The ClearQuest® Reporting
Driver provides ClearQuest authenticated
access to ClearQuest data
sources to design and run data-pull reports. The reporting driver
supports ClearQuest reporting
activities for BIRT and SAP Crystal Reports reporting tools. You can
also deploy it in Eclipse Workbench and Rational Team Concert™ environments.
The ClearQuest Reporting
Driver partially implements the Java™ Database
Connectivity (JDBC) API, which enables various reporting tools to
consume 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 and SAP Crystal
Reports. The ClearQuest Reporting
Driver is packaged as an Eclipse plug-in named com.ibm.rational.clearquest.jdbc_<version>.<timestamp>.jar.
This plug-in is installed automatically with any ClearQuest component.
The ClearQuest Reporting
Driver is supported for use by the following reporting and development
tools.
- Crystal Reports
- BIRT Report Designer
- BIRT Server runtime
- Eclipse Workbench
- Rational Team
Concert Server
The ClearQuest Reporting
Driver is automatically installed to the following directory during
the installation of any ClearQuest feature:
- Windows
- <clearquest_home>\reports\driver
- UNIX or Linux
- <clearquest_home>/reports/driver
