desktop databases. Launch Java queries and publish reports to the Web. Use
command line parameters or APIs to integrate function.
• Information Catalog: This helps users find, understand, and access the data
available to them so they can quickly make informed decisions using accurate data.
Populate the catalog with popular OLAP, query, and desktop tools.
