SSRS Data Driven Subscription Multiple reports running concurrently

Question

We have a 2010 BI Sharepoint (SSRS 2012) site that has links to several databases:

Database A will be available @12:00am
Database B will be available @1:00am
Database B will be available @2:00am

So I have a shared schedule setup for each database for the above times. How many reports should I have running in each shared schedule? For now I only have 10 sample reports and they all kicked off and ran within the same second (maybe some kicked off a couple seconds later). But I infer from that they don't run in order, rather asynchronously.

So, what is the limit and will it kill my server's performance if I have 100's of reports running. Or should I make a schedule and limit each schedule to run about 30-40 reports each?

Answer 1

I can not infer from your question if you are creating a snapshot or an email service...in any case there are tools that you can use to fine tune scheduling outside of ssrs. In ssrs I would recommend that you stager your report requests, if is makes sense for huge reports. In any case, You should stager your schedules to some degree.
