macosx support for RSA Modelling tool

RSA 9.1/9.6/9.7 work fine on macos but we can't install the FTM FSM model tools on top. It would be really nice if we could get mac os support for RSA, as well as plan for App Connect Enterprise support on macos once FTM supports it.

Storing of enriched/additional information outside of the standard data model

Allow for FTM Console to point to a read on standby instance of database

Automate BIRT Report generation from FSM Model

FTM recently provided a very useful command script to automate extraction of FSM SQL and Config SQL from the FSM Model. A similar script to automate generation of the BIRT Report from FSM Model would also be useful.
