BIRT reports access data stored in one or more BIRT data objects. A BIRT data object is a .data file in a volume and contains one or more data sets. The REST API can access the data from a BIRT data object store directly using the /dataobject resource. You must provide the name of the dataset within a BIRT data object store to access the data.
The following sections provide an example of using each dataobject resource as a curl command.
