Why would some of my servers that I have registered not show a green arrow (or any connection status for that matter). It's just a blank white circle. Is there some sort of connection error happening between me and the server?
It's sort of annoying to click on these servers and have the error "SQL Server xxxx is not known to be running. Are you sure you wish to connect?" Any way to get around that?
Thanks..
Hi,
I receive blanks for a column called value and i need to represent it as a blank or NA into a colum whose datatype is float in the datawarehouse.
how is this possible because in current schenario a blank is being converted to 0
which is not the right thing.
i would like to retain the blank in conversion from char to float ,
please explain me if it can be done or how to overcome this issue.
Thanks
Is there any way to configure a notification icon in the start tray in Express 2005 (like we had in SQL Server 2000) with a little green (or red) arrow (or dot) to indicate whether the server's up (or down)?

Earlier versions of SQL had an icon in the system tray - which was very useful. I cannot seem to find how you activate this in 2005.
Also you could schedule a job MSDE 2000 to, say, backup a database. I can't find how you do this in SQL Express.
Can anybody tell me what the following icon means against the SQL Server Agent in EM. I'll describe as best as I can:
Its the usual pc tower picture, but instead of the usual green arrow or red square at the bottom, I'm getting what looks like a window (its very small, I can't tell exactly).
When I see this icon, I can't see or change the Service Startup Account under properties and EM doesn't seem to know if the service is stopped or started (I get the option to do either - although both fail if I try them)
Any help would be appreciated
Regards

Is there any way to change the interactive sorting icon or even adjust it? When I add the functionality to a column, it skews the column heading to make room for it. This means that reports that previously displayed properly no longer look correct. If I adjust the width of the report to allow room for the icon, then the report overflows its boundary in terms of printing.
Also, the icon does not display evenly all the time. Sometimes, it displays directly next to the text and sometimes it is off to the right more.
I have seen the red down arrow for disabled, but I don't know what this means?
(I can't post an image is there a way to upload an image?)
It appears to be a little red tornado or down pin?
Hi everyone,
This is a beginner's question: I know that in order to run a package i need to press ctrl_f5 but i also know that there should be an icon (dimmed green arrow) to do that but i cant find it on the toolbar! I only see the "debug" green arrow. Can anyone help me find the lost "play" (or "run") green arrow ? on which toolbar is it situated ?
Thanks
In SQL 2005 when a database is in suspect mode there is no obvious way to tell (via SSMS). In SQL 2000 the word "suspect" was displayed (via Enterprise Manager) next to the database, and the respective database icon was grayed out. Why was this behavior changed for SQL 2005? From a disaster recovery standpoint, it is very important to see immediately if a database is in suspect mode.
View 9 Replies View Related In my installation of RS 2005 when I click the Refresh Icon on a report the report doesnt update. But when I click the "View Report" button it does.
For example, if I change the parameters on the report and click the refresh icon the report seems to flicker as if it was rfreshing but the report data remains the same, even the paramaters in the report remain the same (I have the parameters that are selected in the report header)
Anyone have the same problem or know the solution?
Hi all,
I apologize if this question has already been asked a dozen times, I ran a search and came up with nothing, soooo...
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 + SQL Management Studio Express.
I attached all my old databases, and setup named pips, tcp/ip, etc, but for some reason, I don't see a SQL 2005 Express Icon in the system tray to indicate to me if the Server is running or not.
now I undestand Express doesn't come with Agent tools, but where on earth is my tray icon? Do I need to download the 'advanced reporting tools' version instead? (about 200mb+)
TIA,
Ray Bolander

