The figure summarizes the possible viewing scenarios when viewing Crystal Reports. This complexity enables Crystal Reports to scale more efficiently (such as for larger reports and data sets). This feature is called Page on Demand.
The specific servers involved, and how a request to view a page is processed, depend upon a number of factors:
- Type of Request (On-Demand or Instance)
- Contents of Cache (is page already stored? and still valid?)
- Configuration settings on the servers (Idle time out, shared data allowed?)
