Precalculation Service

The Precalculation Service is a separate component with its own installation that is available on 6.40
Final Compilation CD4. I searched in SAP Market place but didn’t find any results. We need to install
it in Client and Server systems.

It is a mandatory setting to allow the service to interact with local machine to run the report
automatically.
