Re: is this need for SEQUEL or other product

Do you use SQL Server in your shop? SQL Report Server is all web based and
is free if you have SQL Server.

Write your data interface in RPG and call as stored procedures and return
to SQL Report Servier.

there is currently nothing that use the IBM i to the web except for
receiving of web orders. I don't know that process except that it
frequently hiccups. Otherwise only way we present data outside of the green
screen, is the Crystal report

SQL? etc. etc.

Rather difficult to recommend anything if one is not familiar with SAP
Dashboards.

Is the SAP option really that cheap? I didn't think they did anything

for

less that 5 digits - are you sure this isn't per user or something?

They would like to have graphical quick view of these statuses. So all
levels of managers on same page so to speak, how many orders in this

or

that status etc.

I am asked to do this in Crystal reports, or SAP Dashboards. I just

went

thru doing the SAP Dashboards (Xcelsius) trial version, and let's just

say,

the desire to work with this thing is not there... However SAP

Dashboards

has a nice feature of publishing as mobile app. Never used it though.

And I know crystal reports graphs are not that great. I really think

that

this is a need for browser interface. I would suggest writing in C#

using

Dev Express but this will be costly for them I think.

Does the cost come into play? sure. The SAP Dashboards full blown will

cost

about $2500.

Can you suggest other product which can be quickly learnt and be able

give

them the browser quick views needed.
