How to create RPE data source from "types" REST API call in DNG?
The REST call below returns an xml payload with all of the metadata type configuration for a DNG project area. It would be enormously helpful to be able to use this REST API call as a data source in RPE to be able to generate a Requirements Management Plan. How can I get a hold of the XML Schema for this to be able to create the data source in RPE?

I was able to create an Excel VBA macro that logs into the Jazz server, invokes the "types" API call, parses the XML output and documents all of the DOORS Next metadata in different tabs. This is an even better solution than RPE, since RPE does not provide an Excel output option.
The link gives you the "type system" information about the project, which I have personally seen to be used in IBM internal investigation only. I'm not quite sure whether it's meant to be consumable for general use. What kind of Requirement Management Plan are you going to generate? Why is the usual reportable REST API not sufficient? https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RRCReportableRestAPI
