Deploying Reports With InstallShield

Feb 6, 2008

I have a standard package of reports that need to be deployed by an installer (InstallShield) to an SSRS Server for use with our custom application. We are not in control of the environments where these reports will be deployed as this is a "commerical" application that gets deployed directly to customer sites. The installer may or may not be run on a machine that has SSRS installed on it therefore there is no guarantee that the deployment tools are available. What is the reccomended approach for deploying a "Standard Reports" package using an installer like InstallShield? I can't seem to find anything out there that deals with this kind of situation. Is anyone doing this?

Deploying Sub Reports

Jul 3, 2007

Just wondering what people do when they deploy sub reports and what is the 'best practise' for this. I'm just deploying them to the same folder as the main report and hiding them.



This is, to say the least, messy. As a user has to click 'Show Details' and they can see the sub report.



Is there a better way?



Thanks

Does it effect to my current reports?
If this is possible, can anyone tell me how to do this please?

Deploying Problem With Reports

Sep 21, 2007

Hi,

I have two aquestions.

1. How do I select data ovewrite option in SSRS? When I deploy a report i got a following error message.


Warning : Cannot deploy data source mydatasource to the server because it already exists and OverwriteDataSources is not specified.


2. When I try to snapshot a report on report manager, I get a error message.






"Credentials used to run this report are not stored

Then I went to Management Studio and selected the data source and open the report data source property box. I gave a login name and a password under credential stored securely on the server. Can this login name and password be random ones or do they come from smwhere else? Even After I did this still i get the error.


Thanks

Deploying Reports From BIDS Ask For Logon

Apr 29, 2008

I have found many references to this issue on the forum, but no solution that works in my case. I believe that I am lacking a fundamental understanding of a security issue so I will attempt to provide as much up front information as possible. I can publish SSRS reports from BIDS to my local computer but when I try and publish the same reports to a production server, I get a login dialog (which I cannot get passed). Here are the particulars. My environment is a home office. I have my computer (which works with the localhost designation) running on a workgroup network (not domain based). My server is another machine on the network (named €œserverone€?). Both machines are running Windows XP Professional. The BIDS project €œDebug€? property page has the TargetServerURL set to http://localhost/ReportServer. The €œProduction€? property page has the TargetServerURL set to http://serverone/ReportServer. I am logged on as an administrator but I cannot publish to the remote server (serverone) from my machine (localhost). I have also tried using the actual TCIP address of the server in place of the serverone name to no avail. I believe that my problem is related to authentication between the two SQL Server 2005 instances running on separate machines on a workgroup based network rather than a domain based network but I cannot find any information that might be useful under these circumstances. Now, here is my workaround (but this seems very wrong). From the logon dialog generated in BIDS, the user ID name was blank. When I attempted to remotely access the Report Manager on the server from my machine, IE tried to logon using the €œserverone/guest€? account. I added an administrator role to the guest account on the server and everything works as expected. As I mentioned before, this seems very wrong. Currently, both machines were set to use the €œlocal system€? account during setup, but I am not even sure what that means. I tried setting the server to use the €œNetwork Service€? account as suggested in one of the forum threads but that did not work. Any help here would be greatly appreciated as I am sure that allowing the €œGuest€? account to have €œAdministrator€? privileges is a bad idea.

Deploying Jump To Reports With Parameters

Oct 31, 2007



I have seem many messages about this, mostly over a year old, with no satisfying answer.
I have a set or reports that jump between each other, passing parameters, that work fine in VS 2005. (They are mostly based on sql server 2005 stored procedures).
When the reports are deployed, the one that jumps without a parameter works. The ones that pass parameters do not even 'activate'- that is, the text box to be clicked does not allow the user to click.
If I go to the report directly through the browser, it lists the missing parameters and the report does not render.
I am using IE7. All SP on IE and SQL are current.
Microsoft- will you be making this feature work anytime soon?
Thanks

Deploying Reports To MOSS 2007

Dec 22, 2006

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help me save the few remaining hairs on my head? I am trying to deploy reports created in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio to SharePoint running SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode. Whenever I try to deploy a report, the Reporting Services Login window pops up no matter which user/password I provide it won't accept any. I have the Reporting Services database set up to use Windows credentials and my Domain adminstrator account so I presume that this is user that I should be providing when prompted when deploying.

Can anyone give me any clues?

Thanks,

Michael

Deploying Reports/TargetServerURL - Beginner Question

Dec 19, 2006

I am trying to figure out Reporting Services and to to deploy results -- and really don't know what I'm doing. I'm going through some books and it looks like our TargetServerURL would either be http://SERVER NAME/reports or http://SERVER NAME/reportserver.

Either one will give me a prompt for user & pswd. When I enter my network user & password, I get this message: "You are not authorized to view this page" (It's set up for Windows authentication.) Any suggestions?

VS2003 - Deploying Reports - No Report Server Was Found At

Oct 19, 2006

Hi all,

We have many domain users who develop/deploy reports using VS2003 to our remote server at https://server/reportserver with no problems at all.

A single workstation on the domain that been used to develop reports cannot deploy though. The message looks fairly simple to diagnose "no report server was found at https://server/reportserver". I have checked dns and the servername resolves no problem. I have manaully edited and added the server to the hosts file also. I have updated and service packed all VS elements (VS2003 7.1.6030).

The server is contactable in all ways on this workstation, all ip/dns settings are the same as other domain workstations.

Can anyone point me in the direction of log files to look at, or if i am missing any basic options in VS. I have checked all deployment settings from other workstations.



Many Thanks!

Alex

Deploying Reports And Setting Up Reporting Services On A Clustered Server

Mar 19, 2007

Hi

I have two questions:

1)

I need to deploy reports to a server in Spain, which I do not have direct access to. Is there any way that I can simply deploy the reports to a server here, that I have access to, and then copy the reports to the server in Spain??? Or is there any other way? I cannot expect the customers in Spain to be able to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 themselves to deploy reports (they do not even have access to the tool).

2)

How do I set up reporting services on a clustered server? I have configured reporting services on both clusters, but somehow I cannot initialize both of them. Only on will be initialized at a time. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanx :-)

Installing SQL Server Through Merge Modules And InstallShield Developer 8

Hi all,

I am having a major issue installing SQL Server 2000 through InstallShield using the three merge modules sent with it (and available on the SQL Server CD) Being:

SQLBASE
SQLSVR
SQLSVR_RES

The install builds fine and runs right upto the end of the copying, where it pauses for a few seconds and comes back with a dialog saying

Could this be a permissions thing. I have set myself as the administrator on the machine and do have quite a few rights. The machine does not already have SQL Server on it as it is a fresh image of Windows 2000 (also tried on XP wth same result)

Any help on this would be most appreciated as all around me are stumped too.

Thanks in advance.
Mark.

Comparison Of SQL Server Reporting Services To Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos Or Other Options

Nov 5, 2007

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:

re: Reporting Options with SQL Server

I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:

Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?

I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?

Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS Reports

Mar 27, 2008


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,

Patrick Conway

Copy Reports From Other Users My Reports Folder

Aug 7, 2007

Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.

The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.


Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help.
