Hi,
I need to write a report which will run based on the user's input for Server Group. Meaning, if the user wants the report to be run for one say, UAT group, the report (and therefore the stored procedure) should be executed against UAT server. Or, if the user wants it to be run on the Production machine, the stored procedure should be executed on the Production Server. Assume that both UAT and Production servers are in the same domain to rule out any authentication issue.
I think one way of doing it is to create a linked server on one server which we use to connect via the Report Manager. So, whatever Server Group is selected based on that the SP will be executed on that respective Server Group's Server, since in the query we will have given full names of the tables that we use.
But, I strongly suspect, that having linked servers will not be accepted since it requires that the server owners maintain that. So, I was thinking if there is any other way of achieving this. If anyone knows, please help me with this.

I'm working on a script to convert data from one software packageto another. Greatly simplified, it looks something likecreate procedure import_widget asbegininsert into our_widget (foo, bar)select baz, quux from their_db.dbo.their_widgetendgoThe problem is that the name of the source database varies fromone system to another, so I want to pass the database name as aparameter. I think I could do the following, but is there abetter way to go about it?create procedure import_widget (@db_name sysname) asbeginexec 'create view their_widget as select * from '+ @db_name + '.dbo.their_widget'insert into our_widget (foo, bar)select baz, quux from their_widgetdrop view their_widgetendgo
I've got a cube in SSAS 2205 with some financial measures that I want to appear conditionally in an MDX query. Here's what I mean...
The cube measures I'm interested in are actual revenue, forecast revenue and budget revenue. The dimension I'm reporting across is the [Time].[month] member. The report I'm trying to create with this query has each month across the top. But the headers show actual revenue if the current reporting month is on or before the month in question. For future months, we show the forcast revenue if there is any. For any other future revenue, we show the budget measures. So a sample report for April would have columns like...
Code SnippetJanuary February March April May June July August September Actual Actual Actual Actual Forecast Forecast Forecast Budget Budget
I need to conditionally bring back the right measure and have the measure name (e.g., column header) indicate if it's an actual, forecast or budget value.
Hi, I have to choose a particular column from a table whenever a condition met. That means i have to use the column in the select query whenever the condition met otherwise i have to create a dummy column with the same column name. I tried to use the following sample query. Eg: Create table temp (test_id int, test varchar(100))
Declare @var varchar(100) Set @Var='Hi' Select case when @Var='HI' then "None" else Test_new End as Test from Temp
But it throw error as "Invalid column 'Test_new' "
As per my situation the Test_new column will be available in temp table whenever the condition is not met.So when @var<>'HI' i have to get the details of the test_new column otherwise i have to create a dummy column with the same name.
Hey, I have a search form with a selectbox. This selectbox contains the columnnames.I want when I put a text in a textbox and select a value in the selectbox and click submit that it search database.The Columnnames I put in a session. If you see I have put in the querystring as columnname @sescolumn which I have initialised as asp:sessionparameter.But it gives no results. When I put @sescolumn between [] like normal columnnames are it doesn't work also. Can someon put my on the right path?

