RE: JBA Reporting

The ODBC link (for Crystal) can become very slow depending upon the table
size accessed from the AS400.  Information warehoused in another database,
such as SQL Server or Oracle for example, has exponentially faster access
the larger the data becomes on the AS400.  However, this is limited to data
that is not constantly updated (i.e. pulled hourly or nightly) where real
time is critical.

I found the ODBC driver quite slow when trying to create Crystal Reports - 
how are you connecting to the AS/400?

Crystal Reports is a terrific product. We use Version 8.5, but there is a
newer one out now.

We use it for System 21 and other AS/400 programs - even tying System 21
records with our HR program.
Reports can be dynamic or static - we publish static reports to our 
Intranet
site for users.
It also has a built in SQL Wizard which comes in handy sometimes.

We are searching for a better report writing method than query. Has anyone
used the Crystal product and how did it work for you?
