Hi All
I have created reports in 'Projects'. What I would like to know is that if can transfer these reports into a report model?
As per my knowledge, a report model contains datasources, datasource views, report models itself and doesn't allow to transfer reports. Please , let me know if my understanding is correct?
Cheers

Hello - I am having difficulty enabling the automatic click-through functionality for my model. I have two entities - Customer & Incident. Incident is a role/FK/OptionalMany relationship to customer.
I've read through earlier postings on this subject (below) and have verified that the #Incidents attribute in my incident entity has the EnableDrillThrough=true.
My test report is simple - Customer Name (from customer) and #Incidents (from incident). When I run it, the click-through option is not available (the cursor stays as an arrow and doesn't change to a finger).
Are there other properties or settings that I need to be working with? I have SP2 (9.0.3042) installed on our Standard edition of SQL 2005. I know Infinite Click-Through is not in Std edition, but a few levels should be, correct?
Thanks in Advance,
Toni

Community:
Suposse that some models are deployed in Report Server for a while, and users have developed some ad-hoc reports on them using Report Builder, (some of the models are SSAS Cubes).
Modifications are required for a Model, what is the procedure to deploy this modifications? What happens with ad-hoc reports of this Model? Rewrite all the reports is a VERY BAD option, I agree that some reports must be rewrote, but only if they reference objects no longer valids in new model.
I suposse that the procedure for SSAS Cube Models will be different for a Relational Database Source because metods of generating models are so different. (I am particularly curious about Cubes, I can't figure out how I can do it)
Suggestions and links will be very appreciate.

Can someone verify that Report Builder is included in SQL Server 2005 Standard edition?
I have a book that says it's only included in Enterprise edition, but the following chart says it is included in Standard:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx
Here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160911.aspx
I read that this sample is included, however when I install the samples the other three are in the "Extension Samples" directory but the "Custom Report Item Sample" is missing. Can anybody please tell me where I can find it?
Thank you!
I have one SSRS report which contains indents but it is not included when exporting to excel sheet. Is it possible to include indents when exporting to excel?I have included indent in the textbox property of a field-->Alignment-->Padding Options-->Left-->Exp-->
=CStr(2+(Level()*20))&"pt"
This is working fine in the SSRS report but its not applied when exporting to excel.
I created some controls for filtering the report that will be displayed on the same page, but below these controls. The controls take about 200px of the top of the form, while the report will be displayed in the rest of the page.
I'm using the ReportViewer control in Async mode, so it's being rendered as an Iframe, and this is necessary because some reports will take up to a couple minutes, so I want the loading animation.
As many of you know, this type of scenario will cause two scrollbars to be shown on this Web form: one for the main form, and the other for the Iframe containing the report. To prevent this, I have html,body set to overflow:hidden. This works great at preventing the outer scrollbar from showing, and only the report has a scrollbar.
The problem is that the bottom 200px (see first paragraph above) of the report doesnt show and cant be scrolled to. Has anyone come across a solution for this situation?
I'm basically stuck either having a report with two side by side scrollbars, or a report with 1 scrollbar that cuts off the last portion of each page of a report.
I need to create RDF files dynamically. As one example, I need to output a report that contains an OLAP table from an MDX query and will need to generate the RDL that represents the table on the fly. (Binding to a data source with any built-in control will not even come close to solving the problem. The actual requirements are extremely complex.)
In short... Rather than outputting the RDL XML the hard way is there an object model I can use to construct an RDL document with? Even if it's a bindhind-the-scenese, not-supported library?
Thanks,

