After using SA for a few years I have some things I'd like it to do. I don't seem to be able to find anything on add-ins on the Web so I though I'd ask what, if anything, people out there are doing to extend it with vba/macros?
Some things are time consuming and complex and, dispite having processes it's still a manual intensive effort to keep things in sync, so it doesn't always get done. So a couple of things I'd like to see are... Item 1. a userprops GUI based editor/parser Item 2. an automated sync/compare for physical models/RDBMS that could run ovenight so that when changes are detected the relevant people could be emailed with the details for action. Item 3. possibly the same issue but, an automated sync/compare for infrastructure models/SNMP that could run ovenight so that when are detected the relevant people could be emailed with the details for action. Item 4. the ability to extract a definition, edit it and reload it, e.g. extract a database table to a spreadsheet, edit the definition/columns it an reload it. Worst case I might be forced to build them myself ![]() Regards George |

With regards to item 4 - surely this is already available by exporting definitions - the output is a csv file.
I use this extensively for bulk updates of items such as tables, entities, attributes etc. I especially find it useful when I have changed the userprops to add a new field |

Agreed, you can export definitions.
I guess I wasn't detailed enough in my comment, taking a table as an example I want a user defined subset and selectable table list rather than all the 120+ attibutes exported and wild card selection - which is of course better than nothing ![]() To paraphrase what I said, "Some things are time consuming and complex and still a manual intensive effort" |
