Integrating RRC with RPE
Hi,
We are new to the tool RPE and for one of our client the requirement is they wanted RPE to be integrated with the existing RRC.
RRC in our enviornment is used for Requirements management and is also integrated with RQM.
Currently we have RRC URL - https://servername.com:9443/rm/rmadmin. We are fine with project area administration part.
Now when it comes to Integration reffered the link - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6RHZ_1.2.0/com.ibm.rational.pe.integration.doc/topics/c_rrc_integrate.html
which looks too technical and not able to understand.
Can anyone tell us in general how the reporting works here. I am aware that in RRC default reports can be generated. How this can be integrated and what happens after integration. -- General understanding will do.

Hi Anoop RPE is a generic document generation tool and it can be integrated with RRC using RRC REST API provided from RRC. This means that it is not a tightly coupled integration and there is no need of installing anything just to integrate RPE and RRC. Once RRC and RPE in place, RPE can talk to RRC using RRC REST API (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RRCReportableRestAPI). RPE will make some REST API calls to RRC based on the template design.
By default RRC comes with some out of the box RPE templates which you can use it using the menu option (Report > Generate a document style report) in RRC. If you want to customize this template you need to open it in RPE Studio which will consume a RPE license file. Using a RPE created template from within RRC does not consume a license file. This is because RRC has RRDG (RPE engine) incorporated within it. Below link will have more information on how to include a RPE template in RRC and run it from RRC:
To create a template in RPE, you need to first download the RRC schema into RPE document Studio and design a template based on the schema nodes. Once the template is ready you can run the template against RRC by specifying the RRC REST base URL, for example: https://server:port/rm/publish/text?projectName=<Project name>, in the RPE specification file. Generating a RRC document from RPE will consume a RPE license file. I think more details are available in the RPE help and hope the above info is sufficient to give you an intro on RPE.
