Missing tables and procedures for Birt - 1.0

Compatibility: v2 v3 Cloud
What's new? Release Notes
ID: com.castsoftware.birt.missingtable

Description

This extension is designed to analyze SQL queries embedded in Birt code and create “missing” SQL and Birt table / procedure objects to represent SQL objects that have not been delivered for analysis. Links to these objects are also created. The primary goal of the extension is to ensure that a full transaction is identified by CAST, resulting from the SQL queries embedded in the Birt code, even if none or only part of the referenced SQL objects are delivered for analysis.
