Reports workflow

You can run a report at any point during product development. Reports help teams visualize the work that is in progress, for example, for a milestone or for a product release. Reports can be created in printed or electronic formats.

You can create a report with the default, tabular sample report, which is described in Creating and running reports from views.

To create a report with different output, such as bar charts and Gantt charts, you need Rational® Publishing Engine. Rational Publishing Engine is not included with this tool; separate installation and license are required. Contact your server administrator to verify that the installation is completed and to determine the license server path that you must use to connect to the license server. If you have not already installed Rational Publishing Engine, you or your administrator must install it and verify that you can connect to the licensing server.

For Rational Publishing Engine usage information, see Authoring document-style reports in the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management product documentation.

To use custom report resources (templates) in Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, you must perform the following operations.

Note: If your team is not conversant in the SPARQL query language, contact your IBM® service representative to create custom queries for your team. After the queries are created, your representative can map your custom report resources (templates) to the SPARQL queries to prepare reports for a team to use.

The following description discloses the high-level workflow when creating custom report resources and queries for use in Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager:
