Our Reporting Services environment uses Oracle as the data source. Based upon the user connecting to the database determines what rows they will see for various tables. How can we dynamically pass the username/password to the connection string? Background: Our users log into Active Directory and are assigned to a group. The AD group name is used to access a control table in Oracle that contains the database username/password for that group€™s connection to Oracle. All subsequent connections to Oracle will use the group€™s username/password from the control table. We have an ASP.NET application that works like this and stores the connection information in the session state. How can we do something similar with our connection in Reporting Services? Note: Our Oracle Database does not use Windows Integration.
We were able to use a dynamic connection string in the report designer, but once we deployed to the report server we are getting the following error: Error during processing of the ConnectString expression of datasource €˜Dynam€™. Has anyone experienced this, and how did you fix it?
I need to be able to deploy my updated website to many customers on a monthly basis and dont want to be mucking around changing the connection strings each time. Some of my web servers have multiple copies of my site and DB so each website will need a different connection string. The simplest method I could come up with is to use the Application Name field in IIS as it doesn't get overwritten by Visual Studio when I deploy the site. I am trying to write some code to dynamically change the connection string in the web config but cannot find any way of reading the Application Name field in IIS to use in altering the connection string. I'm using the Global.asax file to change the connection string before the DB gets called. I had tried embedding the DB in the website folder but it would overwrite the customers database.
In c# - how to pass uid,pwd,dbname and servername as input parameters from vs 2003 windows application (am calling the rdl file from reporting service 2005 web service) to sql server 2005 rdl files.
i have successfully implemented a dynamic connection string based on a dropdown list of environments (dev, test, prod). it works well during testing in the vs2005 ide; but once i deploy it to the rs server, it complains that the credentials are not stored in the rs server database and won't run the report.
as in most large organizations, the developers do not have control over the rs server, so i cannot manipulate rs config or web config files on the server side; so, how do i get past this obstacle?
Is there any way to Dynamically change(Based on User login) Connection String for a report data source from code behind. In My application each user may have different data base. I am using a single shared data source for all the report. Please give me a solution.
This method has worked beautifully for all my SSIS pkgs thus far.
Basically, I use a Script Task to derive the name of the newest file in a local directory. Then I save the name of the file to user a user variable, e.g. User::File.
Then, in my flat file properties > Expressions, I set "ConnectionString" to reference User::File.
However, when attempting to use this method with an Excel source, I get this error message:
Error at myPkg [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: The connection string format is not valid. It must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, separated by semicolons. This error occurs when a connection string with zero components is set on database connection manager. Error at myPkg: The result of the expression "@[User::Folder]+ @[User::File]" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
I have a package where I need a dynamic connection string for an Analysis Services connection manager.
I have implemented this successfully for a Text data source, and a SQL data source, but the same approach does not seem to be working for an AS connection.
I set some expressions for the AS connection manager (ServerName, InitialCatalog, even the entire ConnectionString itself), but they don't take. I don't get any errors, but the task processes the cubes for the AS connection as it was established at run time. The design time connection string changes don't appear to get evaluated. This seems to be an issue only for AS connections.
Hi, I'm a newbie to SSRS, and was wondering if anybody can shed light on a problem I have. I have a report which every client uses, but each client's data is held in its own database. Rather than create many reports, is it possible to create 1 report, which all can use, passing in the different datasource? I was thinking of a hidden parameter, passed by URL. Or maybe using the report viewer control in VS2005. Can anybody please help?
Hi all, I am able to set dynamic source for the text file(flat file) but i want to set the connection string (file name) to excel source dynamicaly. I have tryied lots of time by taking a variable in foreachloop container . Variable is itself able to pick the file name dynamicaly but whern i am tying to set connectionstring to excel source it gives error.
Steps that i have done: -
1) Drag foreachloop container 2) set directory,FileNameRetrieval,FileSpec 3) Made VariableMapping
4) Now drag a dataflow task in the foreachloop container 5) select excel source 6) When i am selecting varaible as connectin string from properties of excel connectin manager, i am getting this error : -
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------

