Using the ASP scripts for 8.5, we have the web stuff working pretty good -- after combing through the ASP files, I see that the Crystal com object is set as a session variable. Experimenting, we have successfully loaded the report as an Application object instead. (What this allows us to do is keep the report into ram and not have to re-run it at every request and therefore the report loads immediately)
I am not convinced that this is very stable though. I am not convinced that running it as a session variable is stable either, but that is the only way that Crystal will work with it, or so they say.
Has anyone implemented loading the report as an Application object instead of Session? Is it any less stable or volatile than session?
I will have about 200 users that will be using the site and I am not worrried about the machine it sits on -- its a decent server and I can get whatever I need to support it.
