I have a couple of questions about sizing Crystal Reports for Enterprise.
In the latest SAP BusinessObjects BI4 sizing guide (dated 20 February 2014), it states
Crystal Reports 2011 child processes default to 40 jobs each while Crystal Reports for Enterprise child processes default to 20 jobs each.
Is the CR4E server less capable than CR2011/CR2013, since it's "automatic" limit is halved? Will the "automatic" value be higher in BI 4.2?
Also, on page 58, the guide shows setting the CR4E maximum concurrent jobs to 80. But I'm not seeing a rule of thumb that says the value can be safely set based on the number of CPU's in the node. Are there any rules of thumb/best practices for setting this value, since obviously the "automatic" value of 20 won't be sufficient in large environments?
