Can anyone tell me where the saved matrixes are stored, and perhabs provide an example on how to access and export these from e.g. VBA?

NB: When I am using the phrase "Saved Matrixes", I do not refer to "User defined Matrixes".

Thanks, in advance!

I think the individual intersections are recorded as individual definitions (eg EBP/ENTITY) and the matrix itself is built by the presentation layer.

Hi Peter!

Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately I'm not sure that the definitions alone are enough, since these as far as I know doesn't tell you which rows and columns to include!

When I e.g. loads one of my SV-5(Activity / Sys.Function) saved matrixes via the "Matrix Browser", the rows and columns that I originally selected, are included in the matrix. This is the meta data I'm am looking for.

Hi Morten,

Peter correctly stated that each matrix cell intersection is stored as a separate definition instance (eg EBP/ENTITY, EBP/ROLE).

This definition will contain the appropriate row and column entry, aswell as the type of intersection (whether a simple intersection or a CRUD value or List value).

Some of these intersecting definitions are used by more than one matrices.

Possibly, in your case, using "Function/Activity" definition as the intersecting definition?

Hi,

What about the rows/columns for which no intersection-definition exist? The empty rows/cols does likewise provide some infomation about the enterprise...

Hi Morten,

The way it is implemented, that would result in storing too much unnecessary information (i.e. Entities x Applications).

When an intersection is removed in the matrix, the corresponding intersection-definition is not deleted.

Some users would like automatic deletion.
The vendors view is that it may contain some useful information.

It would be nice to easily access all the information.

Hi Arif,

Actually I'm not sure that you understand my problem. Let me try to explain my self a little better.

When you generate a matix the "Matrix Filter screen" lets you select rows and columns that should constitute the matrix. What I need is some way to find out which cols / rows that were selected before the matrix were saved.

As far as I understand thee matrixcell objects are not created until you fill-in that cell in the matrix - Right? Thus if I loop through the matrixcell objects, I will not be able to find cols / rows without at least one filled cell.

Regards
Morten Lund

Hi Morten,

The saved matrices appear under definition "USER MATRIX", but this contains no information.

When running the Standard SA Report on this definition, properties "SAMatrixRows" and "SAMatrixCols" do display some information but these are just numbers equivalent to the number of rows/columns.

May be VBA interrogation will produce better results.