I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have created and deployed a data source (which uses "Credentials supplied by the user running the report") and a model which uses this data source.
Also I have built a report using Report Builder and all works well.
Now I wish to use Visual Studio to build a report, so I'm trying to create a data source from my computer which the report should use and I want it to use the model on the remote server. In the Report Wizard I am using "Report Server Model" and the following connection string:
Server="http://<remoteserver>/reportserver";datasource="/Models/MyModel"
IHowever I can't make the credentials to work. I've tried them all with no luck. What username/password must I use? Because so far nothing of what I have tried works.
Any help is highly appretiated.
Kind Regards,
Robert
Hi,
I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill.
Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl.
Questions:
1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields?
2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl?
Thanks,
Assaf
Is it possible to dynamically refresh the report model of the report builder?
could it even be using code with any of the interfaces?
When we add a table or add a column to the table in database , will the report model get refreshed automatically or do we need to do it externally. If so, can we use any of the objects and write a custom code in VB.
I get this error message:
Semantic query execution failed.
The 'PerspectiveID' custom property for the 'query' perspective is either not set or is not set to the string data type.
The report model does have a perspective.
Anyone else seen this?
In Report Designer I am able to create a Model data source and see my entities/fields.
But when I run the report I get a "Failed to execute Query" message.
I know in the past this was an issue because Designer doesn't allow you to specify a perspective.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved?
I'm using SP2
Thank you,

I have a report model that I am trying to deploy using report manager web service. A folder is created by the administrator to place all my SSRS reports. I deployed .rdl files using the "Upload file" function in "Report Manager". All the SSRS reports work fine but when I tried to upload .smdl file (report model file) using the Report Manager's "Upload file" function it gave me the following error message.
The permissions granted to user 'xxxxxxman' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Does this mean I only have permission to upload .rdl file but NOT .smdl file to my designated folder?
I'm having some difficulty linking a custome drilldown or clickthroug report to another report that I have already created in report builder. I followed a MSDN article found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345226.aspx but I cannot find the " Select a page area, select Drill-through reports" option in report manager. Does anyone have a better explanation on how to do this? I'm assuming that when you create the clickthrough report there has to some sore of filter on it that relates to the item of the clickthrough. I guess I'm I little confused, any help would be great. Thanks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello,
I've created a Report Model Project that can be used by Report Builder to generate ad-hoc reports. I'm trying to create a connection string in my Report Server Project that points to the Report Model Project data source view.
All I can do is create a regular datasource, which bypasses the metadata contained in the Data Source View.
Basically I want my Report Server Project and my Report Builder reports to leverage the same metadata. Is this possible? If so how do I get the connection string?
Thanks!!

Can anyone please help me out to create a Report Model to generate ad hoc reports
hi everyone,
I created a report model and deployed it. When I open the rpt builder on web I get the following error.
'The selected data source does not have and content available'
Seemed like it would be a easy issue, but I cannot retrieve any data in the rpt model. The datasource I'm using does work for rpts not associated with the rpt model. Any suggestions? It seems like I've missed a step. Thanks, Lisa
Hi All,
I'm a newbie to Report Model and not able to find some conceptual information, Can you guys answer following:
I€™ve
Employee [Name]
->Employee_Days [Day] (1-*)
->Employee_Day_Activities [Activity_Type, HoursSpent] (1-*)
schema and a generated model out of it. Now I€™ve few report requirements which will be developed based on Report Model. These Reports needs aggregate of All similar activities and the hrs spent and it'll be shown with every employee. Like Employee Xyz has spent 14 hrs total on Sick Activity, which will be shown as
Employee Sick Hrs Maternity Hrs WorkHrs
Xyz 14 0 20
Now i need to know the approach to develop it like i'v to ways in my mind
- create 3 custom fields(Sickhrs,Maternityhrs,Workhrs) in the Employee Entity(model), so that managers can create reports like above by simple drag and drop
- leave model as it is.. just create more descriptive fields in all the three table and let managers do the activity grouping etc to develop report like above..
Which approach should i follow? Moreover can you point me to some conceptual info like how report model works..etc..

