Completed Reports

Release Note for 3.74

From 3.74 onwards, there is a change to the completed reports functionality. This is due to the performance issues experienced by OneCloud customers.

The CRSEARCH default parameter controls how the system searches for completed reports in both v4 client and v4 online.

OneCloud customers may experience issues of the report server taking too long to scan the completed reports folder. In this case they can change the functionality to store the xml meta data information in a table called REPORT_COMPLETED. The physical location of the completed report is also stored in the table although the report itself will still reside on the report server.

On premise customers should be unaffected by the performance issues and can leave the setting at the default value.

Value Description
1 Use existing functionality. This is the default option.
  • searches use directory scan
  • new reports create xml meta data file only
2 Populate the database.
  • report server will run utility to populate database from xml meta data files
  • once complete, default parameter changed to 3
  • IISRESET required *
  • reports completed lists populated from database

* IISRESET will kick users off the system so is best run out of hours
3 Database search.
  • database population is complete
  • searches use database
  • new reports will create xml meta data files and populate the database
This is the recommended setting for OneCloud users.

Deleted Reports

Where reports have been removed from the completed reports folder on the report server (eg for maintenance purposes), an error will be displayed on the submitted reports screen when trying to access the report.
