Report Open take significantly longer in x64 OS vs. x86 OS

When opening a reports using Crystal 2008 .NET on a Win2003 X64 server take significantly longer to run than they do using  
a Win2003R2sp2 x86 server.
To Load a report then ExportToStream on 32 bit Operation system takes 20 seconds to do the same thing on a 64 bit operating system takes over 1 1/2 minutes.
Is there some setting that I may be missing that would cause this to happen.  Has anyone else seen this type of problem

Hi;
What is the version of Crystal Reports you are using, is it the full CR 2008, or the version bundled with .NET?
Have you installed the latest service packs for your version of Crystal Reports?
How did you distribute the runtime for Crystal to the 64 bit os?

  • Why does LabVIEW take significantly longer to display a large amount of Chineese characters? (intentionally misspelled)

    EDIT: I am intentionally misspelling the word for "the language of China" otherwise the forum will censor me, seriously.
    We have a large application based on LabVIEW. In this application, we use flattened strings to pass data between VIs. I recently noticed that some VIs who show their Front Panels when called were taking significantly longer to draw their Front Panels on computers that are localized in Eastern languages (Chineese, Korean, etc.).
    I eventually traced it down to the fact that if you try to display a large amount of characters (anything over 2000 characters) in a string on a Front Panel where the text in LabVIEW is localized to English, the Front Panel is launched and drawn instantly. However, if the string becomes localized in an Eastern language, say Chineese, it can take significantly longer to draw the Front Panel (anywhere from 40 seconds to 2 minutes or more depending on the length of the string) and the CPU is being taxed.
    I've attached a simple VI (LabVIEW 2014) which demonstrates this behavior. It simply generates a random sequence of characters of a predefined length.
    In order to notice the problem, follow these steps:
    Make sure LabVIEW is closed first.
    In Windows, go to Control Panel > Region and Language.
    In the Formats tab, observe which language is currently selected. If it is not set to "English (United States)", then switch to that and click Apply.
    Launch LabVIEW and run the attached VI. You should notice that the string indicator updates almost instantly.
    Completely exit LabVIEW.
    Going back to the Region and Language panel in Windows, change the Format drop-down from "English (United States)" to "Chineese (Simplified, PRC).
    Launch LabVIEW and run the attached VI. You should notice a significant delay it takes for the string indicator to display the text.
    Anybody have any idea why this is happening?
    Thanks!

  • First select takes significantly longer than the succeeding select

    Hi guys,
    We have a program that takes signifacantly longer time than when re-running the program in succeeding ones.
    the same data are filled in the selection screen.
    we run the second run after some seconds then the runtime is very much slower than the first run.
    But after an hour or so, when we run the report again, it becomes slow again.
    Please advice.
    Thanks!

    It's the buffer. After thje first select there is already data in the buffer so it takes less time to access it
    There is nothing you can do to make the first select faster. You can bypass the buffer if you want the next access to be slower, but I wouldn´t recommend that

    Thanks for your response guys. I got it working. It takes only two minutes now.
    I have another question though.
    How do I incorporate some date changes in the report. I have to subtract one day from the 'REQUEST_DATE' if the request date falls on a Saturday, two days if it falls on a Sunday and three days if it falls on a Monday.
    How do I incorporate these changes in the report.

  • IE render takes significantly longer than Firefox and chrome

    Page load times are similar, but while firefox and chrome render "instantly", IE takes quite some time (seconds)
    There are a large number of controls on the page but we have replaced them with text boxes and its still much slower than other browsers and debugging is not helping. We use update panels and dynamic user controls for rendering but need better page analysis
    than the standard IE tools provide.
    Its IE 10/11 and the original post was here:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/e96fcfea-7e59-4f67-ae02-9ac47aaa1527/ie-loads-page-under-2-seconds-then-rendering-takes-10-seconds-or-more-firefox-chrome-render?forum=ieitprocurrentver#e96fcfea-7e59-4f67-ae02-9ac47aaa1527

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    You can use UI responsiveness to help you analyze UI performance problems. Check this:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255009(v=vs.85)
    You also can try to use profiler tool to to get detailed performance measurements of the JavaScript in your webpages.
    Check this:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255005(v=vs.85)
    What result do you get after you used above tools? Maybe you can find something helpful after you used the two tools to analyze your web page performance issue. It would be better if you could provider a sample to test.
    You also can find some third-party tool to analyze web page performance issue on the Internet.

