Printing many pages

edited July 2007 in General
I will be printing reports with many pages (1000-10000). What are best
practices to improve speed and avoid errors such as 'out of memory' etc.

    Hi Bora,

    ReportBuilder has been tested to handle large (multiple thousand) page
    reports. I would suggest creating your report as you normally would and
    seeing if it runs to your expectations. If there are problems with memory,
    speed, etc., we can try to pursue other options.

    Note that most speed problems dealing with larger reports are usually due to
    slow data access or network access.

    I'll add to Nico's comments: if speed of the system is essential, use JIT
    pipelines backed up with class structures, not datasets. In lots of years of
    working with them, I find datasets slow.

    Thanks for the feedback

    I have a in house developed pipeline for QuantumGrid. It has worked
    nicely with reasonable amount of data. I will look into it if I have
    performance problems.
    Every process (fetching, generating, spooling etc) start to get slow due
    to the amount of data. But my main goal is to achieve a linear increase
    in the worst case :)
