 Hi team,


Currently I need to read a configuration file (text file, xml, ...) to RRDG templates before exporting the module information in DNG as a report. The configuration file will be the configuration of what needed to be exported when RRDG template is on running.

So, is it possible to read-in a text file within RRDG?

You can create your own RRDG templates using Rational Publishing Engine (RPE) and seek input from user each time when the user runs the report.
user inputs allowed in RPE reports

CSS Style sheets can be used create rich text reports. CSS Style Sheets are external files.
External xml configuration files also can be used. These files need to be deployed in the Liberty profile of the WAS Server. Not sure if it can be read from the reporting folders where dta files are deployed in DNG Server.
