     Posted: 28 Apr 2011 at 9:43pm
Hi,
 
I am new to Crystal Reports.
 
I have created a couple of .rpt files using CR2008 and I am loading these report files in my aspx pages using CrystalReportViewer control.
I am planning to host my webApp on IIS in production environment. Maximum simultaneous/concurrent connections to my reports would be 1 or 2.
My question is:
1. Do I need Crystal Reports Server in this scenario?
2. In future if the number of concurrent users to report increases then do I need to go for Crystal Reports Server? Will just buying and installing the Crystal reports server on production server work? or will I have to do some configuration or some other changes in the existing deployed reports? OR Will I have to deploy my existing reports on Crystal Report Server again?
 
Any help will be highly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
Manish

You don't need CRS if your application is running the reports internally.  I've never had any problems will multiple people connecting to the same report without something like CRS.

If you do decide to get CRS, you'll have to deploy your reports to it and then modify your code to read your reports from there instead of from where they're currently located.
 
Since you're on IIS, I'm assuming that your application is written in .NET (although it could be classic ASP as well.)  One thing to remember is that the Crystal components used by IIS are based on COM components.  .NET does not memory manage these components well so you need to explicitly call Dispose() on the report in the FormUnload event handler in order to clean up the memory that is used.  If you don't, you'll run into issues after running several reports.

Thanks for the important information, Dell.
Yes, we are using Asp.Net 4.0.
I heard that without CRS, concurrent users to the report can maximum be 3. Further requests to reports get queued up and a message is logged in event viewwer for the same. I will try this and find it out.
 
Thanks again for the infomation. :)
