Argos - Moving into the Community Presented by: Bruce Knox University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, Cooperative Extension Service BAS S274 October 13, 2008
Introduction: Purpose and Benefits of this Presentation Purpose: • Discuss the Argos User Community • Converting from MS Access to Argos Benefits: • Free Software • Conversion Tips • Tools for Ad Hoc Banner Reporting
Our Agenda • What’s an Argos? • Trying the Product • The Argos Community • Converting from MS Access • Banner Record Selection Criteria
What’s an Argos? • Argos is a Web Based • Evisions • Ad Hoc Reporting Tool • Designed for Banner
A.R.G.O.S. Ad hoc Report Generation and Output Solution • Secure • Easy to Use • Fast
What’s an Argos • MS Access++ Built for the SQL Database
Get a password Trying the Product: Get a Password
Trying the Product: DBA and SysAdmin • You will need IT for early parts of the Server Install
the Argos Sample Datablocks for SCT Banner Trying the Product: Download and install
Community is a big part of Argos Sharing in Argos’ secured repository is encouraged. The Argos Community
Converting from MS Access • We have been using MS Access with Banner for 8 years • How to move from our existing MS Access?
Converting from MS Access • Build Datablocks via the Query Design GUI?
Converting from MS Access • Enter the Oracle Code?
Converting from MS Access • Either way will work for you, but • you still need to know the Banner Record Selection Criteria
Determining which Banner Tables are actually used A Handy Find Query Banner Record Selection Criteria
Banner Record Selection Criteria • Determining which Banner Tables are Actually Used • A Handy Find Query
Banner Record Selection Criteria: Tables Actually Used • Collect the ones that look like Banner Tables into a file • argos_tables.txt
Banner Record Selection Criteria: Tables Actually Used • argos_tables.txt • containing: @table_to_argos FABBKTP @table_to_argos FABCHKA @table_to_argos FABCHKS @table_to_argos FABINCK @table_to_argos FABINVH @table_to_argos FARDIRD @table_to_argos FARINTX … @table_to_argos TURVERS
Banner Record Selection Criteria: Tables Actually Used • Then in SQL*Plus: 10:32:39 BKNOX: PROD> START argostables.txt • This runs table_to_argos.sql for each Table in the file. • The script concatenates each result into a single text file containing the Table information required for constructing Queries or determining Record Selection Criteria.

Banner Record Selection Criteria: Reports • You will need a sample of the Report
Banner Record Selection Criteria: Reports to Queries • Double-Click the Report Selector • The Dark Square within the Gray Square left of the Ruler Line. • Alternately, Right-Click and Select Properties, then • Select Data.
Banner Record Selection Criteria: Reports to Queries • Record Source is the MS Access Query behind the Report • Double-Click on the Ellipsis button and you have the Query
