Measured tools (21)

• schema_stats

  Overview of the Ross ERP 8.0 schema in one call: object counts by type, module list, total/distinct columns, audit-twin pairs, and the top tables/columns/modules. Use this first to orient before drilling in.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_objects

  Browse and filter Ross ERP 8.0 objects (tables / views / procedures / functions). Filter by type, database, module, or a name substring; paginate with limit/offset. Returns object summaries — use lookup_table for full detail.

  Parameters:

  • q — string — Name substring filter, e.g. GL_
  • db — string — Database filter, e.g. FIN or MAN
  • type — string — Object type filter: table | view | procedure | function
  • limit — integer — Max objects (default 100)
  • module — string — Module filter, e.g. GL or PO
  • offset — integer — Pagination offset (default 0)

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• find_column

  Look up a single column by exact name across the whole Ross ERP 8.0 schema: its description, valid values, notes, every table that carries it, and any foreign-key roles it plays.

  Parameters:

  • name (required) — string — Column name, e.g. POSTING_DATE or GL_ACCOUNT

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• lookup_table

  Full schema for a Ross ERP 8.0 object (table / view / procedure / function): columns with type, nullability, keys, descriptions and valid values, foreign keys in and out, related tables, and usage.

  Parameters:

  • name (required) — string — Object name, e.g. GL_ACCOUNTS or ACCOUNT_TYPES

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• search_columns

  Search the Ross ERP 8.0 schema by name (and column descriptions). Returns matching objects and columns.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — Max results per group (default 25)

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• search_all

  Cross-domain search in one call — spans schema objects, columns, UI facilities and programs at once. Use this when you don't yet know which layer a term lives in (e.g. 'check register' is a screen, a program and a table). Scope to one layer with type = object | column | facility | program (default all); limit is per domain.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Search text, e.g. check register or posting_date

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• graph_neighbors

  List the knowledge-graph neighbours of an object — the programs, tables, views and procedures directly connected to it, with relationship type and direction.

  Parameters:

  • name (required) — string — Object name, e.g. GL_ACCOUNTS

  • limit — integer — Max results (default 25)

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• lookup_facility

  Full detail for one Ross ERP 8.0 UI facility by code: its name, system, database, class, GEMBASE program, help text, menu paths, the physical table cluster it touches — core (the working set the screen is built on) and reference (control/lookup tables) — and its call graph: the facilities this one invokes (calls) and the facilities that invoke it (calledBy), parsed from the program source.

  Parameters:

  • code (required) — string — Facility code, e.g. AP_A_002

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• table_facilities

  Reverse lookup: which UI facilities (screens/reports/programs) touch a given Ross ERP 8.0 table — split into core (facilities whose working set includes it) and reference (facilities that use it as a control/lookup), each with how many times the program source accesses it. Answers 'what screens read or write this table?'.

  Parameters:

  • table (required) — string — Table name, e.g. GL_ACCOUNTS

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• facility_programs

  Cross-link a UI facility to the program(s) that implement it — 'what code runs this screen?'. Each program carries a match label: declared (named by the facility's menu entry, authoritative) or titleId (TITLE id equals the facility code). Complements lookup_facility (which gives the facility's tables and call graph). Metadata only — no source body.

  Parameters:

  • code (required) — string — Facility code, e.g. AP_A_002

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• program_stats

  Overview of the Ross ERP 8.0 program catalog — every application-source program (metadata only, no source body): total programs, how many declare a TITLE id, how many carry Data Dictionary table links, total program→table edges, read/write counts (withWrites programs, writeEdges program→table write edges), base vs vendor-core split, program→program call-graph counts (programs with outbound calls, total call edges) and how many back a menu facility, plus the module and type breakdowns. Use this first to orient before browsing programs.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_programs

  Browse and filter Ross ERP 8.0 programs (application source, metadata only). Filter by module (ap, gl, ic, sop, ...), type (a=archive, i=inquiry, m=maintenance, r=report, s=server, l=load, u=utility, ...), layer (base | vendor-core), titled (only programs that declare a TITLE id), or a substring of basename/title; paginate with limit/offset. Returns summaries — use lookup_program for full detail.

  Parameters:

  • q — string — Substring of basename or title, e.g. check_register
  • type — string — Program-type letter, e.g. r (report), m (maintenance), i (inquiry), s (server)
  • layer — string — Source layer: base | vendor-core
  • limit — integer — Max programs (default 100)
  • module — string — Module filter, e.g. ap, gl, ic, sop
  • offset — integer — Pagination offset (default 0)
  • titled — boolean — Only programs that declare a TITLE program-id (default false)

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• search_programs

  Search Ross ERP 8.0 programs by basename, TITLE program-id, title, module or type. Use this to find the program behind a task, e.g. 'check register' or 'ap_a'.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Search text, e.g. check register or AP_A_002
  • limit — integer — Max results (default 25)

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• lookup_program

  Full detail for one Ross ERP 8.0 program, by TITLE program-id (e.g. AP_A_002) or source basename (e.g. ap_a_check_register): its module, type, layer, declared title, internal PROCEDURE_FORM procedures, the Data Dictionary tables it references — each classified read vs read-write (a write is a FIND IN.../LOCK=WRITE update, an ADD, or a DELETE) with a writeCount — its call graph (the programs it invokes and the programs that invoke it, from PERFORM "GEM<mod>:<prog>"), the menu facilities it backs, and — for programs with no TITLE label — a display name carried from the menu facility's registry description. Metadata only — no source body.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — Program id or basename, e.g. AP_A_002 or ap_a_check_register

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• table_programs

  Reverse lookup: which standard Ross ERP 8.0 programs reference a given table (validated against the Data Dictionary). Answers 'what code touches this table?' — complements table_facilities (which answers 'what screens touch it?'). Metadata only — no source body.

  Parameters:

  • table (required) — string — Table name, e.g. GL_ACCOUNTS

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• program_facilities

  Reverse of facility_programs: which UI facilities (menu screens / reports / inquiries) a program backs — 'what screens does this program run?'. One program often serves several facilities. Lookup by TITLE id (e.g. AP_I_001) or basename (e.g. ap_i_vendors); each facility carries the same declared / titleId match label.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — Program id or basename, e.g. AP_I_001 or ap_i_vendors

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared
