You can use the capabilities of IBM® Rational® Insight to report IBM Rational DOORS® data. You must configure an XML data configuration file, an ODBC data source, and the IBM Cognos® Data Manager catalog to implement the reporting integration.
Before you begin
- Rational DOORS, version 9.5.2
- IBM Rational DOORS Web Access, version 9.5.2
- Rational Insight, version 1.1.1.3
- Rational solution for Collaborative
Lifecycle Management (CLM), version 4.0.5 or later.Note: A data warehouse must be configured in CLM, as described in Installing Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence in the CLM information center. Rational DOORS shares the same extract, transform, and load (ETL) package as the CLM applications, therefore you must ensure that reporting is correctly configured for CLM so that Rational DOORS can integrate with Rational Insight. Be sure to use the unrestricted data model (DW+CALM)-no-security.zip when configuring CLM reporting, as described in Data models and sample reports in the CLM information center.
- IBM Rational Reporting Development Tools, version 2.0.5.0 or later
About this task
When Rational DOORS and Rational Insight are integrated, data is extracted from the Rational DOORS database and loaded into the Rational Insight data warehouse, where it can be published in reports. You can designate specific projects, folders, modules, attributes, and link types for inclusion in the reports.
The components and capabilities of the integration are displayed in the following diagram.
- Configuration of working set, mappings, and reportable shape.
- Query capabilities in the Rational DOORS OSLC RM interface.
- Conversion of OSLC RM to Reportable REST 1.1.
- Extract, transform, load package.
- Rational Insight reports.
The following topics contain detailed instructions to set up the integration. Begin by downloading the XML data configuration (XDC) file for Rational DOORS.
