sql server reporting services : SQL Server Reporting Services Issue

It sounds like you are tweaking the wrong value. In machine.config look for
the processModel element and the memoryLimit attribute. This attribute
represents the percentage of memory that ASP.Net can use before it recycles
the AppDomain. Increasing this value should allow the report to run.

One of my collegues reported the following behavior in SQL Server Reporting
Services (am pasting the issue verbatim as reported):

=====
We are using SQL Server Reporting Services with Service Pack 1 to generate
some reports. There is a performance issue in generating reports. If we try
to generate the reports for more than 1000 records we get an error
'operation timedout' and reports are not generated. The above error occurs
if we try to generate the reports for PDF and TIFF formats. We are able to
successfully generate reports for XLS format.
=====

To get over this issue, I suggested that they increase the timeout in the
reporting services object, which solved the problem temporarily. However,
today, a different issue was reported (as a consequence of the earlier
setting):

=====
After increasing the 'timeout' of report service object, it worked for 1000+
records. Now after increasing the number of records to more than 2000 the
application is crashing. The IIS event log shows an error "aspnet_wp.exe is
recycled because memory consumption exceeded 305 MB". The suggested fix was
to changes the value in machine.config (increasing file limit from default
4MB to 100 MB). However, the issue is still not solved, since it can recur
again.
=====

Any suggestions?

Thanks Daniel. Will forward this to my collegue.

On a related note, is 2000 records too much for RS to handle? Why is there
so much memory consumption? Even if we increase this limit, chances are it
can cap again in the future with more records being processed. Is there a
long-term solution way out here?

TIFF and PDF are the two worst renderers with respect to memory consumption.
We continue to look at ways to improve this. The only workarounds are to
choose other renderings or try and limit the amount of information in the
report.
