I definitely need help on this one. I have been given a SQL query to gather data from the Master DB on several servers. I then need to report on this date in a single report, with various sorts, calculations, etc.
Any suggestions.

Query the data and then union it together with MORE.

Not sure what your question is? A specific question is more likely to get an answer. Smiler

Server A: I can create procedure A that uses a data adapterA to sql server A, use SQL editor to query the required data, finally create a report for server A

Server B: I can create procedure B that uses a data adapterB to sql server B, use SQL editor to query the required data, finally create a report for server B

Server C: I can create procedure C that uses a data adapterC to sql server C, use SQL editor to query the required data, finally create a report for server C

Server D: I can create procedure D that uses a data adapterD to sql server D, use SQL editor to query the required data, finally create a report for server D

Server E: I can create procedure E that uses a data adapterE to sql server E, use SQL editor to query the required data, finally create a report for server E


Now I have 5 data adapters, 5 separate reports. I need one (1) report not 5 reports.

Is that specific enough. Not sure how else to ask it?

What N.Selph is saying is pull each data source, making sure that the output format is the same as each other one.

Then use TABLE FILE / MORE to merge each source into one hold file.

The MORE feature assumes the data from each server is the same. If the data is different but has common keys or fields just run the report for each one and HOLD the result. Then JOIN or use MATCH FILE to aggregate the data into a single report or a single HOLD file that you can subsequently report from.

Thanks, much more understandable. Since I am relatively new with WebFocus sometimes a little detail goes a long way.
The data is the same from each server so I will go with your suggetions.
Thx again,
