Product Overview

Ultraquest Reporter is designed to provide ad hoc reporting capabilities across mainframe and distributed data sources. The architecture includes a web-based front end, an application server for report processing, and data connectors for various data sources like IMS, DB2, Oracle, and SQL Server. The web server communicates with the application server, which in turn uses the data connectors to retrieve data from the respective databases.

The system likely uses TCP/IP for network communication. The main components are the Web Server, Application Server, and Data Connectors. The Web Server hosts the user interface, allowing users to create and manage reports.

The Application Server processes report requests and retrieves data. Data Connectors facilitate communication with various data sources. The system may use a relational database for storing report definitions and metadata.

Ultraquest Reporter typically runs on-premise, requiring a mainframe environment and connectivity to distributed data sources. It can run in an LPAR on z/OS, leveraging standard mainframe subsystems for data access and processing.
