For external reporting with Baan you can use Crystal Reports
or SSAs new partner Cognos.

Dear Dave,
Thanks for ur advice....
Have you made reporting in your company with tools reporting like u said n how about result ? Are u have document concept build reporting ?

Hi Mr Ronald,

If you are using SQL 2000 as your database, you can try using MS Reporting Services, I have tried this. Please find enclosed a demo for the same.

Regards
Rita

hello Rita,
Thanks for your information about reporting, Now we used SQL 2000 Reporting Service.
How according to you concerning about sql 2000 RS and as good this implement in did report in your company?

Hai Mrs. Rita

Thanks for your link document. btw have your been hear about cyberquery from cyberscience?? thats BI tools like crystal report.
Rita how about reporting in your company? and I wanted to ask moved in the field whether your company?

I've seen Crystal but not implemented it (yet), it's good, i think it's basically the standard for baan customers (Like Safari used to be)

with the native driver you can download Baan reports right into crystal and modify them (for crystal reporting) which is nice. and you can also see (elements of) the data model, etc from crystal as well so that's good too.

Dave

Hai dave,

how about your company have done user tools reporting or your company have another solution? can you share with me about reporting becoz i am basic user in reporting with baan?

Hi Mr Roland

My Company uses this technology for the clients. I have heard of Cyberquery but have never tried anything on it.

Could you try Reporting Services ??

Hallo rita,

Yup,my company using reporting services but along a month we used this tools. Do you have a friend had tried cyberquery ?
I`m hear SSAGlobal now gived platinum awards for cognos and any body have test this tools with baan ?

Hi Roland,

Though I am not able to answer all your queries, I can tell you that my company uses Crystal reports Professional V9.0 to link to Baan using Native drivers via ODBC. This is verty easy and does produce very professional reports. I don't know whether you ahave any experiance in using Crystal, but once the connection to the Baan database server is made, the rest is pretty simple. It is quite possible to produce


We have also used Safari previously. This too is not a bad choice.

Your best bet is to talk to your local Baan rep.

Hai ash,
thanks for urs information,
so urs company have done used this tools for the report and so far so good. have u document about making standarization reporting in manufacture comp food & beverange ?? maybe you can help me ? or something about make decesion of report in company.

Hi Mr Roland

In the main, my company tends to develop native Baan reports using tools. This way all Baan users can have access to this facility. Since Crystal requires a licence for each client, this can get expensive.
We tend to use Crystal mainly for central reporting, "nice" external documentation and ad-hoc reports. As a techie,I tend to use Crystal to interrogate data when fault finding. Very easy and quick to change parameters, selections, sorts etc, since its all GUI based.

If required can send you a sample of a few reports I have set up. Remember that we have Reger (5.2a) so the tables are much changed from 4c.

regards
Ash

Hi Mr Ash,

Can you please post the sample on board. I would like to have look at it.
