    Eric,

    I think you concluded that, we can use the MAPS SQL database directly to get the inventory information. MAPS does not provide any its own dlls or web services to retrieve the data using their methods or web methods. Can u explain the Architecture i.e. back end process of reports generation(how it is connected to databse and export that infromation as reports)?

    Thank you,

    Syam Swetha,

     

    MAPS provides a SQL database for its data storage.  You may use whatever tools or SQL queries you wish to manipulate the data anyway you choice.  Please be advised that custom configurations of the data may result in issues with the reports and proposals created by MAPS

     

    Thanks,

    Eric
