1735.0. "User Friendly Reporting? when?" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Tue Oct 29 1991 12:01

    When comparing our report generation capabilities in DECmcc, its
    nowhere near some our competitors, with easy to use point and click
    interface.  
    
    Our method of report generation is still very diffcult, imagine trying
    to learn CDDplus and DATATRIEVE or INGRES/SQL for the ultrix side. 
    There are alot of customers here crying when trying to customize
    reports.
    
    Are there any plans to have easy to use, point and click interfaces for
    report generation.  This is another area where our customers are
    demanding for a better user interface which is integrated into the
    DECmcc, something like DECquery for Windows kind of interface, where one can
    structure their own report by mouse actions.

1735.2part os service delivery tools developmentCALIFE::PATELWe'll get it right on the nightMon Dec 02 1991 14:2218
    We in service delivery tools development are working on just this
    capability, however its on a shoe string budget.

    This functionality is to be used in a environment where DEC has sold
    a Network Management and Operations Service
    
    The idea is to be able to bring up a reporting screen, from which the
    user gets shown the global instances, gets to choose the type of report
    ie error rate utilization etc, then gets given a selection of child
    instances available (ie line qna-0, qna-1 etc).

    
    This is is in phase 1 (just about got the top level design done) so
    it's a little too early to give exacts on the end results.

    prod me again in say 3-4 weeks and I will get docs to you.
