Connect to ReqPro database

Siernan

Hi,

I want to connect a ReqPro database to ClearQest/BIRT v7.1. What data source shall I use? And what driver do I need?

Regards,
Fredrik

You are going to have to use the ClearQuest Query Driver to create a datasource to ClearQuest, that is the one that is built in with the CQ RCP. If you are reporting on CQ records only, then this is all you will need and you can create your datasets from your pre-existing public and personal queries. You can find more information on the CQ 7.1 Info Center:<br />

<br />
If you plan on directly accessing Requirements from your ReqPro database, you need to follow the instructions detailed below, the steps are similar to any BIRT report once you establish the datasource using the <strong class='bbc'>IBM Rational RequisitePro Data Source</strong> driver<br />

Let me know if you have more specific questions or problems getting this setup.<br />
