Updating your reports to Rational Quality Manager v1.0.1

You must update the report templates to take advantage of the new reports that are available with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager v1.0.1 and to maintain any existing reports that you modified in v1.0. These templates are managed with the IBM Rational Team Concert client that you install with Rational Quality Manager.

The report templates are installed with Rational Quality Manager as a JAR plugin at the following directory location:

<RQM_install_dir>/server/rqm-update-site/plugins/com.ibm.rqm.reports.templates_<version>.jar

Rational Quality Manager v1.0.1 includes the following new reporting capabilities:

To update your reports:
