What datasource type is used in the default report templates for DNG?


David Clark (2341150) | asked Nov 16 '16, 12:04 p.m.
 I am trying to replicate the dataSource used in the printModuleBook.dta found in DNG.

The unique thing is it has a smaller schema than the normal DNG DB schema, but also has some fields I need access to.

How was this created?

views > dataSource > artifact > fields > field

Or can someone tell me how I can figure it out on my own? Where is the dataSource definition?

Thanks,

You can check the .dsx(document specification) files created by DNG under <SERVER_INSTALLATION>\server\tomcat\temp\rrc_reports. If you open the .dsx file in RPE Launcher, you will find the actual "views" data source URL used for document generation.

This URL will be something like
https://<server>:9443/rm/publish/views?resourceURI=_LuJCayarEeOcGLR6nwopVQ&moduleURI=https://<server>:9443/rm/resources/_LuJCayarEeOcGLR6nwopVQ&projectURI=https://<server>:9443/jts/process/project-areas/_EcuF8hBsEeOL8ZVCaKK9GQ&viewCacheId=ddf236f6-f80d-49f0-ae8a-de02f0b792d4&showAttributes=false&showEmbedTitles=true&size=100

You can notice that request made by the publish report does several stuff - It includes  the project, the module and the cached view. Also, currently you cannot make a public call against "views" schema and DNG REST API does not support "views" artifact type.
