Can I Write SSRS 2008 Reports To Run On SQL 2005 SSRS?
Sep 12, 2007
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?
I have a SSISpackage which have 10 execute sql tasks, which loads data into the 10 tabales. Using these 10 tables, I load data into 2 tables. These 2 tables are using to generate reports using SSRS. So we have creatad SSRS package which will generate report. So here what we are doing is we are loading data into those (10+2) tables. then running that report manually and sending that created excel report manully. Can we achieve this using SSIS only, so once data loaded into those 2 reporting table it will start generating reports. How do we achieve using SSRS?
Is there a known problem with BIS Deploy not clearing cache. I repeatly (but not always) have an issue where I will do a BIS Deploy of an RDL but when I run it, the old report runs. I can't clear this out until I explicitly log into the Report Manager and explicitly delete the RDL and re-deploy from the BIS.
Is there a workaround, fix, process change, configuration change I can do to keep this from happening?
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.
In SSRS 2005, Is it possible to have a link in one report (i.e. report A) to be directed to report B. Can you show me guidance on where to start please?
I had a report (.rdl) using sql reporting services in sql server 2005, where it was running quite good. I have just installed sql server 2005 sp2. After that, when I run the report through report viewer, the result of the report contains the first record of the dataset keep on repeating for all other records. If I run the dataset the results are correct,but if I preview it, then the first record alone repeating for all other records.
I feel that sp2 might cause this rendering problem. Any suggestion please?
We recently did an "in place" upgrade of SQL Server and SSRS 2000 to 2005.
After the upgrade we cannot view the exisiting reports. (although we can publish new reports using the VS2005 Designer and they show up just fine.)
We have SP2 installed for SSRS2005 and all SPs for SQL are up to date.
When we navigate to an existing report via the reporting services website, the report acts like it is trying to run and then returns and error message:
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
When we look at the logs we see that the report server cannot initialize the stream from the Catalog table.

I have visual studio 2008 on my vista ultimate machine. I also have sql express edition, however I have no installed it I was thinking of installing sql standard edition because I really am interested in development of ssrs, crystal reports in a commercial development. Is it best to have both sql express and the standard edition I am excited about sql 2008. What is the best configuaration for an aspiring small comercial developer like myself. I am looking for input. Thanks
When trying to open the reports server \servername eports we are getting an error page titled "Server Error in '/Reports' Application." The server has been restarted, and as this is a new deployment, there has been very little access for individuals to make changes.
I have a solution that contains SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 project. I upgraded the solution to VS 2008. The report project shows that it is not loaded. Trying to load it gives me the error - "cannot be opened because its project type (.rptproj) is not supported by this version of visual studio". Okay, so I do I convert it?!
Hello Friends, I have created few reports in SSRS 2005 on Windows 2003 Standard. Previouly I was not able to view reports from my .ASPX page which contained a ReportViewer, after going throuhg some other threads I was able to create a snap-shot for my reports . But still I'm not able to view reports, each time I try to view the page I get a message box with a error as : "Unable to locate control SSRS 2005: oReportCell" the same error is displayed when i try to access my reports from "http://localhost/reports.....". But the funny thing is I'm able to view the reports when I use the following URL: "http://localhost/reportserver/pages/reportviewer.aspx?/<report>". I have applied all the Hotfixes & installed the latest Service packs. Any suggestions ???????
Does anyone know of a link or list that has all the parameters for the "rs:" section of the URL access parameter, except for the ones in the Microsoft books?
We're migrating from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008. We use itextsharp (a pdf processing library) to merge different PDF outputs into one large PDF file. This was working brilliantly in SSRS 2005, but in SSRS 2008, itextsharp *can* open and parse the PDF, but itext sees the "content" section of the PDF pages as blank. So, the resulting composite PDF ends up being a series of blank pages. Acrobat 9 and a couple other PDF tools (tested linux Evince and win GIMP) seem to be able to open the SSRS 2008-generated PDF fine, but the java-version of itext, and the .net version of itext (itextsharp) see nothing but blanks.So, I realize this points to a problem with itext, but I'm curious if merging PDFS outputed from SSRS 2008, and what PDF tools/libraries they are using.
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.

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?
"Failure writing file <name here> - Test.mhtml : The network path was not found."
I have a report subscription. Delivery Options Credentials use NT account, and 'Path' is defined. We had NT security guys verify account has FULL rights to folders. We have even temp applied EVERYONE to have FULL. I cannot find any details on the failure in any RS logs, even after turning on 'remote errors' on server.
I suspect SSRS is using its SERVICE Account to connect to path, but again we have temp applied EVERYONE to have FULL rights and still get failure.
Any suggestions on where to look next would be apprciated.
I tried modifying it and playing around with the TranslateTranform function but I'm really confused on how it works. I can get the first letter in my text to be upside down but the rest is not showing up. It's like it's being cut off or something. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
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.
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.
I am not able to access registery key in report when report is deployed on reporting server. But when that report (.rdl) is opened in a Business Intelligence project it is able to access registry key. So, my question is what need to be done to get value of registery key in reports deployed on reporting server.
I have SSRS and Asp.net2.0. i have been asked to create the dashboard reports for our organization. please give me some tips, how to develop the dashboard reports using this technology?
Is there anyother resources avilable to develop this dashboard reports? thanks in advance..
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?
