This should be an easy one...
You get an email that contains a link to a report. The email was sent automatically as part of a subscription.
Does that link point to a snapshot that was taken when the report was run, or does clicking the link cause the report to re-run altogether?
Thanks,
Dan
This is a bit confusing but here goes: I need to access data in SAP via OLE DB. I can't go direct to the back end database (Oracle), we have to use RFC or BAPI calls to access the SAP data. That's part works, we have a DLL that accesses the SAP data we need.

Hi all,
I'm very very frustrated with this problem, I used to give maintenance to my database replication, disabling distribution and establishing the publications and subscriptions again from zero. This way metadata were clean up, and I was sure of that. When I migrated to MS SQL2005 I can't do this anymore, because drop rowguidcol at subscribers and publisher. The DB average size is 15 GB. And now this weekend I found the problem where the subscription try to apply the whole snapshot (15 GB! ).
I don't know what to do
PD Sorry for my english.
please help, when I access my report and click on the subscription tab, on the top page i only see the "new subscription" button. I also tried creating a data driven sub in sql manger but it was disbaled. please help how to correct this one.
thanks
Hello guys,
We have customers that are using web synchronization. Could you, please tell us when service pack for the bugs, discussed in thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=689428&SiteID=1 will be reliazed?
What replication participants should apply the service pack in a configuration where Subscriber (MS SQL 2005 Express) gets synchronized with Publisher/Diustributor (MS SQL 2005 Standard)?
Thanks.
Alexander.
I have a problem with a report set up to execute a snapshot and subscription on day 1 of each month. On July 1, it ran and was emailed to the user; on 8/1 it created the snapshot but did not send to the user because of a user error in the subscription, so it was sent manually. the parameters issues were corrected and on 9/1 the snapshot executed but the subscription did not send. In the subscription window, the last good email of a snapshot was sent 7/1. So again 9/1 was sent manually. After fixing the parameters shouldn't this have emailed the snapshot correctly on 9/1?
Do I need to delete this subscription and create a new one to get it to send on 10/1 now?
any suggestions?
the set up is now verified to be identical to other reports which created a snapshot and emailed successfully, the only difference is the original problem with only the 7/1 subscription the only one you see when you look at the "subscription tab" for this report in Reporting services:

