How to display a RPE Report (RRDG) in RTC Widget
I would like to display the work allocation of a team on the team dashboard. I looked into BIRT and was not able to find all information needed (in APT I have only one assignment , and not as expected an assignment per time window )
I have created a RPE report in 4.0.0.1 and it works fine. But I would like to show this in a Widget.
I did the deployment as for a BIRT report, but no data are shown.
Any Idea

My understanding is that dashboard viewlets (widgets), specifically the Reports widget is only for BIRT reports or RRDI reports. When a RPE template is imported into RTC, then a report document is created from that report resource, you can run it from the Reports dashboard. But, you will not find the report document in the listing provided to configure the reports viewlet.
See this screenshot:
Now, I am wondering if what you want to achieve can be done with any existing widgets available under the 'Plans' category of the Widget catalog. Here is a screenshot with all 3 Plan widgets available all configured with specific settings.
The widgets from left to right are (1) Plan view widget set to display the Work Breakdown structure, (2) Plan Statistics widget set to display the Product Backlog Grouped by Owner and (3) the Plans widget showing the overall progress of more than one team for a specific iteration.
I hope this answers your question. If so, please accept the answer.

Erwin/Robert,
a solution was sketched up for RRDI-originated reports here: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/103608/how-to-make-rrdi-reports-work-like-rtc-widgets. Haven't tested myself but the trick may work for a resource including "micro" identifier also helps for RPE reports.
(Updated Aug 26th) Please be aware that this use case may not be recommended nor supported (as suggested by Rosa).

I think that the procedure is described on Setting up document-style reports in CLM from Rational Publishing Engine templates
