EMS - Report Distribution

• "View" Facility
• Text Search Routing
• DASD Conservation
• PC Upload/Download

With the Report Distribution Facility (RDF), it is possible to take mainframe application data, extract and "envelope" it, and deliver it to one or many EMS users for on-line viewing, for filing, or for downloading to a PC.

For many organizations which consume large quantities of paper just for printing reports, the Report Distribution Facility can provide the benefits of

• paper elimination
• faster dissemination of information
• easier manipulation of data

RDF's "View" Facility provides a text search capability.

Even though a report may be distributed to multiple recipients, RDF remains efficient by keeping only one copy of the report on-line. Reports can be 255 characters wide and an unlimited number of lines in length.

Contents of a report or file can be scanned and routing triggered to one or multiple recipients. For example, a program generating "revenue data" can trigger the automatic routing of a "revenue data report" to an EMS distribution list that includes all senior managers.

Some users will want to take mainframe data and work with it on their PC. To do this, they can use EMS' Upload/Download capability.
