no, you can iterate over the Table Views you have and then print each cell with the columns available in that View (which are defined by a given Table Layout).
So you could end up creating specific Layouts in RPE for each table layout you have... to avoid this, you could use "DataAsXML" which does all for you and allows you to have a generic template. Look for examples here: http://merlinscave.info/Merlins_Cave/Models/Entries/2017/5/26_RPE_Templates_for_Reporting_on_Harmony_Models.html
