BIRT Reporting

In IBM Rational® Software Modeler and Architect®, BIRT can be used for reporting by producing an EMF representation of the DOORS traceability information:

  1. In the Project explorer, select the UML package that is represented in DOORS with a SurrogateModule
  2. Right click DOORS > Save DOORS Information for Reporting
  3. Choose a location where to export an XMI file containing DOORS information. The resulting XMI file is used as the "DOORS Data Source" for the selected template.

To generate a BIRT report on this DOORS data:

  1. Click Run > Report > Report Configurations... in the main menu
  2. Select the BIRT Report node and click New in the context menu
  3. Select the Built-in report DOORS Reports > DOORS Traceability Report
  4. Select the data sources.

The data sources are then chosen, and the report can be executed.
