Thank you that is something I will have to look into now.

I was reading the BAQ chapter out of the "Epicor Users Tools" book. The last couple pages of the BAQ chapter talks about "Generate ASP" by following instruction in the book. I was able to create the search page and export with data from the Training Database.

When I execute the ASP page, I get the search page just like you see in the book. I get some type of ASP code inside each one of the two search boxes. I tried to search for DALTON, since I know that is in the XML data that was exported.

I also tried the ASP page in Microsoft Expression Web since that software can open ASP pages by firing up its internal ASP Development server.

Has anybody tried to "Generate ASP" from BAQ and have it successfully work? Or anybody got any idea why it not working?

Thanks!

Randy
I did this a while back, unfortunately I can't find any docs/notes on it. As
best I recall:

I believe it needs to be running on IIS on your Vantage server. You also
need to install the webservices for the tables you intend to access.

Randy,

I missed this on Sunday....

I use ASP all the time on my SQL server and in the past on Progress
servers with Vantage. I'm not sure why you would even want to do what
you (and the training guide) are describing.

I use an intuitive and inexpensive ASP development tool called ASPRunner
Pro; It's the "Crystal Reports" of ASP.

I directly hit the Vantage tables via ODBC. If you are SQL then you can
take it a step further and create SQL server based Views (I "hear" you
can do this with Progress, but I haven't a clue).

I have no clue on the thought path on why someone would want to create a
BAQ to use with ASP and go through all that extra hassle.

Your ASP site must sit on a server with IIS installed. I just happen to
use my Vantage server for this. Enable Active Server Pages in IIS, set
the proper permissions and you're set.

With ASPRunner Pro you can create your queries in a GUI much like
Crystal Reports. It's easier than then BAQ's clunky interface and
provides more flexibility, IMHO.



Vic

I was reading the BAQ chapter out of the "Epicor Users Tools" book. The
last couple pages of the BAQ chapter talks about "Generate ASP" by
following instruction in the book. I was able to create the search page
and export with data from the Training Database.

When I execute the ASP page, I get the search page just like you see in
the book. I get some type of ASP code inside each one of the two search
boxes. I tried to search for DALTON, since I know that is in the XML
data that was exported.

I also tried the ASP page in Microsoft Expression Web since that
software can open ASP pages by firing up its internal ASP Development
server.

Has anybody tried to "Generate ASP" from BAQ and have it successfully
work? Or anybody got any idea why it not working?

Thanks!

Unfortuanetly we don't use SQL. I looked at ASPRunner on their website, look like a handy tools for SQL users. Did you say you used ASPRunner in the past on a progress database?

Yes, absolutely. I have set up many Progress folks before with ASP
intranets.

You use the Progress ODBC drivers and build the queries within
ASPRunner.

Unfortuanetly we don't use SQL. I looked at ASPRunner on their website,
look like a handy tools for SQL users. Did you say you used ASPRunner in
the past on a progress database?