Hi,
I just wonder if anyone comes across this problem. When I generate a report model based on a cube, I got this error
The ID property for the Role 'xx' has a local name that exceeds the maximum length of 250 characters. (IDLocalNameLengthExceeded) Get Online Help
note: xx is my cube name.
It used to work fine before and I have changed anything since then so I don't know why it fails now. Please help!
Thanks in advance
Hi, it's my first time for using report model as the datasource of reporting service. But I don't know how to build the query string to get data from the report model.

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9.2.6.0 and SQL 2005 SP2.
I have created a report model based on Oracle DB.
I use .Net Providers/Oracel Client Data Provider driver for my data source to connect to Oracle. It works fine but the performance is a bit slow.
Then I tried to use .Net Providers for OLEDBOracle Provider for OLEDB driver. When I deploy, I got the following error message: "System.OleDB".
I tried to use my last resort, which is Native OLEDBOracle Provider for OLEDB. When I deploy, I got the following error message: "Exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' was thrown".
Anyone has this issue before?
What is the best driver to use and what is the best approach in term of performance.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I've looked in vain for an answer to this, and it seems like it should be simple. Some new fields have been added to a table, and I need to add them to the Report Model. When I go to the data source view, the new fields do not show up in the table. Is there an easy way to get the new fields to show up, or do I need to delete the table (and of course the relationships), and then add it back. Thanks for any help.
The Adventure Works Model comes with 'Sales Person' entity inheriting 'Employees'. The Binding dropdown in the inheritance property for 'Sales Person' provides a 'FK_SalesPerson_Employee_SalesPersonID' choice.
The Refining a Report Model in Model Designer Tutorial Lesson 10: Inheriting Properties from Other Entities, walks you through the process of setting this inheritance, but the Binding dropdown, after you set InheritsFrom to Employee, provides only the (None) choice. Anyone know why?
Hi,
I am using report model as my data source and when I preview my report, I got the following error message:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create command for data source 'xxxx'. (rsErrorCreatingCommand)
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'SQL' that is not registered for this report server. (rsSemanticQueryExtensionNotFound)
Anyone has any idea how to fix it?
Many Thanks,

First, let me freely admit I know nothing about report models or how to deploy them. I was trying to learn by going through the tutorials. The creating part I get, but the deployment part seems to be over my head.
The error message I get is "A connection cannot be made to the report server http://hqjds02/Reports."
I don't understand why. Yeah...I get that it can't connect for some reason. Probably because I have messed things up somehow.
This is how I've got the deployment properties set:
TargetDataSourceFolder: Development (DV)/Data Sources
TargetModelFolder: Development (DV)/Models
TargetServerURL: http://hqjds02/Reports
In searching for an answer earlier I saw where someone wrote that I should be able to go to the URL and copy and paste it from IE. The actual URL is http://hqjds02/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fDevelopment+(DV)&ViewMode=Detail . I tried it, but it didn't work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Hi!
I've created a report with Report Builder using a Model. I want to keep the same report, but I have to use another model (this model is almost the same as previous one, except that it has some extra tables).
I tried to change my report's model from Report Manager (Report_Name -> Properties -> Data Sources), but it didn't work.
Any suggestions?
Best regards.
Is there any way to capture Report Model usage?
I was hoping to use the ExecutionLog (along with the RSExecutionLog_Update.dtsx SSIS Package). Closer investigation though shows that when a user executes the report built off the Model it gets logged with a ReportID Guid pointing to the root of the Catalog. Other than the Format being RGDI and the Source being AdHoc, there doesn't appear to be anyway to tell if the user ran this against ReportModel A or ReportModel B.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Rick
I'm new to Report Model and trying to create a new expression field with IF condition on related Role's attribute when i do this it gives error "The arguments to the following function are not valid: = (Equal to)" but if put direct Entity's column it works fine.. heres the expression
IF(Activity Type List Value Display Name = "Sick Day", 1, 0)
"Activity Type" is the Role(1--*) in Employee Table, and i'm adding this expression in the Employee Table
are there any sample models that i can download with some complex filters/expressions etc?
