About the Data Source Connections

Publisher reports rely on XML data. Publisher supports retrieving data from a variety of data sources.

The following data sources connections must be first set up in Publisher through the administration page:

  • JDBC and JNDI connections

    You can use the provisioned JDBC and JNDI connections. Only to create audit reports, you are allowed to create JNDI connections to the system-defined data sources to access the audit data source (AuditViewDB). JDBC connections to external databases aren't supported.

  • Web Service connections

  • HTTP XML connections

  • Content Server connections

You can also take advantage of the following data sources:
