Using Pathmaker Reports The Pathmaker product supplies a set of Enform queries that you can use to produce
reports about the contents of a Pathmaker project catalog. These reports were
designed to allow you to examine different subsets of information found in a
Pathmaker project catalog. For example, one of the queries lists all the help text
associated with a particular requester, another shows all the DDL records and
NonStop SQL tables referred to by services in a project, and another shows the
generation status of every server in a project catalog.
