Which condition would NOT typically cause a report to fail due to resource constraints?

• A. The report parameters are too broad
• B. A report returns an excessive amount of data
• C. The report parameters are too narrow
• D. You export high volumes of data

Answer: (C)

Resource constraints in report generation hinge on how much data the system must process. If the report parameters are too broad, the system has to handle a very large data set, which can strain memory and CPU, increase processing time, and lead to timeouts or failures. Exporting high volumes of data similarly loads the system, raising the risk of resource-related problems. A report that returns an excessive amount of data is a common cause of these constraints. Conversely, when the report parameters are too narrow, the amount of data returned is smaller, keeping resource use within typical limits and making failures due to resource constraints unlikely. Therefore, the condition that would NOT typically cause a failure is when the report parameters are too narrow.
