Testing the live data model

Live reports use data from operational source systems and data stores.

About this task

Create a report using the live data model to test whether a live connection exists between Rational® Common Reporting and Rational Quality Manager.

Procedure

  1. Open the Cognos Web application at http://server:port/insight.
  2. Open Query Studio by clicking Launch > Query Studio.
  3. In the Select a package page, click the Reporting Data Models folder, and then click Reporting Data Model ([your_product]).
    Note: The full path to the Reporting Data Model ([your_product]) package is Cognos > Public Folders > Reporting Data Models.
  4. To create a live report, select the Rational Quality Manager items from the tree view in the left panel, such as items from the Test Plan Area, and click Insert.
  5. In the left panel, run the report by selecting Run Report from the menu, and then select Run with All Data. If prompted for a project name, use the name that you gave the project area in the live XDC file. Assuming that existing data corresponds to the selected artifacts in Rational Quality Manager, the executed report should return Rational Quality Manager data.
