Configuration for running Crystal Reports reports on the server

ClearQuest version 7.1 introduces an updated model for running reports created with Crystal Reports. The ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports is a new Web application that supports running Crystal Reports reports on the ClearQuest change-management server.

Using a ClearQuest Eclipse client, if you want to use the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports to run reports on the change-management server, your administrator must configure the report server to include a database profile that matches the database profile used by the Eclipse client. For example, if the Eclipse client runs a report from a connection with a schema repository named 7.1.0 and a database named SAMPL, the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports must have access to the same schema and database.

Alternatively, your administrator can configure the report server to specify a default change-management server. In this case, the change-management server must include a database profile that matches the database profile used by the Eclipse client. Your administrator can modify the change-management server in the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports configuration file crconfiguration.properties, which is located in the following directory:
$Rational_Common%\CM\profiles\cmprofile\installedApps\WebSphereAppServer-cell\RationalClearQuestWebReport.ear\CQWebReportModule.war\WEB-INF\classes
where the variables have the following definitions:
%RATIONAL_COMMON%
Rational common installation directory
WebSphereAppServer-cell
WebSphere Application Server cell directory

You must configure your Eclipse client before you can use the ClearQuest Report Server for Crystal Reports to run reports on the change-management server.
