Rational Publishing Engine

The Right Information at the Right Time

Document creation made simple

IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine is designed for ease-of-use. You don’t need to change the way you work to enjoy the benefits of Rational Publishing Engine. Built-in capabilities to extract data from a range of data sources can help reduce manual work and risk of errors. You have the option of generating documents within your preferred application such as IBM® Rational® DOORS® for requirements management, or IBM® Rational® Tau for modeling, or directly from the Rational Publishing Engine interface. Regeneration of a document, including the latest data from the source applications, is only a click away.

Rational Publishing Engine includes predefined templates with guidelines that help you get up and running quickly. You can design the content and format of your documents with a full suite of tools for creating and editing templates, intuitively designed with features such as drag-and-drop and preview capabilities. These capabilities, and more, can help you create documents quickly and easily.

High performance document generation

Rational Publishing Engine is designed for speed, agility and scalability.

The in-built capability to extract data from IBM Rational solutions and
third-party products help you generate systems and software documentation in a timely manner. Capabilities such as parallel processing enhance your document generation performance, helping you deliver documents on time.

High quality, elegant documents

With Rational Publishing Engine, you get a document generation application that can help you create elegant, easy-to-read, multi-source documents in formats that include Microsoft Word®, PDF, and HTML, and XSL-FO, with a completely flexible document style.

Documents generated with Rational Publishing Engine support an extensive range of features such as richly formatted text, tables of contents and OLEs. Rational Publishing Engine will automatically extract data from a single source (e.g. one or more modules in a Rational DOORS database) or combine data from multiple sources (e.g. Rational DOORS modules and IBM Rational Tau models). The advanced capabilities of Rational Publishing Engine will help you produce easily updated, high quality documents.

How it Works

Rational Publishing Engine provides a quick, easy solution for document generation from data held in Rational DOORS, Rational Tau, Rational RequisitePro, Rational ClearCase, Rational ClearQuest, Rational Quality Manager, Rational TestManager, and third-party applications including any XML data source. You can run the document generation manually or in batch mode for unattended use. You can either use the predefined templates or design your own using the intuitive and interactive Document Studio application.
