Rational ClearQuest version 7.1 lets you customize your deployment
to support the traditional data-push reporting model, the new data-pull model,
or both.
Consider the following questions when planning your deployment:
- Do you have an existing ClearQuest deployment that uses Business Objects
Crystal Reports to design and run traditional data-push reports?
- Do you want to move to the new data-pull reporting model while continuing
to support existing Crystal Reports data-push reports?
- Do you want to migrate your existing Crystal Reports data-push reports
to data-pull reports?
- Do you want to create new data-pull reports by using one or both of the
following reporting systems:
- The Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) reporting system,
which is included with the Rational ClearQuest Client
- The Crystal Reports reporting system, which you can purchase from Business Objects
- Which ClearQuest clients and client operating systems do you support?
