Configuring BIRT 2.6.2
To run BIRT reports from ClearQuest data sources, copy the ClearQuest Reporting Driver files to the appropriate directory of the
BIRT web application. The ClearQuest Reporting Driver
files are packaged as Eclipse plug-ins that are installed automatically with any ClearQuest feature. You can find the plug-ins in this directory:
- Windows
- %CLEARQUEST_HOME%\reports\driver
- UNIX and Linux
- $CLEARQUEST_HOME/reports/driver
The BIRT Viewer plug-ins are found in the WebSphere
Application Server profile directory where ClearQuest
applications are deployed. The default profile directories for Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms are:
- Windows
- cq_profile_dir\installedApps\dfltCell\<birt-war.ear>\birt.war\WEB-INF\platforms\plugins
- UNIX and Linux
- cq_profile_dir/installedApps/dfltCell/<birt-war.ear>/birt.war/WEB-INF/platforms/plugins
Where
cq_profile_dir is the default WebSphere Application profile
directory that contains both the ClearQuest applications and the files for the BIRT server runtime
environment.
Note: The default WebSphere Application Server cell directory is
dfltCell on Windows, Unix, and Linux platforms. On the Solaris platform, the
default is <srv>Node01Cell.
