ASND Export Facility 2.0 Released
ASND Designs has released the latest version of the ASND Export Facility on OpenNTF. Version 2.0.1 makes exporting on and writing reports against Domino databases easier than ever before. The new release include the following enhancements:
ASND Web Report Framework - Imagine being able to easily create web based reports that allow users to determine the parameters of the report and even the data returned in the report. V2.0 includes 3 real world sample reports that combine AJAX and the ASND reporting engine to deliver reports in HTML, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel formats via the browser.
ASND Name Search - searches all addressbooks on the server for a name or part of a name
ASND Domlog Report - reports on the activity stored within the domlog.nsf and can be limited to a specific database or set of databases. Users can choose which fields to return and how to sort the report.
ASND Sametime Activity Report - reports on either the last time a user logs into Sametime or all of the login failures from the stlog.nsf. Report can be limited to a specific period of dates.
ASNDDocumentCollection Script Library - a portable script library that you can drop into any database for collecting and sorting data from Notes Databases without the need for additional views.
MergeSort Sorting Routine - all sorts will now be done using a MergeSort function. Performance of existing reports should be exponentially better, especially when sorting large data sets multiple times.
Full Text Exports - Regular Exports can now be configured to use either Selection Formulas or a Full Text Search to collect the documents. Both choices can still be done against multiple databases.
Update: 2.0.1 has been released to fix 2 major bugs in the sorting routines and include the image used in the web reports.

I run the export function on my local adress (contacts) database but I could not say that I found the application really 'responsive' meaning it took quiet a time and resources before an export was presented...

Let me see what I can find. I suspect most of the performance lag to be caused by the COM interaction with Excel. Using Jake's Fake Names addressbook, the same export going to a text file ran in about 1/4 of the time that it did when going to Excel. There might be some optimization that I need to take a look at. 2.0.1 will be out shortly cause I found a bug in one of the script libraries that is needs to be fixed.
