Hi, could someone help me to answer the following questions from my
customer:
1) Is REPORTER another module of BMS or EMS (I meant can customer
buy it as a separate module like TS AM)?
2) Where can I obtain sample reports on IV/V/IP (pointer on the
network)?
3) If customer DO not have CDD/DTR, could they generate those
reports supplied with BMS/EMS?
4) If customer buys CDD/DTR (running on the same DECmcc workstation),
can they define their 'own' report formats (other than those
supplied with BMS/EMS) using DTR?
5) Is there any document that lists the format (fields appear) in
the supplied sample reports?
Thanks in advance for help!

Let me try and explain.
The "reporter" as you put it, is simply a set of DTR procedures
to extract data from an RDB database and either
- produce a textual report from it or
- produce a data file that DECgraph will read and generate a graph.
The procedures are run from DCL procedures run from batch and started
from a DCL based menu.
It is in no way integrated in to DECmcc.
Data is placed in RDB by EXPORT directives issued in DECmcc. Once the
data is there, you can use any tool you like that will access RDB to
produce reports of your own making.
Use of SQL will let you determine the database schema. Other 4GL tools
may do even more.
Keep in mind that what we refer to as "sample reports" is actually
"sample reporting procedures" that "could" be used as a prototype
for constructing your own reporting procedures.
Does this help?
