Arbor Software Corp. announced Essbase Web Gateway, which provides scalable, high-speed, interactive, read and write access to the Essbase OLAP server over the Web. Web Gateway lets you use your Web browser to access essential Essbase features, in cluding drill-down, -up, and -across, multidimensional reporting with ranking, filtering, and sorting, and interactive online update.
Web Gateway lets you deploy OLAP applications via the Web. You can enhance standard Web pages with 50 custom Essbase HTML tags, which control the operation of the Web Gateway. Web Gateway works with standard Web browsers and servers over dial-up connecti ons, Intranets, and the Internet. Web Gateway uses standard HTML 3.0 features such as HTML tables, forms, and cookies to provide comprehensive OLAP functionality without proprietary programming or plug-ins. You can use standard HTML-based Web authoring t ools such as HotMetal Pro and Microsoft Front Page to build Web Gateway applications.
Web Gateway generates HTML form controls along with HTML tables and data. Because JavaScript can interact with form controls, Java and ActiveX can be integrated with Web Gateway applications to deliver highly functional applications. You can leverage Jav aScript, Java applets, and ActiveX to deliver user functionality such as client-side charting, data-entry validation, and interactive online help.
Web Gateway costs $10,000 per server and is available on Windows NT. Arbor is scheduled to begin beta testing a version for Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system at the end of 1996.
