Rational® ClearQuest® includes
a complete reporting solution, enabling users to design, test, manage, and
share reports that highlight their ClearQuest data.
ClearQuest version 7.1 introduces the following reporting feature changes
when using the Rational ClearQuest Web client, Rational ClearQuest Client, and Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse:
- An updated model for running traditional data-push reports created with
Crystal Reports. ClearQuest version 7.1 introduces the ClearQuest Report Server
for Crystal Reports, a new Web application that supports running Crystal Reports
data-push reports on the ClearQuest server.
- A flexible new reporting model for creating data-pull reports, which includes
the following software components:
- The Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) Report
Designer, which is integrated with the Rational ClearQuest Client
- The ClearQuest Reporting
Driver, which supports designing data-pull reports
- The Report Server for ClearQuest,
a new Web application that supports running, managing, and sharing of data-pull
reports created by using the ClearQuest Reporting
Driver and the BIRT or Crystal Reports reporting systems
On the Rational ClearQuest for Windows® client, ClearQuest version 7.1 continues
to support the traditional data-push model of creating and running reports
by using the Crystal Reports Designer and runtime, respectively.
