Synertech’s Tidal Reporting product

  • Out of the box approx. 60 queries that provide additional analysis on Tidal data not provided by the Tidal application. The queries range from audit reports to monitoring reports, dependency charts and historical analysis.
  • Additional retention of Tidal data outside of the Tidal defined retention period. The data can be kept as long as is required separate from the live Tidal system thereby reducing the need to maintain historical data for a long period in Tidal, which will improve Tidal performance.
  • Queries against the TIDAL REPORTING application can be scheduled using Tidal scheduling or on demand by a user
  • Query output can be in the format of a .CSV (or Excel) file, PDF format
  • User can control output from queries, sorting and selection criteria
  • Business views based on current scheduled jobs will can automatically be generated
  • Completely configurable as to what functions are available to users of the system
  • Frequency of updated data from TIDAL can be configured, from almost instantaneous to hourly, or daily
  • User can add additional queries to system, they will be handled similar to OOTB queries
  • LDAP integration (optional)
  • New queries can be requested and will become available to all users that have a maintenance agreement
  • Windows and Linux OS are both supported, for database Oracle and SQL Server are both fully supported, if TIDAL supports the platform the reporting application will also support it. New releases of Tidal will also be supported soon after a new Tidal release is available.
