Summary:A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for dynamically creating report mapping relationships at runtime within an information technology infrastructure. When report definition comprising a generalized description of desired data without any database-specific properties is generated, a relationship mapping definition based on the generalized description in the report definition is created, wherein the relationship mapping definition comprises data connection information for accessing the data sources containing the desired data. The relationship mapping definition is then used to initiate a connection to the data sources. Once the desired data has been acquired from the data sources, a report may then be created using the acquired data.
