How can I request a new data snapshot be generated?

Thanks, Brian

Brian,

If you have the DWAdmins repository permission, go to the Reports Web
UI. Click on the "Administer Data Warehouse" link in the left navigation
panel. From there you can kick the various snapshots whenever you like.

What version of RTC are you running? We've added a live data point to
the burndown report (as the last point in the chart) so that you always
have an up-to-date view of the report without manually running the
snapshot before every scrum meeting. This change is in 2.0, I'll have to
check whether it's in 1.0.1.1 or not.

We're using 1.0.1.1. I had tried running first the WorkItem snapshot,
then all snapshots. Yet, after doing this and verifying the service had
completed, a datapoint for the previous day was still not showing up. So
I wondered if I was not requesting the thing.

For burndown reports, is it the work item snapshot that should generate
the data?

Thanks, Brian

Yes, the work item snapshot should be creating the data correctly. You
should also make sure you run the common snapshot afterwards (just to be
sure) - it runs quite quickly.

Could you open a work item in the Reports component so we could take a
look? Please include a screenshot of the report (including the
parameters) as well as a screenshot of your iteration hierarchy in the
project area editor.

Thanks,
