This article was previously published under Q183632

SUMMARY

The report generation feature, which generates a data dictionary from a model using Microsoft Word OLE Automation objects in Visual Modeler 1.0 and 1.1 was removed from the menu in version 2.0. The functionality can be enabled by modifying the vs.mnu file. This article explains how to add/enable the report generation feature manually; however, it is not a supported feature and should be used at your own risk.

MORE INFORMATION

To enable the report generation menu option, use Notepad to edit the file vs.mnu, found in the Visual Modeler installation directory. Add the following lines to the top of the file:

   Menu Report
   {
      Separator
         Option "&Generate Report..."
         {
            RoseScript .\ReportGen.ebx
         }
   }

Save the file.

If Visual Modeler is running, you will need to shut it down and restart so the new settings can take effect.

The Generate Report option now appears under Report on the Visual Modeler menu bar.
