Error description
Exporting Report Studio list report to Excel 2007 consumes lots of memory and time. The report is running against SQL object and conditional variables for rendering. Removing these variables didn't help reducing the memory. Tested with following scenario: - A list report with 30 columns, rownum < 100K a) PDF: took 20 minutes (BiBus process memory goes up to 400MB) b) Excel 2007: took almost 2 hours (BiBus process memory goes up to 1.2GB) Changing rows per page (e.g. 25000) helped reducing memory. However, this is not acceptable to customer as business users still need 65,536 rows on the first page. System Environment: - Cognos 8.4 Fix Pack 2 - Windows - Oracle 10g (Reporting DB) Note: Due to complexity, this APAR has been targeted to the next major release as the change is architecture in nature.
