Title: Active report Size limit
Post by: Cognos8 on 26 Mar 2015 03:16:34 AM
What is the active report size limit after export in below versions? I think in 10.1 had 20 MB. latest version has compress option, but what would be the maximum?

10.1 - ?
10.2 - ?
10.2.2 - ?

I remember seeing a slide in an IBM presentation when 10.2.1 was announced, detailing the performance improvements. I was so impressed I made a note of what it said. The gist of it was this:

2x smaller size, 5x faster load times, 10x more data

Sample Active Report with 500,000 data points and 1800 embedded charts:

Size: 10.2 = 176Mb, 10.2.1 = 93Mb.  Load time: 10.2 = Doesn't load, 10.2.1 = 13 sec.  Memory Use: 10.2 = Doesn't load, 10.2.1 = 83Mb

From this you can see that Active Reports in 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 are smaller and more efficient than comparable reports in 10.1 and 10.2

I wouldn't recommend an Active Report that was 93Mb, however!! :)
