Automating Data Extension Deployment
Jan 6, 2006
Hi,
I have written a Data Processing extension for my application and can deploy it on my development machine no problems. My question is: what is the "correct" way of deploying an extension to an end user's machine? Do I have to write a special program to find and modify the Reporting Server config files and copy the extension over. Surely many developers have the same need so there must be a generic solution to this problem, however, I haven't managed to find one.
I first came across this issue in SQL2000 and I thought/hoped it would be rectified with SQL2005 but it appears not to be (unless I'm missing something).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hi:
I am trying to utilize DTUtil command to automate deployment of SSIS Package from the Build Server to Dev Server. I am getting an invalid option error, when I try to run the following command:
dtutil /FILE C:Program FilesABCABC ABC CADETL PackagesLoad_Staging_FromWCF.dtsx /MOVE FILE;\serverAC$Program FilesABCABC ABC CADETL PackagesLoad_Staging_FromWCF.dtsx /QUIET
Currently I have a .CMD file, in which I have the above command, and I am trying to run the CMD file and it returns an error. Can someone help me the DTUtil switches. My goal is to move a DTSX file from Server A(Build Server) to Server B(Dev Server). Also is there a switch to specify the server name, if UNC path is not supported. Also I am using File System Deployment, and running the file as an Administrator. I have admin privs on both Build and Dev Server. Thanks and I appreciate some help on this.

Hey, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on an issue. I've got the authentication portion of a custom security extension working properly (while authorization is just sort of giving everyone a pass) and all of my Googling efforts seem to be bearing little fruit. Now that authentication is in place, whenever I try to deploy a report from Visual Studio, it comes up with an error.
The error is that it is getting the authentication html login page set in web.config (as I expected), while it was looking for an xml page. I'm a bit new to this side of things so I'm not really even sure where I should be looking to see what kind of xml page it wants and such.
I don't need anyone to bother explaining the entire thing to me as I should be able to figure it out once I can get a start, but as I said I just need a kick in the right direction because my Google-fu has failed

question... i heard a bit about Control Macro Generator but have not found much reading material on it. here at our company we have employees fill out a weekely timesheet and typically have clerks enter the information into the TM.PTA.00 (Project Timesheet with Rate/Amount Entry) and submit it that way. say we have this timesheet in a nice little excel sheet with columns that match the input boxes on the form, how can we get it to automatically input the data instead of having a person sit there and type it all in?

Hi,
I am able to do these actions interactively from SQL 2005 (not developers nor enterprise edition, just using SQL 2005 Mgmt Studio) and want to "script/batch" them so I can have them automatically run at a pre selected time.
First: I am able to delete the table by performing a right click on the table, then click Delete from Mgmt Studio SQL 2005. I verify the table is completely gone with a refresh. (I pulled the code that did this ..... DROP TABLE etc. to Notepad)
2nd: I am able to import the table (again from Mgmt Studio SQL 2005) and have saved this action as a SSIS. Execute the script and "waLa" I have all 17K rows of data. I pulled this create table code into notepad also.
Now I put the code of both of the above actions together (drop table and create table) into one SQL query and execute it. This does not give me the same results of above, instead my table is blank now.
Maybe there is a better way. The business problem I am attempting to solve: I am refreshing the data in a as/400 table weekly. I want that refreshed data to be available in the SQL2005 database without my having to press buttons first thing Monday morning. Can any one help? Thanks in advance.
Below is the Code:

I have a sql query that I would like to run every morning and output into a csv file.Unfortunately, I can't seem to find simple instructions on how to use SQL Server Agent to run that.

We have the following scenario: We receive CSV files every month for which SSIS packages were built to process the data. The following problems occur from time to time:
1. The structure of the CSV file changed (e.g. column added or removed)
2. There were no footers in the data, but now footers started to appear
3. Date format changed (e.g. used to be mm/dd/yyyy, but became mm.dd.yyyy)
4. Number format changed (e.g. from 2000 to 2,000)
Currently we have person who manually opens each file, and using our "validation document" validates to ensure none of these or similar problems occur. We would like to move away from this manual process if possible. I understand that items 3. and 4. could be caught by loading data into a staging table with VARCHAR data types, and performing validation before moving it any further.
Item 2 is a bit questionable (meaning depending on the footer size SSIS load could fail or not).
Item 1, however, is a sure fail of the SSIS package that directly loads the data into a table.
Thus I feel the two possible options are:
1. Create a custom script that will run through the file, row by row, apply all the necessary validations and report an error or continue if all checks out
2. Use some 3rd party tool to validate the files (semi-manually) before kicking off the SSIS processing.

