About this task

Jazz Reporting Service is the default reporting tool for the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management solutions. JRS uses three components to create reports across products:
Report Builder
Provides an easy-to-use interface where you can create your own reports or run predefined reports.
Lifecycle Query Engine
Indexes the data from across your projects for near-live reporting and reporting on configurations.
Data Collection Component
Gathers the data from across your projects into the data warehouse for your reports.

For your data source, you use either Lifecycle Query Engine or the data warehouse. For more information on data sources, see Deciding which data source to use.
