Reporting tools compatible with Genexus


I need to use a reporting tool with genexus for web development. Genexus proposes to use the generation of reports through Procedure-type objects, but these do not have the possibility of generating them through queries similar to what can be done with Crystal Report. As far as I know it has no possibility to integrate with Crystal Report. Do you know any reporting tool that can be easily integrated with Genexus?


Solution

  • speaking of Crystal Report I think you are using .net as a generator. If you had used Java you could have adopted Jasper Report. For .net, on the other hand, at the moment I don't think there is anything "standard". We use different approaches based on the type of report. For some reports we continue to make them with the procedure, others with the query object but for documents, such as contracts that need to be managed dynamically with the possibility of inserting or removing sections but which must also dynamically manage the page change, we have integrated an external DLL (integrated as an external object) and we generate the report in html.
