Hi,

The main difference between Reporting tool and OLAP is

Reporting Tool: you can genarate only reports, then you can do only min, level analysis,

OLAP: you genarate reports, which will be in multi dimensnol, analysis

Cheers,

I guess with Cognos Report Net report bursting is possible ie splitting one report and sending to multiple people, Which I suppose is not possible in other tools.
And the architecture of Reportnet is diff from the rest.

OLAP reporting (online analytical process) in this reporting can do simple anyalsis of the data in report like graphical and physical processing of  the company.

Reporting tools: In this we can only see the reports  we cannot modify them.
