Double Click On The View Report Button To Get The Report To Render.
Jul 26, 2007
I've got a SQL Reporting Server 2000 SP2 report that takes 3 parameters. FromDT, ToDT, and LocationCD. The first two parameters are free form text fields that expect a date. The last one is a drop down box. For some reason, when I'm viewing the report through the standard reports folder on the report server I have to click the "View Report" button two times to get the report to render. Clicking it just once, doesn't seem to do anything. The report is a line graph.
There are default values in the FromDT and ToDT parameter fields.
Anyone have any ideas what would be causing the need for the second click?
I have some date criterias on my report that default and so I would like for the report not to display until the user clicks on the "view report" button.
Also, I would like to trap that button to send my own internal parameters to the report. How and where would I do that.
I'm running the report through report viewer and I have a subroutine that would refresh the report with my desired internal parameters. I just need to hook it up.
I have a report that I am building that consist of 4 multi-value selections from four different queries. When I choose "Select All" from all the drop downs and click on "View Reports", it blanks out all the selections from one of the drop downs.
Can someone please point me in the right direction on this problem. The report will run sometimes, but most of the time it will not.
The "View Report" button is relatively positioned so when the report content is wider than the screen size, it pushes it to the right such that the users have to scrool right to click on it again. Is there a way of setting the "View Report" button to a fixed position to eliminate this?
Has anyone encounted a problem with Reporting Services (2005) with the following scenario: A report with a dropdown parameter allowing a Select All choice -
If the selection list is fairly long and Select All is selected - if the user clicks the View Report button the selection list is completely reset (i.e. all items are unselected). This seems to happen if the user quickly clicks the View Report button immediately after clicking the Select All box on the parameter dropdown.
This happens inconsistently - some users experience it frequently while others do not see it at all (using the same parameter values, etc.)
I have several reports in a Power View Gallery. In Gallery view, most of the reports show the "Open New Excel Workbook", the "Create Power View Report", and the "Manage Data Refresh" buttons on the right side of the report list. Why would some reports not have these buttons available? In the attached image you can see one report with the buttons and one without the buttons.
I am having a problem where I have a Summary Report for a Region that lists out data for each community in that region (sample below):
West Region Count
Community 1 N/A
Community 2 14
Community 3 41
Community 4 25
Community 5 38
Community 6 67
Community 7 40
Community 8 52
I have navigation setup such that when I click on a Community (like Community_1 above), the detailed community report is called. I am passing CommunityID as a parameter to the community report. The community report has a CommunityID (literally) parameter setup. This seems fine, but when I click on a community from the Region report (for example, Community_1 above), the community report does not automatically get rendered, it makes me select a community before it renders. I must have something setup incorrectly, but can't figure it out. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I want the community report to be rendered based on the selected community without having to select it again.
Hello All, I have a report which throwing this error:
Cannot read the next data row for the data set ALERTSBYSERVERS. (rsErrorReadingNextDataRow) Get Online Help Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime
This report can be viewed on the Visual Studio, but is not rendering it on the Reporting console. Any ideas??
Can anybody tell me if it's possible to set a report to render directly to PDF please. I've found stuff on how to do it via a url but that's not how we want to do it.
I've got a complex report with many subreports that is running on a reporting services 2005 machine with sp2 installed. The report was working well, producing a 2800 page report in under 10 minutes. I made a change to an expression in a table's column header and one change to the detail and the report stopped working. It would just hang for hours with no messages in the logs.
I tried to simplify what the report server had to do by removing the sum's to the database side's stored proc but that didn't work. I finally managed to get the report to work by removing a totals section to a subreport. I've also had the same hanging condition occur when I merged some columns in the table. I also found a workaround for this problem.
Is anyone else finding problems like this? They don't seem to be code related.
Is there a limit to how complex a report can be in reporting services or the PDF rendering part of the process?
