You can create report templates and generate reports that
describe data contained in the Rational® Rhapsody® models
and projects that a Design Management application references. To create
report templates and to generate the reports, use the Rational Publishing Engine product
on a computer that can access the Design Management application. This content applies to version
7.6.1 or later.
Before you begin
You must complete the following steps
before you can create report templates and generate reports:
- Install Rational Rhapsody Design Manager on
a computer with a fully qualified host name (not localhost). The base
URL for accessing the Design Management Jazz™ application
is https://fully_qualified_host_name:port/dm.
One or more Rational Rhapsody project
areas must exist on the server, and at least one model must exist
in a project area.
- Install IBM® Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine on
a client computer that is configured to access the Design Management
application. If the Design Management application has existing projects
that contain Rational Rhapsody models
that you want to use, you do not have to install the import engine.
- Install Rational Publishing Engine,
version 1.1.2 or later, with its Document Studio and Launcher applications,
on a client computer. This product requires a separate license.
As a template author or a report generator, you must have
an account on the Design Management application that has privileges
for accessing the Rational Rhapsody project
areas that contain the models to be used in the reports. In the Rational Publishing Engine applications,
the Design Management account user name and password are specified
by using the authentication type named "OAuth".
About this task
The following high-level steps describe how to generate
reports by using
Rational Publishing Engine to
access resources on the Design Management application:
- In Rational Publishing Engine Document
Studio, create a report template that uses data type schemas that
are downloaded from a Design Management application.
- In Rational Publishing Engine Launcher,
generate a report by configuring a report template with the resources
that are obtained from a Design Management application.
For more information about creating reports about Rational Rhapsody resources
in the Design Management application, see the related link to the
reporting tutorial, and in the tutorial see Lesson 11.
