Working in Web Farm and Web Garden architectures

To use the FastReport report generator in a multi-server (Web Farm) or multi-processor (Web Garden) architecture there are additional requirements for creating special storage for data synchronization between WebReport objects.

Add the following lines to the configuration file web.config:

  <appSettings>
    <add key="FastReportStoragePath" value="\\FS\WebReport_Exchange"/>
    <add key="FastReportStorageTimeout" value="10"/>
    <add key="FastReportStorageCleanup" value="1"/>
  </appSettings>

• FastReportStoragePath - path to the folder for temporary files when working in a multi-server architecture, each server must have access to this folder;
• FastReportStorageTimeout - cache time for reports, in minutes;
• FastReportStorageCleanup - time for checking the expired cache entries, in minutes.

Check for correct configuration by means of the URL:

http://yoursite/app_folder/FastReport.Export.axd

You should see Cluster mode: ON.
