I'm hoping someone here will be able to guide me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out a way of looping through table columns or a flat file in which there will be three parameters every time. With these parameters I am then wanting to run a report using two of these parameters to feed into the report and then email this out to an email address which would be my third parameter. Does anyone here have any idea how I would go about doing this?
I am trying to find a way of creating my Repoting Services reports of automatically refreshing once our ETL load has completd. I have created a process that creates a file is a particular directory once the data has completed loading however I am unsure how to make the report look for this file and then refresh the report.
Hi everyone I have a database that I am creating for another department. He emails applications to potential vendors. And I was wanting sql to do this for him. I was reading about xtended procedures XP_Sendmail, but this is the first time I have created an extended stored procedure. I need for it to email an attachment (the report)
Can reports be set up to run and print automatically to specific printers on a nightly basis. What I'm trying to accomplish is, I have 6 users who need to see specific transaction reports for thier department each day. Of course I don't want them to see the other departments reports.. What options do I have....
Hi, I am new to SQL Reporting Services and was wondering how to set it up so that the reports are automatically e-mailed to recipients if that is possible. Thanks, MKB
I have 2 identical Analytics cubes, Cube 1 & 2, my reports point to Cube 1, when Cube 2 is refreshed the reports data source is manually repointed to the updated Cube 2. The following day the Cube 1 is refreshed and again the reports data source is edited and repointed back to Cube 1.
This ensures that if a cube build failes the reports aren't down.
To modify the data source I connect to Reporting Services using SSMS go to the Data source folder and manually edit the Data source.
I have looked through the Reporting database in SQL Server but didn't see anything that resembled the connection string for me to edit.
Are the connection strings for the Data sources stored in the Reporting Database ? Where can I find them?
Here is a Microsoft document that gave me the idea. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/bestpractice/scoqryas.mspx
It talks about changing the connections strings in the Web UI? But doesn't tell you how or point to any docs that do.
Is there a way to automate this and is anyone else running a similar setup.
Is it possible to have a report automatically export the results to Excel, when the report is generated? ...rather than having to select the format and click Export? .Pl let me know-Thanks.
I have a simple query (a select statement which retrieves results from 2 tables via join). I run this query every week and just copy the results from Management Studio (Ctrl-A) and then open Microsoft Excel and just paste it there. Is there a way I can automatically run this every week and generate the Excel from the results? If so what steps I have to do? I use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I need to be able to click a hyperlink in one report to open a linked report, but without automatically running the linked report.
Scenario.
I have a report showing customer details and on this page there is a link to a price enquiry report. This price enquiry report has two parameters: customer code and product code.
When I click the price enquiry hyperlink in the customer details report I can only attach a value to the customer code parameter. The product code parameter is not known at this stage and would have to be provided by the user after the price enquiry report is opened (but not run). The customer code parameter should already be filled (carried in the link).
When I click the link at the moment I get the error "The 'product' parameter is missing a value".
I have a report that gets two parameters of type date. These parameters have default values. When I press preview the report runs automatically. I want to prevent the report from running automatically, and let it run only when I press the button "view report".
I have an SSIS which goes to a web hosting site and gets the store xml file, saves the file on my computer. Then I want to run a T-SQL script but if fails because the files contains DOCTYPE StoreExport SYSTEM http://store.yahoo.com/doc/dtd/StoreExport.dtd>
I want to manully remove then line before running the T-SQL script. Here is the beginning of the script:
DECLARE @x XML
SELECT @x =cast(bulkcolumn as XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:databasexmldtdyahoostore.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x
I thought the cast statement would get rid of the line, but it does not.
I have a ssis package that has multiple large lookups without memory restriction. When running the package manually from SSMS on the same server it runs on when running automatically under the job agent, the package errors out when the server memory gets depleted by the loading of the large lookup reference data. One of the messages I get is "An out-of-memory condition prevented the creation of the buffer object. "
Anyway, the package runs successfully when it runs automatically under the job agent.
I was curious as to why the above happens. Is that a bug or is the run time behavior different under these 2 environments by design.
I have been tapped to help with fixing a reporting tool. We have a Sql Server database/crystal reports(10) setup. I havent had the chance to look at the tables in the DB yet, but I was told that aggregate tables were used. In my past experience with crystal reports, we used database views to feed crystal reports (in Oracle). I was thinking that I could somehow use views instead of tables and then try to re-index the base tables and compile satitics (if theres such a thing with Sql Server). I was also going to look into bottlenecking and locking (table locking as opposed to row or page locking for the lookup tables...to reduce overhead on the main tables) but, I'm not sure if it'll make a difference since this is just a demo server with no major traffic hitting it yet.
The question is, does anyone have any experience with crystal reports running slow with Sql Server, what should I look out for??
I have a new setup of report server. I have deployed three reports that I have also scheduled to run and save as an Excel spreadsheet to a network locations. The reports do not run and I get the error message below. Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone run into this issue before

I have a report that runs perfectly well when scheduled, but when run on demand it seems to put a ridiculous load on the target database, sometimes to the point of virtually halting the server. Is there any reason it should behave differently when run on demand than when it's scheduled? Thanks.
I want to run the Reports on a system that has Oracle Database but reporting Services are not installed there. Only Application exe file will be there designed in .NET Windows Forms.
I'm trying to do running total of the calculated field. Here is the detail of my RDL:
In a table, I have "textbox34" with the formula =count(Fields!ADF_NO.Value) in it and "textbox30" with the formula =first(Fields!TOTSTKS2.Value, "ProdServSales") - reportitems!TOTSTKS.value in it. I have divided "textbox 34" with "textbox30", and placed the results in "textbox36". Now, I want to do a cummulative total (Running total) of "textbox36", using the formula =runningvalue(reportitems!textbox36.Value, sum, nothing) in "textbox14". Its giving me an error saying:
"[rsAggregateReportItemInBody] The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox14' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers."
I have created some reports using Report Builder however they autorun with default values when selected in report manager, cant think many people would want this to happen. Is there a way of getting rid of the default values in RB or preventing auto execute in RM?
I would like to set up a job to send mail out to clients on a semi-regular basis. Is there a way to mail directly from MS SQL.
or some application which I can set to interface with MS SQL and send these mails out.
I'm currently using asp.net, however, doing it through the web is very time consuming, I would much rather use some application to generate the mails on the server as it currently takes close to 20 min to send through the web interface (and that's only to 900 members, we are looking at having at least 2000 members in a few weeks). What am I looking for is something I can call perhaps with transact sql so I can run it through an ms sql server job, however any solution you have would be fantastic.
If you don't have specific details, that's fine, I'm not even sure what apps etc to look into, even a name of some technology to use (or does MS SQL have a way of doing all of this itself?)
I am running SQL Server Enterprise Manager and i would like to have a query run everynite and send the results returned by the query off to an email address....
I have a DTS package that runs 4x a day and generates an excel spreadsheet, renames that spreadsheet with a datetime stamp and then places it into a folder on our network. I have been asked to email that spreadsheet to someone everytime the package runs.
My question is what would be the best way to handle this and how do I ensure that whatever process I define grabs the correct file? The folder that the Excel file is being placed into has multiple files in it. Is there a way to tell SQL Server which file to grab and email?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I'm sort of new to SSIS so I apologize if this is a trivial question:
I setup a package and want it to email me if there is any errors. Right now I got it working to send me a pre-written message about the failure, but I want to load the full task failure message into variable and email it on the email body.
But so far I have not found a way to save the error messages into variables so I can email them. Anyone can help with that one?
