Re: RUN_PRODUCT Performance suck!

Reports 2.5, due out by Q1 of CY95, contains a Windows batch engine that stays active on your desktop, and queue up reports fired at it by Forms in an instant, and continues to work unobtrusively in the background on processing the queued up reports (much the same as Print Manager). Forms 4.0.13, Reports 2.0.14 may improve this Forms -> Reports time a little, but it's the upcoming batch engine that makes the night and day difference. Of course, Oracle Graphics already has the batch engine concept on Windows, so issuing updates of multiple charts in your forms is quite a bit faster even today than lots of report launching. This continues to be the case for Graphics 2.5.

Hope this helps.
