Everyone has demands on their time so learning new things, especially potentially complex tools, is not an easy thing to fit into our busy schedules. Quick Starts are short, focused, introductory hands-on labs that are designed to take less than two hours to complete so a very small investment of time. Whether you want to […]

Overview If you’ve been following these articles, hopefully you’ve also started to build your own views. In doing so, you may have noticed the lack of alignment tools (at least in the existing release). You may have also found that each container has a Top and a Left property – that you can copy and […]

Overview Risk Analysis is a practice applied as part of safety critical systems design to eventually result in a system that is safe for use. It is mandated across industries such as Aerospace, Automotive, Medical Devices and others. The core focus of risk analysis is to identity potential hazards, their causes, and assess their severities […]

<< Building Views with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Engineering Insights (ENI) Part Three – Customizing the Look and Feel of Views (The Basics) In this article, we’ll introduce Actions that allow us to make the views more interactive and dynamic. We will start by creating a new View that we can use as a […]

<< Building Views with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Engineering Insights (ENI) Part Two – Building a Traceability View In the previous article we built out a simple traceability view – as a reminder here is where we ended up: While functional it isn’t particularly appealing visually. In this article, we will apply some formatting […]

In this article, we’ll build our first view. Later we’ll make it look visually appealing and introduce some dynamic visualization but we’ll start by simply reporting the data we are interested in and see just how quickly and easily views can be designed.

In this series of articles, we’ll be exploring how to build views in IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Engineering Insights (ENI) that allow you to visualize and analyze your engineering data in a powerful, dynamic way. We’ll see just how quickly and easily these views can be built, starting with some very basic concepts before […]

Rhapsody Model Manager (RMM) provides two reporting schemas: Rhapsody Model Schema Provides some basic information about the model stored in RMM If you intend a more detailed report then you should design and run the report against the Rhapsody desktop client Rhapsody Traceability Statistics Schema Provides statistical information of traceability from model elements in RMM […]

Reporting on a reporting tool. Initially, it sounds like an odd concept right? It’s actually a very useful capability. Jazz Reporting Services Report Builder (JRS) provides a web-based UI for designing reports. These reports are primarily focused on presenting live data, typically on dashboards, in the form of tables or graphs. While these can be […]

In this posting, we’ll continue the series by seeing how we start a traceability report from IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM). ETM has two reportable APIs: OSLCV2 Supports 15 concepts (Test Plan, Test Case, etc.) Supports POX (redirects to reportable REST) Reportable REST Supports 48 concepts No POX support – links for schemas and data […]
