We are nearing the end of a transition from IBM's BigFix product to LDMS (currently 2016.3). BigFix has a tool they call an Excel Connector. Here is their verbiage:
IBM BigFix operators often find that it is useful to extract the wealth of data on the BigFix Server for analysis and reporting. They either process the data themselves, or will often send the information to other consumers in an Excel format.
The IBM BigFix Excel Connector is created to simplify the data extraction process. It has a Wizard-like interface that makes it easier to extract data from the BigFix Server without the need to write Session Relevance language. In addition, the Connector has a built-in session relevance editor to query Web Reports. See a full standalone version of the session relevance editor here.
Is there anything like this for LDMS, that would allow us to use Excel to connect to the LDMS database and make queries to it?
