Rational Publishing Engine - RQM Multi Level Report Tutorial Stage 1 – Getting Started In this stage you will create a basic template with a link to RQM and generate the report. Getting started on your Template Templates are structured using Paragraphs and Containers, each can occur within the other. Containers are designed to iterate through sets of data. Paragraphs are designed to contain report details. Details can be added to the template by dragging from the palette or by right clicking in the outline and using the context menu. The structure can easily be modified by using drag and drop in the outline. Start by adding a paragraph to your template, Insert a Text box and add a basic description of the template. This will ensure you get a minimum output as you develop the report. The Text box can be removed later. Then add a container within the paragraph after the text box. Generate the document Now that you have a basic template, switch to the RPE Launcher view and set the parameters for the document specification Map the Output Targets to folders in your project folder. For a simple project these may be just separate folders for each type of output. Ensure the document name is included in the path. Eg C:\RPE\ProjectName\HTML\MyTemplate Map the path to the Data Source feed. This path was shown on the Data Source Basics page earlier in this presentation. It includes the basic path to the schema, followed by resources/RQM_ProjectName/feedname?abbreviate=false Feedname is the type of object in the feed, eg testplan, testcase Include the RQM Username and Password in the feed properties where required. Generate the document using the “Publish ? Generate Current Document” option or the icon on the toolbar. If the document is generated correctly you can view the reports from a menu that pops up. This will contain just the text you entered in the text box Once the document is generated save the description to a document specification folder with the same prefix
