Performance in the Server with the created report - Crystal Report 2008

Hi
      We have developed a complex report and deployed in the server. It takes more time to process and once if the report created and we are trying to expand a group/navigate different pages, the same time delay is happeneing. Sometimes it takes more than a minute which really kills the performance. My client has accepted the delay while the report is being genrated but  they raise question like why it takes too much time just to display the created report.
  I tried keeping the created report in Session and rebind on page_load as well stored a copy on the server and rebind whenver postback happens. Both methods working simliar and no improvement the in the performance. Is there any way to kill the time delay in this.( we have an idea like , if we store the created report  at client machine and whenever postback happens just bind from client machine instead to hit the server back, Is this achievable)
Any Help would helpful to me
Thanks

Hi
What version of CR are you using?
     Crystal report 2008, I think its in subject of this thread itself. (Version 12.0.0.683)
What if any CR SP have you applied?
    No
What version of .NET are you using?
  .Net 3.5 using C# technology (.Net framework 3.5)
What database are you using?
    SQL Server2008
What connection type are you using?
   We have created a Stored Procedure and connected the SP to the crystal report.
What are you comparing the performance to? E.g.; is it faster somewhere else? How much faster?
    No, we didnt compare anywhere. but my question is to avoid the delay in navigation of pages or selecting an item in the group tree. The report contains 100+ pages and client is accepting delay while creating the report but not during navigation or selection( why do the already created report takes more time(even in minutes) to render on navigation or selection and how to avoid the delay))
Define "complex report ".
Nothing complexity in the report even we have used oly less formulas(less than 5) but chats are included and used for each group( we have 6 groups in the report)
Thanks

    Hi Portal Experts,
    we are planning to install Netweaver 04s sp stack 9 full java edition with Oracle 8i on windows platform.
    we have the installation docs of portal but we didn't have any idea about how to configure Portal server with the Backend Oracle database at the time of installation or after ost installation of portal.can anyone provide the documentation about this or guide me how to achieve this.
    PLZ share ur views---your help would be highly appreciable.

    HI
    if you r working in Sap enterprise portal use for connection url
    jdbc:sap:sqlserver://ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433;DatabaseName=Northwind
    ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433 this is your portal url with port number
    Northwind is your database name.
    for dirver you need to give
    com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    in case if you r working on other than sap say windows along with oracle try to use
    Connection URL as jdbc:oracle:<drivertype>:@<database>
    Driver name as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    ex jdbc:oracle:thick:@localhost:3036:mydb
    Oracle implements two types of JDBC drivers:
    Thick JDBC drivers built on top of the C-based Net8 client, as well as a Thin (Pure Java) JDBC driver to support downloadable applets. Oracle JDBC drivers are used to create JDBC applications to communicate with Oracle databases.

  • A server with the same hostname could not be found!

    Hi macusers,
    I saw that error on multiple threads but I found none related to my issue. So, before ignore it let's describe it:
    Two MAC Mini: one early 2009 and second late 2010. Both OS 10.9.1, MacKeeper installed, 6+Gb for RAM. Both uses the same router to connect the internet. Both are LAN connected not WiFi. I even changed the DNS addresses on router using Google DNS.
    On Mac 2009:
    1. Safari opens pages randomly. Sometimes a website is not open but when I create a new tab and select the website from bookmarks the website is opened while in previous tab still says: Safari cannot find the server .... All those websites are used in my daily work. I am not reseting Safari unless necesary.
    2. MAIL is showing online only Gmail acccount from 4 accounts. The rest of the accounts are not Gmail and appear as Offline. I restart MAIL and they appear online. I have to do that Open/Close MAIL several times a day.
    3. Sharefile and oDesk Team application cannot be opened because of that error: A server with the same hostname could not be found!
    4. Apple Store is displaying questions marks instead of the icons and I can barely see what softwares I have installed.
    Now the beauty. Only on MAC 2009 I am experiencing those issues. The other MAC is fine. So far.
    What I tried so far:
    A. Reboot in SafeMode and Repair Permissions, Repair Disk. Everything OK.
    B. PRAM Reset and SMC Reset.
    C. Scan for viruses. No virus detected.
    oDesk Team app is working fine on the other MAC and I managed to install it on Mac 2009 on Windows 7 partition as well. Is working fine.
    Here are some screenshots showing you some of the errors I am picking on my side.
    That one is taken while trying to connect to ShareFile. After three or four attempts it finally managed to connect.
    That was a beauty. While MacKeeper was showing me that I am Offline, I was talking on Skype with a friend.
    Still cannot access oDesk Team application. However, after several attempts it is logging but what is showing me is a real nightmare.
    If I choose to see my contracts (though in the upper corner there is not my account) they do appear:
    Any valuable entry will be highly appreciate it.
    Warm regards,
    Sebastian
    P.S. I just remembered that I saw on a post in here related to the same error that someone from Apple asked a guy to make a test in terminal using a command line. I do it on my MAC and here is the result:

