Re: running SQR (produces reports) on Unix box

["Johnson, Dan" <Dan_Johnson@WRIGHTEXPRESS.COM>]

When I was in school they were able to map the UNIX file system. In other
words if you went to the file explorer you would see your UNIX directories
as well as your NT ones. Perhaps you could do something like this. As to
running SQR on UNIX it works well. We generate over 500,00 pages of reports
every month and have few problems.

Good Luck,
Dan

        Hi, all-

        I want to hear from your experts out there, about possibilities of
running
        SQR reports on the Unix Server???

        (we are on SQR V4.3.4, Peoplesoft 7.52 application with 7.58 tools,
the Unix
        server HP-UX 11.0 , the NT server 4 SP 5 and SP 6A)

        Current situation in our shop

        *       For any sqr report processes, if they are not producing any
.lis
        file (reports) we will try to run them on Unix box (Server) to
improve
        performance.

        *       For any sqr report process producing any type of .lis file
        (reports), we are forced to run them on Client so any produced
reports
        (.lis) can be either printed (LPT1), or resided on the local drive
(C: ) or
        the network drive (NT) somewhere.

        Desired situation

        *       We would like to utilize Unix serve's horse power but not
sure the
        followings-

        *       If the sqr runs on the Unix, then all reports will be
generated in
        the Unix directory, how do we efficiently ftp reports back to the NT
network
        drive?
        *       Is any software in the market, which allows sqr running on
Unix to
        produce reports on the NT side (instead of Unix side)
        *       What are your experiences and suggestions?
