express-c and report viewlets


Rob Exley (1652) | asked Mar 12 '10, 7:30 a.m.
Dear all,

Firstly, apologies if this information is present elsewhere already but I have been googling and searching the forums to try and find the answer already.

Whilst I appreciate that RTC Express-C edition only contains limited support for reporting, I believe it supports what are termed 'report viewlets'. I interpret this as the small viewlets accessible via the web interface. However if I try and add one of these report viewlets into the project dashboard, I receive an error message as follows (for example)

"Report with ID 'workitems.MicroOpenWorkItemsByPriority' is not deployed to project area 'Systems Consultancy'. Click here to select a different project area."

If these are intended to be accessible, I don't understand why this doesn't work.

To resolve this I found references to deploying these from within the thick-client but this functionality doesn't seem to be present in the express-c RTC client.

Any information would be appreciated.

-
Rob.

Hi Rob,

It is not possible to view trend report related viewlets in the Express-C and Express editions of Rational Team Concert due to license restrictions.

Please see this topic for further details:

>> I believe it supports what are termed 'report viewlets'.
Curious, did you get that information from this article?

We need to correct any inaccuracies in our documentation.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Rob,

It looks like I was totally wrong.
Trend report viewlets are available in RTC Express & Express-C editions.
https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/2.0.0.2iFix1
(See Reports row)

>> "Report with ID 'workitems.MicroOpenWorkItemsByPriority' is not
>> deployed to project area 'Systems Consultancy'.
>> If these are intended to be accessible, I don't understand
>> why this doesn't work.

The problem is that the BIRT micro report template (*.rptdesign) representing the Dashboard trend report was not been deployed to the project area out-of-the-box.

This work item tracks the problem:

Sorry for the confusion,

Mike
