| Tier Aware Reporting | The Things that Make Up this Example |
Local Execution (No Remote Tiers)
To use this example with no remote tiers (ie: as a standalone application):- Execute the Tier Configurator VL_SAM134 and make sure that you have this tier configuration:
| System | Valid Connection Details Are Required | APPL Tier | DATA Tier | PRINT Tier | BATCH Tier |
| Default Client | No | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself |
| Default iSeries | No | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself |
- Close the Tier Configurator VL_SAM134.
- Now execute form VL_SAM139 and try printing the report immediately and via the queue.
- In this configuration all reporting activities are performed on your local system.
To use this example with a remote DATA tier (ie: as a thick report application)
- Execute the Tier Configurator VL_SAM134 and make sure that you have this tier configuration:
| System | Valid Connection Details Are Required | APPL Tier | DATA Tier | PRINT Tier | BATCH Tier |
| Default Client | No | System Itself | Default iSeries | System Itself | System Itself |
| Default iSeries | Yes | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself |
- Close the Tier Configurator VL_SAM134.
- Now execute form VL_SAM139 and try printing the report immediately and via the queue.
- In this configuration all reporting activities (immediate or queued) are being performed on your local system, but DBMS details are being read from the remote DATA tier.
To use this example with a remote PRINT and a remote DATA tier (ie: as a thin reporting application)
- Execute the Tier Configurator VL_SAM134 and make sure that you have this tier configuration:
| System | Valid Connection Details Are Required | APPL Tier | DATA Tier | PRINT Tier | BATCH Tier |
| Default Client | No | System Itself | Default iSeries | Default iSeries | System Itself |
| Default iSeries | Yes | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself | System Itself |
- Close the Tier Configurator VL_SAM134.
- Now execute form VL_SAM139 and try printing the report immediately and via the queue.
- In this configuration all reporting activities are performed on the PRINT tier. In immediate mode VL_SAM139 actually calls VSAM138 on the PRINT tier and then waits until it finishes producing the report. In queued mode it submits VSAM138 onto the PRINT tier for later execution.
