I have abt 30 reports currrently in SQL 2000. My data still resides in SQL SERVER 2000. However, I need to convert these reports to SSRS 2005.
I want to use the cool features like sorting, multi-value parameters from the RS 2005.
Can you pl advise how I shud go abt converting these reports from RS 2000 TO RS2005 .
Thanks.
Hi,
Can anyone point me to any reference material, resources etc. on migration of SQL Server 2000 Reports to 2005?
Thanks,

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?
Thanks,

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?

I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log

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.
Any help is appreciated

Hi. We've decided to convert our Crystal Reports to SSRS 2005. We know (thanks to this forum) there are companies that will convert the reports at a cost; however, we'd like to undertake this ourselves. Are there resources you can point us to that might be specific for Crystal Reports users coming over to SSRS, especially for newbies? Thank you.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs 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?
Thanks!

How do I fax out reports from SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) 2005? I tried RightFax 6.0 but it didn't work.
Hi,
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.
Thanks

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?

Hi,
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?

Hello,
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.

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.

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 ???????
OK, I have some SQL Server 2000 databases that I want to convert to 2005. My question: how do I do that?
I tried importing the data, but it only picked up 3 tables out of 7 user tables in one of my SS2K databases. Plus, it did not pick up any stored procedures or any other kind of objects.
So I tried restoring from a backup, but predictably it could not do that because the original backup was on a different server.
I also tried the upgrade advisor utility that comes with SS2K5, but it could not seem to connect to my SS2K server -- it said it could not find any SQL Server objects on the server, even though I am connected using Enterprise Manager and have been using this server for a long time. Is it looking for 2005 databases? That wouldn't make a lot of sense.
Anyway, I am stumped... can anyone provide help on this?
Thanks!
I have a large (huge) database that I want to copy onto my new slq 2005 test server. I'm leaning toward detaching the data on my 2000 box, duplicating it, copying it to my new 2005 machine, and attaching it. Is it possible that it could be that simple? If not, how is it done? Thanks a bunch for any help or pointers to the articles I was totally unable to find on the subject.

Hi,
i've used sql 2000 to create reports. Now i have almost 100 reports with lot of history (snapshots). Now i've developed the same reports in 2005 (basically upgraded the reports).

Hi,
I'm am writing a report in SSRS 2005 on a local PC that uses cubes in AS 2000 on another server as a datasource. I am using the Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Extension (OLAP9) to connect to the cubes using windows authentication. I can save and preview the report in visual studio and publish the reports on IIS on my local PC with no problems but when I go to view the report in IE, I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'dataset'.
Unable to recognize the requested property ID 'ReturnCellProperties'.
Have read various articles on the net with no conclusive explanation.
I have seen another post on this forum that suggests using OLEDB for Analysis Services instead but if I do this it doesn't allow me to use the MDX visual query designer. Creating the report using OLAP9 then changing to OLEDB and pasting in the query code doesn't work so well either.
I went and read http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159219.aspx about data sources supported by SSRS 2005 and it should be ok.
I am using sql server 2005 with the latest service pack 2.
Any ideas?
Hello:
Here is the scenario: I have a report in SSRS 2005 that uses an OLE DB connection to send a MDX query to an AS 2000 cube. The report has been working fine for weeks. When the report ran today, it returned the row and column metadata, but not the cell values.
I ran the MDX query separately in the SSRS query editor pane, and it returns all values properly. I was also able to perform the query using ProClarity, so it appears that the issue is between the result set and SSRS.
What would cause this to happen?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading a SQL Server 2000 database to 2005. For the mean time, we're trying it out on SQL Server Express 2005. My question is, can reports in SSRS 2005 pull data from SQL Server 2000 in case both are installed side by side in the same machine and the 2000 version is the default instance while the 2005 express edition is the named instance?
Thanks a lot!
Has anyone managed to crack getting multi-select parameters to work from an SSRS 2005 report which is querying an SSAS 2000 cube.
SSRS 2005 does support Multiselect, however SSRS 2000 did not. Given that i am querying an SSAS 2000 cube, i get the impression that i am also limited to SSRS 2000 functionality regarding to multi-select parameters.
Is there anyone out there that ever managed to get a wor around, say by using filters on a table or anything really that coud simulate the same behaviour....
hi,
I got some data in both chinese and english ,but while executing my Report i want to c all my data only in english

Hi all--I'm trying to convert a function which I inherited from a SQL Server 2000 DTS package to something usable in an SSIS package in SQL Server 2005. Given the original code here:
Function Main()
on error resume next
dim cn, i, rs, sSQL
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"
set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
set rs = DTSGlobalVariables("SQLstring").value
for i = 1 to rs.RecordCount
sSQL = rs.Fields(0).value
cn.Execute sSQL, , 128 'adExecuteNoRecords option for faster execution
rs.MoveNext
Next
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
This code was originally programmed in the SQL Server ActiveX Task type in a DTS package designed to take an open-ended number of SQL statements generated by another task as input, then execute each SQL statement sequentially. Upon this code's success, move on to the next step. (Of course, there was no additional documentation with this code. :-)
Based on other postings, I attempted to push this code into a Visual Studio BI 2005 Script Task with the following change:
public Sub Main()
...
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Class
I get the following error when I attempt to compile this:
Error 30209: Option Strict On requires all variable declarations to have an 'As' clause.
I am new to Visual Basic, so I'm on a learning curve here. From what I know of this script:
- The variables here violate the new Option Strict On requirement in VS 2005 to declare what type of object your variable is supposed to use.
- I need to explicitly declare each object, unless I turn off the Option Strict On (which didn't seem recommended, based on what I read).
Given this statement:
dim cn, i, rs, sSQL
I'm looking at "i" as type Integer; rs and sSQL are open-ended arrays, but can't quite figure out how to read the code here:
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"
set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
This code seems to create an instance of a COM component, then pass provider information and create the recordset being passed in by the previous task, but am not sure whether this syntax is correct for VS 2005 or what data type declaration to make here. Any ideas/help on how to rewrite this code would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I worked on a project in ASP.NET using SQL server 2000 as the back end. Its a conversion application that I rewrote in ASP.NET using C#. I need to import the old data in Access db into SQL server 2000 and I have very little knowledge about doing it. The data in not a direct one -one transformation. There are considerable changes to the Database design and data types. Any help and suggestions wud be really helpful. Also, any article links wud be great.
Thanks
Hello all ...
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.
