New & Noteworthy for Jazz Reporting Service 6.0.6.1


Description
Lifecycle Query Engine Validate the index against TRS feeds

In previous versions, the validation process found missing or extra artifacts. Now, Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE) validation compares the ETags from the TRS feeds with the ETags that are stored in the index. If there is a mismatch, the resource is marked as "Stale" and is automatically fetched again.
  • Rational Team Concert Tracking and Planning Resources (TRS 2.0): Now, ETags are provided for the following artifacts in the TRS feed: work item, enumeration, enumeration list, category, release (deliverable), plan, work flow state and resolution, and timesheet entry. ETags are also published for the timesheet entry artifact type (if the project area has time codes), and for the work item artifact type.
     
  • Rational DOORS Next Generation, Rational Quality Manager, and Global Configuration Management: ETags are already provided for the set of version selections for configurations and can now be validated by LQE. The selections determine which artifacts are returned by queries that run against LQE scoped by a configuration data source.
Download LQE logs for each data source

On the data sources status page, you can now download the logs that LQE generates for each data source. The data in the logs provides validation details.
Report Builder Email notification for scheduled reports

You can now receive email notifications for scheduled reports by entering a comma-separated list of email addresses in the Notify user field of the Schedule an Export page. Each email address must be associated with a Jazz Team Server user account.

By default, the email notification is disabled on the Report Builder server. To enable email notification, set the export.schedule.email.notification.enabled property to true in the JRS_install_dir\server\conf\rs\app.properties file and restart the server.

Faster data model construction from LQE data sources

A new property, metaModelManager.numberOfThreads=3, was added to the JRS_install_dir\server\conf\rs\app.properties file. This property helps Report Builder construct the detailed internal data model faster because it uses multiple threads to run queries from Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE) in parallel. Additional query optimization work now makes it possible for single threads to run faster, especially on large data sets. You don't need to change this property and it's added automatically when you upgrade to 6.0.6.1.
Removing corrupted data and compacting the Report Builder database

Administrators can use the rs_compact command to remove corrupted data and to compact the Report Builder database. This procedure helps avoid reporting performance issues. After you shut down the server, run the rs_compact command from the Jazz_Install_Dir/server directory.
 
Trace a report to an LQE query

During troubleshooting, administrators can now easily find which report corresponds to a SPARQL query in Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE). The report URL and title are included in the query so you can easily find the matching report.
