Time for a change

The Classic wwGenericSQLGridDid a great job since early 2000s

But not optimized for later OS and old design

New Grid- Ease in installation,

configuration, usability- Modern design- New Features

Problems with old SQL Grid

- Manual download and installation required- Problems with installation on later OS (Search

through Siebel)- Have to be installed on each machine manually

(pretty sure, but needs to be validated)- Unsupported, No Fixes or Enhancements

Comparison between SqlDataGrid and wwGenericSQLGrid

• Installation

• Configuration

• Functionality

Installation

wwGeneric SQL Grid:- Download- Install from executable- Activate ActiveX from Intouch- Install on each other node (To be validated)

-> Due to this change it is not possible any longer to access data from a Cell directly

-> SQLData Object/Script is required to read data directly

Switching to the new Control

Switching controls make no sense when Access to Cell values are

required

New Application/Environements with several Nodes

(ease of installation & distribution)

Advanced Design

New Functionallity
