Question: How long does it take to run a report ?

Answer: The time it takes to run a report depends on the following factor:

• the type of report you are running:

- reports on traffic read data stored in the Promodag database. To generate such reports can take between 2 minutes and over half an hour depending on the reporting period you select (i.e. one year or one day), the number of mailboxes you select (i.e. 100 or 50,000).

- reports on content dynamically collect data through a MAPI connection (a report from the Reports > Mailbox Information group ran on several thousand mailboxes may typically take several hours to complete, for instance).

• your software and hardware configuration (local Access database on a Pentium-III, or recent workstation connected to a SQL database stored on a SQL server with 4 GB of RAM...), see related topic.
