277307 - Document how to get DataVision (open-source Crystal Reports) working with Bugzilla

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Over Christmas I got DataVision working with Bugzilla, although I didn't have
the patience to produce particularly interesting reports. It would be good to
document this process - then, perhaps one of our customers will create reports
and submit them :-)

These notes are still valid, although you can copy the JAR into $DATAVISION_HOME/lib for it to be picked up automatically. You can also use com.mysql.jdbc.Driver instead of the older name, but both work.

This is really powerful. We should put this in the manual.

While it may be useful and valid, someone that's actually gone through the process and knows what DataVision etc. is is probably best placed to write the instructions for the manual.

Gerv--perhaps put it up in the Wiki? that's a good place for things like this, I think.
