Migrating Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager queries from 5.0.2 or older versions
To migrate your queries from 5.0.2 or older versions to version 6.0.6.1, you must export your queries from your existing Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager installation. Administrators import the queries archive into the version 6.0.6.1 Report Builder.
Before you begin
- Report Builder must be installed and registered as an application with the Jazz®™ Team Server.
- A default data source must be configured for Report Builder, and you must be connected to it.
- You must have Jazz administrative privileges or be a report manager.
About this task
- In your existing Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager installation, export the queries as a .zip file. The queries archive contains an XML file. The file name is custom.sparql. All the exported queries are described in the XML file.
- Import the queries .zip file into the version 6.0.6.1 Report Builder.
You can also migrate enumerations that are used in queries as parameters. To migrate
enumerations, complete these steps:
- Export the enumerations as a .zip file. The enumerations archive contains an XML file. The file name is custom.enumeration. The exported enumerations are described in the XML file.
- Extract the enumerations archive, and copy the custom.enumeration file into the queries archive.
- Import the queries archive into the version 6.0.6.1 Report Builder.

What to do next
Important: Administrators cannot export personal queries that are saved in the
My Queries folder. Rational Engineering Lifecycle
Manager users
must export their personal queries and send them to the administrator. As an administrator, you can
import the queries into the Report Builder. The users can then access the Rational Engineering Lifecycle
Manager queries,
which are reports in the Report Builder. Users who do not want to share the reports with the team
can save the reports in the My Stuff folder, and ask the administrator to
remove the imported shared reports.
