| Description |
|
DataQuant for Multiplatforms V2.1.0 (5724-R90) delivers a powerful graphical reporting environment that enables you to quickly and easily develop executive dashboards, information portals, and interactive data visualization solutions. This includes dozens of easy-to-use charts, controls, and graphics that you can drag and drop to quickly create dashboards and reports.
Enhancements include:
- Ad hoc Reports now enables users to drag and drop DataQuant queries onto an open canvas in runtime mode and select from a series of display options (charts or tabular presentations). Users can quickly and easily create their own sophisticated reporting objects, which can help to increase productivity and ease of use for all users, especially those who are new to DataQuant.
- Visual Applications enables concurrent development on dashboards and integrates Ad hoc Report functionality into the dashboard.
- The new Text Analytics feature, available only in DataQuant for Workstation, enables users to extract entities from unstructured data sources (either file-based or database-based) and display the results graphically. This function is capable of recognizing entities such as people, products, places, and organizations as well as the connections between them. It can be configured to recognize enterprise-specific vocabulary and extract key data from contracts, support records, field notes, and comments, giving the user insight into sources beyond typical structured information.
- Scheduled tasks. Users have more options for the scheduled objects beyond the procedure that could be scheduled previously. Queries, quick reports, and visual reports can now be scheduled as well. This new feature delivers the enhanced ability to schedule objects to run based upon user criteria, thus giving the user an autonomic approach to running DataQuant objects. In addition, there are now a wide variety of actions to take with these objects.
- Quick reports enable users to create a new type of grid-based GUI report with grouping, aggregation, charts, titles, fonts, and standard text formatting. With this new reporting facility wizard, users now have a simple, prompted approach to DataQuant report creation.
- Dynamarts enable users to save result sets with the query object. DataQuant dashboards and reports can be partially or fully driven by offline or scheduled data sets. Users can then send a snapshot of the result set and associated report to others so that they can "see it as it was" or refresh it to "see it as it is." With Dynamarts users have greater flexibility to share and access DataQuant dashboards and reports.
- Support for existing DataQuant queries, procedures, forms, visual reports, dashboards, forecasts, drill-down paths, analytical queries, and other objects and infrastructure.

number description
IBM DataQuant for Mulitplatforms 5724-R90 Per Processor
Value Unit (PVU)
Charge metrics definitions
Processor Value Unit (PVU)
Processor Value Unit (PVU) is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. The number of PVU entitlements required is based on the processor technology (defined within the PVU Table by processor value, brand, type, and model number at the following website and the number of processors made available to the program.
IBM continues to define a processor, for the purpose of PVU-based licensing, to be each processor core on a chip. A dual-core processor chip, for example, has two processor cores.
Licensee can deploy the program using either Full Capacity licensing or Virtualization Capacity (Sub-Capacity) licensing according to the Passport Advantage Sub-Capacity Licensing Terms (see webpage below). If using Full Capacity licensing, Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores1 in the physical hardware environment made available to or managed by the program, except for those servers from which the program has been permanently removed. If using Virtualization Capacity licensing, Licensee must obtain entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores made available to or managed by the program, as defined according to the Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules at
- 1
- An Activated processor core is a processor core that is available for use in a physical or virtual server, regardless of whether the capacity of the processor core can be or is limited through virtualization technologies, operating system commands, BIOS settings, or similar restrictions.
Notes :
- Some programs may require licenses for the program and what is being managed. In that case, the following applies: In addition to the entitlements required for the program directly, Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the processor cores managed by the program.
- Some programs may be licensed on a managed basis only. In that case, the following applies: Instead of the entitlements required for the program directly, Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the processor cores managed by the program.
- A few programs on an exception basis may be licensed on a referenced basis. In that case, the following applies: Rather than obtaining entitlements for the activated processor cores available to the program, Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the environment made available to the referenced program as if the program itself were executing everywhere the referenced program was executing, independent of the basis on which the referenced program is licensed.

| Statement of good security practices |
|
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
