The data sources are the product data that is extracted
during the extract, transform, and load (ETL) process. To prepare
the data sources for the ETL process, you need to define the connections
to the data sources.
Before you begin
Determine the type of data that you will use.
- If you plan to use IBM® Rational® ClearCase®, IBM Rational ClearQuest®, or IBM Rational RequisitePro® as a data
source, make sure that you have installed the IBM Rational Insight Data Services
on the data services server. For information on installing Rational Insight Data Services,
see the Installing and Upgrading topics.
- If you plan to use IBM Rational Quality Manager as
a data source, make sure that you have the Rational Quality Manager web server access
location and privilege.
- If you plan to use IBM Rational Team Concert™ as
a data source, make sure that you have the Rational Team Concert repository
database access location and privilege.
- If you plan to use Microsoft® Project
as a data source, ensure that you have the XML file and the XML schema
of the projects. For information on how to download and save these
files, see the Release Notes®.
About this task
To prepare the data sources for the ETL process, define the
