UDML2XMLThe UDML storyOracle BI EE provides administrators and developers with UDML, a non documented and unsupported but (I think) RELIABLE feature. So... we can get UDML statements by running nqUDMLgen commands (many thanks for this feature).
An Integration storyI cannot help it... I like the idea of sharing information across applications, more so if we have the chance to expose a wealth of intelligence, semantics and metadata.
The Parser storyOk, so... sometimes it's not enough getting the UDML version of the repository... we need to rapidly integrate metadata or data (in the case OBIEE objects sourcing other systems). And... this is my kind of business case... a tool extracting metadata to some independent format (this time, a long-standing W3C recommendation), XML.
So, it's just: a parser utility, generating XML structures out of OBIEE UDML repository statements.
