IBM Americas - Canada
IBM Asia Pacific
IBM Europe, Middle East and Africa
QMF for Windows for iSeries, V7.2, is a multipurpose enterprise query environment for large-scale business reporting, data sharing, server resource protection, powerful application development, and native connectivity to DB2 iSeries databases.
QMF for Windows provides an intuitive "quick start" interface to build queries and business reports and share them with other QMF users.
Java-based query allows users to create queries or execute predefined queries. A point-and-click, drag-and-drop interface to QMF form creation makes it easy to aggregate, group, and format directly in the query results.
QMF for Windows can also be used as the high-performance data manipulation engine behind most important commercial or custom Windows applications such as spreadsheets, desktop databases, and executive information systems.
Key QMF for Windows for iSeries, V7.2, enhancements include:
QMF for Windows powerful API allows developers to rapidly build data access, update applications, and fully exploit DB2 performance, SQL syntax, and advanced database performance techniques such as static SQL, uncommitted read, and DB2 stored procedures.
Server-based pricing, unlimited users per server, and centralized install make this a top choice in Business Intelligence tools.
Planned Availability Date: March 29, 2002

Customers currently using iSeries query tools interested in desktop query capability and integration with many desktop tools, such as spreadsheets and personal databases, will be interested in QMF for Windows. Free migration tools are available from IBM Business Partner Rocket Software, Inc. See the Planning Information section.
US, CAN--->
The following products and/or services could be purchased to complement this product.
For customers with a mixed platform environment, QMF for Windows is available as a feature of DB2 UDB for OS/390 and as a feature of DB2 UDB for VSE and VM, which allows access to DB2 on any platform from Windows or the Web.
QMF for Windows for DB2 Workstation Databases is also available as a one-time charge product that allows access to DB2 workstation databases, including Linux on S/390 platforms.
The following capabilities and benefits are available with either of the above additional licensing options:
DB2 IM Scoring enables QMF for Windows users to improve the quality and timeliness of business intelligence available to analysts. Using the new QMF for Windows V7.2 Expression Builder, users can easily invoke IM Scoring to apply the latest mining analytics in real time.
Behind the scene, mining is used to analyze high volumes of data to discover the latest business trends or patterns. The results are represented in a model -- think of the model as a set of rules or a formula for predicting the most likely outcome based on past history. The new V7.2 Expression Builder helps QMF users build the SQL expression to invoke DB2 IM Scoring which, in turn, applies these rules to new business situations. For example, to apply the most appropriate marketing tactics for a new customer situation; to identify cross selling opportunities for preferred customers; to perform risk assessment "on the fly"; to predict propensity to buy, probability of abuse, likelihood of customer attrition. The result is improved decision making.
QMF for Windows now offers data visualization and business analysis capabilities with direct support for spatially-enabled DB2 data.
Organizations can spatially enable existing data with the IBM DB2 Spatial Extender, a feature of DB2 Extended Edition and DB2 Extended Enterprise Edition. Spatial data can then be accessed along with normal business data using ordinary and familiar SQL query techniques, and immediately begin viewing this data geographically and dimensionally. For example, existing customer lists can be visualized in seconds by location, layered with multiple categories of topographical features including roads, natural formations, or political boundaries, analyzed for key characteristics such as proximity, and these visualizations saved for later reuse or published to an intranet. Transparent support for spatial data in QMF for Windows represents a powerful competitive and productivity advantage for organizations everywhere.
The following product would provide a higher value purchase.

