Customize reports

In addition to the standard reports provided by Report Generator, you can create your own custom reports. You can also customize the report layout by creating and using your own XSL style sheets.

Report Generator generates an XML file (report_data.xml) that acts as a source of data when reports are generated.

Note

The PLM XML schema is the default schema. If you used other XML schemas in the previous versions of Teamcenter, you must change a value in the cmereport_user.properties file to view that report.

Switch between PLM XML and other XML schemas

1. Open the cmereport.properties and cmereport_user.properties files located in the TC_ROOT\portal\plugins\com.teamcenter.rac.cme.cmereport_9000.0.0\com\teamcenter\rac\cme\cmereport directory.

2. From the cmereport.properties file, copy the line that contains report_xml_file_type to the cmereport_user.properties file.

3. In the cmereport_user.properties file, change the report_xml_file_type value to either plmxml for PLM XML schema or xml for other XML schemas.

4. Save the modified cmereport_user.properties file.

5. Restart the rich client.
