Processing and Caching

Crystal Reports Server supports

efficient report processing through the

page server. The page server is primar-

ily responsible for responding to page

requests by processing reports and

generating them as needed. Only the

requested page is returned, not the

entire report. This greatly enhances

performance and reduces unnecessary

network traffic for large reports.

Crystal Reports Server also supports

active data sharing. Active data sharing

means that in situations where different

reports access the same data, the doc-

uments can “share” the data, and the

requested report can be rendered with-

out an additional database hit, even

though the other report itself may

be different. This results in significant

performance improvement across the

entire system, including hardware,

applications, and database. A major

benefit of active data sharing is that as

the load and usage increase, more data

is cached, and the system runs more

efficiently. The cache server in Crystal

Reports Server is responsible for han-

dling all report-viewing requests. The

cache server checks whether or not

it can fulfill a request with a cached

report page. If it cannot, it asks the

page server to generate the page.

Collaboration

Threaded discussions – a fully integrat-

ed feature of the end-user portal –

enable users to create and maintain

comments on any Crystal Reports doc-

ument accessible in Crystal Reports

Server. All threaded-discussion infor-

mation is managed and stored in the

repository. Discussion threads can also

be made public or private.

Adding Reports to Crystal Reports

Server

Crystal Reports Server is designed to

support batch publishing of Crystal

Reports documents to the document

repository on the Web. Using a desk-

top publishing wizard (see Figure 9),

your administrators and end users can

publish multiple reports to Crystal

Reports Server. The wizard also lets

you configure report processing sched-

ules, security, parameters, and data-

base logons.