Hi, hope someone can help or point me down the right track.
I have to load 50+ tables (all have different file layouts) using a data reader (The source only allows an OBDC connection) into a SQL Server 2005 databases, rather than create 50+ ETL packages that will be identical in process terms is it possible to create a single package that will dynamically re-map the source destination joins. I know I can set the Source and Destination using expressions however how do I ensure that the mappings are updated and for the errors can I automate so that they re-direct? Is this possible using a script task? Or by some other means?
Many thanks for any help

Hello,
I will be getting data in either Excel or Access form on a daily basis. I would like to automate the process of converting this (excel or access) data to a table in an existing SQL database. Since this conversion needs to performed on a daily basis, note that I need to update the table that contains data from the day before.
Is it possible to do this and if it is possible, can someone tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance,

I would like to know recommendations on automate the following:
1. I want to know how to take data from various sql server 2000 data queries and load the data onto excel spreadsheets in an automated method. Some of the data loaded into the excel spreadsheets load detail data and some load data into pivot tables.
Is there any way that the data can be taken from sql server to the excel spreadsheets using odbc connections?
2. Some of the data taken from sql server 2000 database is loaded into pdf files. Is there any way this process can be automated?
Thanks!

I recently installed the Teradata .NET data provider and I am trying to use named parameters and multi-value parameters in my SQL. I am finding information on this topic hard to come by.
In order to get parameters to work do I need to write my own Teradata data extension from scratch, expand an existing data extension to work with Teradata, or can I simple edit my .config files to point to a generic extension wrapper already existing?
Thanks!

Hi all,
My query should be pretty simple to answer by the gurus. I have SQL Server Express Advance series installed at my system along with VS 2005. I tried the reporting services (remote mode) to display a report in the report viewer on my aspx page. The report simply uses an SQL query to get the result. Everything works fine and dandy!
However if i want to get data from my own data set, i used a webservice and ussed the XML data source option in the report to traverse through the XML. In the preview mode of the RDL everything works fine however when i deploy or rather run it using report viewer on my webpage, it gives an error that 'XML' has not been registered as an extension etc.
I looked in the rsserver config file, it IS configured. The only answer i have is that the EXPRESS version of SQL only supports the regular SQL data sources. I do not understand if that was the case, why does the preview mode work fine??
If i am correct then for the next release the ms developers should disable that or rather give a more meaning full error. I spent an entire day fideling around just to find out that it isnt supported with debates all over the place as to why in the world does it work in the preview mode?
Anyhoo, to get around that issue, i am wondering if the Custom Data Extension would work on the SQL Express or not? I am assuming it wouldnt. Please clearify this. Ideally all i want is to access my own data set in the report, no SQL queries or whatever, CDE seems the way forward but does SQL Express allow it?
Many thanks guyz.
Regards
Zeeshan
(btw, its only been two days since i started working with reporting services, so be gentle :-D )

hello,
I have written a Custom Data Processing Extension for SSRS 2005.
The Report Server is in SharePoint integrated mode, this works perfect except for the extension.
When I want to set a DataSource in SharePoint (WSS 3.0), the extension is not in the ComboBox.
This works well on another server with the same extension.
The DLL file of that extension is copied in the reportserver bin folder.
I have added the references in the rsreportserver.config and rssrvpolicy.config (see below).
Code Snippetrsreportserver.config
<Data>
<Extension Name="SPSLISTS" Type="ICom.ReportingServices.SharepointListsExtension.Connection,
ICom.ReportingServices.SharepointListsExtension" />
<Data>
Code Snippet
rssrvpolicy.config
This code is located inside the CodeGroup with Name="SharePoint_Server_Strong_Name".
<CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Name="SPSLISTS_CodeGroup"
Description="Code group for my SPS LISTS data processing extension">
<IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServerinICom.ReportingServices.SharepointListsExtension.dll"
/>
</CodeGroup>
I already tried re-installing Reporting Services and the add-in for SharePoint but the problem remains.
Does anyone has an idea of what's wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hello,
I'm writing a Data Processing Extension for SSRS 2005 that allows you to use a WSS 3.0 List as a dataset.
This works for one list per dataset. Now I am trying to extend the extension to allow multiple lists in a dataset because I want to join lists on a common field (INNER JOIN). The problem is that I can only return one DataTable to the Report Server with the DataReader. Does anyone know if it is possible to return multiple DataTables (without the join)?
I'm a student, working on this project. I know Visual Basic.net but only started last month with Data.
Thanks in advance

