Importing Jazz Reporting Service ready-to-use reports

Jazz Reporting Service provides a collection of ready-to-use reports for agile tracking and planning, such as blocking work items, build health, and prioritized defects. To get started with these reports, you must import them from the Jazz Reporting Service Setup page. After you import the collection, the reports are available as widgets that team members can add to Jazz™ dashboards.

Before you begin

The following conditions must be met:

About this task

Widgets on dashboards encapsulate reports from different technologies and can display reports from several sources:
  • OpenSocial gadgets that follow the OpenSocial.org standard
  • Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT), which are used by Rational® solution for CLM (CLM) and Rational Quality Manager (RQM)
  • Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence and Rational Insight using IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence

The ready-to-use reports that Jazz Reporting Service provides are OpenSocial gadgets. On Jazz dashboards, these gadgets are called widgets.

If you import the ready-to-use reports again, for example, after applying a fix pack to Jazz Reporting Service, reports with the same name in the catalog (repository) are overwritten. Ready-to-use reports in existing dashboard widgets will automatically use the updated reports.

Procedure

  1. In a browser window, open the Setup page: https://server:port/rs/setup
  2. Click Import ready-to-use reports.
    Note: To import a collection of reports that are provided to you in an archive (.zip) file directly by IBM, click Import additional reports.

Results

By default, the imported queries and reports are added to the Jazz Reporting Service catalog, which is available from any Jazz dashboard that has a friend relationship with Jazz Reporting Service.

Team members with permission to modify Jazz dashboards can access these reports by selecting widgets from the catalog and adding them to their dashboard.