I Hope someone can help me out with this problem.. its pretty NB.
I have a pair of multivalued parameters. So, parent and child... the child needs to get its selection based on the selection made by the user on the parent parameter ( the child parameter is hidden).
Fictional values: Parent Parameter: SelectAll, ALL , 1 , 2 Child Parameter: Home, Work, Play
If user selects "ALL" from the parent parameter I need Home and Play selected.
My idea was this: =iif(Parameters!Parent.Value(1) = "All","Home,Play") <-- in Available values.
However, the dataset that reads this value does not like the coma delimited string. This dataset is a cube created dataset, reading the child parameter.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Neil
I am writing a package where the user uploads a flat file to a web folder. I need to automate this package to run everytime it sees a new file.
How can I implement this?
Can I make a call to a package or a sql server job to run from .net 2.0?
Do I need to use a service broker to look for a new file and run the package or a stored proc....I am looking for an async process where user doesnt have to wait for the package to run as it involves data validation of flat file and its huge...
Here is the issue I'm having. I am writing a stored procedure that takes a couple of parameters. Each one is the value within a specific column in one table (i.e., @part = 'o-ring' or @sub_assembly = 'hydraulic ram'). Needless to say, the columns form a hierarchy. What I am trying to achieve is to allow the user to specify one of the parameters and get a count for all records where the specified value is in the corresponding column. So, if the user puts in the parameter @part = 'o-ring', I want it to know that the where clause for the select statement should look for o-ring in the part column and not the sub_assembly column. Here is what I am trying to do, which isn't working.
IF(@sub_assembly = NULL) BEGIN IF(@part = NULL) BEGIN PRINT 'This is an error. You must have at least a part' END ELSE BEGIN SET @querycolumn = 'Part' SET @queryvalue = @part END END ELSE BEGIN SET @querycolumn = 'SubAssembly' SET @queryvalue = @sub_assembly END
SELECT SubAssembly, Part, COUNT(RecordID) FROM Table WHERE @querycolumn = @queryvalue GROUP BY SubAssembly, Part ORDER BY SubAssembly, Part
The problem is that I'm getting an error when I try to use @querycolumn to supply the column name to the WHERE clause. Any ideas or suggestions?
Does anyone know if there is a way to dynamically set the chart type (i.e. pie, line, column, etc.) for your report in SSRS? I want the customer to be able to chose which type of chart they'd like to see.
I've looked all over the Internet and can't find anything.
Any help would be appreciated. Alan
Clarification: I guess I should clarify a little. I am using an ASP.NET 2.0 page written in C# and using a ReportViewer control.
More Clarification: The ReportViewer displays an rdlc.
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc. And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1
Hi, I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.
So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:
1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses. 2. Report is generated and displayed on screen. 3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.
SQL Server 2000 SP4 to multiple SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on PDAs. My DB on SQL2k is published with a single dynamic row filter using host_name() on my 'parent' table and also join filters from parent to child tables. The row filter uses joins to other tables elsewhere that are not published to evaluate what data is allowed through the filter.
E.g. Published parent table that contains suppliers names, etc. while child table is suppliers' products. The filter queries host_name(s) linked to suppliers in unpublished table elsewhere.
First initial sync with snapshot is correct and as I expected - PDA receives only the data from parent (and thus child tables) that matches the row filter for the host_name provided.
However - in my scenario host_name <--> suppliers may later be updated E.g. more suppliers assigned to a PDA for use or vice versa. But when I merge the mobile DB, the new data is not downloaded? Tried re-running snapshot, etc., no change.
Question: I thought the filters would remain dynamic and be applied on each sync?
I run a 'harmless' update on parent table using TSQL e.g. "update table set 'X' = 'X'" and re-sync. Now the new parent records are downloaded - but the child records are not!
Question: I wonder why if parent records are supplied, why not child records?
If I delete existing DB and sync new, I get the updated snapshot and all is well - until more data added back at server...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible (or not) to have dynamic filters run during second or subsequent merge?

Hi, First off, let me state that i am new to ASP.net... and have had to hit the ground running... I have looked on the net but have not found a suitable explanation on how to do this. Let me explain what i am trying to do: In my aspx page, i have 2 dropdown boxes where the user will select a skill catagory, and then a skill. Based on that selection, i would like to compute what the Service line will be. There is a primary and foreign key on CatID on the skills and SkillCat tables. This data would need to be inserted into the another table aswell, and this would need to go into a report later. How do i go about doing this? Some examples would be greatly appreciated. And if you know of a good link, please post it for me. Skills Table

I have a products database. I want to select product details for items having distinct style codes. IE if there are 20 products that different from one another in some way, and 3 different style numbers throughout them, I want to end up with 3 products selected. I don't care which ones, as long as i have a sample product for each style. I've attemped to use GROUP BY to do this, but it's not giving me what I want. I managed to get right number of products, but the query seems to have mixed and matched the fields together in an undesireable way. I guess this kinda makes sense, since providing aggregate functions for each of the extra fields is necessary. SO THE QUESTION IS: How do I select (number of distinct styles) products, and still keep the records in tact as they should be?
Here is a sample...
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Min(team) as team, min(pict) as pict, min(colors) as colors, min(league) as league, min(product_description) as product_description, min(category) as category, min(subcategory) as subcategory, min(style) as style FROM prods WHERE (style='style1' or style='style2' or style='style3') AND league='leaguex' AND soldout='' GROUP by style ORDER by style
