Changing the default name format of the excel report file in Change

Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible to change the default name the excel report format in IBM Rational Change?

Cause

In IBM Rational Change 4.7, the XLS reports get saved with the following name format:

<user_id>_<database>_<date_time>_<report_name>.xls

Note: Due to issues with the long report names the format was changed to the following starting IBM Rational Change 5.0 release:

<user_id>_<date_time>.xls

Answer

It is not possible to change the default XLS report name format as it is hard-coded in the tool.

Note: You can however change the report name after it has been saved to the file system.
