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:
- Jazz
Reporting Service must
be installed and registered as an application with the Jazz Team Server.
- Jazz
Reporting Service must
be running.
- A default data source must be configured for Jazz
Reporting Service,
and you must be connected to it.
- You must have Jazz administrative
privileges or be a report manager.
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
- In a browser window, open the Setup page: https://server:port/rs/setup
- 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.
