• Running the same report in an application that uses the Crystal Reports 2008 SDK for Visual Studio .NET takes several minutes to complete.

• Crystal Reports 2008.
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

• The issue has been escalated for a fix.
• Reference: ADAPT01727259.

• The issue is resolved in Service Pack 10 for SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET.
• The fix will also be released in Service Pack 6, Fix Pac 5 for Crystal Reports 2008. ETA: Late November 2014.

• Additional suggestions to improve performance:
• Find the clientSDKOptions.xml file in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Emterprise 12.0\win32_x86. Change “VerifyDatabaseOnSetDataSource” from “True” to “False”.
• Add the Btrieve Key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Database, then we add the string value “DoNotPadWithBlanksToFillCharColumns” and set it to “Yes”.
• Add the String Value "AllAtOnce_BackwardCompatible" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryEngine and set the value to 1.
