Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for controlling collection of data from heterogeneous data sources is disclosed. Data is extracted in a data source independent manner using at least two types of control messages to hide implementation details for the heterogeneous data sources. The method receives from the heterogeneous data sources, a request for a first control message type, which defines data to be extracted from the heterogeneous data sources. Responsive to receiving the request, the method sends a first control messages type to the heterogeneous data sources. The method receives from the heterogeneous data sources, a second control message type that includes data extracted from the heterogeneous data sources that was defined in the first control message type. The method also stores, in a data store, the received data identified in the first control message type and that was extracted from the heterogeneous data sources.
