API Name | Description |
---|---|
Reporting | The Reporting API is a public facing web service that allows clients read-only access to their Cornerstone data via the Real Time Data Warehouse (RTDW). It adheres to the OData protocol (http://www.odata.org/) and dynamically adjusts to reflect any client's schema. Currently, it allows access to all the reporting views in the report schema (report.vw_rpt_*), which are the data source for custom reporting in the Cornerstone application. |
