Reporting architecture overview
Reporting requires data sources to provide the data for the report, a way of getting data from the sources to the output, and a way of specifying which data to report on and how to present it. This section describes the basic architecture that supports these steps for reporting on IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) application data.
- BIRT = Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools
- DCC = Data Collection Component
- DOORS® = IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS
- DOORS Next = IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next
- DW = Data warehouse
- ETL = Extract, transform, and load
- ETM = IBM Engineering Test Management
- EWM = IBM Engineering Workflow Management
- JTS = IBM Jazz® Team Server
- LQE = Lifecycle Query Engine
- TRS = Tracked Resource Set
Data warehouse reporting architecture
With data warehouse reporting, there are three main required architectural components in ELM: applications and their data storage; Jazz Team Server and its data storage; and the data warehouse. There is also an optional reporting component: Jazz Reporting Service, which includes Data Collection Component, Report Builder, and Lifecycle Query Engine. See Deciding which ELM reporting option to use. The data warehouse does not contain information about configuration-enabled projects. To report on configuration data, use Lifecycle Query Engine.
All of the components can be installed together or separately.
