Conditional Subscription / Conditional Execution Of Report
Mar 7, 2008
Hello everyone,
Is there a way in order to execute a subscribed report based on a certain criteria?
For example, let's say send a report to users when data exist on the report else if no data is returned by the query
executed by the report then it will not send the report to users.
My current situation here is that users tend to say that this should not happen, since no pertinent information is contained in the report, why would they receive email with blank data in it.
I have a job which exports and emails the data from a table (subject to some conditions) . The data is exported to a test file. I donot want to send the email if there are no rows exported. or the filesieze is 0. Otherwsie I want to send the email with this text file as attachement.
I have basic knowledge of SSIS and will appreciate if some can suggest a way (with example if possible), to solve this problem.
I have an SSIS package that requires execution of another package, lets say B. This I am able to do using the 'Execute package' task. Now, what I really want to do is, I wish to check if a perticular table 'A' has rows that satisfy a given condition. In other words, I wish to execute Package 'B' onle if Table 'A' has rows. How can I do this?
I've searched everywhere for this but can't find the answerI want to run a DTS package that simply executes a SQL statement to geta count of rows in a table, if the resulting number is greater thanzero I want to execute another step in the same package, else justquit.I don't to pass global vars from one package to anotherHow can I do this?Any help would be great
I'm trying to conditionally execute a dataflow based on the presence of a data file. If the data file isn't present, I'd like to execute gracefully without error.
Logic is as follows:
If FileExists Then execute dataflow Else exit w/o error End If
I've got the code ready to go, but I'm not sure how to do this conditional branch logic. Right now, the code calls the Dts.Results.Success / Failure. The problem, however, is Failure is exactly that... which doesn't result in the graceful exit I'm looking for.
There was a similar question to mine a few time ago about conditional execution, but I'm having some problems with it to which I couldn't find any answer, could anyone help?
My condition is checking if a DateTime from a DB table is null. I use the Execute SQL Task to retrieve the record (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM myTable WHERE conditions = TRUE), then I map 2 fields to their respective global variables.
Then I created the green arrow connector and used a precedence expression based on sucess. I used the expression IsNull(@variable). For some reason, even if the @variable comes as null - I checked the info in the DB - it still comes out as '1999-11-30'
I've looked around and the IsNull method can be used to also change the value in the event of it being null, could it be changing my variables value to this even if I didn't pass that value as a parameter to the function? If so, how else can I test it for null? I've tried "== null", "= null" and even ".equals(null)" - which I know is absurd, but I'm running out of options here...
Could you enlighten me, please??? Thanks in advance!
I have a report with required parameters of company and project. I then have 3 parameters that I want to be conditional - start date, end date and cycle.
By conditional I mean if cycle is chosen then start & end date are not required. If start and end date are chosen then cycle is not required.
I have made all 3 parameters 'Allow Null Values" however cycle's available values are set from a query once a project is chosen. When the field refreshes I lose my null checkbox for cycle, so it ends up always being required.
Am I going about this the wrong way? I'm using 2005.
Hello, I've been researching this for some time. Does anyone know if you can conditionally jump to a report? Something like this:
=iif(Fields!TEST.Value = "?????" And Fields!TEST2.Value > 0, TestDetailReport, "") I've tried this based on the text color also but keep getting errors like this:
The expression for the textbox €˜TESTBOX€™ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'TestDetailReport' is not declared.
I have created a view from the exisiting table to use in the report builder model and in the table whenever there is a null(when users does not enter a date for this particular field in the application) for datetime field either of these 2 ("1/1/1753" and "12/31/9999") dates are stored . Since I am creating my views based on these tables these dates will be in my views as well. Checking for this at the application level and cleaning up is not a option for me at this time.
So what I am trying to do is to check for these values and replace it with Null or blank in the model designer expression property. So that when user creates a report using this field they will not see these sql standard dates.
I tried using conditional IF in Model designer .
EX:
IF(Next MCR Review Date = 1/1/1753,EMPTY,Next MCR Review Date)
IF(Next MCR Review Date = 1/1/1753,NULL,Next MCR Review Date)
Both of these gives me errors.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and also are there any other ways to get to what I want.
I have already spent a lot of time digging for documentation but no luck any help is appreciated.
We are trying to create a hyperlink to another report based in the value of the field..If the field is OK, then no hyperlink is placed, when the field is NOK, we want to put a hyperlink to another report.. Can we do this? How can we set a conditional acction for the column?
I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value.
I have a matrix report with 2 column SaleAmount and ProfitAmounts by Month like
Sale Profit Dealer 5/1/2007 6/1/2007 7/1/2007 5/1/2007 6/1/2007 7/1/2007 A 100 200 300 20 25 15 B 200 250 50 30 45 19
how can i do following 3 things
1)Add Total column for Sale and Average column for Profit 2)Sort report by lastMonth of Sale (here 7/1/2007) High to low 3)if last month of sale(here 7/1/2007) is less than second last month here (6/1/2007) whole row should be red
I want to know how I can create conditional FROM WHERE clauses like below ..
