Hi. We've got hundreds of Cognos reports and catalogs and we'd like to convert them to SSRS reports and models. Is there a tool to do this? We're converting our reporting to SSRS and need help. Thanks.

re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report.
I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.
Any help is appreciated

Hi all,
I downloaded the StudentActivities sample app from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345152.aspx
When I want to go through this tutorial I encounter the following problem:
Database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf' cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (587) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database.Could not open new database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 950)
So attaching the DB seems to doesn't work. The reason for this is probably that this sample app src was written in an older version of Visual WebDeveloper Express 2005 +SQL Server Express 2005.
Therefore I would like if someone can provide me with the sql src of this StudentActivities database. Then I can create the database myself from this. Or is there some tool which canconvert a mdf to sql?
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Thanks,

Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
Thanks!

Dear profs..
I am a system analyst and trying to do a report tools evaluation (crystal report, SSRS) to decide which report tools are more convenience easy to use.
But i don't have much knowledge about SSRS, so really appreciate for those who provides there professional advise..
Q1) How to install this report tool? Is it come with the SQL Server installation?
Q2) I try to install the SQL Server Express 2005, but cannot work properly as connection to server is failed. (Should i install the full sql server? )
Q3) Any useful information or links?
Thanks very much in advance!
Best Regards and Wishes,

Hello all ...
I want to know which would be the best for reporting in either of the above two. I am working on with SSRS but don't have any idea about crystal reports. So you all please suggest the best one would be for me espcially for web based reporting.

Hi Guys,
I am creating SSRS report using Oracle DB. When i run this query in TOAD, it's giving output but when i run this in SSRS to create new dataset then it is giving me ORA -01008:not all variables bound(Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle).
This is the query iam running.
SELECT ts.transaction_status_desc, COUNT (ut.transaction_id) AS transcount
FROM dsc_transaction_status_vl ts,
dsc_user_transaction ut,
billing_markets bm,
retail_location rl,
cash_register cr
WHERE ts.transaction_status = ut.transaction_status
AND ut.cr_number = cr.cr_number
AND cr.rl_number = rl.rl_number
AND ut.RL_NUMBER = rl.RL_NUMBER
AND rl.bm_code = bm.bm_code
AND (ut.creation_date BETWEEN tartDate AND :EndDate)
AND bm.bm_name IN
(CASE (:Market)
WHEN 'OKC' THEN ('OKLAHOMA CITY' || 'TULSA')
WHEN 'NFL' THEN ( 'DAYTONA'|| 'JACKSONVILL' || 'MELBOURNE'|| 'NORTH FLORIDA'|| 'ORLANDO' || 'WEST FLORIDA' )
WHEN 'LA' THEN ('PAC Los Angeles')
WHEN 'CAR' THEN ('Carolinas')
END
)
I am passing 3 parameters: StartDate, EndDate and Market.
we have 3 markets and each market includes some cities. Cities are in BM_NAME column.
My Question is that
1) How to pass parameters for Oracle using SSRS
2) How to resolve this error: ORA -01008:not all variables bound(Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle)
3)How can i write Stored Procedure for this query & How to execute SP in SSRS.
Please reply me. Thanks in advance.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have a project that is already in MS Access that has many reports and I must develop the same project in .NET with SSRS for the reports. By seeing the same scenario in these forums I imported by right clicking on the project name, all the reports from Access have been imported..
My question is, that will the imported reports from MS ACCESS will be the same as that of the reports we will generate in SSRS? and can I use them as final reports. And call these reports in my .Net code..Is there any article regarding this please provide so that I can read and learn how to use that.. And for each .rdl files the data set si coming as dataset1...can we change the dataset name?..Please repond..ASAP.
Thanks

A question for everyone:
With the introduction of SQL 2005, we now have to use ANSI-92 T-SQL Syntax and I was wondering if anyone had written a tool to convert queries from old ANSI SQL to the new syntax.
We have some code that has to change for the outer joins, but we also have a lot of code that should change for the inner joins. It doesn't seem that difficult to write something that parses an old piece of code and at least suggests a new version. Especially if the conversion code wasn't SQL code.
Thanks, in advance,
Brian

Hi Folks,

We have 7 SSRS reports subscription which execute every night at various time intervals.
Some times, due to database unavailability subscriptions can not access the source database, so these subscriptions continuously try to connect the database. (Even after setting connection time out.)
When the database is up again, all these subscriptions create bottleneck for the database and the whole system crashes.
So we want to stop subscriptions after some time interval (lets say 2 hours after it starts),
After that time interval what ever may be the status of the subscription (processing, done or fail) it should stop.
Please let me know the solution, Thanks in advance.
I have created some reports in BIDS and saved them to a folder in my m/c (without deploying them) . i want to deploy that to the report server through C# code.
i can deploy that onto any Report Server. For that I will have to change the datasource connection string.
Is there a way to achieve this. Please let me know if it is there.

I came across a website that claimed "There are approximately 116 functions in Crystal Reports that do not have a direct equivalent in VB.NET or Reporting Services (SSRS)." Does anyone know what these functions are?

Hi,
I need to move few folders from our DEV SSRS 2005 environment to another
server. Folders will be moved to new parent folders.
Is there any tool that I can use fot this purpose?
I used RSScripter from SQLdbatips.com. Although the tool works great but it
can't script multiple folder reports. I have to script one by one and it is
a big problem.
Thanks

Hi Experts,
I'm using SSR5 2005. I have a set of Cubes. Any idea as how to created customized reports using SSRS. The end user should be able to create reports by himself. Please help or send me some links where I can get help in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,

1) Crystal Reports provides extensive parameter support. The types of parameters supported are: single value, multi-value, and range value (e.g. Start date to End date), or a combination of all three.
2) SSRS parameters only support entry of a single value. It doesn't support multi-value parameters or range parameters. For example, the user can't be presented with a list of Employees and select more than one for reporting on. Doing so requires writing custom code and writing more complex SQL queries
