About the Rational ClearQuest Reporting Driver

The Rational® ClearQuest® Reporting Driver provides ClearQuest authenticated access to ClearQuest data sources to design and run data-pull reports.

The Rational ClearQuest Reporting Driver partially implements the Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) API, which enables various reporting tools to consume Rational ClearQuest data. The JDBC implementation uses the Rational ClearQuest Web server API to interface with ClearQuest, thus preserving the ClearQuest security model and providing data access by third-party reporting tools such as the Business Intelligence Reporting (BIRT) tools. The Rational ClearQuest Reporting Driver is packaged as an Eclipse plug-in named com.ibm.rational.clearquest<version>.<timestamp>.jar. This plug-in is installed automatically with any ClearQuest component.

The Rational ClearQuest Reporting Driver is supported for use by the following reporting and development tools.
  • BIRT Report Designer
  • BIRT Server runtime
  • Eclipse Workbench
  • Rational Team Concert Server
The Rational ClearQuest Reporting Driver is automatically installed to the following directory during the installation of any ClearQuest feature:
Windows
<clearquest_home>\reports\driver
