Nikolai:

I was able only to get a connection to FB using DTP, but nothing appeared 
below the Schemas node in the DSE. In the past when we've seen this sort 
of situation, it usually means that a custom catalog loader needs to be 
added. I don't know enough about FB to say how much work this would be, 
but DTP would be happy to collaborate with the FB community to make this 
functionality available.
