Hello
VS2010 CR 2008 SP3 on Windows12 Standard 64 bits
I wrote a c# app to prepare a CR report and export it to PDF. As many requests can come together - I can run many instances of this app. The app uses the DLL - not the Crystal options from within VisualStudio. Data is from MSSQL (using OLEDB) and IBM AS400 ISeries (using ODBC)
In XP - all works OK. Preparing the report and exporting it to PDF takes between 3.5 to 5 seconds
The client wants to move to WindowsServer 2012 on a virtual machine
The test show:
when my app (same app as XP) is compiled for 64 bits - the connection to the CR DLL is almost as fast as on XP (0.4 second) - but I cannot connect to the database because the ISeries ODBC can work only on a 32 bits platform
when my app (same app as XP) is compiled for 32 bits - the connection to the CR DLL is VERY slow (50 secs...)- but I cant connect to the ISeries database
My client and I are quite frustated.. Do you have any suggestion? Have a nice day Gil Yoktan
