Custom attributes in Rational Publishing Engine
I am trying to find a way to access custom attributes in the Rational Publishing Engine. We are trying RPE out and have been unable to produce the reports we need with it because the custom attributes are not showing in the schema. I thought maybe they would have to be defined (like in RRDI) but I cannot find a way to do this.
Any help or advice?
Thanks

Assume you were using RPE to generate report through RTC.
You are right, if you need to produce the reports for the customized attributes, you need the associated schema.
For example, I generate RTC WI status report, I need the schema
https://jazzdev04.torolab.ibm.com:9443/jazz04/rpt/repository/workitem?metadata=schema
to resolve the data source
https://jazzdev04.torolab.ibm.com:9443/jazz04/rpt/repository/workitem
Would you try to search once more whether the customized attributes already been reflected in the Schema?
Besides the WorkItem Schema , there is some other RTC schemas you might used, and try to look for your customized attributes under them if no found under WorkItem.

Note that RTC currently collects only simple custom attributes. That is why, complex custom attributes are not available in datawarehouse. As suggested above, RPE can connect use REST API to report on custom attributes. See more details about Reportable REST API https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsRESTAP
I double checked to make sure the location/paths were comparable to your examples. I am able to get the schema
loaded and there is a folder in it that says customAttributes. There are some generic looking items there (attributeType, etc) but not anything I built in TeamConcert.
I had gotten this far with an instruction sheet I pulled off the IBM site. My job in migrating our info to TeamConcert has been to duplicate the reports we do from ClearQuest and ReqPro and I have gone the gamut with RRDI and BIRT first (they are unable to pull the large HTML fields). Now I'm trying RPE, but I can't seem to get the custom attributes.
