There are three methods to generate model information in IDA.
A. Export the model in IDA for Power Design or Erwin, then work them in them.
B. Rename .ldm file to .xml, then work on it as a XML (XMI) file format, you can use XML editor such as Stylus Studio with XSLT.
C. Generate model information with BIRT report as below:
You can use the reporting feature to generate reports to help you analyze a data model or package. You control the contents of the report, and can choose the file format.
You can use the reporting feature to create report designs, but you can generate a report without knowing how to design them. For information about designing reports, see the topic "Customizing data model BIRT reports."

Generating model information reports with BIRT report designs
You generate BIRT-based data model reports by creating and running report launch configurations that specify a BIRT report design.
You generate BIRT-based data model reports by creating and running report launch configurations that specify a BIRT report design.
To create and run a report launch configuration based on a BIRT report design:
1. In the Data perspective, click Run > Report > Report Configurations.
2. In the Report window, right-click the type of report to launch; then click New.
3. In the Name field, type a name for the new launch configuration.
4. Specify the report to use:
§ To use a report that is provided with your IBM® product, select Built-In and click Browse to specify the name of the report.
§ To use a report from another source, select Location and click Workspace or File System to specify the location and report file name.
When you select a report, the Data Sources field lists the data sources that are specified in the report. When you click a data source in the Data Sources field, the Instance Models field lists the associated instance models.
5. To add a data source or instance model to include in the report, click in the Data Sources field or Instance Models field and click Add. To remove a data source or instance model, select it and click Remove.
6. Define how to handle the report output:
§ Specify a location for the report output.
§ Select the report format. The available values are Microsoft Word (DOC), WWW hypertext (HTML), Adobe Reader (PDF),Postscript (PS), Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), and Microsoft Excel (XLS). The Microsoft® Word format is compatible with Microsoft Word 2003 and later.
§ Select whether to overwrite existing files in the report location without a warning.
7. To specify how to save, display, and launch the report configuration, click the Common tab. Note that you can save the report configuration as a shared file with launch as the file name extension.
8. To generate the report, click Report.
When the publishing process is complete, the report is displayed automatically if the appropriate program is available on your computer.
You can access the report directly from the location that you specified for the report output.
Ref.: Customizing data model BIRT reports
Several Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) data model report design templates are available in this product. These templates provide data sources and data sets for different types of data models. The data sets organize elements from the data sources into tables that BIRT can use. You can customize these default template designs to meet your business needs.
Your IBM® product extends the BIRT component so that the BIRT user interface and capabilities are available to you.
To customize an existing BIRT report design template, you modify it in the BIRT report designer. For more detailed information, refer to the following technote: Obtaining and using data model information to customize a BIRT report design.
- Open the Report Explorer view by clicking Window > Show view > Other, expanding the Reporting node, and selecting Report Explorer. Several categories of data model report projects are displayed.
- Expand a data model report category.
- Create a copy of the built-in report to modify it. BIRT report designs have RPTDESIGN as the file name extension
- Modify the design as needed. For more detailed information, refer to the following technote: Obtaining and using data model information to customize a BIRT report design. You can also refer to the BIRT documentation, which is available in this product from the Help > Help Contents menu, or from the link below.

How to obtain alias information for your BIRT report design
This document will guide you through the process of how to add alias information to a BIRT report design.

2. Click on Window > Show View > Other.
3. Expand the Reporting node and double-click Report Explorer to open the view.
4. Double-click Physical Data Model Report to open its report design.
5. In the Data Explorer, expand the Data Sources node, right-click the Data Source node and select Edit to edit the data source.
6. Click the Add button to add a data source.
7. Click Browse Workspace to add an existing model as a data source.
8. Expand the Miscellaneous Data Models node, highlight Database Model.dbm and click OK. In the Load Resource window, click OK again.

10. Right-click the Data Sets node and select New Data Set to create a new data set.
11. Enter Alias in the Data Set Name and click Next.
12. Ensure that the Use the data instances defined in data source check box is selected, and click Next.
13. Expand the db2 node, highlight the DB2Alias > Table node and click the right arrow (>) button.
14. Enter instanceOf(//*, “DB2Model:DB2Alias”) as the XPath expression to select all aliases. Ensure that the Automatically select the Type (in the 'Type' Combo control) check box is selected, and click OK.
NOTE: Please enter the XPath manually.
15. Click Validate XPath to ensure that the XPath expression is valid. Click Next.
16. Highlight the name:EString node in the EMF Structure tree and click the right arrow (>) button.
17. Enter Name in the Column Name field and click OK.

19. Repeat step 16 and 17 to add description, aliased table name, schema name and label one at a time.
20. The Column Mapping view should now look like this. Click OK to exit the wizard.
21. In the Data Explorer view, Alias data set fields should appear under the Data Sets node.
22. Drag and drop the Alias Name onto the report design.
23. Click the Preview tab to preview the report.
24. At the bottom of the report, the name of the alias should be displayed.
25. Click the Layout tab to go back to the layout view. Highlight the alias name and delete it.
26. Drag and drop a Table object from the Palette view onto the end of the report design. Enter 5 when prompted for the number of columns.
27. With the table highlighted, change the width to 82%. Any width bigger than 82% will be cutoff in the print out.
28. Highlight the first two rows of the table by holding the Shift key and left mouse click on the cells of the first two rows. Click the Border node in the Properties view. Change the width and click on all four buttons for borders.
29. Drag and drop the fields onto the second row of the table one at a time.
30. The table should now look like this:
31. With the table highlighted, click the Visibility tab in the Properties area and enter the information as shown below. This step makes the table invisible if there is no alias in the report design.
