I have created a report parameter called ServerName. However, when I deploy the report and report viewer opens, I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Error during processing of the ConnectString expression of datasource €˜AdventureWorks€™. (rsDataSourceConnectStringProcessingError)
Is there some really obvious step I am missing here? The relevant parts of my rdl are below.
Thanks in advance

<DataSource Name="AdventureWorks">
<ConnectionProperties>
<ConnectString>="data source=" & Parameters!ServerName.Value & ";initial catalog=AdventureWorks"</ConnectString>
RE: XML Data source .. Expression? Variable? Connection? Error: unable to read the XML data.
I want my XML Data source to be an expression as i will be looping through a directory of xml files.
I don't see the expression property or the connection property??
I tried setting the XMLData property to @[User::filename], but that results in:

Error: 0xC02090D0 at Load XML Files, XML Source [108]: The component "XML Source" (108) was unable to read the XML data.

Set up reports to use expression-based data sources and everything works fine as far as executing and viewing the reports. The ConnectionString expression includes the credentials, and the "No credentials required" option is selected.
Unfortunately, am getting this when trying to create a subscription for same report. WTF?

Problem is that when I choose Insititutional Agency from the drop down list it evaluates the expression and shows the textbox, when another state is choosen it still shows the textbox and I dont want it to? I have ran a test to show the expression (Parameters!state.Value) in a text box, and its showing the right values each time i run the report?
Both of these expressions work on 1 reportserver but not another (within exact same report). Has anyone else had similar issues?
The reportserver that works is on IIS v5.1 and SQL 2005 on a XP SP2 machine. The reportserver that does not work is on IIS v6.0 and SQL 2000 on a Win2003 SP1 machine. The report is exactly the same (even the dataset sources are the exact same) and it is deployed on 2 different machines as above.
Could the IIS version difference be the issue? Or a SQL server version difference?
Has anyone gotten this expression to work where the reporting databases are on SQL 2000? TIA.
I'm trying to generate the data for a 2-column table, where both columns are defined as NOT NULL and the second column is a uniqueidentifier.
In SQL Server Management Studio, this works fine:insert into table_3(column_a, column_b) select table_1.column_a, (case when table_2.column_b is NULL then newid() else table_2.column_b end) as column_b from table_1 left outer join table_2 on table_1.column_c = table_2.column_c
That is, column_b of the SELECT result has no NULL values, and all 35,986 rows are successfully inserted into a previously empty table_3. (If I comment out the INSERT INTO clause and project table_2.column_b instead of "(case ... end) as column_b", the SELECT result includes 380 rows with a NULL in column_b, so I know the case expression plus the outer join are working as expected.)
But when I use the SELECT query as the SQL command in an OLE DB Source component that is connected directly to the OLE DB Destination for the result table, I get this error:There was an error with input column "column_b" (445) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (420 The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
And sure enough, when I modify the result table to allow NULL in column_b, truncate it, and re-run the data flow, it inserts the exact same 380 rows with a NULL in column_b among the 35,986 rows.
So what is SSIS doing to screw up the results of the SELECT command???
I am using the "XML Source Adapter" in an SSIS package. I notice that although you can specify the XML filename as an expression, the XSD appears to have to be a fixed file path. This is a problem for me since the path for the XSD is different in my development than it will be in production (in production it's on drive E:, which I don't have).
I'd like to have the file location specified in the config file, but since I can't make it an expression how can I do that?
Also, since they don't have Connection Managers I can't switch DelayValidation on.
I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task.
I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI .
But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder.
I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI.
My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at.
, Hi In this code how can I create a new data source and new data source view and model and structure that it run dynamic. In this code I have a lot of errors, that they are about server and database don€™t have in current code, In this code, first I should definition server or no?
How can I create data source and data source view and model and structure? Please say code of that, and guide me. databasename and srv is unknown. Do I add other reference with analysis services? Please explain about these codes: ************************************************************************ 1) RelationalDataSource dsNew = new RelationalDataSource( datasourceName, Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID( datasourceName, typeof(RelationalDataSource)));
I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...
I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value.
To re-create the problem quickly...
If I populate the column via CONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text') then there is no problem, I get results as expected.
However if I populate the column via CONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max))) no results are ever returned.
Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.
I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).
The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).
Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Gavin.
Below is a T-SQL script you can run to demonstrate the effect I'm experiencing...
-- Create test database CREATE DATABASE FullTextTest GO USE FullTextTest GO
-- Create test data table CREATE TABLE TestTable ( pk UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT tablePK PRIMARY KEY, varbinarycol VARBINARY(MAX), documentExtension VARCHAR(5), ) GO
-- The below single entry WILL BE FOUND (the text source is being entered directly) INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX),'<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 1'), '.html')
-- The bellow two entries below WILL NOT BE FOUND (the text source is taken from an NVARCHAR(MAX) value) INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 2' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html') INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 3' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html') GO
-- Create the full text catalog sp_fulltext_database 'enable' GO CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG TEST AS DEFAULT GO CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON TestTable (varbinarycol TYPE COLUMN documentExtension LANGUAGE 1033) KEY INDEX tablePK GO
-- NOTE: You might need to give the catalog a chance to build before running the script below.
-- Now do a search that SHOULD RETURN 3 ROWS of data, but ONLY 1 ROW IS RETURNED SELECT CAST(varbinarycol AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) FROM TestTable WHERE CONTAINS(varbinarycol, 'test')
i have configure a SSIS package in BIDS to use an Env. Var. to store the location of the .dtsconfig file for the connection to my SSIS configuration table in SQL. I than use another Env. Var. to retrieve the source conn. str. from my SQL SSIS configuration table. Once my package loads, i select a simple sql task to execute, but it comes back and says that it cannot make the connection. How does the SQLServer connection string know what password to use? This is where i'm confused. I believe it loads the connection string for my source database but it doesn't get the password. I just started working in SSIS and i'm trying to get my head around all of the dynamic options of SSIS. I appreciate your time and help.
