Powerhouse on AS/400

[Whittall, Conrad]

While it is true that Cognos currently has no plans to enhance the
functionality of the AS/400 version of PowerHouse 4GL, we do still fully
support the 6.07F version of the product. This means that we provide full
telephone and web-based technical support (through the customer support
portal at http://support.cognos.com), and will correct any serious product
issues while maintaining both operating system and data access compliance.

Also, while we normally rely on IBM's claims for upward compatibility for
later versions of OS/400, we are scheduling testing of PowerHouse 4GL 6.07F
on both OS/400 V4R4 and V4R5 for next month. We do not anticipate any
problems, however, if any are found they will be corrected -- which may
require us to rebuild the product on a later version of OS/400, which will
then be available on request to supported customers through Cognos Customer
Support.

We also support access to AS/400 data through ODBC from our Windows-based
versions of PowerHouse 4GL, PowerHouse Web and Axiant 4GL. Hence it is quite
possible to use PowerHouse technologies to deploy three-tier applications
(with an Axiant thin-client on the users' Windows desktop connecting to
PowerHouse 4GL on Windows NT/2000 servers, which access data on an AS/400)
or web-based applications (with a web browser on the users' desktop
connecting with your web server on Windows NT/2000 or UNIX, which directs
application requests to PowerHouse Web on Windows NT/2000 servers accessing
data on the AS/400). These Windows-based versions of the PowerHouse products
fully support embedded SQL, which can often result in more efficient data
handling and network usage against relational data sources.

Best regards,
Conrad
