I am having difficulty associating a specific element in a RSM model with the report column mapping in BIRT report creation. For example, how do I know that the content of the note on a diagram in the model can be reported in BIRT with children[
@type="Note"]/styles[1]/
@description? I am imagining a cross reference between every object in the Rational model with the column mapping. How do I obtain this information? ALL help is much appreciated!
I am using BIRT with RSM 7.5.3 - just beginning to use the report designer. I have reviewed the webinars and BIRT documentation (BIRT Field Guide as one) but don't see much on reporting in BIRT on Rational models and in particular the less obvious, for example, in the System Context Model under Properties/Stereotypes/Keywords there is a text box; I have learned only by experimenting that BIRT accesses this (column mapping) by eAnnotations/details/
@key. But, I need a better way to associate RSM and BIRT - anyone using RSM and BIRT that would share your experiences on this and the best way to navigate?
