BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

General scalability considerations

This section provides information about system scalability and the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers that are responsible for particular aspects of your system. Each subsection focuses on one aspect of your system's capacity, discusses the relevant components, and provides a number of ways in which you might modify your configuration accordingly.

Before modifying these aspects of your system, it is strongly recommended that you contact your Business Objects sales representative and request information about the BusinessObjects Enterprise Sizing Guide. A Business Objects Services consultant can then assess your reporting environment and assist in determining the configuration that will best integrate with your current environment.

General scalability considerations include the following:

• Increasing overall system capacity
• Increasing scheduled reporting capacity
• Increasing on-demand viewing capacity for Crystal reports
• Increasing prompting capacity
• Enhancing custom web applications
• Improving web response speeds
• Getting the most from existing resources
