Configuring the ClearQuest Client to run Crystal Reports from the ClearQuest Web server

Beginning with version 7.1, you can use the ClearQuest® Report Server for Crystal Reports Web application to run Crystal Reports on the ClearQuest Web server.

Before you can run Crystal Reports from the ClearQuest Web server, your administrator must configure the report server to include a database profile that matches the database profile used by the ClearQuest Client. For example, if the ClearQuest Client runs a report from a connection with a schema repository named 7.1.0 and a database named SAMPL, the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports must have access to the same schema and database.

Alternatively, your administrator can update the configuration file crconfiguration.properties for the report server to specify a default ClearQuest Web server. In this case, the ClearQuest Web server must include a database profile that matches the database profile used by the ClearQuest Client. The ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports configuration file is located in the following directory:
$Rational_Common%\cq-profile-dir\installedApps\WebSphereAppServer-cell\RationalClearQuestWebReport.ear\CQWebReportModule.war\WEB-INF\classes
where the variables have the following definitions:
%RATIONAL_COMMON%
Rational® common installation directory
cq-profile-dir
ClearQuest Web Server profile directory
WebSphereAppServer-cell
WebSphere® Application Server cell directory