QMF for Windows is a powerful multipurpose query, reporting, and application-building tool that lays a data access foundation for the entire enterprise. Novices and experts alike can find themselves instantly productive when accessing DB2, choosing from a wide range of capabilities including:
Built for DB2, and easily integrated with desktop "suite" tools such as spreadsheets, QMF for Windows allows administrators to safely extend data access to Windows and the Web, conserve database processing resources, and deploy a true companion tool to DB2 throughout the enterprise.
The target market includes small, medium, and large businesses, but especially those that can benefit from the QMF for Windows server-based pricing and powerful architecture that affordably opens up data access to many types of users.
What is it worth to have reliable data access throughout your enterprise? Instant answers to mission-critical questions -- from Windows desktops or browsers around the world, including when connecting over the Internet -- is fundamental to all your business operations. In addition, native support for DB2 architecture helps keep costs down and uptime high.
There are many wrong ways to enable data access that bring reliability issues, database resource waste, out-of-control queries, administrative headaches, complex and expensive database gateways and middleware, and proprietary approaches that lock you into a single interface, product, location, or a certain number of user "seats" that make it difficult to grow.
As a native Windows DRDA requester, QMF for Windows is a unique application. It is architecturally coupled to DB2 across platforms and supports advanced DB2 functionality (including DB2-specific SQL, creating and running static SQL, and running stored procedures) even as it integrates data seamlessly with your existing Windows applications.
Scalability is not an issue with QMF for Windows. On the server side, any licensed DB2 workstation database can be the data source. On the client side, QMF for Windows is capable of data fetching on a scale limited only by the resources of the client machine, handling millions of rows of data, if needed.
All other offerings in the Windows desktop space are based on PC database architecture requiring open database connectivity (ODBC) drivers and result in the limitations imposed by that middleware standard, including setup and version maintenance.
Applications such as Microsoft Access,
Microsoft Excel, and Lotus 1-2-3 are sometimes viewed as Windows
desktop query tools. However, these tools are not commonly seen
in the field connected directly to enterprise databases, as is
the norm for QMF for Windows. Compatibility problems associated
with large databases accessed by other PC applications
discourage their use.

EuroReady Products
IBM considers an IBM product to be EuroReady if the product, when used in accordance with its associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing monetary data in the euro denomination and of respecting the euro currency formatting conventions (including the euro sign). This assumes that all other products (for example, hardware, software, and firmware) that are used with this product are also EuroReady. IBM hardware products that are EuroReady may or may not have an engraved euro sign key on their keyboards.
Currently, EuroReady status applies primarily to IBM products specific to the EMU countries. Products that are not specific to these countries are deemed to be "not ready" for euro unless otherwise stated in the product's country-specific specifications.
IBM Hardware Ready
IBM supplies certain IBM products which include third-party software (pre-loaded or not) and / or third-party attached hardware. In these instances, IBM is not in a position to assert that these third-party products are, in themselves, EuroReady.
Therefore, such IBM products will be designated as Hardware ready.

Browser-based Querying and Charting:
Users may now perform more operations in their QMF objects using a Web browser, including creating and sharing queries and formatting results. A Java-based charting component is also available on demand when using QMF for Windows browser-based querying.
Users may now create, save, and run QMF prompted queries with their browsers, and use QMF forms to format query results with either a default or a previously saved QMF form.
QMF queries created in the Windows interface of QMF for Windows and formatted with summaries, roll-ups, colors and other features may now be run using the QMF for Windows browser interface with all formatting intact.
Administrators may now also govern and track queries run by QMF for Windows browser-based users, using the same administrative interface presently used to track Windows-based and OS/390 based QMF users.
Connectivity:
In addition to existing support for multiple DB2 database platforms through DRDA and CLI connectivity, QMF for Windows users can now use their QMF objects to read data from ODBC-compliant data sources. This makes simultaneously available, through a single, powerful interface, the DB2 databases that serve the entire enterprise as well as departmental servers in mixed environments such as Informix and Microsoft SQL Server. In addition, ODBC-compliant PC applications, such as desktop databases and spreadsheets become available as query data sources.
This new capability adds considerable breadth to the portability and compatibility of QMF objects across hardware, network, operating system, and database platforms, and dramatically expands end-user options for business intelligence gathering.
Ease-of-use and Interface Enhancements:
Multiple interface enhancements bring even greater productivity to QMF for Windows users:
In addition to governing and tracking of browser-based users, the QMF for Windows Administrator has the following new capabilities:

Workstation hardware requirements are those needed to run the Windows software as described in the Software Requirements section.
QMF for Windows for iSeries, V7.2, requires approximately 35 MB of free disk space on each Windows workstation, and about the same memory as needed by a typical Windows suite application.
This section describes the minimum software requirements for QMF for Windows.
QMF for Windows runs on 32-bit platforms as follows:
QMF for Windows can connect to DB2 via a direct connection over TCP/IP or SNA LU 6.2 or via the Call Level Interface (CLI) provided by the DB2 UDB Runtime Client. The following DB2 servers are supported:
Product Version ------------------- ---------- DB2 for AS/400 V4.3, V4.4 DB2 for iSeries V5.1
In addition, QMF for Windows can connect to DB2 for iSeries via ODBC.
QMF for Windows requires at least one of the following on each user machine:
Use of QMF for Windows with natural language queries requires English Wizard 3.1 or EasyAsk 6.0 from IBM Business Partner Linguistic Technologies.
Use of spreadsheet application add-ins with QMF for Windows requires one or both of:
Use of charting in spreadsheet applications with QMF for Windows requires one or both of:
QMF Query for Java requires IBM Websphere Application Server 3.02 or 3.5, running on one of the following platforms:
In addition, a JDBC driver must be installed and configured on the application server, enabling connections to any of the database server products supported by QMF for Windows.
All factors relevant to performance are described in the Installing and Managing QMF for Windows publication which ships with the product.
Rocket Software developed the Query Manager/400 Migration Tool to allow businesses that have accumulated libraries of query objects (queries and forms) in Query Manager for AS/400 to immediately convert and use those objects in the QMF for Windows query environment.
This tool quickly creates copies of existing Query Manager/400 objects and saves them as QMF for Windows objects. The new objects can be used immediately in QMF for Windows while the Query Manager/400 objects remain intact.
To obtain a copy of the Query Manager/400 Migration Tool, access the following Web site: http://www.rocketsoftware.com/qmf

