WebReport/400 is an e-Business software product for the IBM iSeries-AS/400. It provides two functions for electronically processing iSeries-AS/400 reports. It can send reports as E-mail. It can also convert reports to simple HTML, RTF, PDF, XLS or CSV documents for deployment on a company's Intranet or at their Internet Website.

Using WebReport/400, users within an organization can:

• Automatically send daily sales reports to field sales staff as E-mail

• E-mail control reports to management rather than printing lots of one and two page reports that just get thrown away every day

• Post weekly and monthly sales reports to an Intranet Website rather then printing multiple copies for manual distribution

• Automatically route status reports and joblogs from overnight processing for early morning checking by programmers

• Post customer-based reports to the organizations Internet Website

• Transfer report contents to an electronic spreadsheet.

• Transfer any OS/400 spool file to another system for printing.

• Archive a spool file for later restoration and printing on your system.

WebReport/400 will process any character-based report from the AS/400 print spool. Users can execute the functions manually or set them up to run automatically. The software provides commands to permit calls to WebReport/400 features from user application programs as well.

WebReport/400 comes as a choice of two different products. WebReport/400 contains all of the basic features described at this website except the Adobe Acrobat, XLS, OS/400 spool file transfer and CSV conversions. When you purchase WebReport/400 PDF, it adds the support for Adobe Acrobat, XLS, OS/400 spool file transfer and CSV conversions. With the PDF version, WebReport/400 can also process AFPDS and IPDS spool files, including AFPDS overlays. This feature lets you merge document overlays with your spool files.

WebReport/400 sends reports as E-mail attachments. Users can send E-mail distribution to a single user or to an unlimited number users concurrently. WebReport/400 works with standard E-mail server functions included in OS/400. It will distribute to internal E-mail addresses or to external addresses via the Internet. Reports can be distributed as either TXT (Text), RTF (Rich Text Format), PDF (Adobe Acrobat), XLS (Excel spreadsheet), OS/400 spool files or CSV (Comma Separated Values) E-mail attachments. Destination Email addresses can be stored in a built-in Address Book. These addresses can then be referred to by easy to enter abbreviated names.

WebReport/400 can also convert reports into simple HTML, RTF, PDF, XLS or CSV documents. Users can then deploy these documents for viewing by any web browser software. It can make reports available for either Intranet use within an organization or viewing at an Internet Website. For HTML conversions, WebReport/400 will even generate a link index to the report for faster reference, including a quick skip to the end of the report. It can also add HTML code blocks at the beginning or end of your report. Using this feature, you can include standard banners and other options that you can code using HTML. PDF conversions also include a page index for quick reference and a variety of security features to provide for password access control and other security restrictions.

WebReport/400 will also let you store your spool files in spool file format in your shared folder system or anywhere in the Integrated File System. Once the spool files are stored, you can then archive them to CD-Rom or store them off-line. At any time, you can recall these spool files back onto your system. This lets you create permanent copies of your spool files for archive purposes.

With Release 8, WebReport/400 also now contains event monitoring features with integrated email notification. The Message Monitor will watch any message queue on your system and notify you when a qualifying message has been received in the queue. The File Monitor function can be used to keep track of critical files on your system and let you know when someone adds a record, deletes a record, updates a record and even reads a record from the file.

WebReport/400 includes a history log that records all operations within WebReport/400. Users can view or print the log to track activity within the software product.
