Reporting requires data providers for providing the data for the report, getting data
from the sources to the output, and specifying which data to report on and how to present
it.
The following diagram shows the data providers, data sources and components that are used to
create the reports, which can be embedded in dashboards or exported into various formats:Figure 1. Reporting architecture

Data warehouse reporting architecture
With data warehouse reporting, the following components are needed to collect data in Engineering Lifecycle Management:
The data warehouse does not contain information about configuration-enabled projects. To report
on configuration data, use Lifecycle Query Engine and the
Report Builder
from Jazz Reporting Service.
All of the components can be installed together or separately.
Lifecycle Query Engine
reporting architecture
You can use indexed data from Lifecycle Query Engine data
providers to report on artifacts across projects or versioned data in configurations. When you use
Lifecycle Query Engine
reporting to collect data, the following components are needed in Engineering Lifecycle Management:
Applications and their data storage
Jazz Team
Server and its data storage
Lifecycle Query Engine
The Report Builder is also
needed to create reports on a project or across the projects with versioned data in configurations.
Jazz Reporting Service
includes the Lifecycle Query Engine and the
Report Builder.
For more information, see Deciding which Engineering Lifecycle Management reporting option to use.
Live reporting architecture
With live reporting, data in the
application and Jazz Team
Server data
storage is accessed by using REST APIs and transform files. It is the same way that the data
collection jobs access the information in data warehouse reporting. However, the data is
immediately pulled from the application data store and transformed into report output, rather than
being stored in the data warehouse.
