QUESTION:
When I attempt to generate a report containing information about my Oracle8 model in 
Rose I
get a blank document.  What am I doing wrong?

ANSWER:
Consider a model that contains a few (oracle8) tables.  It is possible to generate a 
report
for this model by selecting the Tools->Oracle8->Reports menu selection.  However, 
sometimes
when you try to generate a report in this fashion you will end up with a blank 
document.
This is because you do not have your tables mapped to a schema component (a component 
with a
<<Schema>> stereotype.  If you do encounter this problem then the way around it is as
follows:

1.  Do a Tools->Options and look under the Notation tab.  Make sure that the Default
Language is set to Oracle8.

2.  Create a component in your model and set its Stereotype to be Schema.

3.  Create classes in your model, stereotype them as desired and then map them to the
<<Schema>> component that you created in the last step.  You can map your classes to 
the
<<Schema>> component from the component specification's Realizes tab or by simply 
dragging
the classes over to the component in the browser.  A class that is mapped to the 
component
will appear in the browser as follows:
Class Name (Component Name)

4.  Now select the Tools->Oracle8->Reports menu selection.  You can opt to generate a 
report
that sorts the classes either by Class Name or by Stereotype.  Check all of the desired
options and click OK.  A text report will be generated.  The generated report will 
have a
.or8 extension.

Note how only the classes that are mapped to the Schema component are included in the
generated report.  In the earlier case when a blank report was generated this probably
happened because no classes in the model were mapped to a Oracle8 <<Schema>> component.