In EM, the left pane shows servers, etc. What is the meaning of the red
squiggly line which can apprear on the server icon?
Thanks.
My co-worker, no idiot, says that the tooltip in the system tray forthe SS2000 icon usually shows the computer and server, but once in awhile shows the password (two slashes and the password).Is this a known bug of some sort? It really shouldn't be showing hispassword. It's likely the developer edition, but still, that isn'tgood.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am getting a general protection fault when pressing the print icon in Reporting Services website.
Hi I found this article:
http://database.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sql-server-l/reporting-services-2005-print-icon-causes-machine-to-reboot-1592477
but I can't figure ou how to "remove" the RSClientPrint Class add-on in IE 6.
P.S.
Why does something as simple as printing need to be an ActiveX control? There are all kinds of issues revolving around pushing this out using SMS for users without local admin permission.
So i finally figured out how to create custom transform and add an icon to it. However - when i added the component to toolbox it appears as a file icon (when i didnt have icon it appeared as a blue box) - in the data flow designer it appears as the correct image.
From BOL wrote:"The Data Flow toolbox uses the 16x16, 16-color image type, while
the design surface of the data flow tab uses the 32x32, 16-color image
type. Both are default image types for icons created using Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005."
I assume this has something to do with it - my ico is default 32x32 - however, what would be the way to fix it?
I am adding some KPI-style graphics to a report (BIDS 2005) and for consistency I would like to use the same icons that are available in the Excel 2007 icon sets that are used for conditional formatting in spreadsheets - there's no point in having users learn another set of icons. Are these graphics available anywhere so they can be added as embedded images in a report? Am I missing some other way to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Have two servers, one production server and one backup server. Both are Windows 2003 Server having SQL Server 2000 installed.
I have created replication on these servers using a wizard. I then generated SQL scripts to delete and create the replication. These scripts work well, but to test to remove the replication on both servers I used sp_removedbreplication 'DBNAME' on both servers. Not all were removed and on Replication Monitor and sub items plus Log Reader Agent there were added an icon, a red 'X' as in error. The replication seems to work.
Does anyone have any idea on why this happened and what I can do about it. It is not very nice to have errors in replication on a customers servers.
Grateful for answers
Best,

Hi All
I installed the following in order:
1. .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable
2. .NET Framework Version 1.1 Software Development Kit (SDK)
3. MSDE 2000 Rel A
In the command window I changed to the directory where MSDE 2000 Rel A was installed and typed in this:
setup.exe INSTANCENAME=MyDb DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=<My SA PASSWORD>
MSDE installed successfully and the little icon appeared in the system tray, next to the clock. However, there was no little green arrow/triangle showing on the icon to show connection status as Connected.
4. ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit
During the Starter Kit install a Connect to Database window opened - Connect to SQL or MSDE.
In the 'Server' field the following was automatically displayed:
STEVE-HOME/MyDb
Where STEVE-HOME is the name of my computer (changed from 'localhost') and MyDb is the instance name.
Thw 'Windows Authentication' radio button was selected by default. I left this unchanged, then clicked OK.
A window opened asking to test the connection. I clicked OK and the connection was successful.
(I didn't select the SQL Server authentication or enter a username, password or select a Database.)
The Starter Kit installed successfully and works fine. However, the SQL Server Service Manager icon states it is not connected when I mouse over it.
I opened the SQL Server Service Manager window and the Server and Services fields are blank.
Surely the Starter Kit wouldn't work if MSDE wasn't connected.
Can anyone advise on how to get the icon to show it is connected
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I added a new windows user "ReportUser" which is a local user (not in administrator group). When I connect to the report manage's web page, I use reportuser to log in (when the anonymous access is disabled it will ask a log in). Report builder icon is not showing up on the report manager home page.
If I log in as a user in administrator group, the reportr builder icon shows up so I can download it and build report.
I have assigned reportuser "Content manager" and "repoter builder" access to the home folder. Is there anything else I have to do to make the report build icon show up on the home page?
Thanks

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.
Returning "completed" when status = 1 and "not completed when status = 0
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am writing a two step process where the record is created and half of the fields are populated. The second step will populate the remaining fields. Between steps they will run queries against the table and the empty fields are <NULL>.When the field is <NULL> it won't return data on "WHERE Field LIKE '%'". I could just pass "" as data to the remaining fields however since MS SQL allows you to set a default value on a field. Is it possible to set the default value to a blank instead of <NULL>. This would help keep my code a little more streamline.
Or is there an easy way to write a fuzzy search that will include <NULL> fields.
Thanks

All,
I have a report with a document map and when I run the report through
IE 7.0, the Document Map is blank. Running that same report through IE
6.0 and it is fine.
Both instances are run against the same server via Report Viewer so
there is no difference other than the client IE version.
Anyone know of a work around for this?
Thanks,

Is this a known issue - blank spaces caused by KeepTogether property being implicity set for Lists/Subreports/Rectangles in Reporting Services? If so, will there be a fix soon?
Good Morning friends. I am using MS SQL Server Reporting Services version 9.00.2047.00 and I have a problem and i would like your help:
I have one report (Cuadro de Mando) and 4 subreports (subquadro, subquadro2, subquadro3, subquadro4):
Note: Nome of the subreports above, have a page break after showing the records and neither the report. The subreports are perfectly designed in the main report (Cuadro de Mando).
There is no space free between the desgin of the 4 subreports.
Each subreport are designed in only one page. I tested each one of the subreports individually and the preview of each is ok in olnly one page.
But when i test the report (€śCuadro de Mando€?) with contains the 4 subreports, one page in blank always appears between the previous page and the next page of the 4 subreports.
What can we do to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.
