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:
- Defect list report - A new report listing all defects, states
and priorities
- TER Status report - A table view report of Test Execution Record
status
- Category parameters - numerous additional category parameters
added to many reports
- Attempted state added to the Execution Trend report
- Improved Scorecard report - Includes all available execution and
defect states
To update your reports:
- Extract the JAR file that contains the report templates
to a temporary location that is accessible to a Rational Team Concert client.
Because a JAR file is the same format as a zip file, you
can extract it with any unzip application.
Note: The Rational Team Concert client
is called the RQM Administration Client in
the installation launchpad.
- Start the Rational Team Concert client.
- Click the Team Artifacts tab and
expand the Reports folder.
- Right click Report Templates and
click Update from folder
- Select the folder that contains the report template files.
This is the folder where you extracted the JAR file.

report templates.