I'm trying to setup a dynamic ole db connection using the SA user ID, it has to be dynamic because the server name will change and it has to be SA because we're pulling information from system databases that some users don't have access to.
If I setup a regular static connection using SA credentials it works like a charm of course. When I create an expression to use the User:erver variable it doesn't work, it throws an error message saying that "The login failed for user sa" among other things, I'm thiking that the sa's password is not being saved.
Where exactly do I place a password for dynamic connections using sql server users? On the connection string? On the password property of the source? Any ideas?
The problem I am facing is related to dynamic configuration of package one of the package connection is DB2 connection, I tried to set the expression connection string for that connection to the variable which contains the connection string to the DB2 but when I set connection the String property then i get the error message in transformation that password is missing, I dont want to write password in connection String for security reasons so I tried to save password in connection which is not helpful I am getting the same error message package security setting I changed to "Encrypt Sensitive Data with User Key" , anywayout to overcome this problem?
System information: 1. Our Reporting Server installed on a DB server. 2. We have one windows application which executes on the same server, which generates the reports snapshots. 3. One set of reports with single Shared data source
Scenario: We have many countries for which report history snapshots needs to be generated. The report information is stored in different databases named as database_CountryCode on the same DB server.
Questions: 1. We need to dynamically change the shared data source connection string to point to the respective country database, when generating the report for that particular country. --> We found out this can be accomplised by using parameterized connection string in report specific data sources in SQL 2005. Can we achive something similar in SQL 2003 Reports as well? 2. We also need to instantiate the reporting service web service in multiple threads, one for each country, where in each thread picks up the corresponding country code, changes the connection string and generates reports snapshots. Can this be accomplished? I know this goes against the entire idea of licensing, but my question is just about feasibility of this idea.
Addnl Info The CreateReportHistorySnapshot method of reportingservice.asmx returns a snapshotID, which is the timestamp of report snapshot creation. We tried creating the same report snapshot for the same country in 2 threads. Whenever the timestamp for both snapshots was same, only one report snapshot actually got created. Can this be overcome?
Requirement: When we create SSIS Pacakge using Businessinteligence studio.Each Source and Destination or whatever we using the Control required DB Connection.
we connect theDB server and Database Table through manaully .Instead of Manual i need dynamic Global varible for Connection String .How to achieve this connection string.
because suppose we create SSIS Package in Developement Server Latter We change the Server from Developement to Another Testing Server . at that time we dont requierd for changing manulay.any one pls reply me.
Same as in Dotnet we give configiration XML file .we gave the Connection strng. how to in SSIS we do?
I have packages that must generate log errors dynamically including time of execution and the name of the task.
I make it changing the properties of the connection inserting two expressions.
1.-I alter the File Usage Type to 1 to generate this files. 2.- I alter the connection string as: @[User::myvariable] +"constant_description"+ time description+ +".txt"
The time description is : (DT_STR,40,1252) DAY (GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) MONTH( GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) YEAR( GETDATE())+" + REPLACE( (DT_STR,10,1252) (DT_DBTIME) GETDATE(),":","_") But it is not the problem
In those packages I have one connector for all the tasks and in execution time it creates one file for each of the tasks.
The problem is the way I insert in the filename the task name.
I have a pre-execute event handler in each task that modifies a string variable( myvariable) appending the task name. When I execute de package it works great but when I only execute a task, the program do not enter in the event and do not put the task’s name.
How can I put that name without using that handler? There is another handler can I use to do it that happens before the system generates the new file name and after pre-execute? Anyone knows another way to do this kind of things?
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.

I have been trying to host my website on Go Daddy for about 3 weeks and I have cleared several problems but this one remains. I can get into the ASPNETDB database for doing logins , etc but I cant access my database called "PINEmgt". To try to understand where the problem is located,I built a very simple application without login controls and put on it one Detailform accessing a single line table "Signin". I continually get the error message I got with my real app :"The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. " There is only one connection string in my app -'PINEMgtConnectionString2'. When I run the app locally on my machine it works. After I move everything to Go Daddy, I get the error message and the following dump"
Line 24: </Fields> Line 25: </aspetailsView> Line 26: <aspqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStringsINEMgtConnectionString2 %>" Line 27: InsertCommand="INSERT INTO Signup(first_name, last_name, email, customer_id) VALUES (,,,)" Line 28: SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Signup]"></aspqlDataSource>
This is indeed the code from my single page app.
The dump is:
[InvalidOperationException: The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.] System.Web.Compilation.ConnectionStringsExpressionBuilder.GetConnectionString(String connectionStringName) +3039085 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlSqlDataSource1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:26 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlform1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:10 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlTree(default_aspx __ctrl) in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:1 ASP.default_aspx.FrameworkInitialize() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx.vb:912306 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +40 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest() +86 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestWithNoAssert(HttpContext context) +18 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +49 ASP.default_aspx.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +29 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +303 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64
After Googleing, asking Go Daddy for info (which they dont give) , etc for three weeks, I need serious mental help in the form of a solution of this problem. Your help with the problem or the name of a good mental health professional in eastern N.C. (maybe both) would be appreciated.

I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
This is the first time I have used SSIS, so please bear with the ignorance.
I have a super simple package that inserts x000's of rows into a temporary table. The data source is a file that the user will upload. I need to be able to tell the package what file to upload. I'm thinking the simplest thing would be to edit the connectionString property of the SourceConnectionFlatFile at runtime. Is this possible? What form should the file path be in (UNC, other)? And, are there any other considerations I should be aware of?
I need to write a SQL String to retrieve a field value from a table. The problem is that I need to supply the table name as a parameter. If I was just updating a table, I could build a dynamic SQL String and use Exec()
This is what I would write if the name of the table was known:
Select @RecordNo = MAx([VehicleID]) from Alto
This is what my dynamic SQl string looks like:
Select @SqlStatement = 'Select Max([VehicleID]) from ' + @TableName
So how do I run this statement and get the value it would return? Is there an equivalent to exec() that returns a value?
I'm trying to build a dynamic SQL string in the following SP, but the ' and "" character gives me trouble regarding the @strPosition. Position could be A,B,C etc. All kinds of suggestions are very welcome!

I'm building a select string on the fly based on criteria selected by the user. The user is given a data grid with Names and Check Boxes, where they can select multiple names and then either print those selections, or download them to excel. Everything is working fine, except when the Name has an ' in it. For example O'Kelly or St. John's. I know I can take all the 's out of the database, but I'd rather keep the data authentic. Is there a way to manipulate a select string built on the fly accounting for an embedded '? For example, I build Select * from table where Name IN ('Smith', 'Jones', 'Jordan', 'Bird', 'O'Kelly').... the ' in O'Kelly ends my string and my sql statement blows up. Any ideas? Sample Code:<code> For Each SelectedIndex In rsc.SelectedIndexes Counter=Counter + 1 dgAssociates.SelectedIndex = SelectedIndex If Counter = 1 then SelectString = "Select * from Associate_Table where AssociateID IN ('" & dgAssociates.SelectedItem.Cells(16).Text() & "'" Else SelectString &= ",'" & dgAssociates.SelectedItem.Cells(16).Text() & "'" End If Next If Counter > 0 then SelectString &= ")" End If</code>
