IBM Rational Common Reporting allows you to create custom reports that use powerful Cognos® reporting server technology. You can create new custom reports, or you can copy and modify the set of predefined reports that are included.
Before installing Rational Common Reporting, you must install Rational Quality Manager and prepare the common reporting database. It is also recommended that you develop or import some test assets before installation.
If you plan to use external tools for requirements or defect management, such as Rational Team Concert, Rational ClearQuest®, Rational Requirements Composer, or Rational RequisitePro®, you should set up the integrations with those tools first.
