RQM & RQM Custom Reporting (Cognos/Insight) Integration

Just finshed configuring RQM & RQM Custom Reporting to work together and wanted to share a crucial step with everyone which was missed out in the setup documentation.

When setting up the integration you need to tell cognos where to look when pulling data from RQM.

Using the XML Data Configuration tool open

"C:\Program files\IBM\rqmreporting\dataconfig\configs\Configurations\rqm.xdc"

within this file navigate to

"XML Data Configuration -> Resources -> RationalQualityManager -> RQM"

Select the properties of the RQM Resource Group and change the URL paramiter to point to your server.

The URL will look something like this:

https://localhost:9443/jazz/secure/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/Quality+Manager

Don't worry about testing the connection as it will fail, the full URL is build on runtime.

You should now be able to fun the ETL job without it failing.

Hope this helps.
