OZ REPORT is a product Report created by FORCS that adapts its earlier technologies for solution business intelligence  Forcs. It was introduced in 2000 and is commonly used in its Windows operating system. In principle it is not dependent on Microsoft Windows, but in practice, most OZReport controls require either Microsoft Windows or a Windows emulator. Most also require the client to be running on Intel x86 hardware, because they contain compiled code.

Many Microsoft Windows applications — including many of those from Microsoft itself, such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio, Windows Media Player — use OZReport to build their reports and also encapsulate their own functionality as OZReport controls which can then be embedded into other applications. Internet Explorer also allows the embedding of OZReport controls in web pages. Nowadays OZ REPORT is usded widely in ERP, CRM,Billing System,E-Learning, Banking System ....

OZReport work on all platforms Cross-platform, so using OZReport for many Smart Phone, Tablet or others PDA...

History
Faced with the complexity of Report and Foundation of Report run on Mobile, Tablet and MFC, a Tech organization in Korea establish a application called OZReport in 1996. Even after simplification, users still required controls to implement about six core interfaces. In response to this complexity, Microsoft produced wizards, ATL base classes, macros and C++ language extensions to make it simpler to write controls.

Starting with Internet Explorer 3.0 (1996), Microsoft added support to host OZReport controls within HTML content. If the browser encountered a page specifying an OZReport control via an  tag, it would automatically download and install the OZ VIEWER from server and installed on Client Machine. This made the web "richer" but provoked objections (since such controls ran only on Windows) and security risks (especially given the lack of user intervention). Microsoft subsequently introduced security measures to make browsing including OZReport safer.

For example:
 * digital signing of installation packages (Cabinet files and executables)
 * controls must explicitly declare themselves safe for scripting
 * increasingly stringent default security settings
 * Internet Explorer maintains a blacklist of bad controls

Microsoft announced availability of the beta release of the Microsoft® OZReport Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Macintosh.

Shortly for OZReport core technology resides at The Open Group and may be downloaded for free.

Supported data sources
OZ Report can use many databas type JDBC (JAVA) ODBC (ASP) OLEDB, ACCESS,EXCEL DirectShow CSV,Collaboration Data Objects TXT, a technology for scripting OZReport objects HTTP (ASF), renamed Advanced Streaming Format, then to Advanced Systems Format

Features

 * Design, deploy, and manage diversity of professional reports by quick and easy way.
 * Build mobile reporting as well as web reporting for smart business environments.
 * Build ad hoc reporting, non-predefined and runtime intreactive reporting.

Report designer
OZ Reports allows users to graphically design data connection(s) and report layout. In the Database Expert, users can select and link tables from a wide variety of data sources, including Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Oracle databases, Business Objects Enterprise business views, and local file system information. Fields from these tables can be placed on the report design surface, and can also be used in custom formulas, using either BASIC or OZ's own syntax, which are then placed on the design surface. Formulas can be evaluated at several phases during report generation as specified by the developer.
