You can generate reports that are in the style of IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine or IBM Rational Focal Point™ by using different
report templates. To generate reports, you must have report templates.
About this task
To generate reports that are in the style
of Rational Publishing
Engine reports, add report templates as
.dta files
that are authored in Rational Publishing
Engine. To generate reports that are in the style of Rational Focal Point reports, add report templates
as XML.
Procedure
- Click .
- Click Add Template.
- In the Add Report Template window,
select a report target corresponding to the available template source
format:
- To specify the template in XML, select Rational
Focal Point.
- To upload a template file that was authored in IBM Rational Publishing
Engine Document Studio in .dta format, select Rational
Publishing Engine.
- To upload a template file
created in Telelogic Publishing Engine, select Telelogic
Publishing Engine.
Note: For reports that use Telelogic Publishing Engine as the
report target, the generated output from Rational Focal Point is
a compressed file instead of a completed report. The compressed file
contains the template, XML, and images. To complete the report, you
must run Rational Publishing
Engine Document Studio Launcher.
- In the Title field, type a title
for the template.
- In the Description field, type a
description for the template.
- Specify the contents of the template. Depending on the
report target, specify the contents as either XML or as an uploaded
file that was created in Rational Publishing
Engine or Telelogic Publishing Engine.
- If you specify the contents as XML, click Validate
XML to verify the consistency of the XML.
- Click OK.
