Supported data sources

Rational® Common Reporting is a cross-product application that can use data from several sources.

These sources for data can be accessed:

For products that have in-built support for REST services, the generic XML data sources can be defined to return XML data directly from the products. An example of such a data source is IBM® Rational Quality Manager. Similarly, for products that store data in XML files, generic XML data sources can also be defined. An example of such a data source is a Microsoft® Project XML file. For products that do not have in-built support for REST services, the Rational Common Reporting Data Service framework can be used to create REST-based data sources that return XML data over HTTP. An example of such a data source is IBM Rational ClearQuest®.
