Someone that has left our company made some customized reports/widgets. I'm trying to reverse engineer them but am not having luck.

I would like to see exactly what the .rptdesign file was when it was installed as report resource.

Where would I find these?

Hi Lora,

Check out Rafik's answer to this question for instructions on how to download a report design file from the server.

I will vouch for this method ! But I'll provide a tip to focus on the reports modified by a particular user.

In the URL that helps you locate the resources I'd suggest using something like:

https://server:port/ .... reports.ReportDescriptor[modifiedBy/name='Your User' or modifiedBy/name='Some Other User']/(id|name|modified|modifiedBy/name|contents[key='com.ibm.team.reports.design.rptdesign']/(key|value/contentId))

You can elide the " or modified/by='Some Other User' " if there's only one you're interested in finding. That way you won't have to weed through lots of XML to find what you might need.

Thanks Alana and Rafik :) I really didn't know that it is possible.

Hello!

Could you PLEASE provide some example link without placeholders.
I don't understand the notation :(

Here is how I did it with concrete examples

Lets say I have a Project called "LoraProject" and a Report Resource with the identifier 'defect.outstanding'

I want the XML of the report design.

I paste the following into my browser

https://thenameofmyserver:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/generic?fields=generic/com.ibm.team.reports.ReportDescriptor[projectArea/name='LoraProject' and id='defect.outstanding']/(id|contents[key='com.ibm.team.reports.design.rptdesign']/(key|value/contentId))

and I see:

				<generic Version="1.0.0" rel="next" href="https://thenameofmyserver:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/generic?fields=generic%2Fcom.ibm.team.reports.ReportDescriptor%5BprojectArea%2Fname%3D%27LoraProject%27%20and%20id%3D%27defect.outstanding%27%5D%2F%28id%7Ccontents%5Bkey%3D%27com.ibm.team.reports.design.rptdesign%27%5D%2F%28key%7Cvalue%2FcontentId%29%29&id=_7uK14I9pEeOO7IatHMxBxA&size=100&pos=100">
			

							<com.ibm.team.reports.ReportDescriptor>
						
								<id>defect.outstanding</id>
							
										<contents>
									
											<key>com.ibm.team.reports.design.rptdesign</key>
										
													<value>
												
														<contentId>_kzqPQCR098ctleZKhKw</contentId>
													
													</value>
												
										</contents>
									
							</com.ibm.team.reports.ReportDescriptor>

				</generic>
			

So what I wanted out of all of that was this:

_kzqPQCR098ctleZKhKw

So that I can put it into this link.

https://thenameofmyserver:9443/ccm/service/com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.IContentRestService/content/_kzqPQCR098ctleZKhKw

Then when I copy this into my browser I get the xml needed!

Hi Lora,

Thank you very-very much!
I thought those brackets are kind of templates, but they are mandatory URL parts :)

Best wishes,
