Rational® ClearQuest® version 8.0 lets
you customize your deployment to support data-pull reports with Crystal
Reports and BIRT reporting tools or data-push reports with the ClearQuest Report Server
for Crystal reports.
Consider the following questions when planning your deployment:
- Do you have an existing ClearQuest deployment
that uses SAP Crystal Reports to design and run data-push reports?
- Do you want to move to the data-pull reporting model while continuing
to support existing Crystal Reports data-push reports?
- Do you want to migrate your existing Crystal Reports data-push
reports to data-pull reports? You can use the Crystal Reports Migration
Tool, available in download document 4021266.
- Do you want to create data-pull reports with one or both of these
reporting systems:
- The Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) reporting
system
- The Crystal Reports reporting system, which you can purchase from SAP
- Do you want to access ClearQuest reports
in an Eclipse client or Rational Team Concert™ to facilitate agile planning?
- Which ClearQuest clients
and client operating systems do you support?
After considering these questions, review the ClearQuest Reporting scenarios for an
overview of the installation, configuration, and deployment tasks
required to set up your ClearQuest reporting
environment.
