Integrating : Integrating with IBM Rational Publishing Engine : Reports for System Architect integration with IBM Rational DOORS : Generating reports for System Architect/IBM Rational DOORS integration

This section describes the steps to run the reports from IBM Rational Publishing Engine. Before running the reports, ensure that:

▪the REST Service is running. If it is not, in System Architect, click Reports > Report Server Manager, and then click Start Service.

▪IBM Rational DOORS is running.

To run the reports

1 In the Document Specification pane, under the Data Sources pane, expand the Templates node and the Data sources* node.

2 Click the first REST Data source.

3 In the Properties pane, click the URI property and enter the URI for your Encyclopedia, which must be in the following format:

http://localhost:8889/SARest/SQL/sqlexpress/Samples/1

4 Click the second REST Data source, and in the Properties pane enter the same URI provided to the first Data source.

5 For DOORS data Source, provide the path to the DOORS executable file. This will be automatically saved in the template and you will not have to enter it again.

6 Click Variables->Variable(vDiagram_Name) and supply the name of the Business Process diagram on which the report is to be run. The report output report contains the following information:

▪the Diagram name and image
