Activate/Initialize Report Server - Rsactivate Not Recognized
Mar 6, 2008
Hey guys I'm baffled. I've installed SSRS on our IIS server and referenced it to our SQL Server (remote server) but, I'm getting the Reporting Services Error:
The report server installation is not initialized. Check the documentation for more information. (rsReportServerNotActivated)
-2147159550
I've tried rsactivate from both 'Start>Run' and from the command prompt. In both cases the command rsactivate is not a recognized command, executable program or batch file...yadda yadda yadda.
What am I doing wrong and what do I do to fix this??
Thanks,
Jim
I have this line in a textbox of a table. =LSET(Fields!ReportDate.Value,25) + RSET(CStr(FormatNumber(Fields!UNITS_RPTDATE.Value,0,0,0,0)),20) + RSET(CStr(FormatCurrency(Fields!CASH_RPTDATE.Value,2,0,0,0)),20)
It looks great when I preview it in Visual Studio. But when I upload the rdl to the report server the alignment is gone and it looks as if the Report Server doesn't recognize the LSET and RSET functions. Anyone have an idea if this is a bug with the report server or is something wrong with our report server.
No matter how I try to enter an automatic query parameter it just isn't recognized as such. I get missing expression errors from the SQL syntax check and no report variables are generated. There must be something incredibly simple that I am missing....
The most recent query string I've entered is
SELECT DISTINCT WRTE_ROUTE FROM WSMGR.WIPRTE WHERE WRTE_RT_GRP_1 = 'RULE_BASED' AND WRTE_FACILITY = @Facility
I want to know if there is a way to activate an evaluation version of SQL Server 2005 without re-installing the product completely. Running evaluation in a production environment while waiting on my purchase of Standard edition to be completed. All I have is my Microsoft Open License Order Confirmation.
Since I installed SQL Server 2005 on the same server than SQL 2000, my Reporting Service is getting me this error:
"The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database. You must either restore a backup key or delete all encrypted content and then restart the service. Check the documentation for more information. (rsReportServerDisabled) Get Online Help
Bad Data. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090005)"
I looked over some other logs and forums, and pretty much all pointed to use the rsactivate utility. Well, I am getting frustrated trying to run the rsactivate utility since I typed in the command rsactivate -r and got an error message that didn't expect to get.
Ej:
C:>rsactivate -r Either the WMI provider or the path to the local config file must be specified
Then I typed in the path and still got this:
C:>rsactivate -r "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLReporting ServicesReportServerRSReportServer.config" Either the WMI provider or the path to the local config file must be specified
Does someone out there have had this situation or escenario before and what you did to solve it?....
I really need an input or hint on this, so I will appreciate any help.
I have a big problem with Reporting Services 2005 working on Windows 2003 Server. RS work as Network service, on subdomain reporting.mydomain with SSL wildcard certificate *.mydomain, Anonymous access: disabled and basic authentication: enabled ReportManager and reportServer has defualt virtual folders (/reporting, /reportserver)
My problem is: 1) I can't manage security roles and site settings with report maanger. when I try assign roles to new user or group I get followng error:
"The user or group name 'BUILTINAdministrators' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName) Get Online Help" when i try to execute reports in report manager, parameters controls are not displayed correctly (very simple text boxes) and I can see: The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady)
and I can't see my report in browser (IE 6.0) but only export to PDF, Excel...
other functionality are working fine i.e upload new files, creatign folders....
2) Also my reportserver virtual folder does not work correctly. When I navigate to mydomain/reportserver I can see content of this virtual folder, than when I navigate to ReportService.soap i can see normal ReportServer view
reporting.mydomain - /Reportserver/

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.1399.00
I think it is security issue. What schould i do to solve this problems?
I've just installed Workgroup Edition for the first time. I have copies on each of two servers, each ordered with five CALs.
My problem is that I don't know how to assign the licenses. I can't find anything in the documentation about it, nothing in the tools menus, and no reference to SQL Server in the Licensing application. The latter really looks like the right place, so if I had to guess, I'd think I've installed something incorrectly. Shouldn't SQL Server appear there as a product?
Of course, I'd also think this would be documented somewhere, but then it's probably one of those things that any idiot would know, so there's no need to explain it.
Once I get past that problem, I'll be setting up eight workstations. I understand from Microsoft Sales that since I've purchased a total of ten CALs, then all eight workstations will be able to access either server. Do I have to do anything special to make that work? Currently, there's no domain. The servers are just members of a workgroup.
Newbie strikes again.. I'm attempting to connect to a SQL Server database (using VS 2005). My code generated no errors in the build but when I tried to access the database, I got the following message:"The ConnectionString property has not been initialized."My connection string is stored in my web.config file. My code goes as follows:Dim strSQL As String = "SQL string stored here"Dim objConnection as SqlConnection = New SQLConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("name of connection string is here"))Dim objCommand as SQLCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, objConnection)objConnection.Open()Then I go on to open my reader and such. Where should I be initializing the ConnectionString property?TIA,Lesley
Hi,I have an application (Asp.net + c#).There is a SQL table called 'Status' it is used to store pending and activated events.There is a field called 'Complete'.So when user register I want to add recored to 'Complete' field as 'Pending'But I cant understand how to do this. Plese help me
As newbie in server country I try a course example to test a distributed transaction accessing both SQL Server 2005 and Sql Server 2005 Express.
But I get an error message saying: --->MSDTC on server is not available
I Internetted somewhere that MSDTC stands for TransactionManager service. If I look in the 'Services' list I do not see something like MSDTC, so I think it is not installed or started.
