1637.0. "Running Reports remote from MCC station" by WELCLU::CRIDDLE (Graham Criddle, DS Tech Consultant, 853-4015) Thu Oct 10 1991 14:57

    Hi...
    
    I have a customer who is planning to install MCC/EMS on a VS3100 and
    wants to use the Reports component including Graphs.
    
    Does he need to install CDD,Datatrieve and DECgraph on the 3100 or is
    it possible to offload the reporting work to other systems (which
    already have some of the necessary layered products?
    
    Rgds,

    RDB supports remote databases so the RDB files "could" be located
    on the system with the reporting tools and the reports could be
    generated on that system.
    
    Note that the data is in RDB and can be accessed by ANY applications or
    tools that can access RDB. Datatrieve is not a required way of doing
    it.

	When we chose to use the "Datarieve approach", we knew it would
	be  too expensive  for  most  sites.    We  had  almost  always
	envisioned that the ws would output to an Rdb database and that
	the  file  would  either  be   accessed  remotely  by  an  "MIS
	Datacenter" machine, or copied to that machine.

	The clear answer is that you  do NOT need CCD and Datatrieve on
	the ws, but you do need the Rdb RTO (licence is free).
