Re: DB2 Web Query

["Alfredo Delgado" <adelgado@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our LUG had a presentation on Web Query this past Tuesday and from what I
saw -- compared to our present BI solution -- I came away thinking only
"Power Users" need to be given named accounts. Active Reports ($800 system
license) and PDF reports can be detached from the data so a named account is
not necessary to simply consume that information. For me, the missing piece
of the puzzle at this point is how much Information Builder's Report Caster
costs. That program lets you schedule generating and distributing the
detached reports. Additionally, according to Gene in Rochester, without
Report Caster you can only schedule reports to a spool file.
