Cognos WEB

[Deskin, Bob]

Just so everyone knows where we are with the OpenVMS issues. Our original
beta version worked with the FastTrack server that we had at the time. After
fixing some subtle bugs, we are running into issues with the latest version.
We are in the process of resolving those issues. We have some of our OpenVMS
beta sites continuing development using the beta version pending release.
I'd give a date but I'm afraid it would jinx us. However, I expect this will
be by the end of August (which includes final QC and manufacturing time).
The Windows NT and HP-UX versions are available. New versions on those
platforms will be released at about the same time as the OpenVMS version.
Keep in mind that PowerHouse Web gives you a choice of where you put your
Web server and application. Based on the information provided by our OpenVMS
beta sites, a common configuration in the OpenVMS world will be to have the
Web server on a Windows NT box and the application on the OpenVMS machine.

Hi Mark,

I am new to the newsgroup and have been waiting for someone to ask that
question.

We might be in the same situation you are... trying to figure out where to
begin.  We presently run 7.10.F in an Alpha OpenVMS environment but will
likely to deploy Powerhouse Web in an NT environment.  Contrary to the
Cognos promotional material, no one here or at Cognos were able to get the
product to talk to a Web Server (FastTrack) on the Alpha.

A couple weeks back we successfully converted a small Quick screen to
Powerhouse Web and got it to run using Apache on a Windows 95 box.  It was
enough to keep our interest peaked.  One of our greater challenges now is
what to do about our data.  Presently we are using RMS files on the Alpha.
Powerhouse Web will run using RMS files but I think its time to convert to
something like Oracle.

Do we have any common ground?
