Templates operate with data schemas, not with actual data
sources. You can add a data source schema to an open template.
Before you begin
You can use the Schema Discovery feature to create a data
source schema and then add it to the template.
Procedure
- Choose one of the following methods to open the Add
data source schema wizard:
- In Document Studio, click .
- In the Outline view, click .
- In the Data Source Schemas view, click
the Add data source schema icon
.
- In the Add data source schema welcome
window, click Next.
- Select a data source schema:
- In Schema type, select the type
of the schema from the list. You can select one of the following data
sources:
- Generic XML
- REST
- REST v2
- Rational DOORS
- Rational DOORS structure
- IBM Rational Tau
- In Schema file field, click Browse to
select the path for the schema file. The schema can be
on the local file system or can be a URI that is accessible from the
computer. You must provide a full path.
Tip: To construct
a specific resource type schema, open your data source schema and
from the
.xml file take the URI for a particular
resource. Then, add
metadata=schema to the
end of the URI. Examples:
- http://server:port/fp/resources/workspaces/4/modules/1/elements/?metadata=schema
- https://server:port/jazz/rpt/repository/workitem?metadata=schema
To ensure that you are receiving a complete list of returns
from a Rational Quality Manager feed
data source, you must set the schema type as Generic XML and add ?abbreviate=false to
the end of the URI. Example: https://rqmserver:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/JKE
Banking (Quality Management)/testcase?abbreviate=false
- In the Data Source ID field,
type a name for the data source in the template. For
example, DOORS 1.
- Click Next.
- In the Summary window, review the
information and click Finish.
