IQ Client + WebRunner: Bridge Builder

 Posted on September 15, 2016 by Bill Langston

Are you an NGS-IQ query developer who hasn’t had time to get familiar with our Web reporting features? You’ve probably seen us demonstrate WebRunner and IQ Client’s HTML design features, but up to now, your company has left Web software development and support in the hands of a separate person or team that views your IBM i environment as an uncharted island, best avoided. Maybe you feel the same way about that team’s strangely named Web servers, languages, and development tools. There’s a lot to be gained by connecting these islands. Let NGS help you build a bridge between IBM i and Web experts in your company. IQ Client and WebRunner can be the catalyst.

If you’ve never set up or just rarely used Apache Web Server for IBM i, we encourage you to contact us so we can guide you through the steps. It usually doesn’t take more than a few minutes. If you have NGS-IQ queries that your users might like to run from a Web browser, help us introduce your Web developers to the HTML report design features of IQ Client. We can help them install IQ Client and you can identify a few queries to download and copy. After that, we can teach them how to add the HTML design touches needed to transform your query into an attractive Web report that can be run from a portal or Web page. Along the way, you may both become a lot more comfortable with each other’s area of expertise.
