Compatibility Of SQL Express Reporting Services With SQL 2000 Reporting Services
Dec 6, 2006
I'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.
One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:
Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets?
Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?
Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hello,
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified.
Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases
Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Common.DBUtils.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.SqlClientTools.SqlTools.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'?
Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?
Any help is appreciated

Hi, I'm wondering if I can use SQL 2005 Reporting Services with SQL Server 2000, SQL Express or MSDE, or I need to install SQL Server 2005 in order to use Reporting Services 2005? Thank you in advance.

Hi All,
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?
Regards,
Joseph

Hello,
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
thank you
regards
Andreas

I've installed SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE and SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE. Was able to reattached my own DB's and everything seems to be working fine, but....
I used reporting services extensively in SQL 2000 and would love to play with the express version. My problem is, I don't know how to access. I tried opening ReportBuilder.exe but get an error indicating "Report Builder and Report Models are not supported in this version of Reporting Services"...
I have XP Pro and there is a Reports and ReportServer under the default web sites. Do you have to have Visual Studio to utilize?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thank you...

Wow!
We get reporting services in SQL Express. Excellent!
Now, how do I save/deploy a report. Can we set up a report server locally. I feel a bit cheeky seeing as how this is all free, but where are we supposed to store the reports we create in the (free! thanks!) Business intelligence tool.
Cheers

I work in a big project and we will begin in using reporting services as the base technique for reports and I will be responsible for this part. but I have a problem I will discuss in the following:
Currently: We use currently devexpress reports and we have 2 languages(Arabic and English). the data in tables saved in two ways (Arabic and English). when the end user change the language of the web site the report data language changed when run it.
Example:
we have table with (ID, NAME_AR, NAME_EN, JobTitle_AR, JobTitle_EN). designed report will display(ID, NAME_EN, JobTitle_EN) . but the end user change the language of the system the report will
dispaly(ID, NAME_AR, JobTitle_AR)
Hint:this done pragmatically
how to do this in reporting services.

I have to create a report and save it in Excel format. By default the report is saved as - *.rdl. but the web report server has an option of saving it as excel or pdf etc formats. Is there a way to do this automatically? ie by code and not manually

Yes folks that's right, I said SQL 2000 RS.
I have used SQL 2005 reporting services for quite sometime and now one of our clients wants the SQL 2005 reports that I developed. There's only one catch: they only have SQL 2000.
Is there any way to deploy my reports to their server on SQL 2000?

I am trying to get SQL 2000 reporting services up and running, and am trying to get a condensed explanation of what I need to do, and any other software I may need to purchase.
I have already installed the Reporting Services, and after reading the help, it seems that I have to install MS Visual Studio 2003 in order to design the reports. Is this true.
Anyone that can give me some help in getting this up and running - I would be grateful.
Thanks so much - Joe

Hi
I have used Reporting Services 2000 to create a template, and works in a mail merge sort of way, creating a delivery note for each order.
The problem I have is, if an order goes over two pages.. I need a easy way to present this, so that the user knows to send two pages.... Obviously, the correct way would be to page it in some way but from what I understand, RS 2000 would page the whole documents (ie all orders) and there is no way of paging in respect to a group (ie order no)
The next option is to have cont. at the bottom of page 1 (if there are more than 1 page), does any1 know how to do this? cos of obviously on the screen it will always be 1 page???
I hope I make some sense... any help would be great....
Thanks in advance :)

The SQL Server Express can be downloaded with Advanced Services and thereby Reporting Services are included. I wonder if this is the same Reporting Services as in SQL Server 2005 Standard?
I have heard something that it is a stripped version that is included in the Express download.Is it so? And if so, what are the differences?

I am trying to install sql express advanced services. I already have sql installed on one machine and removed it from another machine completely. When installing on both machines I only get two main components when the list comes up. I have uncheck (or checked) to show all components. There is no "Reporting Services" listed. I am downloading the sqlexpress_adv.exe file from microsoft. Please, how do you install the reporting services? It is not in the list of components to install!!!

Hi,
I have installed SQL Server Express with Reporting Services in a default instance and let the installer configure reporting services using the standard configuration. The issue is that I am unable to authenticate with the web based Report Manager application when browsing http://localhost/reports.
It prompts me for a user name and password which I supply my windows credentials but it will not accept them. I am running Windows XP SP2 fully patched but it is not on a domain. Is this an issue with Windows Authentication?
I attempted to enable anonymous access to the report manager. I get past the login except report manager gives an error saying the report server is not responding. I have checked the sql reporting services configuration tool and it is telling me that the server is in fact running.
Another forum article told me to check the web.config to ensure indentity impersonate is set to true. I checked the report manager web.config file and this setting is there.
What am I missing?

When installing SQL Server 2005 Express with Advanced Services, everything installs except OWC11 and Reporting Services. The error is "Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive. For other potential solutions to this problem, see C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE111033SETUP.CHM." But this is just saying to enter the product key for MS Office.

We are trying to make use of reporting services in our web application. We have however run into some problems.
The SQL Server Express 2005 edition is not installed on the development web server. When we try to access a report throught the ReportViewer we get an Access Denied message? After reading up a bit we have created a class which implements the IReportServerConnection interface. This however lead to a new problem which we have as of yet not found a solution for in that it causes a new error. "Custom Security Extensions is not Supported in the Edition of Reporting Services". Does any one have a solution/workaround for this problem.
Thanks

Hi there,
I have installed SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services with the default names for the virtual directories , (ReportServer and Reports). Is there any way i can change the name of these directories by running a script or some thing.
Also is there a way to use the Cascaded Style Sheet used in my ASP.NET application for the reports.

We had someone leave work and he was responsible for the reports for our company. He used SQL 2000 w/ Reporting Services. The connection to the report server was tied to his userid and password. Since his account was disabled the website will not connect to the reporting database because it was tied to his account. Is there a way to reset the connection creditions? I looked on the server and I can't find the Reporting Services Admin Tool.
Thanks..

Hello there.
i would like to install Report Services on visual studio 1.1 version
using sql server 2000. i currently have sql server 2005 and visual
studio 2.0 and there is no problems and so i remember how that
works.
With sql server 2000 i saw a link to a trial version of reporting services that i can download and install but after 120 days it's no good. I think that provides the gui interface to install reporting
services like the 2005 version except less robust. But i'm wondering with the proper service packs of sql server 2000 installed if i can
bypass download.
Can somebody help me how to install reporting services with sql server 2000, pre-req and software i need. I currently have the
developer's edition of sql server 2000 already.
Please contact me at clalbert@flash.net

I have installed SP2 successfully a number of times before, but always where the Report Server and the Report Server databases were on the same box. This is the first time trying to install the Service Pack where the Report Server is on server X and the databases are on server Y.
When I try to run the SP (on server X), I get the following message:
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I am logged in using a domain account that is a local admin on both servers (and also the SQL Server startup account on server Y). It is also the account used by the Report Server to connect to the RS databases. The startup account for the Report Server service is 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.

I plan to install the Report Server database on the SQL 2K DB server; but I want to install the Report Server on the web server with IIS. Is that possible ? If yes can you please describe in detail how can I do it ?
The other question I am having is from where can I download SQL 2000 Reporting Services (DEV edition or ENT edition). Is this something available online ?
Please help, as this is very important for the project given to me.
Thank you all in advance
