Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi,
When I create a report with the mrt file size above 900kb, the report is not generated and the internet explorer "Connection lost" screen eventually comes up. But if the mrt size is below 900kb, the report is generated with no issues at all. Mind you, this is the size of the mrt report and NOT the actual PDF generated. The size of the pdf generated can grow to above 1.5mb so far with no issues as long as the mrt file is below 900kb.
Is there a limit to the size of the mrt. I have tried it on both windows server 2003 and windows 7 with the same results.

Hi I have reports >1.5MB without a problem ( without images )

You are working with IIS right?

Maybe you should read this: http://forum.stimulsoft.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=3954

Hi JorisWils,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes I am using IIS6 and IIS7 on windows 7. I just checked with windows task manager and the CPU Usage shoots up to 100% from when I click the generator link to when it loses connectivity. I tried to change the default AppPool time outs but that didn't work. I will now try to see how to allocate cpu time to the application am running (I will google how - but if you know please let me know).
Thanks

JorisWils,
Just to be clear, the reports that are greater than 1.5MB are the actual mrt file and not the final PDF created, right? I checked through task manager for the performance of the server when creating the PDF and CPU Usage shoots up to 100% during the time the application is attempting to create the PDF and it stays there till the process fails (connection lost).
Thanks.

Jep... mrt files larger than 1.5MB

mayby you can find a sollution here: http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/syst ... ls/add/cpu

Hello,

Please try to check the performance of your project on the latest build of our product.
Also you must remember that rather big capacity of the server needed for creating reports and quite big amount of memory for the process.

Thank you.

Thanks Ivan,
I looked at the performance of the server on running the report and CPU Usage runs very high for the large files but is reasonable for the smaller ones. So my question is, do you have sample code or projects or point me to documentation showing how to merge 2 or more mrt reports into one. Am trying to do what this poster here is doing but I need to know some of the terms being used.

Thanks.

Hello,

There are several ways to solve the issue.
1. You can create an empty base report, and add your reports as subreports (or use external subreports). Then you need to compile and render base report.
2. You can render all the reports separately, and then add all the rendered page in a new blank report.

Unfortunately, at this moment these features are not described in our documentation.
If you need a sample, please send a request to support@stimulsoft.com.

Thank you.
