About Metric Miner
Metric Miner is an HPDM utility that allows you to:
•
Execute a SQL statement or query and view the results within HPDM.
•
Save the statement or query as a report that includes descriptive information, statement
parameters, and version information.
•
Run multiple reports at the same time (subject to workstation memory limitations). Each
report is self-contained and displayed in its own tab.
•
Reuse, share, and link reports.
Metric Miner replaces an earlier reporting product called Neoview Reports and has some features
in common with the SQL Whiteboard utility, which is still supported within HPDM. You can
use Metric Miner with Neoview platforms running releases earlier than Release 2.5, provided
that SQL statements that you enter are supported on the earlier platforms.
