View the Web Samples Reports

Datamart contains a set of sample web reports designed using BIRT (http://eclipse.org/birt/), an open source technology for data reporting. These reports can be viewed against any database configuration by using the Tomcat web server installed with StarTeam Server.

To deploy the sample reports onto a Tomcat web server, do the following:

  1. Copy datamart.war to C:\Program Files\<StarTeam install>\apache-tomcat-<version>\webapps\datamart.war.
  2. Ensure the service Apache Tomcat for OpenText applications is started/restarted.
  3. Copy the .stxtract file used for extraction and rename it to Datamart.stxtract.
  4. Configure the Datamart database connection for the reports in the Datamart.stxtract file.
  5. Once the Tomcat web server is started, the Datamart.stxtract file needs to run be copied to C:\Program Files\<StarTeam install>\apache-tomcat-<version>\webapps\datamart\scriptlib\Datamart.stxtract.
  6. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/datamart/index.jsp to view the reports.

The samples include a Story cumulative flow with must have combined report which provides insight into the delivery of the Must Have payload for the release.

This report uses the MoSCoWMust Have tags, which can be created and applied in StarTeam Agile using the following steps:

  1. Open the StarTeam Agile Backlog view.
  2. Click the Tags panel.
  3. Add the following hierarchical server tag: 
    MoSCoW (using the ‘add parent tag’ button) 
     ->Must Have (using the ‘add child tag ’ button)
     ->Should Have(using the  ‘add child tag ’ button)
     ->Could Have(using the  ‘add child tag ’ button)

    Once the tags are created, the stories in the backlog need to be tagged appropriately as Must Haves, Could Haves and Should Haves.
