Aonix® UltraQuest Adds HTML Report Output
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — December 7, 2001 — Aonix, a member of the Gores
Technology Group and a leading provider of S/390 reporting and data access
tools, announced today a new release of its Web-enabled, business
intelligence software, UltraQuest™ version 3.5. The new release's HTML
report output facility allows users to significantly enhance the
appearance of reports when delivered to their Web browser.
UltraQuest provides end users with easy Web access to S/390 data
sources, including IBM’s DB2 for OS/390 or VM, VSAM, IMS, IDMS, Teradata,
NOMAD and QSAM. With the new release, this HTML-formatted report output
may be delivered directly to the Web browser, sent as an email attachment,
or held for review and subsequent distribution. These formatted reports
can be dynamically built from UltraQuest Reporter and published to
UltraQuest Library for use via Web browsers.
"HTML formatting of reports is controlled by the use of templates which
are defined and stored centrally," noted Scot Stoney, Director of
Marketing for Enterprise Business Intelligence Solutions at Aonix. "These
templates can be easily applied to a wide variety of reports for
customization and quick redesign. In addition, users of the UltraQuest
Library can apply templates to published reports providing their own
views."
This latest release also supports Velocity Software's ESAWEB Web server
under the VM operating system. Velocity Software, known as the experts in
VM performance, offers ESAWEB as a very fast VM Web server, yet priced
inexpensively.
UltraQuest 3.5 also provides report publishing from the users desktop,
a centralized library of standard, reusable reports and menus, email
output for report distribution, and batch support with administrative
services, alerts, and output redirection.
UltraQuest, which includes a mainframe-based application server, works
through a Web server to provide three services:
UltraQuest Reporter: for interactive,
real-time access to reports and data extracts from mainframe data sources
UltraQuest Library: a shared library
of reports, published from UltraQuest Reporter, which are available
through Web browser menus
UltraQuest Applications: custom
applications, built using the UltraQuest server and the underlying
UltraQuest 4GL. These applications may involve reports as well as data
queries and updates.
