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 :-)

Thought I'd help some folks with rs and dates..
here is some scalar valued functions:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_date_only] (@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
RETURN dateadd(day, DateDiff(day, 0, GetDate()), 0)
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_month_end] (@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
RETURN dateadd(ms, -3, dateadd (m,datediff(m,0,
dateadd(m,1,@date)),0))
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_month_start] (@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
RETURN dateadd(m,datediff(m,0, @date),0)
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_today_end] (@today datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
return dateadd(ms, -3, datediff(d,0,dateadd(d,1,@today)))
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_today_noon](@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime
BEGIN
RETURN DATEADD(hh, 12, DATEADD(d,DATEDIFF(d,0, @date),0))
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_today_start] (@today datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
return dateadd(day, 0, datediff(d,0,@today))
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_tomorrow_noon](@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime
BEGIN
RETURN DATEADD(hh, 12, DATEADD(d,DATEDIFF(d,-1, @date),0))
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_week_end] (@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
return dateadd(yyyy, datepart(yyyy,
dateadd(weekday,7-datepart(weekday, @date),@date))-1900, 0)
+ dateadd(ms, -3,
dateadd(dy, datepart(dy,
dateadd(weekday,7-datepart(weekday, @date),@date)),0) )
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_week_start] (@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
return dateadd(yyyy, datepart(yyyy,
dateadd(weekday,1-datepart(weekday, @date),@date))-1900, 0)
+ dateadd(dy, datepart(dy,
dateadd(weekday,1-datepart(weekday, @date),@date))-1,0)
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_weekday_end] (@weekday tinyint,
@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
return dateadd(yyyy, datepart(yyyy,
dateadd(weekday,@weekday-
datepart(weekday, @date),@date))-1900, 0)
+ dateadd(ms, -3,
dateadd(dy, datepart(dy,
dateadd(weekday,@weekday-datepart(weekday, @date),
@date)),0) )
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_weekday_start] (@weekday tinyint,
@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
return dateadd(yyyy, datepart(yyyy,
dateadd(weekday,@weekday-
datepart(weekday, @date),@date))-1900, 0)
+ dateadd(dy, datepart(dy,
dateadd(weekday,@weekday-datepart(weekday, @date),
@date))-1,0)
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_year_start] (@date datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
RETURN DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(year,0, @date),0)
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_yesterday_end] (@today datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
return dateadd(ms, -3, datediff(d,0,@today))
END
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_yesterday_start] (@today datetime)
RETURNS datetime AS
BEGIN
RETURN dateadd(day, -1, datediff(d,0,@today))
END
Then create a Table-Valued Function like so:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udfCommonDates] (@date datetime)
RETURNS @t table (week_start datetime,
week_end datetime,
lastweek_start datetime,
lastweek_end datetime,
month_start datetime,
month_end datetime,
lastmonth_start datetime,
lastmonth_end datetime,
yesterday_start datetime,
yesterday_end datetime,
today_start datetime,
today_end datetime,
thisweek_monday_start datetime,
thisweek_monday_end datetime,
year_start datetime,
year_end datetime,
tomorrow_noon datetime,
today_noon datetime,
date_only datetime)
BEGIN
INSERT @t
SELECT
dbo.get_week_start ( @date ) AS week_start,
dbo.get_week_end ( @date ) AS week_end,
dbo.get_week_start ( DATEADD(d, -7, @date ) ) AS lastweek_start,
dbo.get_week_end ( DATEADD(d, -7, @date ) ) AS lastweek_end,
dbo.get_month_start( @date ) AS month_start,
dbo.get_month_end ( @date ) AS month_end,
dbo.get_month_start ( DATEADD(m,-1, @date) ) AS lastmonth_start,
dbo.get_month_end ( DATEADD(m,-1,@date) ) AS lastmonth_end,
dbo.get_yesterday_start ( @date ) AS yesterday_start,
dbo.get_yesterday_end ( @date ) AS yesterday_end,
dbo.get_today_start (@date) AS today_start,
dbo.get_today_end ( @date ) AS today_end,
dbo.get_weekday_start(1,@date) AS thisweek_monday_start,
dbo.get_weekday_end(1,@date) AS thisweek_monday_end,
dbo.get_year_start(@date) AS year_start,
dbo.get_year_end(@date) AS year_end,
dbo.get_tomorrow_noon(@date) AS TomorrowNoon,
dbo.get_today_noon(@date) AS TodayNoon,
dbo.get_date_only(@date) AS DateOnly
RETURN
END
Now the RS folks might be thinking but how does this help me as I need a dataset and a dataset can only be based on a Stored Procedure or a direct table. No problem create the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspCommonDates] AS
begin
set datefirst 1
declare @date datetime
set @date = getdate()
select * from dbo.udfCommonDates(@date)
end
Now you've got a stored procedure to use as a dataset...Now in reporting services add a new dataset:
Now go to the report parameters section of the report:
Now pick that dataset dsFunctions (or whatever you called it) and then pick any of the value fields from the scalar functions such as:
Now when you run the report it uses the scalars:
If you have questions feel free to ask :).
Hope this helps someone
