Opening RS HomePage is Extermly slow!! Please help. Andy Jones

sql server reporting services:
When a client types in the homepage of the RS it takes minutes to open
instead of seconds. It is running on a W2K3 machine with SQL 2000 and the
clients are a mix of XP and 2K Pro. Any advice would be great. Oh this also
happens on the server itself.

Once you open it once it opens in seconds from then on until you logoff and
back on to the pc again. Then it is slow again.

Thanks!

This was discussed in the forum several months ago. You can find the
discussion by going to
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx and do a
search on the text "First Time Delay on Client Systems".

Here is a suggestion from Chris that worked for him. I was unsuccessful with
this. What I do is I have a simple report that I have automatically refresh
every 5 minutes (set this in Report Properties).

If you are running Windows 2003 server for your IIS reportserver, then this

is a simple issue - I'll explain what happens:

The report service engine, once it is idle for more than the default 20

minutes, the worker process is shutdown.

This is controlled by IIS.

Open up the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

Expand the server node then the application pools.

On my IIS machine, I created an application pool dedicated to the

reportserver & reportmanager virtual webs.

But anyways, for the application pool that the reportserver is pointing to

if you left everything to their defaults will be the DefaultAppPool.

Right click the default app pool and select properties.

There are two things that are checked by default - On the recycling tab

there is a checkbox for recycling worker processes - it is currently set to

1740 minutes (29 hours). Leave it.

The other one is on the performance tab - which is the one you are

interested in changing....

See the "Idle Timeout" section and increase the number of minutes to be 8

hours a typical working day - 8*60 = 480 minutes.

Next, to be sure the "morning person" that runs the first report doesn't get

the delay, set up a schedule for either a dummy or adhoc report to fire off

like at 6am so that the report component worker processes get loaded.

I hope this helps you.

There is no need to have a report fire off every minute to keep things

alive - it is just that the report service was "unloaded" and needed to load

back up.
