My company sends reports on a daily basis to our customers. Now I want to save all the sent reports on disc with the date in the filename. I have set up a subscription which daily saves the files where I want them. However, I haven't found a way to add the date easily. I already have a parameter when creating the report, it is called Date. Does anybody know if I can use a parameter or something else?
Thank's
I have defined a monthly substription for a series of reports. I would like to be able to pass a paremter used in generating the report to the file name define in the subscription.
I can do it if I used system names such as @datetime, but I want to be able to use a parameter unique to the report.
For example if the parameter for the report was CARS and I was quesrying Toyotas how can I get toyoats to show up in the file name?
Any suggestions?
Hi there,
I have been using reporting service to generate my report and sending email with attachment report via subscription everyday. It is work well and no error.
My attachment file name is as same as reportname project. But customers asked me to add current date into an attachment filename which will help them to identify the report. I try to check in rsreportserver.config to change it but have no idea.
My reportname project is daily_file.rdl and my attachment filename in email is daily_file.csv. I'd like to change my attachment filename as day_month_year_file.csv.
Is there anyone know how to change an attachment filename to be not the same as reportname in reporting service 2005

Hello,
I have a question regarding the report file which is included in an email, when a subscription is created:
Is it possible to programmatically add something to the name of the created file of the subscription? I want to have one parameter of the report, which is a date, added at the end of the filename to let the clients distinguish between different report files.
Thank you in advance.

Hi all,
I've developed a data driven subscription report. I have a paramete (named "Data") that is a result of my query to the current date. It is working fine.
Now I would like to make one change: In the step4 of the creation of the data-driven report we have the option to give a name to the filename.The name that I gave was TestFile. In this option i'm also able to select the parameter instead of giving the name to the filename. Can I make something like TestFile_ & @Data? Wich would result in TestFile_01-02-2007? Or the only way is to make, in the query of the paramenter another field with this result?
Thanks in advance.

What is the syntax for adding a column where you are adding a year to a date in a date format? For example adding a column displaying a year after the participation date in date format?

Hye all,
I need help on this.
Let say my source file in excel format. Currently i'm using foreach loop to execute those source files. The problem is that , i want to retrieve a date from the source(filename) itself. i've tried using derived column. but it doesnt work.
eg: Source file name Email_Jan_05.xls, i want to grab the string JAN and 05 which later i'm going to put it in my database.
any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Here's what I want:
I have a DTSX package run as a SQL Server agent job, that each time it runs I want it to create a new log file with the date & time in the filename.
e.g. MyJobLog.20080311_103613.txt
I have implemented this using the SSIS log provider for Text Files, and defining the Connection String as an expression as follows:-
Code Snippet"MyJobLog." + (DT_STR,4,1252)YEAR( DATEADD( "dd", -1, getdate() )) +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ), 2) +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ), 2)+ "_" +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) datepart("hh", GETDATE() ) , 2)+RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) datepart("mi", GETDATE() ) , 2)+RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) datepart("ss", GETDATE() ) , 2)+".txt"
Here's the problem:-
When the job runs, each time it tries to write to the log file it re-evaluates the filename, and as the seconds pass by the name changes! So instead of one file I end up with several:-
e.g.
MyJobLog.20080311_103613.txt
MyJobLog.20080311_103614.txt
MyJobLog.20080311_103615.txt
So the one execution of the job is now divided across three files! This is not what want!
Here's one way I fixed it:-
One of my Jobs is run from an MS-DOS batch file, so I was able to pass the constructed date/time sting into the DTSX file as a parameter. This works perfectly.
Here's my problem:-
Three more of my jobs are run as scheduled job from SQL Server Agent, so I can't pass in the date/time as a parameter each time (unless you know otherwise). And the clients' security policy won't allow the job to call an MS-DOS batch file which runs the DTSX package.
Or is there really some other way to stop the Log filename from re-evaluating on every write?
I am trying to add a data driven subscription to my report. When I get to the screen to enter the Delivery Query, I enter the stored procedure (GetStatusReportData) in the query box. When i try to validate, I get a "Query is not valid" error. If I replace the stored procedure name with a generic query (select * from jobs), it works fine.
Is there some sort of syntax I need to use to enter a stored procedure here? I have used "exec GetStatusReportData" and that did not work either.
Thanks,
Stuart Fox
Hi all,
I've been looking for the right stored procedure to create a push subscription for publication but i haven't had much luck so far. So I was wondering if you guys know which SP is appropriate, that'd be super great!! thanks guys!
note. the sp should run on the subscriber database.
thanks again

Dear Anyone,
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am very new to SSIS. I need a package to iterate through files in folders and subfolders, evaluate the date of the file and delete them if they are over 90 days. I am using the following as a guide. The reason I am not using a maintenance plan for this is that I did not see a way to use a built in maintenance plan task to copy files. I already built a package that copies files to the destination. Now I need to delete files in the destination that are over 90 days old.
[URL] ...
I have a File System Task to delete files. I have a Script Task with a precedence constraint where I need to build an expression on the constraint between the Script Task and the File System Task for the delete.
I have database backups in the format of SQLInstanceName_DatabaseName_BackupType_YYYYMMDD_XXXXXXX.bak.
I created a variable to store the filename and I need an expression that will convert a file name like :
MySQLInstance_MyDB_DIFF_20150803_1700000.bak into 20150803, compare it to getdate -90 days.
I created another variable for the Max File Age. I built the below but when I click on Evaluate Expression I get an error stating, "The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element."
DATEDIFF("dd",(DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(RIGHT( @[User::strFileName], 20 ),1,8), GETDATE()) > @[User::intFileMaxAge]
I am creating a subscription to deliver reports via email on SSRS. One of the problems I am having is I can't add groups to the To: or Cc: fields for report distribution. I am able to add individual user email which works fine but it will be a lot of emails to add if I have to go that route. So how do you add groups to report subscriptions?

Is there a way of passing a default parameter value into the subject title on a report subscription?

Hi Champs,
Scenario Configuration : VB.net 2005 Code, WebService for Executing SSIS on Server, SSIS deployed on the Database Server
Problem Description : We are developing windows applicaiton in which we call webservice which was deployed on the same server where SSIS packages are deployed.
Now from Code we are passing FilePath name in variable and execute the Package. But the SSis result says that
The file name "\computernamefol1fol2fol3fol4abc.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
More Information:
1. Full Permission are given on this network folder.
2. Package executes successfully from SSIS development solution (BIS solution)
3. Deployed packed executes successfully from the Database Server.
4. From Development pc packege executes successfully.
5. Other packages deployed on the same server executed suucessfully with same configuration and scenario.
Only this package is not executing.
-- the only differece with this package with other is -
using ".txt" extension in Flat file connection and using VB Script task
Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...

I created a report based on an OLAP cube in the report designer using SSRS 2005. One of the dimension in the cube contains of the name and email address. I want to set up the subscription to this report so that it will send out the report to the subsciber's email address in a pre-set schedule. How do I assign the "Name", "Email" and "Parameter" in the subscription page so that it will loop through each name to send out the report rather than to set up multiple subscriptions if there are 500 names in the dimension. Also the information contains in the report is strictly to that subscriber only i.e. "Name" of the subscriber will be used as a parameter in the subscription to the report. Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am curious if you can create a subscription for a report that resides on reports manager with a dynamic date? We have a couple of reports on reports manager that require a date value and I tried to use getdate() for the value but it will not except it. Is there a way to have a subscription do something like this so the end user doesn't have to change the date parameter each time? Thanks in advance.