    Hi Grant,
    Here is what I did and so far seems it is wworking.
    1. I deleted oDesk and ShareFile. I removed them using MacKeeper (I found this application very usefull for uninstalling applications as MacKeeper looks for them all over the computer: cache, preferences, application support etc.) While for oDesk is simple as I can look myself for oDesk in any file names, whith ShareFile was a little tricky to amke it amnually as MacKeeper find files that contain Citrix name then ShareFile. I will not guess unless I would search the internet on how to manually remove sharefile from my system.
    2. I manually delete all cahe files and folders from ~Library and ~User/Library.
    3. After reboot I installed Onyx and order maintanance where I checked all its options, including but not limited to DNS caches, fonts caches, everything.
    4. After I reboot computer, I went in Disk Utility and Repaired permissions.
    Reboot again. Now seems to work fine. At least odesk Team is working properly. I will have a second thought for installing ShareFile.
    Some romanian mac users suggested to check my router connectivity and change some DNS in it. Looks like that was also a problem on some MACs. I recall the few weeks ago I had an issue with TP Link router. My computer wasn't connected to internet, though router showed that there is internet connection. I ping router from my computer and I received answer from ping. I ping google from computer, nothing. I ping google from router, was wroking. I connected the computer directly to internet without router, was wroking. When connected back through router, nothing. I contacted the guys from TP Link and they suggested to use google DNS instead of those my ISP provided. But since then I had not experienced any issue with router and internet, until now. The DNS are still those from google.
    I will keep you updated if any issues are appear again. So far, it is working perfectly as it supposed to work.
    Warm regards,
    Sebastian

  • Unable to create the type with the name 'MSORA'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)

    I am attempting to use the Integration Services Import Project Wizard within Microsoft Visual Studio and am getting this error
    Unable to create the type with the name 'MSORA'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)
    upon Import.
    Can anyone shed some light for me on this cryptique error message?
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    If you have the SSIS and SSDT (BIDS) installed then
    I believe the DTS assemblies got derigistered, a typical outcome of corrupted software, so a full re-install would be the best option. VS +SQL Server  + more
    Otherwise, as a quick fix try to
    reference the SSIS assemblies, like Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS.dll + more.
    They are by default in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<number>\SDK\Assemblies.

  • Unable to create the type with the name 'ODATA'

    On a test server with VS 2012 and SQL 2012 installed, I have created an SSIS project in project deployment mode. In the packages of the project I use the Odata source for SSIS. The packages run fine in VS 2012. But when I deploy the package to the Integration
    Services catalog on the same server as where I am running VS 2012 I get a deployment error:
    ‘Failed to deploy project. For more information, query the operation_messages view for the operation identifier '25084'.  (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 27203)'
    When I read this message from the SSISDB database, I see the problem with ODATA.
    use SSISDB
    go
    select * from catalog.operation_messages where operation_id = 25084
    --Failed to deploy the project. Fix the problems and try again later.:Unable to create the type with the name 'ODATA'.
    As I said: the packages with the Odata run without error when tested from within VS2012 on the SAME server. When I deploy the project from Visual Studio I get the error. 
    For completeness: I have also tried deployment from VS2012 to another server where the SSIS Odata source has bene deployed. Also to no avail.
    Jan D'Hondt - SQL server BI development

    The next possiblity for me was to convert the project to Package deployment and see what the result I get. I have converted my project with package connections from project deployment to Package deployment. Then I deployed the package on the server in MSDB
    catalog from SSIS. I.e. I connect with SSMS to Integration Services as an administrator and under the MSDB folder I added a new folder for my package. I then imported the dtsx into the mdsb package store. The Import worked. Still from within SSMS and connected
    to the Integration Services, i right-clicked on the package in the MSDB store and selected 'Run package'. In the Execute Package dialog window, I clicked on 'Execute' and the package actually ran. The Odata connector was opened, it read the data and imported
    into my database.
    This experience made me realize what the real culprit  was: The OData connector is a 32-bit connector in SQL Server 2012. 
    To prove this: with SSMS I connected to the SQL database server and in the Integration services catalog, i right-clicked on the package that was deployed in Project deployment mode, then selected 'Execute...'. In the execute dialog windo in the 'Advanced'
    tab I checked 32-bit runtime. And the package ran.
    To wrap it all up:
    The Project deployment will work, but not with the Odata source as project connection. The Odata connection must be defined in each package as a package connection.
    Run the deployed packages in 32-bit mode on the server

  • I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer

    I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
    How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?
    Warning: I do not need to export all layers as files.
    Who can help me?
    THX in advance

    Versione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
    NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
    Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
    Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
    - Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
    - Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
    - Nuova azione
    - Dare il nome e premere Registra
    Ora salva…
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
    - Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
    - Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
    - Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
    - Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
    - Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
    - Fermare la registrazione.
    A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
    Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
    ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
    - Duplicare il file,
    - Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
    - Lavorare sul file duplicato.
    mi riferisco a questo...
    ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
    ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
    Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
    Procedere così:
    - Chiudere Photoshop
    - Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
    - cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
    fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
    - sostituirla con:
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += layerName;
    - cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
    - sostituirla con:
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "";
    - salvare e uscire.
    - riavviare Photoshop
    - provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
    Domanda:
    Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
    Risposta:
    Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
    Semplice... no?
    English version
    Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
    First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
    I explain step by step what I did:
    - I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
    - I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
    - New action
    - Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
    Now save ...
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
    - Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
    - Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
    - Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
    - Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
    - Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
    - Stop recording.
    At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
    To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
    WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
    - Duplicate the file
    - Move the original folder to another
    - Work on the duplicate file.
    WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
    WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
    However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
    Proceed as follows:
    - Close Photoshop
    - Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
    - Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
    fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
    - Replace it with :
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = layerName ;
    - Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
    - Replace it with :
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = "";
    - Save and exit.
    - Restart Photoshop
    - Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
    Question:
    Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
    Answer:
    Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
    Simple ... is not it?
    Sorry for my bad English...
    Thanks in advance for any hint.
