Report Performance

rbuser

Hi all.

I'm having a little problem with a report. Here is my case.

My report collects data from a data-warehouse (which I had to build to
better the perfomance of the report (s)). This report takes time to
generate. Usually it used to take 45 minutes with other reporters, with
ReportBuilder and my data-warehouse it takes 3 minutes max. But I'm having
the problem that when it generates a report it does it only for the page on
the preview, so when I click "Next" button it takes a little while to show
the next page. In my worst case, when I click the "Print" button to send it
to the printer it takes a long time to print the whole report.

I really need to be able to generate the whole report at once and if better
print it after it is completly generated.

If anybody knows something about this, please let me know. Maybe I'm doing
something wrong.

FYI: I'm using and end-user application.

Thanks.

Fabio.

Hi Fabio,

Are you a developer who has purchased ReportBuilder or are you using an
application that has ReportBuilder built into it?

I'm using an application with ReportBuilder built into it.
And if you want to know some more about it, the version of ReportBuilder is
the 9.01 with Delphi 7. I was told about it.

Please understand that Digital Metaphors can only provide tech support to

There is an end-user tutorial called Learning ReportBuilder that can be
downloaded from our web site for free. See the following article for more
infomation.

Article: Learning ReportBuilder
--------------------------------

Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
upon installation.
