Generating model information reports with XSLT templates

You generate XSLT-based UML model reports by creating and running report launch configurations that specify an XSLT report template.
Before you can generate a report with an XSLT template other than the built-in templates, you must register the template. See the topic "Registering XSLT report templates for the current release."

To create and run a report launch configuration based on XSLT report templates:

  1. In the Modeling perspective, click Run > Report > Report Configurations.
  2. In the Report window, right-click XSLT Report; then click New.
  3. In the Name field, type a name for the new launch configuration.
  4. To specify the data to include in the report, specify the location of a model file and the model element to generate a report for.
  5. Specify the report to use:
    • To use a report that is provided with your IBM® product, select Built-In and click Browse to specify the name of the report.
    • To use a report from another source, select Location and click Workspace or File System to specify the location and report file name.
  6. Specify a location for the report output.
  7. To specify information about how to save, display, and launch the report configuration, click the Common tab. Note that you can save the report configuration as a shared file with launch as the file name extension.
  8. To generate the report, click Report.
When the publishing process is complete, the report is displayed automatically if the appropriate program is available on your computer.

You can access the report directly from the location that you specified for the report output.
