Automate Generating Reports

Good Morning:

I've searched the forum but didn't find what I was looking for. Is there a way to automate generating reports in datapage? In know you can save queries with a specific date range. I can just update the date range for what i'm looking for. My problem is that the tolerances for the features are different. 0.001-0.015". From my experience, with using a saved query, it doesn't keep individual tolerances. So all features are 0.001 or 0.005 or 0.010 and so on.

  • Dude, I wonder if you can check something. Using Visual Studio to connect to the database, is it possible to adjust things like the MMC/RFS tags, or to modify bonus tolerance in a way that actually updates the values?

    For reference, if you import a TP dimension that has MMC set, the value that DataPage uses to calculate bonus tolerance (for reporting TP tolerance on the report) is the value that it receives on import. It will not update the bonus tolerance calculated on the report (changing the TP tolerance based on the feature MMC) if you change the values though the Data Editor tab. And DataPage techs confirmed that this is how it was programmed to function, and as usual, it will not be changed, because the DataPage people don't give a fk about their customers.


    Vinni you're free to do whatever you can come up with SQL. I cannot see DP's query strings let alone modify them, so you're stuck with whatever they supply....or until I come across them. DP is a 'front end' that querys data from MSSQL server, you could build your own front end similar to DP and do what you feel like doing.

    I'm not knocking DP in any way, I finally see the good use it supplies. Though how do you build a piece of software that pleases everyone? Very difficult IMO we're a niche I would say so experimenting and tweaking the software is almost a MUST.

    Vinni, if you have DP I recommend installing Visual Studio and tapping in to your existing MSSQL server and take a look at all your data, it's fun.
  • No worries. I just thought I'd ask before trying to dive into it myself. Slight smile