Hi all,
I've been looking for the right stored procedure to create a push subscription for publication but i haven't had much luck so far. So I was wondering if you guys know which SP is appropriate, that'd be super great!! thanks guys!
note. the sp should run on the subscriber database.
thanks again
Hello Everyone,
I have a publication on a Sql 2000 (SP4) server. This publication has dynamic filtering enabled. What I want to do is create an interface which will generate a new dynamic snapshot based on filtering input from users. So far I can create the dynamic snapshot easy enough and I can see the filtered results on a Sql 2000 subscriber. However, there seems to be no way to configure a mobile database to point to the dynamic snapshot. This is easy to configure in a Sql 2000 subscription - the options are right there are on the properties page. Yet, it seems like the mobile database only points to the required unfiltered snapshot through the IIS proxy.
Is there any way to force the mobile database to use the dynamic snapshot instead?
Thanks,
Mike
I have set up a test subscription that sends an email that includes both the report and the url link to the report. However, the report does not render when user clicks on url link in subscription email. The parameter toolbar sorta appears at top of page but buttons are not showing correcty. I saw similiar issue posted in another forum but no one had resolved yet. We all noticed that the subscription email uses /reportserver folder instead of /Reports folder.
The report does appear fine in the email so I believe the problem is the URL.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve?
Thanks,
Tammy
The URL from Report Manager is
http://dss0vw037.svr.us.jpmchase.net/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fIOC+Metrics%2fDCS+Emergency+Contact+List
The URL in subscription email
http://dss0vw037.svr.us.jpmchase.net/reportserver?%2fIOC+Metrics%2fDCS+Emergency+Contact+List&rs%3aParameterLanguage=en-US
Hi there,
Some months ago, we migrated our SQL Server Reporting services server from Server 'Alpha' to server 'Bravo'. I thought we performed all of the steps needed to accomplish this task based on various Microsoft Articles that we identified. The fact that everything has been running fine (we thought) for the last several months confirmed our belief that everything was done.
Our problem found the other day is with a report 'Subscription'. The other day, a user called me and said their subscription is coming to them fine with the report displayed, but the link to re-run the report at the bottom of the e-mailed document doesn't work. I looked at the e-mail they received and found that the link had 'http://alpha/reportserver/...' instead of 'http://bravo/reportsserver/...'. Since 'Bravo' is the name of the new server, I new something was a miss. I tried creating a new subscription to a report and the result was the same 'http://alpha/reportserver/...' I've looked high and low in the SQL Reporting services configuration and can not figure out where I missed a change from 'Alpha' to 'Bravo'.
Has anyone seen anthing like this? If you can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric-
Hi Everyone,
I want to receive some reports by email every time the datawarehouse refreshes its content. The data warehouse is being refreshed on a daily basis but the exact time varies between 9:30 am and 11:30 am.
I have created the 4 reports in reporting services and set the execution property of each report to
Render this report from a report execution snapshot
and then created 4 subscriptions for email delivery based on processing option
When the report content is refreshed
In an Integration Services package I have 4 Script steps (VB.net) that perform an UpdateReportExececutionSnapshot for each of the reports.
The problem is that these steps fail in a random order every time the package runs. Sometimes they all run fine , but then one or two fail with timeout error. So the emails are not being sent.
I am currently using SQL Server 2005 SP2.
If anyone has an idea on this issue, please let me know.
Best Regards
Hi,
I am sure there is a thread about that one but I cannot find it.
I have a server which does not include the correct link with the subsciptions.
I create a subscription and ask to include the link to the reporet, I get the report with the machine name instead of the DNS name.
i.e. i get
The report is accessible at the following address:
http://atlanta/reportserver/...
instead of http://reporting.onsemi.com/reports/....
I tried to edit rswebapplication.config like that
<ReportServerUrl>reporting.onsemi.com</ReportServerUrl>
and rsreportserver.config like that
<DefaultHostName>onsemi.com</DefaultHostName>
but still cannot get the correct URL in the subscription.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Philippe
Hi All,
Is there any way to remove the My Subscription,Site Setting links on the main page in Report manager.And also our client wants SSRS reports to be seen by his customer over the internet.Anybody knows about this?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Anupama
When I set up an email subscription for a report, I can get the email notification if I only include a link to the report, but get the generic "Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information." error message when I attempt to include the actual report in the email; either as "Web Archive," or PDF." When I consult the ReportServer log file, I do not see any sort of exception that would indicate the true source of the error.
I have set the file security on the RSTempFiles folder to allow the IIS_WPG group to modify the folder, but when I looked into the RS config files, it looked as though SSRS wasn't configured to use temporary storage.
Any suggestions?

Hello.
I've been having an error when downloading the snapshot agent from our Publisher.
The articles selected are all the tables and all the stored procedures.
The Subscription is created programmatically and so is the synchronization. When trying to synchronize for the first time and when the subscriber tries to download the snapshot I have the following error:
Error messages:
The schema script 'Distrito_2.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001
The process could not read file 'GESZifuncAFRODITE$SILVITEST_GESZIF_GESZIF20070621182845Distrito_2.sch' due to OS error 3. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20143)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20143
The system cannot find the path specified.
(Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL3)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL3
The snapshot folder is at c:GESZifSnapshotFolder and the unc is \AfroditeSnapshot.
I'm getting a little desperate with this because we really need to propagate the schema changes around the subscribers.
Thanks in advance,
AVD
Hi
We have setup transactional replication between 2 databases on SQL Server 2000 SP3a (~70GB), using a concurrent snapshot (to prevent locking out of the live database) to initilaise the data and a pull subscription from the second database.
From analysing the msdistribution_history table in the distribution database on the subscriber it appears that the snapshot is being applied in a continuous loop to the subscriber database. Viewing the comments column in the msdistribution_history table we can see the following sequence of events occuring
Initialising
Applied script 'snapshot.pre'
Then it applies all the schema files .sch
Then it applies all the index files .idx
The it bulk copies the data in (bcp)
Then it creates the Primary Keys
Then it applies all the trigger files .trg
Then it applies all the referential integrity files .dri
These all complete successfully but then the process kicks off again immediately after reapplying the snapshot. We are unaware of any settings that may be causing this.
Any help on what maybe causing this would be much appreciated.
I hope someone can help as I have searched for a solution but been unable to find one as yet.
My problem is that after installing SharePoint V3.0 and amending the Report Server to <ServerName>:8080, as I don't yet wish to use integrated mode, everything works fine except email delivered subscriptions. The URL in the email body referencing the report only puts in <ServerName> etc. omitting the port number :8080. I have tried to find where this URL link is built-up from but have had no luck in the report manager, report services configuration and the config files, does anyone know where I need to look and if possible what I need to amend to have the link include :8080 after the servername portion of the URL. I can copy the URL and manually insert the port address and it works but this defeats the object of automated subscriptions.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but it is giving me a headache at the moment.
All answers gratefully received,
Andy
Hello all,
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.