SELECT X,X,X FROM CASE @intAltSQL > 0 Then Blah Blah Blah END CASE @intAltSQL = 0 Then Blah END WHERE CASE @intAltSQL > 0 Then Blah Blah Blah END CASE @intAltSQL = 0 Then Blah END
Im faced with the following design issue.. on my site there are different profiles: a city profile, a restaurant profile and a user profile. in my DB:City profiles are stored in tbCities cityID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...) Restaurant profiles are stored in tbRests restID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...) User profiles are stored in tbUsers userID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...) as you can see a single ID value (for CityID,restID or userid) might occur in multiple tables (e.g. ID 12 may exist in tbRests and in tbUsers)Each of these profile owners can start a forum on their profile. forumID in each of the above tables is a FK to the PK in tbForums:forumID intforumname nvarchar(50) (...) Now imagine the following: a site visitor searches ALL forums...say he finds the following forums:ForumID Forumname1 you opinion on politics2 is there life in space?3 who should be the next president of the USA? a user may want to click on the forum name to go to the profile the forum belongs to.And then there's a problem, because I dont know in which table I should look for the forum ID...OR I would have to scan all tables (tbCities,tbRests and tbUsers) for that specific forumid,which is time-consuming and I dont want that! so if a user would click on forumID 2 (is there life in space?) I want to do a conditional inner join for the tablecontainingforumID (which may be tbCities,tbRests or tbUsers) select tablecontainingforumID.shortname FROM tablecontainingforumID tINNER JOIN tbForums f ON t.ForumID=f.ForumIDwhere f.ForumID=2 I hope my problem is clear..any suggestions are welcome (im even willing to change my DB design if that would increase effectivity)
I encounter a T-Sql problem related to if conditional processing:The following script execute an insert statement depending on whether column 'ReportTitle' exists in table ReportPreferences. However it gets executed even when ReportTitle column is not present.Could anyone offer some advice? IF(Coalesce(Col_length('ReportPreferences','ReportTitle'),0) > 0) BeginINSERT INTO dbo.DefaultsSELECT FinancialPlannerID,ReportTitleFROM dbo.ReportPreferencesendGO
I have a stored procedure that performs a search function with params:@username nvarchar(50)@country nvarchar(50)and like 10 more.A user may provide values for these params optionally.So when the @username var is left blank, there should be no filtering on the username field (every field should be selected regardless of the username)Currently my statement is:select username,country from myUsers whereusername=@username and country=@countryWith this statement when a user provides no value for username the username field selects on ''m which returns ofcourse nothing...What can I do to solve this?Thanks!
Hi, is it possible to do a conditional WHERE in T-SQL? I have a table with a column that consists of a reference that starts with either a single alpha character or two alpha characters followed by four numeric digits (the numeric portion is always unique but the alpha isn’t). E.g. A1234, AB1235, AB1236, C1237, HT1238. What I want to do is select a range of rows based on the numeric portion of this reference column. In other words I want to select say 50 rows starting from row 1000 (rows 1000 to 1050) regardless of whether there is one or two alpha characters preceding the numerics.The Stored procedure I have so far works (using COUNT for testing) for selecting a range of rows that has two alpha's at the start. However, if I simply add an OR to the WHERE to select rows where there is a single alpha in the reference column, when a single alpha reference is found it will fail the first logical check for two alpha's giving an error condition. Therefore, how can I incorporate a conditional WHERE using IF or some alternative method, so that it will also give me all the rows in the number sequence that start with either single or double alpha's within the same SELECT / WHERE statement?
Thanks for any help.ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Test]

I have an SqlDataSource that uses a value from the query string in the WHERE clause of the sql statement. The sql is something like this: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myfield = @myfield and I have the QueryStringParameter setup like this: <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="myfield" QueryStringField="myfield" /> What I need is for the sql statement to return all records in the case that "myfield" is not defined in the query string. How would I implement this? Thanks, Joshua Foulk
Hello all, my update statement works as expected, but lacks some conditional logic. How can I change the statement to not decrement qtyonhand if the quantity is 0? Additionally, I would need to return to the calling application something that would allow me to populate a label with a message to the user.. How can that be accomplished? Here is my sproc:CREATE PROCEDURE [webuser].[cssp_removeItem] @lblID int AS Update cstb_inventoryset qtyonhand = qtyonhand -1where Id = @lblIDGO Here is my app code: Try Dim cmd As SqlCommand = cn.CreateCommand cmd = New SqlCommand("cssp_removeItem", cn) cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure With cmd cmd.Parameters.Add("@lblId", SqlDbType.Int).Value = lblId.Text End With If Not cn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then cn.Open() End If cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() Catch ex As Exception Response.Write(ex.ToString) Finally If Not cn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then cn.Close() cn = Nothing End If
Hi, [SQL 2005 Express] I would like a DropDownList to be populated differently depending on the selected value in a FormView. If the FormView's selected value (CompanyID) is 2, then the DropDownList should show all Advisers from the relevant Company. Otherwise, the DropDownList should show all Advisers from the relevant Company where the TypeID field is 3. Here is the SQL for case 1: SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE (CompanyID = @CompanyID). Here's the SQL for case 2: SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3). Here's my best (failed) attempt to get what I want: SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE IF @CompanyID = 2 THEN BEGIN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) END ELSE BEGIN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3) END I've also tried: SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE CASE @CompanyID WHEN 2 THEN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) ELSE (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3) END and SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE CASE WHEN (@CompanyID = 2) THEN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) ELSE (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3) END I'd be very grateul to know (a) what the correct syntax for this is and (b) if it can be achieved using a parametised query, rather than a stored procedure. Thanks very much. Regards Gary
I'm wondering if one can designate a conditional foreign key that relates to one of many different tables depending on the "type" column in the foreign key's. My goal is to come up with some SQL code that will allow for this in a Create table statement. (By the way I'm using MS SQL-7 but I'm wondering if this can be done in general.)
