Sage 300 CRE General Discussion Report speed - do reports run on the server or locally?

Report speed - do reports run on the server or locally?

Posted By billwagnon over 10 years ago

I am working on one Crystal and one RD report for Sage CRE. These are Job Cost reports using JC Transactions.

The reports are very very slow to return information. The computer I am using is an older Windows XP model.

Does the speed of the user machine affect report return time, or is this a server issue?

By default it will compile on the workstation. However; as of version 12.1 there is an option for remote printing.

There is a Sage 300 CRE help topic on Remote Printing

"The remote printing feature harnesses the processing power of your accounting or
report server, rather than your workstation, to print Report Designer (RD) and
Crystal (CR) reports. Reports may print significantly faster using the remote
printing feature."

There is also a knowledgebase article: How do I configure and use the remote print feature?

Casey, I am on Sage Desktop Help in the application and I'm getting "No topics found" on a Search for "remote printing".

I have looked on this site, on Sage.com, and at Sage University and I cannot find a knowledge base. Could you give me a link to the knowledge base?
