Client and server architecture for the reporting feature

This topic presents the client and server architectures that support the data-push 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.
