Summary:A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for abstracted dynamic report definition generation within an information technology infrastructure. When a request to generate a report is received, report definition associated with the requested report is identified, wherein the report definition comprises a generalized description of desired data in the report without any database-specific properties. The resources which are able to provide the desired data using report instance parameters in the report definition are then identified. Responsive to determining the resources that are able to provide the desired data, the generalized description in the report definition is translated into report content generation engine-specific implementation details and actions. The translated report content generation engine-specific implementation details and actions are executed to obtain the desired data from the resources. A report may then be generated based on the resulting output.