Problem Details: package A has 1 sql execute task Env.Var. 1 stores the location of the .dtsconfig file that stores the connection data to ssis sqlserver configuration table (used to store additional package properties in sql server) Env. Var. 2 stores the connection string of my source database. package protection level set at "EncryptSensitiveWithPassword" the sql task is assigned to the source connection string,right click and execute task.
here is the error: Failed to acquire connection "source database" Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permission on this connection.
I'm executing this from within BIDS just to check that my setup is going to work.
Here are some items i've tried or troubleshoot:
1. If I roll back the 2 package Configs or disable using package configs and replace my original source connection manager and create a new connection manager than i can get the sql task to successfully execute again. It won't usually work by just disable the package configs. i had to delete the existing source connection manager.
2. create a new package trying the same steps as above.
3. change the package protection level to "encryptSensitiveWithPassword" expecting this to retain the source connection password. I tried a variety of package protection levels.
hi everybody, i want to create data source and data source view for data mining, with using C Sharp. i have create data source and data source view and export to XML file, but when i change to another computer, run those XML file, it return error, when i run statement to create and biuld mining model, what can i change on xml or how to run XML on another computer sucessfully, and have i build data source and data source view, how to do it.?
Today I was making a few reports. When I tested the reports in Visual Studio, they worked great: I got the expected result. But when I deployed the reports to our reportserver the problem started. When I click on the directory in which my reports are deployed, I got my 4 reports. Till now everything worked correct. But when I click on a report to view the results it went wrong. I got an error: "Cannot create a connection to data source 'Live'" (Live is the name of our data source).
We are using the Windows Logons and I am sure that I have all the rights on the server, I gave myself 'sysadmin' rights, so it should work. I also have tried it with all the roles assigned on my account, but then it still won't work.
When I modify the data source, and set it to another server en database it works. The datasource 'Live' exists on a x64 MsSQL server, en the other datasource is on a x86 MsSQL server. Maybe that is the problem?
I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.
The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.
Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
Sql date base help 1 do not now where to start I am trying simple to run the sql database I have in expression web which I built within visual web developer 2005. I thought. I would upload it in with expression web in the website using ftp and it would run on the server. No can anybody help the web site uses all ASP.NET pages , I have everything tested and working right on my computer, I have three simple data bases I up date through master details forms pages I run on my computer and not on the server.The data is of names addresses, ex and I display them with a grid view control on the web site pages. I used visual web developer 2005 to do this.And I do not use ASP.NET 2.0 Membership, Role and Profile features. I tested it on a server got a server error connecting to sql server 2005. I think I need sql server 2005 installed on the server and is the sql server 2005 just a program for and to run sql data basesAt this point I’m lost.I do not know how it works Do not know anything about sql data bases other than the above.I need a simple explanation no how to get the sql data base to work on the web site and a quick explanation on how all this works. In the Recipe: Deploying a SQL Database to a Remote Hosting Environment (Part 1) It said unfortunately there hasn't historically been a super-easy way to accomplish this. Copying the .aspx files and compiled assemblies to the remote system is pretty easy (just FTP or copy them up). I coped the data base files by ftp but what are compiled assemblies? The release candidate of a new SQL Server Hosting Toolkit is this, what I need and how do I use it.The toolkit allows you to work with SQL Express, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005 databases locally and then easily transfer your schema and data and install themWhat is a schema? And how do I use it to setup and recreate the database contents - both schema and data - on the remote hosted site. Bill Deploying a SQL data base to a server have looked at the sql server videos from Microsoft and now can create a fantastic data base but cannot get a simple signal table data base published and running on a sql server 2005. Why is it so difficult to get help or a video or publication from Microsoft on the most important things? What good is the most fantastic data base if you cannot get it up and running it was the same for a simple piece of script to get an asp web form to post the results of a form as an e-mail took me 3 months to scrap together the script to make it work? How this with the data base. As I have explained do not know the process never down it, first time too build and try to put a data base on a website. If you publish to sql express all you need to do is ftp it up to the server and it will work I think. But it’s not so simple with SQL server 2005 it’s much more complicated. So I have installed the new publishing wizard in Microsoft for visual web developer 2005 to help get it running on the server. This was the simplest way I think. Have three data bases the data bases are so simple as they only have one table each. Does anybody now of a video or article that explains from the start how to get a simple data base up and running no SQL server 2005 for a beginner that explains in detail the possess.
Can anyone provide an example or point me to an article that explains how to programmatically set the SQL command for a data reader. I am using a data flow task in a For Loop Container and want to change the SQL command for each loop based on the data from the previous.

It seems that somehow the 3 columns are not read in from the source file? ans alslo fiscal year, fiscal week is not set up up properly in my data destination? anyone faced such errors before?
I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
Was wondering if there was a best practice minimum permissions for creating a SQL login to use when setting up a new shared Data source for SSRS report manager?
Something along the lines of them being a data read for the DB and permissions to update tempdb?
Would have thought it not advisable to have the login be able to update the main db...
I have 4 Tablix and 2 of the Tablix get data from Server 1 and other 2 get the data from Server 2.I have set NoRowsMessage "=Data Not Available for the Selected Values"  for all the 4 Tablix.Now if data is not available from Server 1 then I must show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in the  outputbut now its appearing twice in the output because of the 2 tablix that had no rows.Similarly if data not available from Server 2 then it should show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in my output.If Data not avilable from all the Tablix then also i t should show only once as "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" in the report output.
