About designing and running reports

You can design and run reports to display Rational ClearQuest data in various formats.

The procedures and choices available to design and run reports vary depending on your ClearQuest client.

On the ClearQuest for Windows client, the procedure to design and run traditional data-push reports remains the same as in previous releases. However, the Crystal Reports runtime and the Crystal Reports Report Designer Component (RDC) are no longer included with the client installation. To run existing data-push reports created by using Crystal Reports, download and install the runtime component for Crystal Reports XI Release 2 from the Business Objects Web site at http://www.businessobjects.com/ibmrational. There is no charge for licensed Rational ClearQuest users to download the runtime component.

To edit existing report formats and create new report formats, you must purchase and install the Report Designer Component for Crystal Reports XI Release 2.

You create a data-push report by applying an existing query to an existing report format for the record type that you want to report on. You can also create a data-push report by using an existing query result set and a report format.
