Suggestions for Better Performance and Image Quality

This section gives the information about the performance and image quality.

  1. Always setup one of the image conversion tools - nConvert (with GhostScript) or ImageMagick when Crystal Reports is to be used for report generation.

  2. Add below entries to weblogic.xml in /STAGING/ folder before generating the WAR using WarUtil. This is necessary if the application is to be deployed as an EAR or WAR file. Crystal Reports generation will fail if this is not done.

    <container-descriptor>

    <show-archived-real-path-enabled>true

    </show-archived-real-path-enabled>

    </container-descriptor>

  3. The below points are applicable from V6R2011 onwards:


    • Set up another machine (say A2) with its own Matrix Collaboration Server (MCS) and RMI server installed (in non-RIP mode); pointing to the schema on the other machine (say A1) which will act as your main MCS.

      Update the value of below key in file - emxApparelAccelerator.properties with the details of A1.

      emxApparel.CrystalReports.RMIServer.URL

      The value should be in format - HOST_IP:RMI_PORT For eg:10.89.17.114:1099

    • Configure value of below key in file - emxApparelAccelerator.properties to a valid format of type Image Holder which will act as input file to be shown up in -

      Sections - Primary Image, Sketches, Graphics in Product Specification Package

      Sections - Primary Image in Fabric Mill Sheet

      emxApparel.CrystalReports.Artwork.ImageFormat=format_mxLargeImage

      Value of this key should be the symbolic name of the format. The OOTB default is 'mxLarge Image' format.
