Creating a resource

You can create a resource. A resource is a specific entity in the product data source; for example, a defect in the IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® database. A resource can have an XML schema associated with it.
Before you begin
A resource belongs to a resource group. Ensure that there are resource groups under which you can place the new resource.
