Client and server architecture for the reporting feature

This topic presents the client and server architectures that support the data-pull reporting model for BIRT reporting applications.

The Rational® ClearQuest® reporting components impact how you configure the Rational® ClearQuest® Web server, the Rational® ClearQuest® Client, and Rational® ClearQuest® Web. Make sure that you understand the support available on each client to design and run reports before you plan your reporting deployment.

Rational® ClearQuest® Client

Designing, running, and sharing data-pull reports

To design, manage, and share data-pull reports:

  • Use Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) reporting system configured with the Rational® ClearQuest® Reporting Driver to design data-pull reports.
  • Run and share data-pull reports created with BIRT with the Report Launcher for Rational® ClearQuest®.
