One way of getting what you need is to load the meta-model application
system that is
supplied with the product. It is a Des2K load file located at
ORACLE_HOME\des2_60\model\mod_1_2.dat ( I'm still on 1.2, yours might be 1_3.
In the Object Navigator, create a New application system ( File - New ),
then
load in the model ( File - Load ). It loads in all of the repository
views and their
(virtual) foreign keys. You can search the repository, or draw your own
diagrams
from there.
BTW the View/Element Definitions in the On-Line Help is also VERY
useful, as it gives
limited definitions, and valid values for the properties.
Also, the part numbers on the printed diagrams ( which I find invaluable ) are
Business Planning Model A32523-1 Business Requirements Model A32523-1 Database Design Model A32525-1 Database Administrator Model A32524-1 Module Design Model A32526-1
I don't know whether or not you can order these.
