One of the Page Servers cannot connect to the production database. This is the most likely cause of the intermittent errors when viewing certain Crystal Reports. The error message "Error in File : Failed to retrieve data from the database/9" indicates a problem with retrieving data from the database. Since the same users can view instances and scheduling the same reports without any error message, it suggests that the issue is specific to the on-demand viewing of reports, which involves connecting to the production database. Therefore, the problem is likely due to a Page Server being unable to establish a connection with the production database.Rate this question:

You are planning your BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment and determine that your Company has 3000 reports that must run overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Each report takes five minutes to run. How many single-processor Crystal Reports Job Servers should you include in your deployment in order to meet the expected scheduling requirements?
- A.
One
- B.
Two
- C.
Five
- D.
Ten
Correct Answer
C. FiveExplanation
Based on the given information, there are 3000 reports that need to run overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., with each report taking five minutes to run. To meet the scheduling requirements, it is necessary to have enough Crystal Reports Job Servers to handle the workload. Since each report takes five minutes to run, and there are 10 hours available for the reports to run (from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.), the total time available is 10 hours x 60 minutes = 600 minutes. Therefore, dividing the total available time (600 minutes) by the time it takes to run one report (5 minutes), we get 600/5 = 120. This means that a single server can handle 120 reports. Since there are 3000 reports, we need 3000/120 = 25 servers. However, the options provided are one, two, five, and ten servers. Among these options, the closest number to 25 is five. Therefore, the correct answer is five.Rate this question:
