Question

Is it possible to configure SSRS web server to cache datasets on "session" level?

I mean the browsing through standard SSRS web front-end, but I'm not sure that it supports sessions ..

(P.S. the real problem is that the user action "going deeper into group" is too slow - dataset is re-queried for each 'clicking on plus').

Answer 1

I would set Cache options for this report.

From the Folder view, click on the Open Menu button next to the report and choose Manage, then Processing. Choose the "Cache a temporary copy ..." option that best suits your scenario.

Personally I dont like the "clicking on plus" UI. You may find that the HTML rendering effort is also slow once the dataset is cached.

Instead I prefer to set Bookmarks which result in a Report Map (hyperlinks). The UI is cleaner and faster.
