Many large-scale IoT solutions require the use of long-range wireless networking to communicate among the sensors, gateways, the cloud, and any IoT apps that make up the IoT solution. These large-scale IoT solutions take advantage of edge computing (or fog computing, as some people call it).  Learn more in the following IoT on the edge 3-part series of articles.

• Part 2: Integrating edge analytics into your IoT solutions
  Analyzing sensor data on the edge to prevent hay bale fires

You can use the Report Builder in version 6.0.6 of the Jazz Reporting Service to create and run reports about artifacts across projects or versioned data in configurations.

 

For example:

• Create a multi-project report that shows test cases, the requirements that they validate, and related defects.
  Run this report, scoping the results by choosing a configuration (stream or baseline).

 

Learn how to set up your environment and understand some of the limitations when you use either the LQE or LQE scoped by a Configuration data source.

 

Consider the limitations described here before you use LQE data sources for production reports.

 

If you are interested only in document-style reports, you can export Report Builder reports as Rational Publishing Engine templates to make document authoring easier. For example:

• Create the documents required for a Bill of Materials (BOM) for a product: lists of requirements, and test cases and their status when a product was delivered.
• Provide a document-style report to someone who cannot access a Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) dashboard.

 

Additional details are available in the Getting started with reporting by using Lifecycle Query Engine data sources in version 6.0.6 article on Jazz.net.

New videos are available for the latest 6.0.6 version of IBM Jazz Reporting Service.  

 

 

JRS: Scheduling reports in Report Builder - You can now schedule reports to run automatically at different frequencies. Then, you can export the report to the format you need, such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, PDF, or HTML. This video was recorded using Jazz Reporting Service version 6.0.6. For more information, see Scheduling reports to run in Report Builder.

 

 

JRS: Organizing reports with folders in Report Builder - You can now organize your reports by grouping them into folders and subfolders. You can create folders, move folders or reports into folders, and pick the folder where you want to create a report. This video was recorded using Jazz Reporting Service version 6.0.6. For more information, see Finding and organizing reports in Report Builder.

Highlighting some of the many enhancements in the new IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation 6.0.6 release:

 

• Requirements Repurposing
  
  In this release, you can copy artifacts across components from a folder to a folder, from a folder to a module, and from a module to a module. When you paste artifacts into the target component, you can create back links for traceability purposes and specify mappings between the component type systems. You can also drag and drop artifacts to copy them across components.

 

• Differentiating module artifacts from base artifacts
  
  To further differentiate module artifacts from base artifacts, you can now specify a common folder for module content folders. The common folder organizes base artifacts in a hierarchy under a single folder, which can help you identify module artifacts from base artifacts and which can help you focus on module data.
  
   
• Supply chain with a mix of DOORS and DOORS Next Generation
  
  Removes the ReqIF restriction of data, crossing a mixed supply chain of IBM Rational DOORS and DOORS Next Generation where DOORS Next Generation is the original host.
  
   
• Usability improvements
  
  This release includes several usability improvements, including drag-and-drop support for moving folders, visual indicators for non-editable cells, and the ability to rename a review on the Reviews page.

Developers, what happens when you design for “system of systems”?

 

How many of us grasp just how connected we’re becoming? The concept of the “connected world” has enormous – and transformational – implications. Because not only are individual things becoming more connected, each “thing” is often part of a larger system: a system of systems (SoS). [Read more…]

CMMS, EAM, APM…..OMG! Making sense of the asset management spectrum by Bruce D Baron

 

One of the most important decisions that an asset-intensive industry has is how to manage and care for its assets (i.e. equipment, buildings, and machinery). This is a decision that affects everyone in the organization, from the operators, to the engineers and the C-suite. There are many theories – some dating as far back as the Roman Chariot – on how we get the maximum out of the machines in our organization. The solution, however, will be different depending on the needs of the business and how each uses their assets. In this post, we will explore the full asset management spectrum and how to make the right choice for your organization.  [Read more…]
