Hello,

I need help testing availability and stability or Report Manager Web
Report server, please play with it and say your impressions.

The web server will be up at least 24 hours from now. To connect:

http://80.32.237.17/cgi-bin/repwebexe.bin/login

User: Admin
Blank password

It generates pdf files from report definitions, asking you the
report parameters.

Report Manager main page is http://reportman.sourceforge.net

Please be patiente, the server is a old Pentium 133, running Apache
1.2, Suse 7.3, and with only 48Megabytes of RAM, it's also the
database server (Firebird) for the generated reports. The internet
connection is an ADSL (128 Out/256 In)

If all is ok next release will contain this Web Report Server and
documentation to setup it in Linux Apache and Windows IIS.

Thanks

Nice, works perfectly for me :)

I just start 2 days ago migrating all my reports from QuickReport to Rave.
Rave is a great tool, but it's not OpenSource. I saw sometimes ago
ReportManager, but I don't know why, I forgot it when it was time to decide
which report tool to use. But I still can leave Rave and use it (I love
OpenSource).

I've just read the features of ReportManager and it seems that it's a pretty
complete tool. I still have some questions :

* Is it an obligation to use the report server ? If I just have one
application doing reports on 1 client, I don't know if I want to have a
service just to do it.
* What are the real charting capabilities of Report Manager ? I have some
Quick Report reports using TeeChart. Is it easy to migrate them. (Rave
doesn't have charting at all !)
* I see External sections in the features. Does that mean that I can use a
section from a report stored in another file than the current report ?
* Can I have diagonal lines (neither horizontal nor vertical) ?
* Is the project alive ? (Well I guess it's alive, you just released a nice
web server, but what I really want to know is : Will I have to wait 18
months between versions ?)
* what are the other advantages of ReportManager over RaveReport ?
* are there a lot of users of ReportManager ? A lot of user means a lot of
maintainer ?
* What about donnating ReportManager to the Jedi Project ? You'll still be
the owner and you'll get more developpers.

Well, in fact, can you tell me why I should use ReportManager instead of
RaveReport ? :)

I stop the migration of my reports until I get your answers, I think
ReportMan is a nice product and I have to look furher ...

PS : If I ever decide to use ReportManager, I'm ready, in the limits of my
free time of course (even if, at the moment, I don't have so much free time
...) to help the project
