Configuring the Lifecycle Query Engine as the data source for Jazz Reporting Service

Before users can run Jazz Reporting Service reports, as an administrator with Jazz™ administrative privileges, you must connect to the data source that is registered with Jazz Team Server. After you connect to a data source, you can change its name and description, or update the password.

Before you begin

The following conditions must be met:

Connecting to the LQE data source

After you install Jazz Reporting Service, you must connect to the default data source for reporting so that users can run reports. By default, Jazz Reporting Service connects to the data source that is registered with Jazz Team Server.

Before you begin

The Lifecycle Query Engine must be installed.

Procedure

  1. In a browser window, open the Setup page: https://server:port/rs/setup
    Note: If you upgrade to Jazz Reporting Service version 5.0.1, and the context root that you are using is SPARQL_Gateway, open the setup page at https://server:port/SPARQL_Gateway/setup.
  2. Click Connect to data sources.
  3. Optional: To view or edit the data source properties, click Data Sources on the product banner or in the Connect to data sources pane.

Results

The Setup page confirms that Jazz Reporting Service can communicate with the LQE. You can now run reports against the data in the LQE.

Adding Lifecycle Query Engine as the data source for Jazz Reporting Service

In general, do not add other data sources if an LQE is already registered with the Jazz Team Server. However, if an LQE is not registered, or to run reports against a different LQE, an administrator with Jazz administrative privileges or a report manager can add one.

Procedure

  1. In a browser window, open the Setup page: https://server:port/rs/setup
    Note: If you upgrade to Jazz Reporting Service version 5.0.1, and the context root that you are using is SPARQL_Gateway, open the setup page at https://server:port/SPARQL_Gateway/setup.
  2. Click Data Sources on the product banner or in the Connect to data sources pane.
  3. Click Create a Data Source.
  4. Complete the following steps:
    1. In the Name field, enter Lifecycle Query Engine.
    2. Enter a description of the data source. For example, you might include the data source URL.
    3. In the Data Source Type section, ensure that Lifecycle Query Engine SPARQL Endpoint is selected.
    4. In the SPARQL data source field, enter the Lifecycle Query Engine URL.
    5. Click Save.

Results

The LQE is displayed in the list of data stores that are used by queries. Return to the Setup page to connect to this data source, as described in the preceding section.

Editing a Lifecycle Query Engine data source

In general, do not edit LQE properties other than the name or description because doing so can have implications for data collection jobs and reports. Instead, consider adding a data source.

Before you begin

You must be connected to an LQE. You must be an administrator with Jazz administrative privileges or a report manager.

Procedure

  1. In a browser window, open the Setup page: https://server:port/rs/setup
    Note: If you upgrade to Jazz Reporting Service version 5.0.1, and the context root that you are using is SPARQL_Gateway, open the setup page at https://server:port/SPARQL_Gateway/setup.
  2. Click Data Sources on the product banner or in the Connect to data sources pane.
  3. In the Actions column beside the data source, click Actions, and select the action to complete.
  4. If you edit any of the data source properties, click Save.
