Regarding Crystal Reports SDK for VS.NET 2010 "Concurrent Processing License (CPL)"

Former Member

I know that crystal reports 13.02  software used for VS 2010 is free but has the CPL limitation to 3.

Wanted to know if we can by anyway increase the concurrency limit.  Will this limit apply even if it is a paid version or the limit can be purchased by purchasing any license of crystal report software?  CPL set to 3 requests is very less for the production applications.

Hello Krishna

There is no way to increase the 3 CPL - not with the CR SDK. If you need more processing power, your choices are:

SAP Crystal Reports Server where you can go up to 25 CPL (5 named, 20 unnamed)

BI 4.0 which can essentially be unlimited - depending on contract, etc.

The following resources should help you out a bit more:

Web Farms may be another option. For more info see the following:

Thanks Ludek will go through the resources provided.

One last question, is this limit of 3 CPL was introduced in crystal reports from crystal report 2008 software or was the limit in earlier versions also. I am asking this question because i never faced CPL issues when developed reports app using VS2005 and using crystal reports that come along with VS 2005.

Hello Jaya

The same limit was there from CR 9. Judging from the last query, I suspect there is more behind your original question. E.g.; you are actually encountering some issue now, whereas you did not in a previous version of CR?

Hello Ludek,

Yes i am encountering the issue of cpl in the current development because i used pull method in creating crystal reports using VS 2010 and crystal reports 13.02... previously i developed reports using push method  (getting data to a local data source and then pushing it to report) using VS 2008 and VS 2005 with crystal reports software included in VS SDK, which never gave me the issue of CPL, might be because data is collected in DS or any other data source and passed to crystal report and using from there which takes less time..

Another issue in pull method is, if i view a huge report which takes time doesn't allow me to open application in new tab of same browser session window (to view another report) until the first one has finished processing, but if i open a new browser window its asks for login and allows me to view another report. Why It's restricting single user session to run single report at a time.I am using forms authentication.

OK. So you've got at least two issues. Let's separate them into two posts if the following does not help;

Re;

You found the only possible solution I am aware of - other than using SAP Crystal Reports Server or BI 4.0 to schedule the reports and then view the reports once they have been run. If you have anymore questions on this, please create a new thread.

What is the actual issue? Error? Behavior? Symptoms? You're kind of skirting around the issue, 1st asking about CPL, then talking about some unspecified issue in cpl... Let's get to the point please.

Nothing, it is the issue with CPL.... if more than 3 users access reports concurrently the other requests are kept in queue....no error message..

Hi,

I conveyed that in my current development i am facing the 3cpl issue, where report engine cannot accept more than 3 concurrent requests... and which can't be changed/fixed. For which you suggested to go for load balancing or use of crystal re[port enterprise version. Nothing else.

Thanks ludek.
