1. A computer implemented method executed by a processor for processing abstracted report definitions within an information technology infrastructure, the computer implemented method comprising:

  • responsive to receiving a request to generate a report, identifying a report definition associated with the requested report, wherein the report definition comprises a generalized description of desired data in the report without any database-specific properties;

    identifying resources which are able to provide the desired data using report instance parameters in the report definition;

    responsive to determining the resources that are able to provide the desired data, translating the generalized description in the report definition into report content generation engine-specific implementation details and actions by mapping relationships between the generalized description of desired data in the report definition and the identified resources;

    executing the translated report content generation engine-specific implementation details and actions to obtain the desired data from the resources; and

    generating the report using the obtained data.
