Report Viewer Q2 11 - Session Objects & Memory

[Annmarie Ziegler]

Quick Background ...

MVC 2 Web application that uses Telerik Q2 2011 Report viewer.  There are 2 web servers in a load balanced environment.  The session state is out of process (AppFabric).

I understand that the report viewer stores quite a bit of information in the session.  What I am struggling to understand is when the memory is released (in other words, the session variables are removed)  ... from my testing, it appears that it is only released when the session ends (user log out or session timeout)

This is a lot of overhead. I am looking for strategy I can use to clean the report viewer session variables manually after the report has been viewed?  Are the session keys always the same?  

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hi Annmarie Ziegler,

You are correct the session objects are released when the user logs out or session times out. Thus one of the options is to decrease the session timeout. If this is not an option in the latest Telerik Reporting release Q2 2011 Service Pack 1 we have introduced a dedicated session state management system to store and cache rendered pages and some large resources such as images on an external storage. For more information and the available configurations check out Session State Management help article.

Best wishes,
