Hi report data sources keep losing their credentials. We use custom datasources and store credentials on the server yet for some reason? the credentials get removed and have to be re entered.
Has anyone come acroos this before?
For credentials, I have a Shared Data Source that "uses a specific user name and password".
When I open the data source's RDS file, I observed that the credentials are not stored in the RDS file.
Where are the credentials for the data sources stored?
It has to be stored somewhere. When I close and reopen the solution, the credentials for the data source are still intact.
I could see the preview of my report without any problem. But when I deploy on a sever and select a parameter I m getting following error
€śOne or more data sources is missing credentials€?
My report contains single value parameters and a dependence parameter.
I think this error occur bcos of that dependence parameter.
If I change single value parameter as multivalve parameters it is working fine without any error.
And also if I make dependence parameter as my first parameter it is working fine
Is it a bug in sp2??????
Or
Can v solve this problem???
Weird one this....
View 10 Replies View RelatedOn my SSIS package I have 2 connection managers, both are connecting to an Oracle db. I enter in the ID and Password then click 'test connection' I'm able to connect to the database fine. I then go to a data flow of one of my control flow task. Open up my OleDb Source and click preview. The SQL query executes with no issues. I can see the data from my connection manager source.
I then go and run the package and I get this error message:

Hi,
I've experienced a problem (bug?) when deploying reports to the report server. My users kept complaining about losing authentication to reports when I deploy a new report. I found the problem but don't understand why this is happening. My collegue developped the earliest reports and loggs in with a different user on Remote Desktop to develop the reports. When the report is deployed, the datasources are deployed also.
Now when I log in on Remote Desktop with another user then my collegue and open the same report project, and check out the datasources, the credentials are gone ... ?!? So when I deploy a report the datasource with the empty credentials are deployed too, wich causes all the authentication problems.
My Question: How comes I can't see the user credentials my collegue filled in? When I open the report project the credentials are gone. I log out, my collegue loggs in, and the credentials are back
I suppose this has something to do with Remote Desktop and the users connecting to it?
Thanks in advance!
We're using SQL Server 7 with an Access 2000 MDB as a front end with ODBClinked tables. I recently created a new set of tables for the app, and usersare complaining that unsaved data is being lost when they move to a newrecord. This seems to be the case when there are multiple users. When thereis a single user using it, we don't seem to have that problem.It seems that we had this problem when we first converted from an MDB backend to a SQL 7 back end, years ago, but we haven't had this problem in awhile. These are the first "entirely new" tables created in several years,and we seem to be having that problem again.Is this something with SQL 7 when it's dealing with new tables? Any ideas onwhat to do?Thanks!Neil

Hi,
I have a staging table that has a float [DT_R8] column that shows 4 decimal places. When I use an OLE DB Source referencing that table to go to an OLE DB Destination referencing a table with an identical column the data gets rounded to a single decimal place. Needless to say this is really messing with the values.
I can see the Scale property in the Advanced Editor for OLE DB Destination but I cannot change it. Same for the OLE DB Source.
Oh, and if I do an insert using SQL in Management Studio I have no problem getting the 4 decimal places in. For example:
Insert into table2
(Col1, Col2)
select Col1, Col2 from table1
Moves all the data and keeps the 4 decimal places.
How do I do this without losing those decimals?
Thanks

I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.
Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.
I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.
The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.
In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Hi guys. I've got an Xml DataSource in my report server, used to talk to a web service to retrieve it's data. Now, since this is an Xml DataSource that talks to a Web service, i shouldn't have to give it credentials to run with, or - since the web service runs on the machine right next to my report server - I could use Windows Integrated Auth. However ... when I try to use Windows Integrated auth. I get back the error:"This
data source is configured to use Windows integrated security. Windows integrated
security is either disabled for this report server or your report server is
using Trusted Account mode. "And when I tried to use no credentials, before I can even see the report, I get the error:"the user data source credentials that are required to execute this report are
not stored in the report server database." - where I just told it that it doesn't need credentials to run this datasource !!!
Hi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

Hi, i'm wondering which is the best way to search data in a SQL Server.
I reach data using Data Sources and Data Views and also with OLE DB Source with a Data access mode: Named query.
I have to write the data into a Flat File. So, does any one knows which is the best practice for this? Or any one of the two are good choices?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
In my project i want a report. In that report data is getting from more than one data sources(systems). While creating data source view i used named query for both primary and secondary data source. But at the time of crating "Report Model" i am getting below error.
An error occurred while executing a command.
Message: Invalid object name 'Table2'.
Command:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT SerialNum, ModelNum AS com_model
FROM Table2) t
Is there any way to create a report with multiple data sources?
Hi all :)
I'm wondering if SSIS will be the solution to the problem I'm working on.
Some of our customers give us an Excel sheet with data they want to insert or update in the database.
I've created a package that will take an Excel sheet, do some data conversion so the data types match up and after that I use a Slowly Changing Data component to create the insert/update commands.
This works great. If a customer adds a new row to the Excel sheet or updates an existing row changes are nicely reflected in the database.
But now I€™ve got the following problem. The column names and the order of the columns in the Excel sheet are not standard and in the future it could happen a customer doesn't even use an Excel sheet but something totally different.
Can I use SSIS for this? Is it possible to let the user set the mappings trough some sort of user interface? I€™ve looked at programmatically creating the package but I€™ve got to say that€™s quit hard to do€¦ It would be easier to write the whole thing myself than to create the package trough code ;)
If not I thought about transforming the data in code before I pass it on to the SSIS package in something like XML. That way I can use standard column names and data types.
So how should I solve this problem? Use SSIS or not?
Thnx :)

