Steps to extend RTC to show custom reports on dashboard
Folks,
Working with a customer that would like to see several custom reports on the RTC dashboards. 1. Have already worked with IBM Development to create 2 sample reports using Birt Report Designer 2. Have already gotten assistance from IBM Development to create the appropriate jar file Need to understand the steps to extend RTC in customer environment (RTC 2.0, Tomcat, Windows 2003 server) Would also like to try steps out on my local RTC instance Tomcat Windows XP Any help would be greatly appreciated |

Folks, Hi Reedy, So the general steps to get this working, assuming a Tomcat installation like you have, are: 1. Set up a development environment (which you'll already have if you have created the dashboard viewlet plug-in). 2. Create a new feature (e.g. com.my.feature) that contains your viewlet plug-in. 3. Create a new Update Site project (e.g. called "MyUpdateSite". Add your feature to the update site. 4. Right-click on site-xml and generate the update site. 5. Copy the update site into your server somewhere, e.g. into %INSTALL_LOCATION%\jazz\server. 6. Create an .ini file to provision your update site, with the following contents: url=file:../MyUpdateSite featureid=com.my.feature Put this file in %INSTALL_LOCATION%\jazz\server\conf\jazz\provision_profiles. 7. Restart your server. The plug-in should be provisioned. Also, since you're developing dashboard viewlets, make sure the appropriate report templates are deployed with the correct identifiers, otherwise the viewlets won't show up. Hope this helps. james RTC Reports Team Lead |
