Creating reports

phenom · 01-31-2007, 04:28 PM

Creating reports was painfully slow in 2006, at least for me. It was slow on PC (beyond adequately equipped) and even slower on the Mac (even better equipped). Did anybody else notice that and if so, can I expect to see an improvement in 2007 in the time it takes to create reports as well as the time it takes to archive those reports?

There are hundreads of different reports for each team, each league, each player in the game. They contain so much data which needs to be searched and calculated, it just will not be much faster. We're using great tools to find the bottlenecks and to make it faster, but I have not much hope that it will be much faster than in OOTP 2006.

When you just play the game, it's no problem, just because the reports are generated on demand, and it doesn't need a long time for a single report. In fact it's really fast. Just a second. But if you want to get all the 100,000 reports for your league, including 10 years of stats and stuff in the history reports, you will have to wait. 100,000 reports, 1 second/report = 27 hours

Well, OOTP 2007 will be much faster than that, don't worry.

Honestly, I can understand that with the creation of reports. What concerns me more is the time it takes for the in-game tool to archive the reports. I ran some reports last weekend which totalled about 17,000 files, and while they took an hour or so to generate, they took literally 18 hours to archive.

I think a one-step option for creating the league files, archiving and uploading would be a nice feature if you don't change the settings from sim-to-sim.

When dealing with computer calculations, 1 second is not what I'd consider "really fast".

That's one of the features of the now Commish Home

Some reports need a millisecond, other need 2 seconds... depends on the amount and kind of data which is on the report!

I know. Just giving you a little grief.

Well, FWIW, in my work with OOTP2007's reports so far, I've found the archiving to take much less time than the creation of the reports.

FWIW, I used to play softball with a guy named Kai.
