Configuring the ClearQuest Client to run reports from Crystal Reports on the server

By default, the ClearQuest® Client attempts to run reports created with Crystal Reports locally by using an embedded API.

Before you begin

Running data-pull reports remotely from the ClearQuest Client, requires that these reporting components have been installed and configured in your ClearQuest environment: For more information, see Configuring the Crystal Reports Designer for ClearQuest reporting.

Procedure

To run Crystal Reports from the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports with the Report Launcher for ClearQuest, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the ClearQuest Reporting preferences page by clicking Window > Preferences > ClearQuest > Reporting.
  2. Select the Enable remote reporting check box.
  3. In the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Report field, specify the remote reporting host for the Report Launcher for ClearQuest based on the following URL template:
    http://server-name:<port>/cqwebreport/CRInvoker
    Where <port> is the port defined in the profile used to deploy the application. The default ClearQuest profile uses port 12080. The default Websphere Application Server profile uses port 9080.

What to do next

After making these changes, the ClearQuest Client runs reports from the ClearQuest Report Launcher using the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports.