I have two simple cases below that show illustrate what I'm trying to do: Thanks in advance, -JerryZZ
--------------------------------------------------------- Case 1: The foreign key relation is to a primary key
Table: Invoices -Fields: ---InvoiceID ..... (primary key) ---BilleeID ...... (fkey to Manfacturers.ManfID IF BilleeType=M) ...................(fkey to Distibutors.DistID IF BilleeType=D) ---BilleeType .....(constraint = M or D)
--------------------------------------------------------- Case 2: The foreign key relation is to a unique "not null" non-primary key
Table: InvoicesEmail -Fields: ---InvoiceID ..... (primary key) ---EmailAddress .. (fkey to Manfacturers.EmailAddress IF BilleeType=M) ...................(fkey to Distibutors.EmailAddress IF BilleeType=D) ---BilleeType .....(constraint = M or D)
Hi, ladies and gentelmen! Can you help me with following trouble: I got a table (let it be called SomeTable) in which there's one nullable field (let's call it SomeField) among many others. PRIMARY KEY for SomeTable is of INT IDENTITY type. Business rules are following: only records that have SomeField IS NULL can be deleted, so I need to perform conditional delete (for cases like DELETE SomeTable). I don't like idea about using SP here, so I tried to solve the task by means of trigger. However, when DELETE clause is used within a transaction and there're records affected by the trigger that don't match business rule, trigger uses ROLLBACK TRAN and then deletes only matching rows from target table. Everything works fine with our SomeTable, but not so fine with the transaction, because due to ROLLBACK TRAN statement in trigger body this transaction is rolled back (as it is described in documentation). But I don't wanna ALL my transaction rolled back! So, is there in SQL Server 7.0 any way to rollback only changes that caused trigger to fire? Something like ROLLBACK TRIGGER?
I would like to write the following (pseudo) stored procedure, but am having problem with the syntax:
Create Procedure spSort @IDContract nvarchar(10) @SortOrder int
SELECT * FROM Contracts WHERE IDContract = @IDContract IF @SortOrder = 0 BEGIN ORDER BY ContractDate END IF @SortOrder = 1 THEN BEGIN ORDER BY ShippingPeriod END
The problem is in conditionally setting the sort order. The actual sp is quite complex and I don't really want to have to use two procedures (one for ordering by ShippingPeriod and one for ordering by ContractDate

Now how can I reverse this to insert all the values back to tbl FULLSOURCE from maybe an updated SSOTARGET Tbl. FULLSOURCE looks like this:
I am trying to write query that will select calls that only show up when the resolution returned from the case in the sub query is 'y'. When I do the group by some calls will show up twice because of a null and a 'y' resolution return. I want to only select a call if there is a 'y' that shows for all resolutions associated with that call. If there are any null resolutions for the call I don't want it to show up in my returned values. This is what I have so far, but I can't figure out how to make it drop both instances of the callID if one instance is null.
Code:
SELECT C.CallID, P.PrimarySupportGroupID, P.PrimaryTeamName, T1.Resolution, CASE C.CallID WHEN T1.Resolution IS NOT NULL THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END FROM HEAT.dbo.CallLog C, (SELECT CallID, CASE WHEN A1.Resolution = '' THEN 'Y' ELSE NULL END AS Resolution FROM HEAT.dbo.Asgnmnt A1) T1, HEAT.dbo.Profile P WHERE C.CallID = T1.CallID AND C.CustID = P.CustID AND (P.PrimarySupportGroupID = 'ATS') AND (P.PrimaryTeamName = 'Beta') GROUP BY C.CallID, P.PrimarySupportGroupID, P.PrimaryTeamName, T1.Resolution
If anyone could help me out with this or at least give me a little information and point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
