About this task
This setup applies to
IBM Rational ClearQuest®,
IBM Rational RequisitePro®,
or
IBM Rational ClearCase®.
One data adapter provides a communication interface to many
Rational Publishing Engine clients.
For performance reasons, do not install the Reporting Data Services
Adapters on the same server as the database. On the computer where
the Reporting Data Services Adapters are installed, you must also
install the native client to the database
Rational RequisitePro thick
client,
Rational ClearQuest Eclipse
client, and others). On the computer with the Reporting Data Services
Adapters installed, the Reporting Data Services Adapters use the native
client to communicate with the database. Many
Rational Publishing Engine clients,
even in different locations, connect to the Reporting Data Services
Adapters by using
http://server:port/DataServices/Adapter/<data>.
