Hi,

Does anyone know of a tool/application to access CMS data through the web. Something like a "webenabled" CentreVu application.

If not we will have to start programming ourselves. I would like to avoid re-inventing the wheel however.

Thnxs,

CentreVu Explorer II gives web browser based access to your CenterVu data.
 
Actually the latest version of Explorer is called "NICE Analyzer". Some of the functions aren't working which they are currently working on, like graphs.... also there is a bug sending the packages of data on the 7 from the CMS Server to the Nice Server. They are working on a fix for mine, but as of now it's sitting in tier 4 escalation. It's looking like a script problem. Data is being dropped and causing an interupt in reporting. Unless you have money to spend and can get through some possible issues (possible none but mine has been a pain in the neck), I would wait.
 
OK Thank you. Did some reading about Explorer II and was not really impressed. It appears it will not offer the functionality we are looking for.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Hi
You can set up a scheduled report in CentreVu supervisor to export a screen save to an HTML file and locate it on you r web server with an auto refresh on your web page. That was the nearest we could think of to get real time graphical reports through web. John

We developed our own intranet application
setup:
export the source data every night from the informix database into a MySQL server with Apache as web frontend
On that server you run perl CGI's to display the pages.
Works like a charm :)
Too big a project to publish here unfortunately, but I can give you some specific hints if interested.

The only thing is that the SQL route would only give you historical info. Our way you are getting real time reporting refreshed every time you update the web page, giving you queueing info etc. The way our company works at the moment, we have to stick stuff together with sticky tape and band aids! They wouldnt stretch to the Hardware/Software mentioned above!
