My goal was to find a tool for DB2 databases which would provide me with:
• Full and robust reporting capabilities
• An easy to learn and easy to use product
• The ability to create special-purpose ViewPoints (file-specific pre-defined scripts) which can be used by unsophisticated users
• Batch processing capabilities in order not to tie-up the user’s session
• Minimal interference with AS/400 performance
Following is the list of benefits we have achieved using FileScope/Platinum:
• Quick and Easy
• Ability to perform batch processing
• Integration of FileScope into application menus
• Speed of the software, with many more options than Query
• Ability to make mass updates
• Journaling facilities to view temporary changes to a file by any user and also to monitor deleted records. (Note: These monitoring, tracking and reporting capabilities are especially important for companies which need to be HIPAA, SOX, PCI, etc. compliant.)
• Interactively viewing and editing file contents quickly and easily
• Product uses DB2-specific concepts (such as members, logical files, etc.) which is unique among products which support ODBC
• Short learning curve for most user’s queries
