Abstract

A method includes transforming, by a report connector according to at least one input mapping rule of the report connector, first input data received by a first application to create second input data for a specific report of a plurality of existing reports of a second application. The method also includes providing, by the report connector, the second input data to a report application programming interface (API) capable of providing an interface to the report of the second application. The method also includes receiving, by the report connector, first output data from the report API, the first output data based on the output data from the specific report of the second application. The method also includes transforming, by the report connector according to at least one output mapping rule of the report connector, the first output data to create second output data for the first application.
