Re-deploy Report Templates


Neil Plantan (1082215) | asked Jul 22 '09, 3:25 p.m.
It seems that the report templates in one of our Project Area setups is incomplete (missing a bunch that are available in other Project Areas). Is there a way to redeploy them?

Thanks

Any change that you've archived the original team area? Sometimes we've

seen problems where the reports are associated with the team area, the
team area gets archived, and then when you try to deploy the reports, it
claims that they are duplicates (since it finds the old ones in the
archived team area). In 2.0.0.1 we've fixed this problem, but for now
you can fix it manually. Go to the Team Artifacts view in the rich
client. In the triangle pull-down menu, select "Show Archived". Now look
for the report templates - it should show them. Delete them, and then
re-deploy using one of the actions (such as "Deploy New Templates").

Hope this helps.

If a template is out of date you can redeploy it from the Process Templates
view (left most action in the view toolbar)

To update a project area with changes that have occurred in the process
template it was created from requires you to manually paste in the changes.
Open the Project Area editor on the project area
Open the Process Template editor on the process template
Go to the Process Configuration Source tab in both editors
Copy/Paste the source changes to synchronize as required.

If you are using RTC 2.0, Open the team artifacts navigator; expand the Reports node; Right click The Reports Templates and node and choose Deploy new templates. This will guide you to which report templates are missing from your project area and you will get the choice to deploy the ones you like. After that, you can proceed to creating reports out of those templates inside the report folder of your choice.

I'm seeing "... matches multiple report templates" when trying to do this. Any ideas?

James - thanks for the answer on this. It is a bit strange because we don't believe we ever archived the templates. In fact the project was created with the simple process and never had any reports created for it so we never really played with the reports at all.

Regardless - your solution was spot on.

Great, glad to hear. What happened (I believe) is that you archived the
team area, not the report templates. So:

1. Create project area P.
2. This creates team area T.
3. In team area T, report templates are automatically deployed (as part
of the creation, as specified by the process template).
4. Archive team area T.
5. Notice all the reports are gone.
6. Try to re-deploy the report templates. But our (old) code looked in
the archived team area and told you they're already there. Our new code
ignores the archived team area and will re-deploy them anyway.

I'm seeing this issue on v3 but the resolution isn't working.  I modified the filter, however, there are no archived projects and templates but yet I'm still getting the "Deploying report templates  workitems.AdvancedReleaseBurndown matches multiple report templates" error.  Is there anything else that can be done?

Hi Nicole, Someone probably deployed a report template using the same id = workitems.AdvancedReleaseBurndown and they probably made the report private.

If you are using a 3.0.1 server, you can try a URL similar to:
https://server:port/ccm/rpt/repository/generic?fields=generic/com.ibm.team.reports.ReportDescriptor[id='workitems.AdvancedReleaseBurndown']/(projectArea/name|processArea|owner/name|shared)

The above must be run by a jazzadmin. It will show you all report templates deployed using the given id. It will tell you who owns the report and if it is shared. Ask the person to either delete or share the template.

There was a problem in the forum that prevented the above answer from displaying. Now it should be OK.
