Flex links Designer vs Runtime

[KAB]

Kathleen, __Is there a specific requriement (file(s)) required if you are distributing reports with flex links in them?__I currently have a report that will run from designer 10mins, but will not run from the runtime prompt (over an hour).

Kathleen, the report did run, however it took 4 hours using the runtime. Is there something I can do to speed this up?

Using Flexlink will require R&R to build an index but runtime should not be any more resource intensive that the designer. Was this a one time problem or can it be repeated if you run the report again?____Kathleen__R&R Support

This is repeatable. I have tried on both a production system 30 hours for the runtime and 45 mins for the designer, as well as a testbed system (limited amount of data) 2hrs for runtime and 10 mins for designer.
