Preserve Advanced Report Functionality

There is no need to sacrifice the benefits of using Advanced Reports under a conversion to Data Mart.  Active Reports built against the Mart can still be scheduled to be sent to Portal, and can still be developed as a Client Reporting batch.  Report ordering functionality and passing of parameters is the same as when actual OLAP reports underlie the Advanced Report.

If you implement Data Mart to adopt a reporting tool not supported by Advanced Reports, you will forego the benefits of Advanced Reports related to Portal and Client Reporting.
