About the DTP and GRS Databases

There are two databases associated with DTP:

DTP DatabaseThe DTP database introduced in DTP 5.0 stores user data and data associated with Report Center. The DTP database includes support for data from Parasoft DTP Engines for C/C++, Java, and .NET. All current DTP features use data stored in the DTP database.
GRS DatabaseThe GRS database stores Project Center data, such as defects and enhancements, and plays an important role in DTP's predecessor, Concerto, as well as older versions of DTP. If you upgraded to Development Testing Platform from Parasoft Concerto and you still need access to Concerto data, you will need to make sure you are connected to the GRS database. You must configure the connection to the DTP database to take advantage of the features associated with those tools, as well as future features Parasoft will release for Development Testing Platform.

 Each DTP server should be connected to its own database to avoid data-related problems.

Checking Database Updater Status

  1. Choose Report Center from the Administration drop-down menu.
  2. Choose Tools> Update Database> Db Updater Status to view statistics about the current Report Center database structure, including the internal database version number.

Uploading Reports to Data Collector

You can upload XML report files generated by Parasoft code analysis tools directly to DTP.

  1. Choose Report Center from the Administration drop-down menu.
  2. Choose Tools> Data Collector Uploader Form.
  3. Click Choose File and browse for the report you want to upload.

You can add the Data Collector Diagnostics widget to your dashboard to verify that the report was uploaded to the database.

Check your report configuration settings if the widget returns a status error. See the DTP Engine documentation for details.
