Hello,
We built Crystal Reports (CR) which reports from SAP FI InfoSets. These reports may take a long time to execute and potentially can impact all ECC users.
AFAIK CR are executed in dialog mode on ECC.
We know that from CR perspective we can only limit the number of records returned.
One of the options is to create a dedicated application server instance for CR. But it looks like a costly one.
Other options:
Move data to BW every 15 minutes and execute reports from there.
Schedule reports at night to minimize users impact.
We are using ECC 6 EP3, BW 3.5, BOE XI 3.1 (with SAP Integration Kit) and Crystal Reports 2008.
Can you please let me know if any of you have the same challenge.
Thank you,
Serge