Hey Guys, I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this but I am trying to achieve the following: I have a row (In this case it is information on a fix) and on a button click I am trying to get it to "archive" it. At the moment I have it so that it it takes the current information and adds it to the archive table adding an archive date. The thing that I am struggling with is incrementing the version number. So, I need it to (in these steps I think) - Look for existance of the other entires of that ID, look for the version number that is related to the newest date of those knowledgeIDs and then add 1 to it. If that knowledgeID doesnt exist then add it as one. My current code is below: Thanks in Advance =) C# Codeprotected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {UserName = (string)Session["UserName"]; Label4.Text = UserName + " Is Current Logged In";UserType = (string)Session["UserType"];if ((Session["UserName"] != null) & (UserType == "Helpdesk")) {Response.Redirect("Accessrights.aspx"); }else if (Session["UserName"] == null) {Response.Redirect("Login.aspx"); } FixName = "default";Description = "default";File = "default"; ADate = myCalendar.TodaysDate.ToShortDateString(); AddDate = Convert.ToDateTime(ADate);myConnectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\HOF\App_Data\HOF.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True;"; }protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString); try { FixName = TextBox1.Text; SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("select * from Knowledge WHERE FixName like '%" + FixName + "%'", myConnection); myConnection.Open();SqlDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();if (myReader.HasRows) {while (myReader.Read()) { TextBox1.Text = myReader["FixName"].ToString();TextBox2.Text = myReader["Description"].ToString(); File = myReader["Location"].ToString();if (File != null) { TextBox3.Text = File; } else {TextBox3.Text = "There is no script avaliable"; }KnowledgeID = myReader["KnowledgeID"].ToString();Add = myReader["DateAdded"].ToString(); } myConnection.Close(); } else {TextBox1.Text = FixName + "Does not Exist. Please try again."; } }catch (Exception ex) { myConnection.Close(); } try Description = TextBox2.Text;File = Convert.ToString(FileUpload1.FileName);if (CheckBox1.Checked == true) {SAPPS = "True"; } else {SAPPS = "False"; } {SqlCommand mycommand2 = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Knowledge (FixName, Description, Location, DateAdded, DateArchived, Version, KnowledgeID) SET ('" + FixName + "','" + Description + "','" + File + "','" + Add + "','"+AddDate+"','" + SAPPS + "','"+I NEED A VALUE HERE+"','"+KnowledgeID+"')", myConnection);SqlDataAdapter myDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(mycommand2); sa = mycommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); myConnection.Close(); }catch (Exception ex) { myConnection.Close(); } }
Hi everyone, Im using SSRS 2000 and I was wondering is there a way to create a click button??? I have 2 reports linked with hyperlinks but I wanted to make it look more presentable. So, instead of just clicking on the words, I want them to click the button.
It appears to work fine on my end however on my clients end, whenever they try to print a report that displays perfectly within the report viewer to their printer by selecting the printer button in the report it never ends up printing.., however if they go into printer setup and change the page range to print from all pages to just maybe one page and then select the print button it seems to print fine..
The printer seems to receive the information as the light flashes but no page kick out when all pages is selected to print..
I am having a hard time finding the report path for the web report Viewer in visual studio 2005. I have tried entering the absoute path to the folder containing the reports. this gave the error that the path is invalid. I have also tried reletive paths using / and // in the front of the name for each report. these all fail. could someone please assist with finding the path to the reports? the reports reside on another server away from the one being used for development of the web site.
We are having a weird problem. User printing a report have to press the print button twice to print a report. It is causing some problem and failing in QA too :-(.
I need help figuring out what setting I need to tweak to get the correct calculations for the default aggregate attributes for the related entities of the one I am drilling into. Right now it is calculating the total across all for every row and not slicing by sub-customer.
Example:
I have a customer with a one-to-many relationship to incidents. Both have a count aggregate that is part of the default aggregates for the entity. There are 58 rows in my table. If I run a report with CustomerName and #Incidents, I correctly get different sub totals for each customer, totalling to 58 for the grand total. However, if I run a summary report on customers and drill into the customers using click through, the #Incidents is displayed but it is 58 for all customers - every row.
If I go into the defaultDetailAttributes of the Customer and add the #Incidents to it and run the previous test, then the correct number of incidents are shown for the customer, then the incorrect number of incidents follow (from getting the aggregates from the children).
The query generated is huge and I am sure it has something to do with my OptionalMany relationships between the tables, but I can't understand why...
I seem to be unable to pass parameters from a VB .Net application to Reporting Services.
Before I added the parameters to the query, I got all the rows back. So I know the application is basically working. Now that I have added the parameters, I get nothing.
