Extraction
Despite the multitude of query tools on the market claiming to simplify DB2 access and reporting over the Web, you are still searching for a solution—a solution that does the following:
- Provides superior performance and maximum security
- Can be deployed from the System i (AS/400) without desktop software installation
- Allows in-depth analysis of your data in one query
- Minimizes the need for multiple report writers for each specific application
- Offers ease of use in implementation support and training
- Provides point-and-click query definition
- Satisfies the requirements of all your users
The solution...Qport Builder!
More than Just Point and Click
With Qport Builder and its companion module Qport Access™, you can create and execute reports on demand and then download the results to your favorite desktop application. Available as a robust graphical user interface and as a Java-based applet through your favorite Web browsing software, Qport Builder features a powerful, mouse-driven, point-and-click environment; easy navigation; consistent panel design; and pop-up boxes. Qport Builder offers users much more than just another pretty Windows user interface. Qport Builder builds on the superior functionality in IQ Server™ (IQ), NGS’ powerful, advanced-function query and reporting software, to create complex, customized reports.
Streamlined Workflow
User training and access is simplified with Qport Builder. Its ease of use allows non-technical users to quickly generate their own ad-hoc queries and even multi-up labels without IS assistance. Power users can rapidly generate customized reports that would take other query and reporting tools five or six separate queries of their data to produce.
Internet Capabilities
Your remote sites and traveling business users can meet all of their reporting requirements easily by using Qport Builder via the Internet. Qport Builder users who have Internet access and a current System i user ID and password can build and run queries on demand. You retain complete control of the job’s priority and execution mode (interactive or batch) just as if a local user requested the query.
Advanced Features
Unlike most Windows-based query tools, Qport Builder’s interface to IQ Server goes beyond basic data retrieval. Advanced functions include the following:
- Conditional and summary new fields
- File join wizards and macros
- Meaningful database aliases
- Run-time record selection and exclusion
- Record sampling
- Union and file member support
- Extensive formatting
- Multidimensional matrix reporting
- Rankings, averages, sums, and totals
- Summary and detail output
- HTML, XML, PDF output
- E-mail and FTP for report distribution
- Leading edge DB2 security
Seamless Integration
With seamless interface to your business applications—such as Production, Shipping, Human Resources, and Accounting—Qport Builder can quickly become your enterprise-wide solution.
Superior Performance
Qport Builder gives you the best of both worlds—today’s Windows and Web technology and the power, high performance, low maintenance, and reliability of the mid-range computer. Qport Builder takes advantage of the processing capacity of the System i to get results quickly, while minimizing the performance requirements of the client workstation.
