Data sources

Data sources can be Rational® DOORS®, Rational Tau, generic XML data sources, and other Rational products that expose the Rational REST Get Specification. You can configure these data sources to generate documents. By configuring a data source, you locate and access the different properties that can be configured for generating the documents.

The data source instructs the document generation to fetch data from a supported tool. The data from the tool is in the syntax of .xml files, commonly defined as XML Schema Definition (.xsd) files. The standard .xsd files are available in the RPE_HOME/source directory of Rational Publishing Engine.

A dynamic data source is a data source that is configured at run time and not statically in the document specification. Dynamic data sources use information read from the user through variables or calculated from other data sources.
