Using a Report to Obtain Object IDs

You can create a report and then run it to obtain the object names and object type IDs.

About this task

For example, the CONTENT_TYPE_ID column of the sample report, shown in the following figure, lists all the available object type IDs that you could use. Let’s say you want to use the OP_RPS_AUX.IS_REL_PARENT_CHILD_PRIM function. The P1 and P3 parameters of this function require the object type IDs of the child and parent object type. You could use, for example, 18 in P1 (child RiskAssessment object type ID) and 4 in P3 (parent SOXBusEntity).
