Hi,
We were advised by the Support team to look at the Scheduled Reports load and level that for better PPM performance.
Suggestion was to decrease the number of reports scheduled for the same date and time period, and not having more than 12 reports running on the same date and time.
This is a big manual task which will have to be reviewed at least weekly to address any changes to the scheduled run times. I would have thought that PPM should be able to handle the scheduled reports and by default split the executions up in more than one thread or at least allow for a None Manual way to level the load.
I understand that it's not really possible to auto level the load because users might have a requirement to have the reports ready by a specific time.
Do you have a better way to level out the reports scheduled for the day and where the reports are scheduled at the same time, level the report out by rescheduling the reports to start earlier for example with a 3 minute split between each report and ensure those reports does not run all at the same time but still ready before the original scheduled time.
