In this example, the "Maximum Simultaneous Processing Threads" is increased to 80.
The Properties tab of the Page Server lets you set the location of temporary files, the maximum simultaneous processing threads, and the number of minutes before an idle job is closed.
The "Location of Temp Files" setting specifies the absolute path to a directory on the Page Server machine.This directory must have plenty of free hard disk space. If not enough disk space is available, job processing may be slower than usual, or job processing may fail.
The "Maximum Simultaneous Processing Threads" setting limits the number of concurrent reporting requests that any single Page Server processes. The default value is acceptable for most, if not all, reporting scenarios. The ideal setting for your reporting environment, however, is highly dependent upon your hardware configuration, your database software, and your reporting requirements. Thus, it is difficult to discuss the recommended or optimum settings in a general way. It is recommended that you contact your Crystal Decisions, Inc. sales representative and request information about the Crystal Enterprise Sizing Guide. A Crystal Services consultant can then assess your reporting environment and assist you in customizing these advanced configuration and performance settings.
The "Minutes Before an Idle Job is Closed" setting alters the length of time that the Page Server waits for further requests from an idle connection. Before you change this setting, it is important to understand that setting a value too low can cause a user's request to be closed prematurely, and setting a value that is too high can cause requests to be queued while the server waits for idle jobs to be closed.