Hi
I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.
Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.
The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.
I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.
All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.
I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Thanks

When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?
It seems to me that if a scheduled SSRS report subscription fails ( Status Message - An error has occurred during report processing) , that I actually need to delete the subscription and reconfigure it from scratch. The scheduled job doesn't try to run again automatically (say the next Monday on a weekly Monday schedule).
Is there a way to "reset" a failed subscription without have to recreate the entire subscription?
Thank you

Existing subscription already contains table included in the new subscription.
What are the possible causes of this merge replication error?
Could it be caused by a SQL Server Compact Edition User trying to sync their .sdf file after their subscription has already expired on the SQL Server?
Would you expect to see a different message if a SQL Server Compact Edition user tried to sync a subscriber database (.sdf file) with merge replication if it's been longer than the subscription retention period since their last sync?
I'm running SQL Server 2005 on a Server 2003 machine serving both our home network as well as a remote site through a point-to-point T1. While file transfer speeds are up to par, the remote site's interaction with SQL Server (Point of sale system) is very slow. After testing I am certain that it has nothing to do with the actual physical machine in place neither is it an issue with the program itself since speeds are as they are supposed to be over the home network lan. It seems that there might be a packet size issue or something of the sort. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Peter
How do you make a live link in SQL 7 to another database? I currently do such
things in Access 97 but how do you do it in SQL? I just want to keep a permanent live link to a table in another database.
Thank you in advance.

I am looking for a good introduction into the handling of certificates in SQL 2005.
I need to sign a procedure to allow it to access a dm view.
I do understand the theory and the syntax, but I have trouble coming up with an easy but still secure way to create these certificates on all customer servers without allowing misuse.
All articles I could find are going through creating a new database, setting up a certificate with or without password, signing an example proc and then dropping the database.
Non seems to care about the problems that occur later on during the life of a certificate.
Thanks
Hi:I have a site that is getting close to production. I am using SQL Server 2005 express and VWD express. Up to this point, I have been updating the live server by deleting the file and copying the MDF file from my development machine in its place. This clearly won't work once the site goes live - but I still expect to be doing a lot of upgrading of stored procedures etc. Can someone point me to a resource or make any suggestions that would help me in this regard?Thanks,Roger Swetnam

I need to create a DB version upgrade schema on client site that will preserve the existing data.
Provide the user with a patch that he can run on his database that wiil apply changes to his DB structure and keep the old data.
One approach that I am thinking of is to create a differential DB patch - a and apply that to the client database.
Is there any strategy any algorithm to do that. Can it be automated?
If there any accomplishments or approaches known on the subject?
I would greatly appreciate any ideas you can come up with.

I have a sql express database with a couple tables of information. I have a user modifying one of these tables with a data access page using Office Web Controls.
To backtrack a bit, the sql db used to be an access db. The same user modifying the data the same way. I also had a asp page making odbc calls to the access db to lookup information. But if the data access page was open, the odbc page would error. So i moved the data to sql.
Now, I'm getting ready to setup an application to make odbc calls to the sql db. I still want the user to modify the data using the DAP. Should I allow the user to modify the live data used for the app or should I make a copy of the data everytime its updated?