ServerA - PDC ServerB - BDC ServerC - member server
My NT Workstation is logged onto DomainA as UserA.
If I use Network Neighborhood and click on ServerA (the PDC) , it shows me all the shares and doesn't ask me for any username password. Similarily if I click on ServerB (the BDC).
However if I click on ServerC (member server) . It wants a username/password. Why doesn't ServerC realize that I am already logged onto the Domain (ie check with a domain controller) rather than ask me to log on again. Also when I specify the username, I have to include the domain i.e. "DomainAUserA". Just "UserA" won't work.
The problem is ServerC is soon to be a production SQLServer and has integrated security. The clients log onto the domain, however, (I'm speculating that) when they run a SQL application, SQLServer will not see an NT login for verification. I havn't run ito this problem before as my SQLServers have up to now also been domain controllers.
Anybody know what is happening and what the solution, if any, there is.
I have calenders activated in our reports.So, I want only those date values to be enabled for the year I am selecting . Is there any option for that?????
I have this very big text file (2.5 GB - which of course I am not able to open). This resides on a server which has SQL 2005.
I have created a linked server for this text file on my SQL database, and when I try to query the table, I get an error:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "txtsrv".
Why am I getting this error? When I make a dummy linked server on my local machine and test the steps it all works OK. but when I go to this server where the file and it's SQL instance is lying, I get this error. Please can someone provide me with some help on this?
Many thanks, ~S
P.S. Here is how I created the linked server (I also have the Schema.ini lying under the same folder):
I have automated process, which synchronizes a transactional publication using initialize from backup approach. It drops subscriptions and puts them back again once the restore on the subscriber is completed.
Dropping the subscriptions causes a lot of blocking and deadlocking. I've decided to remove those steps, but it causes loss of data on the subscriber.
Is it a must to drop and re-create the subscriptions during such process? If not, how can I avoid the loss of data?
I have two servers, DEV and PROD. Now my DEV server works just great, I can connect to the linked server, query, etc... all is well.
So I'm setting up my PROD server and when I go to add the linked server I get:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI".... and Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection.
Now I am running SQL Server 2005 and connecting to an SQL 2000 server.
The odd part is that this works just fine on DEV.
When I go to create the linked server I set:
Linked Server: "LinkedServerName"
Server Type: "SQL Server"
and that's it.
I go to Security and enter my DOMAINUSER.ACCOUNT and then enter the login creds for the linked server.
When I click "OK" I get the above mentioned error code.
3.Create linked server with scripts: exec sp_addlinkedserver N'MyOracle1', 'Oracle', 'ORAOLEDB.Oracle', N'//10.154.14.235', N'FetchSize=2000', '' exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname='MyOracle', @useself=N'FALSE', @rmtuser=N'root', @rmtpassword='Sqlexp!23' 4. After create successful and testing the connection ,I got the error below.(My windows firewall is turn off)
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "MyOracle".OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "MyOracle" returned message "ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
i need to execute a ssis(sql 2005 integration service) on a document document library . can you people help me out how i can do it
i want to make a work flow which initiate when new document upload in a moss document library and this work flow pass the document to a ssis package and initiate that ssis package
note: the database and moss servers are on different machine
This is a problem that never get solved, sometime I can use other way to avoid it, but havn't found a solution yet, i hope I can get some more idea here.
I am using SQL 2005, when I run
select * into #import1 from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webjeff2.xls', 'select * from [jeff2$]')
I get
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
when I try to compile a SP with that statement in it, I get the same error, like
create stored procedure test
as begin
select * into #import1 from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webjeff2.xls', 'select * from [jeff2$]')
end
so it seems the error may not relate to the real file, since at the compile stage, it should not check the real file?
On my live db, after I restart the SQL service, the statement will work, after a while, one or several days, I get the same error again. I can not restart my live db quite often for sure, so now I have another backup db server, I need run the statement on the backup server and then read the data from there.
I have the same problem at two places, both use SQL 2005.
So far there are three questions
1, why it works after restart, but only last for a while? something about memory? since the backup db seldom need restart and work fine after many days.
2, why it gives error in compile stage?
3, why two dbs in different Enviroment has the same problem
The most answer I have gathered so far is permission issue, true I got similar error if the import file is located in a place which SQL has no right to access. But in this case, it should not be.
Hi I am a bit new to SQL Server so please help me I am trying to run a simple task at a customer but it doesn't work. bcp isn't recognized.

I am using MS SQL Server 2000. I am reading right off of microsofts web site under Trasact-SQL Reference, on how to use the MIN function. Yet when I try to use it, I get the error:
'min' is not a recognized function name
Here is the sql statement copied right out of Query Analyzer:
select name, count(name), min( case when not(var6 = '') then 7 else case when not(var5 ='') then 6 else case when not(var4 ='') then 5 else case when not(var3 ='') then 4 else case when not(var2 ='') then 3 else case when not(var1 ='') then 2 else 1 end end end end end end as cols ) from syitabs where dupef=0 group by name
for some reason when i use this field (incidentid.value) there is no hyperlink generated, however when i change the value to another field, the hyperlink works, what shall i be looking for, incident value is a set of number with dashes!
Just installed SQL Server 2005 Express along with the Management Studio. The Management Studio, at least what I've seen so far, seems to work fine. But when I type "sqlcmd" at the command prompt, I get "sqlcmd is not a recognized internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What gives???
