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.
