IBM(R) Query Management Facility (QMF) is a tightly integrated, powerful, and reliable tool that performs query and reporting for IBM's DB2(R) relational database Management System Family. It offers an easy-to-learn, interactive interface. Users with little or no data processing experience can easily retrieve, create, update, insert, or delete data that is stored in DB2.
QMF offers a total solution that includes accessing large amounts of data and sharing central repositories of queries and enterprise reports. It also allows you to implement tightly-controlled, distributed, or client/server solutions. In addition, you can use QMF to publish reports to the Internet that you can view with your favorite web browser.
As companies have taken advantage of the productivity benefits offered through QMF, they have identified the need for performance management tools within the QMF environment. QMF HPO for OS/390(R) and z/OS(TM) is provided to enhance performance management and to facilitate the administration of QMF. This set of integrated performance tools consists of three features: QMF HPO/Manager, QMF HPO/Compiler and QMF for Windows.
With QMF for Windows you can reuse existing QMF host objects (queries, forms and procedures) or create new objects from the Windows environment. You can also integrate query results with a variety of Windows desktop tools, such as spreadsheets and desktop databases.
QMF runs on the OS/390 and z/OS, VM(R), and VSE(TM) platforms. QMF for Windows runs on Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 95, 98, ME, NT, XP, and 2000.
