i need help with deployment of reports (SSRS 2005). we need to deploy many reports (more then 100) on the production everytime we make changes in them.
"the problem is we cannot install visual studio on the server to open the project and use the deploy option from it" i tried using the script - PublishSampleReports.rss
but everytime i run i need to go and manully configure the report to map the shared datasource to it. any way to pass the information in the script itself, or is there any smart way to deploy on production.
Hello All, I am having an issue deploying reports to my Production server via VS 2003 IDE.
The scenario is that I have a dev box with all 3 components installed on the same server(VS 2003, SQL 2000, sp3 , IIS and Report Server). I have no problem deploying to this Dev server. Now I need to deploy them to a different server(Release) in a different Domain. The Release implementation is, IIS and Report Services installed on one Server and SQL instance on a different server , but both IIS and SQL server are in the same domain. So in my VS 2003 IDE I choose a project/solution and then right click to Deploy I get an error " A connection could not be made to the report server <server URL>". My Solution Property page "Target Server URL " is pointed to this Release server virtual directory(http://Release:81/Reports). This Relase IIS web server has different web site, I installed the RS in the Default website. I can browse RS server(http://Release:81/Reports) from anywhere via web and get to Site settings and all, But I cannot deploy from VS2003. Am I missing anything? Earlier I used to get at least log-in credentials to enter my UID and PW, as I provide them I never got anything back, it keeps asking me for UID and PW. Now I straight away get "Conection could not be made" error.
This seems like a rather simple questions that I've hesitated posting for a day now, but as of yet I can't really find an answer through my searches online.
My SSIS package is using a couple of the Konesans Transforms, this worked fine on my development box with my dev SQL server. The time has come now to deploy my package to my production SQL server. The instructions on installing the transforms on my dev box all uses Visual Studio to add the components.
Is there a way to deploy 3rd party (own my own) SSIS tasks with the package? Does it require a seperate install? How can I do it without Visual Studio?
I have successfully developed a Transact-SQL stored procedure which calls a CLR function, which calls a web service. I am using a Visual Studio 2005 SQL Server Project to perform the necessary magic.
Is there a neat way to deploy this stuff to a production server?
It is bad enough deploying the sp and function, but the web server proxy also needs to be changed to refer to the production web service.
I have installed SSRS on my local machine with all default settings. Report manager and report server and reportserver data base and reportservertempDB all are in my local machine. Now I have already created few reports. but now the company wants to deploy them to the main server. Now can I do this? Do I have to chage the report configuration settings. Does it effect to my current reports? If this is possible, can anyone tell me how to do this please?
Was wondering, when performance changes have been made to existing code and deployed to a production environment, should anything be done regarding clearing old cache?
Is there a risk of the new code picking up cold or wrong cached query plans etc?
I know you can't clear the cache for the full system as it will affect everything else. But are the ways to target the changes? I.E run the new code with an OPTION (RECOMPILE) few times to build up new clean plans for it to use?
Or will the update stats see it is using bad plans and then start creating new clean ones over time?
I need to move my packages from development to production. In the development the database name is dev and in producton it is prod.
The username passwords are also different .
When i deploy my packages in production i dont think so it will work any pointers on how to make these things configurable like when the person deploying this package runs it he is prompted for the connection string and username and password
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.
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).

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?
We have a system here where we develop SSIS packages on a development server. I am trying to figure out the cleanest way to promote these changes to a production server where stored procedures/tables that are used in the package are not deployed yet.
When I switch the connection in the package to the production server there are alot of objects in the package that are "invalidated" because they are trying to verify existence of tables/columns. One example is outputing the results of a query to a text file. The text file destination gets a red X on it because it cant grab the columns from the source query (because that stored procedure doesnt exist yet)
Is there a best practices or something on how to deploy packages to a production system? I have tried turning off "ValidateExternalMetaData" with no success.
I would like to deploy several reports to production server, Do i need to install reporting services entire software in order to run the reports or is it possible to just have runtime files installed on it to run the reports.
please help, i have almost 100 reports to be deployed on this server which is located in other country.
