Considerations for setting up Reporters
Reporter processes use CPU resources when they are running a report and that may be in conflict with resources required if your venue requires the machines for web sales.
You can manage how you set up reporters with the following considerations:
- While, every web listener should be set to enable 64 bit if possible, you can assign zero as the number of reporters. If there are no reporter processes, the specific machine will not run reports in the background and have no deleterious effect on web sales
- You can set only some listeners to provide reporting services
- You can also dedicate machine(s) to be only reporting engines by:
- Setting Web Listeners to zero
- Setting Classic Web Listeners to zero
- Setting HouseKeepers to one
- Setting Reporters to one - or more if you want the machine to be able to run simultaneous web listeners
