The maximum report processing jobs limit configured by your system administrator has been reached

I had this exact problem. I came up with the following solution. Please note: if someone has a better one please tell me! This works, but it doesn't mean it's the best.

First, in my code behind I was declaring an object to 'be' the report in a sub-routine. I had to stop doing that. Instead I declared a generic object which would (later) become an instance of my report. (in my case I have a number of reports and which gets displayed is decided through code. If your page only ever shows one report then you can declare your report instead of a generic object.)

I declared mine above my Page_Load like this:

<code>
   Private myReport As Object
</code>

Then, where I used to create my instance of the report I do this instead:

<code>
myReport = New crTextResponsesBTW
</code>

That ensures that the myReport object is now an instance of the correct report.

Then everything else is the same except I added the following section to my page:

<code>

Private

Sub Page_Unload( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Unload

myReport.close()
myReport.dispose()

 

End Sub

</code>

I found that I could not put the myReport.Close and .dispose in the functions or subs. It had to be in the Page_Unload. It worked.

I don't like declaring generic objects early (I like to create specific obects late) but I couldn't come up with a better way.

 

am also trapped in this problem.It may be restricted by adding a counter to report generation event that may be button click or page load and then displaying message before max limit. i.e 75 

The print job limit is controlled by the following reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/CRYSTAL DECISIONS/10.0/REPORT APPLICATION SERVER/SERVER/PrintJobLimit
 
You can try increasing this number to stop the error from happening.  This may stop the error from occurring temporarily but as load increases, you find this error will start to occur again.  You are better to look at scaling your application by adding more hardware to the system.

*Do not increase it more than necessary since it can degrade the machines performance.