I thought the SetExecutionParameters function would help, but my syntax is wrong and it fails.
I would appreciate any hint as to what step I am missing.
Report setup:

I am trying to redo an app that I built to gen reoprts from the command line in a specified format using RS 2000 to use RS 2005. However, I am having a problem using rs.exe to render a report. It looks like the rs.Render method no longer exists. It also looks like you can no longer get to these methods from the rs.exe environment.
Is it still possible to render reports using rs.exe? If so, can somebody please provide an example?
We have written a C# program in which we want to execute a SQL Report and return the report as a PDF
When we execute our code we get a message that System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The item '/production/Sudhir' cannot be found. ---> What Is syntax for ReportExecutionService.render(string report) How do we define the string report?
ReportService.ReportingService rs = new ReportService.ReportingService();
result = rs.Render("/production/Sudhir", "PDF", null, null, null, null, null, out encoding, out mimetype, out parametersUsed, out warnings, out streamids);
I have 2 reports that report on baiscally the same thing, just group differently.
Report 1 groups summary phone call stats by Department, Day, and Hour - which are all drop down options. This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see daily stats ... the daily stats can then be expanded to see the hourly stats.
Kinda Like: ------------------------- -Department 1 -10/1/2007 12:00 AM 1:00 AM +10/2/2007
+Department 2 -------------------------
Report 2 shows the same summary stats by department and extension - which is also a drop down option. This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see summary stats for each extension.
The queries for these reports run from the Management Studio in about 10 seconds each with the Report 1 query returning about 800 rows for the month of October 2007 and the Report 2 query returning about 30 rows for the same date range.
When the reports are rendered, Report 1 (with 800 rows) is rendered in about 20 seconds, while Report 2 (with only 30 rows) takes about 5 minutes to render.
The reports themselves are very similar, with the only difference being the grouping. It is weird that the report that returns the samller Dataset is actually taking longer to render.
One thing I did try was running the queries from the Data tab of the .rdl files (in visual studio) and the query for Report 2 took about 4 minutes to return data, while (as I mentioned above) it ran in about 10 seconds in Management Studio.
I want to display a varbinary field in the reports. the field contains value "<B> example </B>. When viewed in report viewer, it displays the value as such.
I know I can display the time that the report was generated, but can I display how LONG it took for the report to complete?
From when the first query was executed to the time all the data was returned and/or the time it took for the report to be rendered back to the end user?
I am trying to export a report into a format whiich I will then allow the user to make some final editions to prior to printing. Apparently LocalReport>Render does not support word format, however is supports others, what is the best format for me to export a report out into in order to then allow the user to edit it prior to printing, Ideally I would have just liked to lauch ms word and allow the user to edit the report if disired prior ro printing, but if I first export to .mhtml it seems to mess the column widths of the report up when opened in word..
We have a solution where we from a Windows application (using the report viewer control SP1) display some reports. Some of the reports uses a custom report item to display some graphics. This works fine on a lot of different installations, but now (for some reason) we have a problem at one customer.
We get strange GDI and transport errors when rendering these reports:
"Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed."
or
"Remote GDI stream version: 10.0.1. Expected version 10.0.1. Offset and length were out of bounds for the array or count is greater than the number of elements from the index to the end of the source collection."
These report work fine when you run them in the browser, but they never work in the report viewer control...
I feel like it must be easy and I'm missing something. Maybe I'm going the wrong way about it too. Basically I've written an append query that needs parameters, but I have no idea how to actually execute it. I'm coming from building apps in MS Access where all of this is really easy. I'm really enjoying learning some things, and did my first MS SQL trigger event tonight, which worked great. I though using a trigger may be an option here, but I need to control the "when" of this append a little more carefully and can't rely on an automated event. I can manually execute the query and it works, but have a button I could press on a form, with the queries on that form would be ideal. I'm basically moving partial data from one table to another. Any help? Again, this seems like it "should" be easy, but I'm not finding info on it. Please talk slowly, as again, I'm coming from Access.
Hi I wonder if it is possible to create a dataset in code and then feed it to a Reporting Svcs (RS) report and have it rendered on the data from this dataset. My collegues does this with Crystal and it would break my heart if I cant do this with (RS)... I have tried to find a solution but so far, no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
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.
