Introduction of Calling Quick Screens as Functions

[Hodson, Paul M EDUC:EX]

I think this group is your best resource....Maybe Bob can give you access to
"papers written in the cognos proceeding". 

Also one of the example on the group (previous) layout the approach. My only
comment is whether the processing needs db rollback or not, this delimits
which procedure should be used(init vs update).

AD: Lastly I am available for consultation ;-).

Where can I learn more about using quick as batch programs? I am a
newbie at Cognos QTP - it's very awkward for me without the looping
constructs.
Thanks.

We have a batch quick process(aka ghost screen) that processes a WEB
calls
(up to 2500 concurrent clients) from a JAVA app through oracle 8i blob
data
type and generates PDF output back to the WEB app(see www.sanface.com).
All
run from a batch quick engine running in "persistent" mode using  a
trigger
and an openVMS mailbox. This allows our CUI user to the have the same
processing as the WEB does (sharing the processing) and dressed up the
powerhouse CUI interface(lipstick on a pig - sorry but the WEB is much
sexier but why re-write if it ain't broke)

Also at another client, we have batch quick that is used as an interface
between Level 4 (business app) and Level 3 (steel mill line ops) that is
shared. DMQueue is used to pass messages with the same quick engine
running
6 different mill ops interfaces. Again sharing processing.

There are papers written in the cognos proceedings (user group meeting
minutes). One comes to mind "Quick:To Batch or not to batch" from the
1994
version.
