RE: Web Reporting Tools

<vendor response>
RJS has a commercial wrapper for jasper reports as well. CL commands you
can use from CL or RPG. We also have extensions you can use over spool
files from your existing applications.

And, if you want to run those Jasper reports from RPG then you could use
the wrapper I wrote that will run those jasper reports from the i.

You can find it here:

Hello, everyone. We have yet to venture into web-based reporting,
and I have not seen any recent discussion on the topic here. We have

an academic ERP system (DB2/RPG) that does finances as well as
student information recordkeeping. Reporting is a sore point. We do

not want a data warehouse that copies the data on a scheduled basis
and produces stale reports. It's live, real time, or nothing. We
anticipate that most queries would be developed in IT and published
for the users to run, perhaps with some parm options.

I have seen lots of press on IBM Web Query, as well as competing apps

from independent software vendors. I would be very interested to
hear what you have chosen for your shop and what the deciding factor

was.

I've been using jasperreports for this sort of thing. The deciding
factor was that it is all java and therefore portable across systems.

It produces HTML, PDF, CSV, and Excel output.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