  • [SOLVED] initramfs takes too long to load

    Using systemd-analyze I found out that initramfs takes too long to load:
    463ms (kernel) + 11875ms (initramfs) + 6014ms (userspace) = 18353ms
    My HOOKS array in mkinitcpio.conf is the following:
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems usbinput fsck"
    I suspect that the long loading time of initramfs is caused by partitions decryption (I am using dm-crypt / LUKS on top of LVM).
    Is there any tool that can report loading times of HOOKS seperately, just like systemd-analyze plot does for userspace?

    In what sense is it "too long"?
    I'm just wondering: suppose that you find out that it is because you are using encryption. Would you then switch to a non-encrypted system? Would you make better use of the extra seconds you might save on those rare occasions when you reboot? Even if you reboot twice a day, you might save what? Suppose you would even save 5s per boot. That will give you a whole extra 1 minute and 10 seconds a week. Assuming you don't multitask. Obviously if you multitask, the gain will be less. Would that make it worth risking the security of your data?
    EDIT: I didn't mean this to sound as confrontational as it does now I read it back. It just always puzzles me that people are so concerned about shaving a few milliseconds here and there. I always hope that they put the time they save to good use but then I realise that the time they spent shaving the milliseconds off will obviously outstrip the time saved.
    I really don't care about the boot time because of the reasons you have already mentioned. I just want to figure out if there is any misconfiguration. I am just investigating why initramfs takes significant longer to load compared with my desktop Arch installation (non-encrypted) 1316ms for initramfs. My desktop has a Pentium 4 CPU and laptop has a quad-core i7.

  • Upgraded to OSX 10.9.1 and now Pages (iWork '08) takes much longer to launch.

    Initial launch of Pages takes significantly longer to load after upgrading OSX.  I have used 'software update', but nothing out there to download.  Any ideas?  The other components of my iWork '08 bundle work as expected, it is only Pages that seems to have performance issues under OSX 10.9.1.

    If I remember, I believe I thought I had to upgrade to Mavericks for a feature related to sharing or FaceTime or something.  I have an iMac, 2 MacBook Pro laptops (kids), an iPad (wife's) and Apple TV.  So on Mavericks, everyone in the house is happy now; I just don't like that it takes 'forever' to launch Pages.  Perhaps I will upgrade to iWork '09 to see if that takes care of the issue.

  • Reports Take A Long Time to Open on New Server

    We have a number of crystal reports.  Many have sub reports.  Some have a lot of sub reports.
    Earlier this year we swapped out a file server.  ADAPCOFP went away and was replaced by ADAPCOFP1.  ADAPCOFP has been turned off for over a month now.
    The reports run, but when you go to initially open up the file it takes forever to open.  The reports run fast once they are open, but take forever to open them.   One report, that we run daily, takes 3 minutes to open.  I turned the ADAPCOFP file server back on and this same file takes 5 seconds to open.
    I did some google searches and see that others have had this same problem and seem to indicate that they found UNC references to a now non-existent server, removing the references fixed the problem.  We have looked and relooked and looked some more and canu2019t find any UNC references anywhere in the report.  There has to be something there because the state of ADAPCOFP seems to be the key to how quickly the report opens up.
    Where should I look for UNC references.  We have Crystal that was delivered with Dynamics GP and 99% of our reporting is from GP.
    Thanks !

    Hello,
    The issue is the reports are still looking for the original server because that server name is saved in the report file. You'll have to open each report up and do a Set Location to the new report. You'll need the same version of the REport Designer the reports were created in.
    I suggest to call Dynamics and ask them how to update the reports.
    Thank you

  • Using Word Easy Table Under Report Generation takes long time to add data points to table and generate report

    Hi All,
    We used report generation tool kit to generate the report on word and with other API 's under it,we get good reports .
    But when the data points are more (> 100 on all channels) it take a long time  to write all data and create a table in the word and generate report.
    Any sugegstions how to  make this happen in some seconds .
    Please assist.

