Can reports be set up to run and print automatically to specific printers on a nightly basis. What I'm trying to accomplish is, I have 6 users who need to see specific transaction reports for thier department each day. Of course I don't want them to see the other departments reports.. What options do I have....
Thank You!!
Hi,
I am new to SQL Reporting Services and was wondering how to set it up so that the reports are automatically e-mailed to recipients if that is possible.

Is it possible to schedule a report in SRS to print automatically the first of every month?

Hi All
I'm hoping someone here will be able to guide me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out a way of looping through table columns or a flat file in which there will be three parameters every time. With these parameters I am then wanting to run a report using two of these parameters to feed into the report and then email this out to an email address which would be my third parameter. Does anyone here have any idea how I would go about doing this?
Many thanks in advance.
Scenario:
I have 2 identical Analytics cubes, Cube 1 & 2, my reports point to Cube 1, when Cube 2 is refreshed the reports data source is manually repointed to the updated Cube 2. The following day the Cube 1 is refreshed and again the reports data source is edited and repointed back to Cube 1.
This ensures that if a cube build failes the reports aren't down.
To modify the data source I connect to Reporting Services using SSMS go to the Data source folder and manually edit the Data source.
I have looked through the Reporting database in SQL Server but didn't see anything that resembled the connection string for me to edit.
Are the connection strings for the Data sources stored in the Reporting Database ? Where can I find them?
Here is a Microsoft document that gave me the idea. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/bestpractice/scoqryas.mspx
It talks about changing the connections strings in the Web UI? But doesn't tell you how or point to any docs that do.
Is there a way to automate this and is anyone else running a similar setup.
I appreciate you help
Thanks

Good Morning,
I am trying to find a way of creating my Repoting Services reports of automatically refreshing once our ETL load has completd. I have created a process that creates a file is a particular directory once the data has completed loading however I am unsure how to make the report look for this file and then refresh the report.
Is this something that can be created?
Thanks in advance.

If all the parameters for a report have default values, the report runs automatically as soon as you open it. Is there a way to prevent this?

My problem is that there can be potentially more records than the screen can display.
Based on how i size my report the report can be a single page with a scroll bar or mutliple pages.
My question is: Is there any way of automatically looping through pages or to automatically scroll down through the records in SSRS
If anyone has any experience of something like this or suggest a work around in SSRS could you please let me know
Thanks in advance

I want to know if there is anyway to distribute jobs to a non system
administrator. In other words do they have to have System Admin rights, to be able to modify a job and run the job.
Sorry if this something beaten to death already...
What is/should be required for a target client machine to use and connect to a local copy of a SqlExpress database? Can't seem to get a db connection established to a different machine through a VB6 app. Installed the sql native client on the machine, but still can't connect. What am I missing, or do I have to distribute/install the entire SqlExpress client? Working fine from my development machine.

Suppose I create a DTS package (I am an old timer from SQL Server 2000 days but I suppose with 2005/2008 integration services there is a similar concept of package) which essentially reads data from a set of csv files, transforms it, and loads it into a SQL Server database. There are two scenarios:
i) The transformation involves applying functions on the columns before loading to the database.
ii) The transformation involves joins of data from multiple files.
My question is, can I run this DTS package on a machine which does NOT have SQL server installed for scenario i) and scenario ii) above? The idea is to distribute the actual processing across a set of computers to take off load from the main database server. If it can be done for either case then can u please explain how? Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm looking into adding OLAP Cubes as part of our software to be distributed with our OLTP and eventually OLAP databases.
Is there any books that deal with distributing OLAP Cubes and or security.
Our clients will have SQL Server with our databases.

Hi
I had replication set up and working but had to unbind the Pub/Sub and re add. Now on the ditribution task in Executive I am getting the following error
The last distributor job id and the last subscriber job id do not match. No jobs were available with a job id > 2147.
This is SQL Server 6.5 by the way.
Does anyone know what has caused this and what the solution is?

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server. I want to email my database and the diagram to a friend of mine so he can review my work.
I noticed that the sql server databases that I have downloaded had an extension of .msi. I don't know if I need to do something to make my database have the .msi extension before I can email it to my friend.
I have been able to copy and paste both the database and the log file to a folder on the desktop. I can't seem to open these though. I have right and left clicked on the
the databse file that is on my desktop. When I do both of these it prompts me to select a program to open it with. This is where I have problems. I go to the programs folder and then to the sql server folder hoping to be able to open it. I haven't been able to find anything to open it with. I have looked at every file in the folders but none seem to be appropriate.
I am using sql server 2005 express edition. Is this a limitation of the database that are made with this free edition?

We have a large SQL database, and we need to send out updated records to many clients' sites which are not connected.
We currently have a tool which looks at the audit log of changes we made, creates a file based on this, which is then emailed to our clients. They then run a tool we created to remerge the changes.
I suspect SQL server replication might make all this possible. Am I right? Can SQL server produce a file automatically which can be applied to a remote database to update the tables as appropriate? From looking at some replication stuff it looks to me like you have to have the servers on the same network.
I'm writing an application that uses Sql Express 2005 with Advanced Services (for fulltext indexing) and will be needing to deploy the database server. I just realized that the install is 230+MB. Is there a way to trim this down to just the components/features I need?
Thanks,
Eric
Hello all,
Thanks for all your great forum topics; it gives me a nice break from coding all day!
I know the answer to this question is in the documentation that comes with the SQL Server Express [9] download, but I've been unable to find it. What I was wondering is what the restrictions were if you were to incorporate the "free" SQL Server Express for selling or general distribution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

If I want to distribute a VB database programm using MSDE I have to install MSDE seperately which can be a challenge for some users. It there a way I could deploy SQL Express with my VB program so the user would not have to do a seperate install? Is this possible in Visual Studio 2003 or do I need 2005?
Thanks

Hi
I would like to know, if it is at all possible for Setup files of SQL Server 2005 to be distributed. We have clients who currently use our software which makes use SQL Server 2000. We are looking ahead at distributing our new version with SQL Server 2005 and would like create an Installation package that will upgrade the database engine to the Workgroup or Enterprise editions of SQL Server 2005. Are there any suggestions around this topic, we are looking at ways in making this task of upgrading the engine as streamlined and automated for our Client. Please include advise with regards to licensing.

hi i am new to mssql db stuff. I just developed my first VB.NET application and it uses a mssql database which is hosted locally on my development machine. I built the deployment msi file for my application which can be installed easily on client machine, but have no idea how to move the mssql db with it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhy shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.
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.

I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report.
I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.
Any help is appreciated
