WebTier, Huge Catalogs, Suggestion

rbuser

Hello,

In my case it would be great if the explorer of the webclient (trough the
webtier) would become more (intelligent).
Now it charges the complete tree in one go, if the jave scriptint would be
enhanced (flag on the rsWebtier ??) it would be realizable that at that
moment the sub-nodes are charges from the sever (with refresfing the page
content).
Why this idea ...
We have over 6.000 archived reports on a disk-structure, over 20 plats in 6
countries.
Quite a lot of plant-reports, country-report and overall-reports, this over
a history of 5 years .....
So each time you open a session with the reports server this complete tree
is charged, slow ...
So in my case, rebuilding the page several times still would be faster than
charging the tree each time !!

Kind Regards.

Thanks for the feedback. This would require a re-design of the current web
explorer or perhaps creating an entirely new one that can be used as an
option. Probaly will not happen soon.

1. I am willing to send you the source code to the existing web report
explorer if you would like to create a solution such as you describe. Send
an email to support@digital-metaphors.com if you are interested.

2. Using the existing exolorer, one solution would be to build a custom
search form or login form that is used to ask the user which reports they
are interested in - perhaps what country or countries and which plats and
which years. Then you could write custom code on the server side to return
only a subset of the directory nodes. (Like we do in the customer parameters
example).