QMF for Windows for iSeries, V7.2, is a multipurpose enterprise query environment for large-scale business reporting, data sharing, server resource protection, powerful application development, and native connectivity to DB2 iSeries databases.
QMF for Windows provides an intuitive "quick start" interface to build queries and business reports and share them with other QMF users.
Java-based query allows users to create queries or execute predefined queries. A point-and-click, drag-and-drop interface to QMF form creation makes it easy to aggregate, group, and format directly in the query results.
QMF for Windows can also be used as the high-performance data manipulation engine behind most important commercial or custom Windows applications such as spreadsheets, desktop databases, and executive information systems.
Key QMF for Windows for iSeries, V7.2, enhancements include:
QMF for Windows powerful API allows developers to rapidly build data access, update applications, and fully exploit DB2 performance, SQL syntax, and advanced database performance techniques such as static SQL, uncommitted read, and DB2 stored procedures.
Server-based pricing, unlimited users per server, and centralized install make this a top choice in Business Intelligence tools.
QMF for Windows V7.2 offers:
Browser-based Querying and Charting:
Users may now perform more operations in their QMF objects using a Web browser, including creating and sharing queries and formatting results. A Java-based charting component is also available on demand when using QMF for Windows browser-based querying.
Users may now create, save, and run QMF prompted queries with their browsers, and use QMF forms to format query results with either a default or a previously saved QMF form.
QMF queries created in the Windows interface of QMF for Windows and formatted with summaries, roll-ups, colors and other features may now be run using the QMF for Windows browser interface with all formatting intact.
Administrators may now also govern and track queries run by QMF for Windows browser-based users, using the same administrative interface presently used to track Windows-based and OS/390 based QMF users.
Connectivity:
In addition to existing support for multiple DB2 database platforms through DRDA and CLI connectivity, QMF for Windows users can now use their QMF objects to read data from ODBC-compliant data sources. This makes simultaneously available, through a single, powerful interface, the DB2 databases that serve the entire enterprise as well as departmental servers in mixed environments such as Informix and Microsoft SQL Server. In addition, ODBC-compliant PC applications, such as desktop databases and spreadsheets become available as query data sources.
This new capability adds considerable breadth to the portability and compatibility of QMF objects across hardware, network, operating system, and database platforms, and dramatically expands end-user options for business intelligence gathering.
Ease-of-use and Interface Enhancements:
Multiple interface enhancements bring even greater productivity to QMF for Windows users:
In addition to governing and tracking of browser-based users, the QMF for Windows Administrator has the following new capabilities:

EuroReady Products
IBM considers an IBM product to be EuroReady if the product, when used in accordance with its associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing monetary data in the euro denomination and of respecting the euro currency formatting conventions (including the euro sign). This assumes that all other products (for example, hardware, software, and firmware) that are used with this product are also EuroReady. IBM hardware products that are EuroReady may or may not have an engraved euro sign key on their keyboards.
Currently, EuroReady status applies primarily to IBM products specific to the EMU countries. Products that are not specific to these countries are deemed to be "not ready" for euro unless otherwise stated in the product's country-specific specifications.
IBM Hardware Ready
IBM supplies certain IBM products which include third-party software (pre-loaded or not) and / or third-party attached hardware. In these instances, IBM is not in a position to assert that these third-party products are, in themselves, EuroReady.
Therefore, such IBM products will be designated as Hardware ready.
EuroReady Solutions
IBM considers a solution to be EuroReady when the solution providers have:
QMF for Windows is also offered as a separately orderable product, licensed to access DB2 UDB workstation databases (such as DB2 for NT, DB2 for AIX, and so on) as well as a S/390 license to access any DB2.
