Publishing model reports

You can publish a report about the selected model or package. This information can be copied, printed, and distributed as one physical document.

To publish a model report:
  1. In the Model Explorer view, select the model or package to publish.
  2. Click Modeling > Publish > Report.
  3. In the Generate Report window, select the report to generate. Each row contains information on the type of file to be generated, the name of the report, and a description. You can also create custom report formats as described in customizing reports in the Rational area of IBM developerWorks.
  4. To display the overview page when publishing has finished, select the Automatically display published output check box.
  5. To delete the current contents of the destination folder before publishing, select the Always clean destination folder without asking check box. If this is not selected and the destination folder is not empty, you will be asked if you would like to clean the destination folder before publishing.
  6. Type an output filename in the Select the file name for the generated report field.
  7. Click OK to publish the model or package report.
The Progress Information window opens and stays open until publishing completes. If you selected the Automatically display published output check box, the index.html file is displayed and it contains a link to the Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file and the report description. The contents of the PDF file depends on the report generated.
