The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
One consideration is to overcome difficulties in providing
protected & restricted access to the data, for those external to the
organization. By using "push", there is no requirement to "open up"
the system to external access that would allow performing a "pull"
over an interface as "open" as ODBC\JDBC and with minimal complexity
as compared to setting up VPN and\or similar specialized access,
authorized specific to each external entity.
Additionally, having the data extract and generation of the
/report/ done locally for "push" allows scheduling the load on the
system versus allowing possibly untimely requests that could either
impact other processing [for well-formed queries or otherwise] or
possibly for failing to meet SLA requirements for those doing the
"pull" because they must be downgraded in run priority to prevent
impacting other work on the system.

<<SNIP>> What advantages does the RPG POI "Push" approach have
over alternatives such as iSeries Navigator Excel plug in or
using an Excel Web query where you can "pull" data into excel. It
seems the "pull" approaches allows you to format cells, produce
formulas, pivot tables, etc using WYSIWYG built in Excel
utilities versus coding cells in RPG/Java logic? Isn't this much
more productive?