Thanks for the helpful information.
(i am using SQL server 2005 / reporting services 2005.)
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.
I have created a report, and want to now deploy it to the Report Server. Each time I try to do that, I get a Reporting Services Log In screen. I have no idea what to input, having tried my windows authentication and sa account without sucess. Is there something else that I need to set up so I can deploy my reports? Thanks in advance!
I want to programatically deploy the report in VS2005 environment,ie.from an asp.net page if i click deploy report Button ,the report should be deployed into the report server automatically.So that i can view the report in report server. the input to the asp page would be the.rdl file... If anyone could help then it would be good.
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.
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?
I am trying to deploy reports through visual studio. In the Target server URL, specified the url of the report server as http://<localhost>:<portnumber>/reportserver/Shared Documents/. But When i deploy it asks for username and password. when i provide them, again login screen appears. Finally deployment fails when i press cancel.
While deploying reports on the reports server, it is asking to supply user name and password. When I entered the same, it didn't accept them. What do I need to do? Is there any specific setting which I need to configure?
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 €śserverone€?). Both machines are running Windows XP Professional. The BIDS project €śDebug€? property page has the TargetServerURL set to http://localhost/ReportServer. The €śProduction€? 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 €śserverone/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 €ślocal system€? account during setup, but I am not even sure what that means. I tried setting the server to use the €śNetwork 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 €śGuest€? account to have €śAdministrator€? privileges is a bad idea.
I have created some reports in BIDS and saved them to a folder in my m/c (without deploying them) . i want to deploy that to the report server through C# code.
i can deploy that onto any Report Server. For that I will have to change the datasource connection string.
Is there a way to achieve this. Please let me know if it is there.
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
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.
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?
Hi All, we are changing some reports from English to German...some of the reports that we have changed generate the message 'An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details.'
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.
Hi Well this is my first post on this forum, in fact I have not even used SQL Server yet!
My question is.... I have been asked to produce an application which will be a VB6 application with an SQL Server database behind it. I would like to be able to put the application along with the database on to a CD and run them directly from the CD once it is distributed. So the question I guess is can this be done with SQL Server i.e. can a table be exported in a format which will allow it to be queried in a standalone fashion? Maybe I have not explained myself properly but I welcome any questions which will help clarify my problem.
Can someone show me, or direct me, to a source, that shows me how, and what to change, when deploying a website from a development server running Sql Ex to a production server running Sql server 2005. I can’t get the sites to run under Sql server 2005.
They work in Sql Ex. what must I change? The connection string, to what format? and what else? I attached the dB to Sql 2005 and browsed the content in the Sql manager. But can’t get the aspx pages to work on the server.
Since from using my local host to view my website, I am assuming I already have SQL Server installed on my computer? Is it possible to have users access my website files directly onto there own computer, say if they type my ip address or domain name into their address bar? What I am actually wanting to do is to host my website from my home computer... Any ideas, or good slash easy to understand articles on how to do this?
Guys, Let me first give you a little bit of background...
One of my goals for this year is to migrate all DTS packages to SSIS, those DTS packages are used across the company by different groups/users.
Since I'm still not that familiar with SSIS and like many here, was well used to the enterprise manager view (all DTS packages on 1 single place), I'm unsure on how to structure my SSIS packages in a way that I could break it down by group let's say. The way that I'm doing right now is: I'm creating a solution for each group and creating the SSIS packages (.dtsx) relative to that group inside each solution, that's pretty easy. Now, the next thing that I'll have to figure out (and hope you guys can help) is how to deploy them structured this way and how to handle these packages to my end users. Basically, how do I handle "Group A" all of their SSIS packages? Will they have to open the package in debug mode on VS every time they need to execute a package?
I have developed a windows mobile 5.0 application that is currently syncing with sql server 2005. I want to deploy the application with sql server express for the client. What do I need to do to make this work?
