IBM® Rational® Insight is
an enterprise reporting solution. With Rational Insight, you can
use the live and historical data of different data sources such as Rational ClearCase®, Rational ClearQuest®, Rational RequisitePro®, Microsoft® Project, and so on, to generate
cross-product standardized reports.
Rational Insight works
as follows:
- The source data is extracted, normalized, and loaded onto a common
data warehouse, which contains live and historical data.
- The templates and models for the business intelligence reports
are defined.
- The data from the data warehouse is pulled into the report templates
and models, and displayed to the user.
With the
Rational Insight reporting
tool , you can analyze and manage business data from across any of
the supported products. The
IBM Rational Insight
Data Services adapters
for these products put the product data into the common warehouse.
The systems needed for the
Rational Insight
Data Services adapters
are:
- A data service server that has the adapters to extract the source
data from the supported products.
- A data warehouse to extract the source data from the product server,
and store it.
- A Web application server to manage and run reports, queries and
dashboards.
- A developer system to create, run and view reports.
