Missing Timeline in reports


Thomas Bollinger (4651) | asked Oct 12 '09, 9:30 a.m.
Hi,

Im experimenting with RTC and found something strange: When I want to display a report, Im redirected to the screen where to choose Timeline, Teamarea,... But neither of these has choises. I have 2 Projects (Both sampleprojects "Prelude" and "Junit", so they both have Timelines).

Im using 2 machines, one running RTC 2.0.0.1 Standard Edition as Server and another using RTC 2.0.0.1 Express-C as Client. At least on the the Server the reports should work.

What am I doin wrong?

Greetings,
Thomas

The snapshots run automatically. The default time between runs is 24
hours, and we run them at midnight (server time).

Ah now I see what was the problem. As my PC is switched off when Im not at work, the server couldnt make his snapshots at midnight.

Did I understand that correctly, that the data warehouse/mart hadnt any data just because the snapshots did run to a time the server was not running?

Hi

The snapshots run on the server as the information is needs is all on the servrer - so as long as your PC is not the server too - the snapshots should have run.

Let's go back a step. Assuming you have not changed the default settings, a snapshot should run every night. Use the WebUI for all of the following...

You need admin access to change settings here:

https://jazz-server:9443/jazz/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.admin.configureAdvanced

(change the server:port name to your machine)

then look for the Data Warehouse section and edit the snapshot time. Default is midnight.

You can run a snapshot manually, go to your project, and select Reports. On the left-hand side, you should see an Admin section and select Administer Data Warehouse. You can click on Update All Snapshot Data.

Be a bit careful about this (as James pointed out) - if this was a production server and there was a lot of data - it could take a while to run.

Hope that helps

And in my case, my PC is the server. Now I have it make the Snapshot just after lunch, and it seems to work (at least, I got actual reports today, half an hour after the new Snapshottime).

The simplest things can be the hardest... :-(

But thanks for all the advices, I think I got it.
