Before you can generate a traceability report, you must
modify a predefined traceability report template in IBM Rational® Publishing Engine Document
Studio. You must update the data source configurations to reflect
the user credentials for reporting in applications for the Rational
solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM). The predefined
report templates are in the installation directory of IBM® Rational Focal Point™, Rational
Focal Point installation directory\ReportTemplates\.
Before you begin
- Make sure that you have a supported version of Rational Publishing Engine Document
Studio, version 1.1.2 or later and a valid license to edit a report
template. You can install Rational Publishing Engine on
the same server as Rational Focal Point.
- Create local copies of the traceability report templates in Rational
Focal Point installation directory\ReportTemplates\.
Keep the original templates for reference.
- Make sure that you have the credentials for the users who are
configured for reporting in the CLM applications.
Procedure
- Start Rational Publishing Engine Document
Studio.
- Click .
- Browse to your local copy of the applicable traceability
report template, such as FPProj-FPBusNeeds-RRC-StatOfCompliance.dta,
and then click OK.
- In the data source configuration, in the username and password properties
for each dynamic data source that is outside of Rational Focal Point,
enter the credentials for the report users for the CLM applications.
The dynamic data sources that are outside of Rational Focal Point begin
with any of these prefixes: RRC, RTC, or RQM.
- Make sure that the container query strings correspond to
the attribute names in Rational Focal Point. For example, in the following query string of the FP_BusN container,
the attribute name is Requirements: Business_Needs/attributes/Requirements/calmLink/calmLinkEntry/link
- If the Integration link or Link list attribute names in Rational Focal Point differ
from the attribute names in the container query strings of the report
template, update the container query string according to the attribute
name. Add new containers with the new attribute names, and then manually
add the subsequent information.
When you build the
new data source configuration, use the original traceability report
templates that are included with Rational Focal Point for
reference. For more information, see Creating a container element in the Rational
Publishing Engine information center.
- Save the template.
