StimulReport.Net in Web Farm Environment

[isspalm]

Dear All,

We are currently developing a 3 tier enterprise-wide web application in ASP.Net 2.0. We will be having a web server, application server, file server and SQL server cluster. At a later stage, we will consider multiple web servers and application servers for load balancing. There are some restrictions imposed such as

(1) access to limited ports
(2) files (exported reports) cannot be saved in the web server or application server and can only be streamed back to the browser
(3) Any files that need to be saved can be done so only in the file server
(4) All access to the database will be strictly through the application server

I would like to know whether StimulReport can be deployed in such an environment and if yes is there any deployment guide/diagram?

Thanks in advance,

Adi

Dear All,

(1) access to limited ports

StimulReport.Net don't use any ports.

(2) files (exported reports) cannot be saved in the web server or application server and can only be streamed back to the browser

StimulReport.Net contain full list of method for export reports to various formats into page stream. It's not problem.

(3) Any files that need to be saved can be done so only in the file server

StimulReport.net don't use file caching (it use Page.Cache for images).

(4) All access to the database will be strictly through the application server

You can use DataSet for data if your restrictions don't allow using direct access to database.

I would like to know whether StimulReport can be deployed in such an environment and if yes is there any deployment guide/diagram?

You need simply copy StimulReport.Net dll's to your bin directory. You don't need install it. You don't need register it.

Please let me know if you need any help.
