Reporting Tool Evaluation

Search this documentation



We have narrowed our evaluation down to two potential candidates:

Jaspersoft from Tibco and Toad from Quest.  For each of these solutions we are exploring adhoc and canned reporting capabilities and associated features.

 Jaspersoft:

  • Use Jasper Server (we have installed a trial of the Enterprise version) for ad-hoc reporting and publishing reports. **You must be on Yale Secure or VPN to access
    • Use these credentials to login:
      • Organization: Sandbox
      • User: test_user
      • Password: testuser
    • How to access
    • You will need to create a domain in order to use the ad-hoc reporting functionality
  • Use Jasper Studio to create canned reports, you can publish directly to Jasper Server from the studio
  • Additional Resources: https://community.jaspersoft.com/

 

Toad:

  • Use Toad Data Point for Canned Reporting ** We have not yet explored using Toad for ad-hoc reporting though documentation says it is possible.
  • Use Toad Intelligence Central for Publishing ** IN PROGRESS we are still having issues connecting to a data source *** There does not appear to be a feature in Toad Intelligence Central for report creation
    • Select ‘Register as new user:
    • **You must be on Yale Secure or VPN to access
    • Create an account at: http://172.17.172.75/ to connect to the toad server in browser
