Jazz and Cognos Relationship
One answer
Hi Steve,
Prior to the 6.0 release, we shipped a component called Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI) with the CLM server. We provided the Cognos BI server and all the reporting resources required to use Cognos to report against the CLM data warehouse. So in a nutshell, what you would get the ability to report on operational and historical/trending data as it pertained to the CLM application data. We made this easier by providing Report Builder in the 5.0 release so that the average user can create powerful reports in a few clicks rather than relying on writing complex report expressions in Cognos.
Starting in the 6.0 release, we no longer provide the Cognos BI Server, but rather a connector that will allow you to achieve the same result if you stand up your own Cognos server. I answered a question on this yesterday that has more of the technical details around the CLM reporting strategy for 6.0 and above (see here). Hope it helps,
