Reporting on Common Metadata Assets

[ray.wurlod]

Is there any easy and straightforward way to obtain a list of all common metadata assets in the Repository, ideally using a command line tool (but I'll tolerate a GUI if absolutely necessary, provided the results can be written to a file)?

you might want to experiment with istool and the -preview option.
