Designing templates with IBM Rational Team Concert as a data source
Report designers can use Document Studio
to import data source schemas and build report templates.
Before you begin
Tip: The Rational® Publishing Engine installation
includes a set of sample reports. Before you begin to publish documents,
you can explore this example document generation scenario. See Creating the REST sample template.
Get
familiar with the Rational Team Concert™ REST
service and the various URLs needed to extract data from Rational Team Concert when
you are using Rational Publishing Engine.
See Reportable REST API wiki: Resources provided by Rational Team Concert.
The Rational Team Concert reportable
REST API is different from many traditional domain APIs. Rather than
providing resource URLs that point to specific items, such as a single
work item or a single build result, the reportable REST API provides
access to monolithic resources. Each monolithic resource is a container
resource, which represents the result of a query for one or more elements.
- foundation: Common artifacts such as project areas, team areas, contributors, iterations, and links.
- workitem: Work item artifacts such as summaries, categories, severities, and priorities.
- apt: Agile Planning artifacts such as team capacity, resource schedules, and absences.
- generic: Generic artifacts.
- build: Build artifacts such as build results, build result contributions, build definitions, and build engines.
- scm: Source control artifacts such as streams and components, as well as stream sizing deltas.
