Integrating

Learn how to use your product as a data source when you are generating reports with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing. Engineering Publishing supports Generic XML, REST v1, REST v2, and IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® data sources.

The data source schema for each data source type is structured differently. If you are unsure which data source type your product is, in the Integrating section, refer to the Designing templates topic for your product. Each topic includes steps for adding a data source schema with the appropriate data source type selection. The data source schema URL is verified before you complete the wizard to add it. If you happen to select the wrong data source type when you are configuring the data source schema, you receive an error and cannot complete the wizard. If this issue occurs and you know that your URL is correct, use a different data source type.

If your product supports Reportable REST v1, Reportable REST v2, or proprietary API syntax, the Designing templates topics also include related information on configuring native filters to retrieve subsets of data, rather than an entire data set, by using the appropriate syntax.
