Performance Help Help....

I have the following setup -
Database Server having (Report Server Database + Application Database)
Hardware Config - 4 CPU 1.6 ghz, 8 GB RAM, About 15 GB RAID x5 drive (75 gb
disk space)
Software - Windows 2K Advance Server SP4, SQL 2000 sp3
IIS Server ( Report Server, Application Website)
Hardware config - 2CPU (1130 mhz), 1 gb RAM
Software - Windows 2K Server SP4, Reporting Services with SP1
Flow of application - User visits the application web site, queries (data
size 2.3 million records for a month) the and internally application passes
this query to Report Server through URL and data comes back to the User.
This thing works fine as long user queries for 2-3 days of data, but it
starts throwing "Server not available..." if it goes beyond that. (I saw
that on the web server aspnet_wp.exe starts crashing)
Any suggestion or solutions are welcome. I'm thinking of putting Report
Server web site on the Database Server, but I want to avoid that as I don't
want to run IIS with SQL 2000 (may be I'm wrong).
Thanks in advance,
SuhaibDo you have the /3GB flag set in c:\boot.ini? Take a look at for some common
things

Another thing to do would be to monitor the Process | Privates bytes
performance counter for the aspnet_wp.exe process.

have you some aggregated data? does it SQL Server standard or enterprise
edition?
Have you try to use OLAP Cubes?

rending it as (html, pdf, etc?). How long does it take from query analyzer?
Are you sending lots of data to RS and letting it filter or letting the
query itself filter out the data before it arrives at RS?

for 5 days - 430,000.
have you some aggregated data?
Yes, but we are not using any filter option on Report Server side
does it SQL Server standard or enterprise edition?
enterprise
Have you try to use OLAP Cubes?
Not now.
We are upgrading our current Reports from pure html using ASP to ASP.NET
with Reporting Services. We used to allow user's to query data for 3
months, again these months were not prefined, user's were allowed to select
Jan to March or Feb to April, with Reporting Services we are not able cross
more than 3 days forget about going across 3 months.
Database is partitioned based on Month, Vendor, and Year ID (Currently we
just have one vendor and one month of data, so I can't balme my partiton)

wow!!!!
its very very big!!!
why do you return so many details in your report?
If you use aggregated function in RS, then the time to process the report
will be huge!!! in this case, I recommend to create multiple datasets (1 for
the detail, 1 for aggregated data with an SQL statement which do the
calculations (sums, group by...))
Maybe you can schedule the report and save it as a snapshot report. (or save
it as PDF in a network folder)

somemore and wait somemore. If your customer needs a data extract (for
instance to load their own datamart) then you should use DTS. Otherwise, you
should have reports that provide drill through that allows the customer to
get to the data they are interested in. No human is going to browse 430,000
rows. I suggest you look at how to do drill through. RS supports drill
through reports very cleanly and it is the way to go.
As far as scheduling a PDF. This would be a 5,000 page PDF report. This is
not reasonable to expect a system to do. I strongly suggest re-analyzing
your requirements and solutions. Nobody will have a solution for a 5,000
page report that is speedy. Again, if you are extracting data for someone's
datamart then use DTS.
