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 […]

In the previous blog postings we’ve covered how to report on links from requirements to models, test cases and work items, and from model elements to test cases, work items, and requirements. In this article, we’ll cover how to start the report from a work item and obtain the links to those other artifact types. […]

In the previous article, we covered how to report on links from requirements to model elements in Rhapsody Model Manager as well as test cases and work items. In this article, we’ll cover how to create a template that reports on the model and gets the links to other artifacts. Once you have the links, […]

In this article, we’ll build our first template. We will start by reporting on a single requirement in IBM Engineering Requirements Management – DOORS Next. In a real template, we would usually report on something like all the requirements in a module, but our focus here is on linked lifecycle data. We’ll see how other […]

When building templates it is often useful to be able to send a GET request to a data source, in the same way, that PUB does. This is often the only way you can find out how linked data actually appears in its reportable form, and guides the building of your template. To do that […]

This is the first of a series of articles covering how to author reports in IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Publishing (PUB) Document Studio that report specifically on linked data, for example, requirements satisfied by model elements, rather than a detailed report on a single data source. A POX on It! Most of the ELM […]

Introduction The rising complexity of the products and systems being developed globally is driving engineering teams to seek effective model-based engineering practices, including model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Rising compliance demands such as ISO-26262/ASPICE in automotive and DO-178 C and ARP 4754 for aerospace are driving the need for rigorous change management and lifecycle traceability while […]

As introduced in MBSE across the lifecycle: Introducing Rhapsody Model Manager, Rhapsody Model Manager (RMM) is becoming the standard IBM solution for model management for the enterprise on the web, with traceability and enterprise-class configuration management based on Rational Team Concert (RTC). We are busy working on the second release of Rhapsody Model Manager. The […]

(NOTE: For the latest information, see Update on Rhapsody Design Manager and Rhapsody Model Manager.) Are you designing and developing products that keep getting more connected and more complex?  If so, you’re not alone. The Continuous Engineering team talks to clients in many industries whose products are now systems of interconnected parts that are also part […]
