About designing and running reports

You can design and run reports to display Rational ClearQuest data in various formats.

The procedures and choices available to design and run reports vary depending on your ClearQuest client.

On the ClearQuest for Windows client version 8.0 and later, the procedure to design and run traditional data-push reports using the Crystal Reports runtime and the Crystal Reports Report Designer Component (RDC) is no longer supported because the RDC component has been deprecated. To continue maintaining and improving Crystal Reports data-push reports created with previous versions of ClearQuest, migrate these reports to the Crystal Reports data-pull model. See t_rpt_migrate_crystal.htm.
Note: If you are able to obtain and install a copy of the RDC component from SAP, you can continue using it to run Crystal Reports data-push reports in the ClearQuest environment. To edit existing report formats and create new report formats, you must purchase and install the Report Designer Component for Crystal Reports XI Release 2.

You create a data-push report by applying an existing query to an existing report format for the record type that you want to report on. You can also create a data-push report by using an existing query result set and a report format.
