About the HCL Compass Reporting Driver

The HCL Compass Reporting Driver provides Compass authenticated access to Compass data sources to design and run data-pull reports.

The HCL Compass Reporting Driver partially implements the Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) API, which enables various reporting tools to consume HCL Compass data. The JDBC implementation uses the HCL Compass Web server API to interface with Compass, thus preserving the Compass security model and providing data access by third-party reporting tools such as the Business Intelligence Reporting (BIRT) tools. The HCL Compass Reporting Driver is packaged as an Eclipse plug-in named com.hcl.ccm.cq<version>.<timestamp>.jar. This plug-in is installed automatically with any Compass component.

The HCL Compass Reporting Driver is supported for use by the following reporting and development tools.
  • BIRT Report Designer
  • BIRT Server runtime
  • Eclipse Workbench
The HCL Compass Reporting Driver is automatically installed to the following directory during the installation of any Compass feature:
Windows™
<compass_home>\reports\driver
UNIX™ or Linux™
<traxiem_home>/reports/driver
