SQL-RD is an application for Windows that saves time and money by making it easy to define single or packages of Microsoft® SQL RS reports, schedule and run them automatically, and send the reports to print, fax, disk, ftp, sms or email in a number of standard formats.
Simply set up a schedule stating how often you would like each report to run, whether you'd like the output in Word, Excel, HTML, RTF, Acrobat, RPT, text format, and more and who it should be sent to.
It's easy to schedule reports to run at a specific date and time, or to run them hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly or set up your own custom frequencies e.g. 4-4-3, every other day, third Monday of the month, and so on. And the same report can be scheduled to be run multiple times with different parameters, formats, frequencies, and destinations.
Respond to your business needs by setting schedules to run based on events rather than date. With SQL-RD's Event Based Schedules, reports are fired off when events occur e.g. database value is present, file is modified, window is present, an email is received, etc..
Use SQL-RD's unique Dynamic Schedule process to trawl through your database to find the parameter values to use and then generate and deliver a unique report for each value. Or bring enhanced Data-Driven functionality to your report distribution infrastructure.
Once your schedule has been executed, why stop there? Use SQL-RD's unique Custom Actions to run another program, enter values in a database, modify a file and lots more. Or use Automation Schedules for general business process automation without scheduling any reports at all.
SQL-RD's familiar Explorer-like interface makes it easy to define and schedule report packages. The context (right-click) menus and full copy-and-paste support make it easy to create complex distribution schedules.
The scheduling service runs as a desktop application, or as an Windows service. It will integrate with Exchange Server 5 (SP4) and above (2000 and 2003) or SMTP. Worried about Outlook security prompts? SQL-RD deals with these expertly - ensuring complete uninterrupted automation.
By automating repetitive reporting tasks, SQL-RD ensures that reports are created and distributed when needed, without error, and without costly support time.
Whether you're spending too much time running and distributing Reporting Services output to line managers, or you need to provide corporate management with tailored reports on a regular schedule, SQL-RD gives you the tools that you need.