I'm trying to use stored credentials to enable caching. I've created a special windows user account with minimum permissions for just this task, and once set up, it works great (almost).
I can update the shared data source using SQL Mgt Studio or directly via the Report Manager to use a set of -windows- stored credentials. But I don't seem to be able to do the same via VS.NET 2005. I can only store -SQL- credentials, which I have no need to enable and no desire to add to my surface area.
The problem lies that every time I deploy any report that using that data source (which is nearly all of them), the data source is re-published, which wipes out the stored credentials and caching immediately stops.
I've tried messing with the XML directly, with no luck, and changing assorted advanced settings, but nothing seems to stick.
Obviously I can manually update the credentials each time I deploy something, but surely it seems that there must be a better way. Is there a way to either set the DS to use stored windows credentials, or just plain prevent the deployment of the DS every time a dependent report is published?
Suggestions?

Hi i have data on a Server in a different database which i like to access from within my ssis job.
I just need to look up information from one table on this database so i can references it. Is there a way of doing this is SSIS. Rather then me having to load the data from one database to another as the data may change.
i tried having 2 sources of data feed into a look up but that does not work..
Hi there,
On my home page I have several different folders to reports which require different data sources. the problem is that within these folders there are multiple copies of the same datasource. is it possible to store all of the datasources in one folder, one location? it would certainly be easier when changes to usernames and passwords need to be modified!
Thanks,

I searched and read about Data Sources and I'm seeing that there is no advantage in using it, which is what I found from playing around with it.
I expected that you would set a global connection in Data Sources and somehow link this to the things in your Connection Manager, giving you one place to switch from one environment to another. But reading the discussions here and playing around with it, this is not the case.
So, why is it there?
Next question.... another thing I gathered so far is something called "Configurations" that will do what I was describing above. Where do I do this?

Hello,
I've been working on an application that uploads an RDL to Reporting Services (through the SOAP webservice method CreateReport) programmatically. I'm having difficulty setting up the data source properties for my uploaded report. In particular the Data Source Credentials property.
The datasource for my report doesn't require credentials. By default after I upload the report to Reporting Services, the Data Source Credentials property is set to "Credentials supplied by the user running the report". How do I go about setting the Data Source Credentials property to "Credentials are not required" programmatically through the webservice?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
I manage to get the SSIS working. Now I would need to do these tasks.
I first want to get data from 2 different sql servers. What would be the best method to accomplish this? Both are in Sql Server 2005.
Secondly I want to make sure if any of the servers couldn't be found on the network or in any case the getting data task failed for any one of them the package won't continue and an email should be send to an email address.
Thirdly If everything is ok then I should combine both and generate one sequence no for them and save them on to another location and then generate a file with modified values.
Can anyone help me regarding these tasks?
Thank you

In brief, here is my quandary… I have a GridView on a page with some radio buttons, a couple of check boxes, some drop downs etc. And depending on what the user selects the Grid View needs to show different columns from the database…
The easiest way I have found to do this is to have a separate Data Object for each “view�, i.e. each variation of the checkboxes and radio buttons (which determine which dropdowns to use for the variables) and then bind the GridView to the specific Data Source at runtime…
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I have over 7 different data connections cluttering up the design view, and more to come and I feel like I am missing a better way to achieve the same results…
Does anyone have some advice for a major novice?
Here’s the beginning of a large set of nested ifs, if this is the way it’s done that’s fine too, I’ll just keep creating data sources, I just get the feeling there must be an easier way to do this..
protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue == "Vendor") {
if (CheckBox1.Checked == true) {
GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource4";
GridView2.DataBind();
TextBox1.Text = "Search";
} else {
GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource1";
GridView2.DataBind();
TextBox1.Text = "Search";
}
} else if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue == "Store Number")
{ GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource2";
GridView2.DataBind();}
else {
GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource3";
GridView2.DataBind();
TextBox1.Text = "Search";
}
}
Any advice for a major novice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Not sure if this is possible, here is the scope:
I have a vb program that calls a sp. My vb program connects to DataSource1, Catalog1 and to DataSource2, Catalog2. My sp resides in Catalog1 using a table from catalog1 and a table from catalog2.
Is this possible to do?