    Well, I just tried my suggestion.  I simulated a 24-channel data producer (I actually generated 25 numbers -- the first number was the row number, followed by 24 random numbers) and generated 100 of these for a total of 2500 double-precision values.  I then saved this table to Excel and closed the file.  I then opened Word (all using RGT), wrote a single text line "Text with Excel", inserted the previously-created "Excel Object", and saved and closed Word.
    First, it worked (sort of).  The Table in Word started on a new page, and was in a very tiny font (possibly trying to fit 25 columns on a page?  I didn't inspect it very carefully).  This is probably "too much data" to really try to write the whole table, unless you format it for, say, 3 significant figures.
    Now, timing.  I ran this four times, two duplicate sets, one with Excel and Word in "normal" mode, one in "minimized".  To my surprise, this didn't make a lot of difference (minimized was less than 10% faster).  Here are the approximate times:
         Generate the data -- about 1 millisecond.
         Write the Excel Report -- about 1.5 seconds
         Write the Word Report -- about 10.5 seconds
    Seems to me this is way faster than trying to do this directly in Word.

  • Takes a long time to open small MS Word Documents on SSL VPN

    I have an issue that when users connect to my ASA 5520 via SSL VPN it takes from fifteen seconds to three minutes to open up small Microsoft Word documents, it also takes a long time to save changes. Users also reporting Word crashes when on the VPN, but not when they are on the LAN. I have checked the endpoint speed of my cable modem and all is well there. The DNS and WINS settings are correct on the ASA. I have turned off compression and enabled DTLS. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Reduce the mss to 1300. If that doesn't fix it, keep lowering it by 100 each time. If you get down to 1000 and it still doesn't work, then we need to look at something else.

  • AP Trial Balance - File is massive and takes a long time to open up

    Hello,
    We are upgrading from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3 and are running into some serioud problems with the Accounts Payables Trial Balance report in Detail Mode.
    1. The Report takes upwards of 10 minutes to open up - and in many cases does not.
    2. On further research we see that the report output file is > 500MB whereas comparable 11i Trial Balance files are only 19MB.
    3. We tried running in various formats Text, PDF, HTML with no luck.
    4. In fact HTML and Text formats gave “Authentication failed” errors when we tried to open the report.
    My questions are:
    1. Why is there a such a large increase in file size? Is this expected going to R12?
    2. Is there a way to speed up the opening of the large files or create smaller files? - (summary mode, and smaller date ranges are not options as per business needs). Even a 2 month date range give the same problems.
    3. We noticed that the XLA_TRIAL_BALANCES table has 36,521,125 records...LARGE.
    4. We compared the ap_liability_balance records between 11i and R12. We have 29,171,382 in 11i and 37,769,034 in R12. But this is expected as we purge regularly in 11i production and I don't think this difference (about 30%) in the size of the tables should cause such a large difference in the size of the report files (nearly 2000%!!!).
    5. Why are we getting Authentication failed errors? Just for these reports?
    Of course we opened an SR, but you know how SRs go :-) and this is a time critical project with our deadlines nearing.
    Any help or pointers from the experts here is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Hussein,
    Thanks for your prompt reply and my apologies for the substantial delay in mine.
    We did some trouble shooting since then.
    We repolved the problem by choosing a pdf format instead of the seeded RTF format. This opened up the output in a couple of minutes because the pdf formatted output was about 50mb vs the RTF output which was 300MB+.
    But the ORIGINAL problem still remains. The xml tagged .out file is still huge with a size of nearly 1gb!
    My earlier questions here now boil down to the following questions.
    Q1. Is the huge XML Publisher's .out file expected in R12?  It really is massive!  The text file from 11i was just 19MB
    Q2. Oracle does not seem to offer the option to format the output in plain text ...We see PDF, RTF but no plain ugly text.  I would expect plain text file to be much smaller.  How can we get the output in plain text?
    1.Yes our stats are upto date. Let me emphasize that we do not have a performance problem with the report itself. The issue we are having is opening up the output.
    2. The authentication error is resolved. It was because of formatting the reports incorrectly.
    3. We did not use the usual tuning procedures such as tkprof because we do not have a performance problem.
    4. We checked the OPP file and there are none. I reiterate, The report does complete without issues. It is just that the output takes a long time to open up in the RTF
    I will appreciate if others  can share any experiences if you have faced this situation and how you have handled it.
    Thanks in advance for your time!