I have been getting to grips with writing a custom data processing extension for using a supplied dataset. I have got it working OK so far, but I don't see how to make use of relational data. There's plenty of code for walking through the fields, but nothing to walk through the tables. Since this clearly has to be possible can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

Target: RS2000, Oracle-DB
I build a CDE on the base of the FSi-Example.
Deploying worked fine
here is the problem:
I build a new shared data source, but can't edit the connection string. the button disables itself. why?
Therefore I copied the string from an existing datasource.
I supplied the auth-data and all seemed to be fine.
when i want to build a dataset with this datasource, I get something like this:
"no connection to database possible
check connection string and test connection. "
But this is not possible because of the disabled edit button.
Can anyone help please? What's wrong?
dev-pc and server are not the same machine.

Hello,
I try to add an data extension who take the information to connect to the database in a config file. But It's could not retreive the values corresponding to the key.
I'm using the class ConfigurationManager from the namespace System.Configuration.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["QueryModel"]
Without the config file, the extension is working well.... I got the impression that reporting service and Visual Studio BI don't find the config file.
If someone can help me or have some advices. I will be pleased

I am running SQL Express Advanced addition on an XP pro box. The install went cleanly, and I have no problems creating and publishing reports that use a SQL server data source, however when I try and publish a report that uses an oracle data source I get the following error.
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'ORACLE' that is not registered for this report server.
The report works fine withing the preview pain of Visual Studio, and it publishes fine within SQL 2005 standard edition.
Can someone please tell me how to register the data extension for ORACLE in SQL Express.
Thanks for your help

I need help about this , What i've done so far is a data processing extension that gets its data from a WS , I use it as a datasource for a report , That report will be displayed withing an ASPX page containing a reportviewer control that displays that report , The problem is catching errors that occurs withing the data processing extension .. ,
When i debugged the extension i saw that after throwing an exception the code ends up inside the "cancel()" event inside the IDBcommand implementation...
In all examples for a data processing extension i could find online they always have a comment saying the cancel is not implemented and throw a NewUnsupportedExtension()..
What happens is i get some uninformative , non-userfriendly error from the reporting services ,
something like "an error occurred during the report processing(rssomehing)"
How should i go about handling those exception that happened inside the data processing extension?
I've tried catching the error inside the event of the reportviewercontrol - reporterror but it seems that event don't fire when those errors are generated..
Any help on how to approach this would be highly welcome

I have created a custom data extension.
I am using this custom data extension from BI Studio.
Que1: I want to create report parameters from BI studio and capture them in my Data Extension.
Que2: Every report parameter has so many properties, like hidden, internal, default value etc, how do capture that information in my data extension, the parameters only give me name and value.
Que3: I know I can capture command Text. So My command can be Select * From tablename where fieldname= @myFieldname. Once I get this commandText in my data extension, How do extract parameters of the command?
Que4: If I have any custom attributes in my RDL file, Can I capture them in my Data Extension ?
Any help is appreciated...

I've created a custom Data Processing Extension and I've implemented the IDBCommandAnalysis interface so that my reports can enter parameters and pass them to my Data Processing Extension.
My question is, how do I extract the value from the Parameters coming from the report? Where do the parameters get passed off from the report? I can query the Parameters collection and my report gets prompted in Preview mode to enter something for the parameter but I can't find the spot where it gets passed for processing.

I am attempting to deploy a sample report (SQL 2005 Workgroup w/SP2) and I am receiving the subject error message when I attempt to view the report on the web server. We are using SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition connecting to an Oracle database.
Is this a limitiation of this version? In report designer, I am able to select Oracle as a connection type. If I try to create a data source at the server, "Microsoft SQL Server" is the only option available. If I look at the ReportServer config file, I see many other data connection types available. Did I miss a step, or is this a Workgroup Edition limitation (it's not documented as a limitation that I am able to find)?
