  • Subject: Using PC software to report on Infinium Software's DB2 files
  • From: jomullins@xxxxxxxx
  • Date: Tue, 2 Jun 1998 10:44:09 -0400

The company I work for has recently purchased and implemented most of
Infinium Software's modules.  We use Reflection for IBM for Windows NT
version 6.01 for terminal emulation.  We are receiving requests to make
available to PC software packages, such as MS Access or Showcase Strategy,
the AS/400 data for reporting purposes.  It is my understanding that
Showcase has the capability to use the Infinium security model for data
access.  Our company is VERY conscientious about data security.

What kind of issues and/or problems will we encounter with a setup such as
this?  We already have users building MS Access applications that they want
data from the AS/400 loaded into and have demonstrated them to management.
As you know, a GUI application looks and feels much better to managers than
the "Green Screens".    Additionally, we have purchased, but not yet
implemented, Infinium's Desktop interface.

We are new to both the AS/400 and Infinium worlds.  Our IS department
consists of 4 employees.  Management has requested input from IS concerning
the AS/400 to PC solution.  Any information, especially about data security
risks, would be most helpful.
