The DB2® Web Query for System i™ product is a Web-based query and report writing product that offers enhanced capabilities over the IBM® Query for iSeries® (also commonly known as Query/400) product. IBM DB2 Web Query for System i includes Query for iSeries technology to assist customers in their transition to DB2 Web Query. It offers a more modernized, Java™-based solution for a more robust, extensible, and productive reporting solution. DB2 Web Query provides Report Assistant, Graph Assistant, and Power Painter. Using these tools, customers can modernize existing Query for iSeries reports while providing a foundation for building more complex business intelligence applications, such as online analytical processing (OLAP), data mining, dash boarding, or data warehouse implementations.
This IBM Redbook publication gives a broad understanding of the new DB2 Web Query product. It entails a group of self-explanatory tutorials to help you get up to speed quickly. Overall this book is designed for IT users. You can extract and use Part 2, "Tutorials for DB2 Web Query," and Part 3, "Tutorials for DB2 Web Query optional features," as stand-alone tutorials for anyone who is developing their own queries. Much of Chapter 8, "Active Reports," is appropriate for those who work disconnected from the System i environment. In addition, you can use much of Chapter 10, "Online analytical processing," if you will simply be running OLAP-enabled reports. |
