Expression-based Data Source + Subscription = No-go?
Dec 20, 2006
Set up reports to use expression-based data sources and everything works fine as far as executing and viewing the reports. The ConnectionString expression includes the credentials, and the "No credentials required" option is selected.
Unfortunately, am getting this when trying to create a subscription for same report. WTF?

I have a stored procedure that receives an input parameter of ReporID and then sends back the appropriate dataset to the data-driven subscription. In the stored procedure, there is some concatenated sql in producting the final select statement to send to the subscription, but it is generating the following error:
The dataset cannot be generated. An error occurred while connecting to a data source, or the query is not valid for the data source. (rsCannotPrepareQuery) Get Online Help
Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition. Because there are some optional columns that need to conditionally appear based on the report, I can't avoid concatenation. My only other option is to have hundreds of individual tables to source all our reports, which I don't have time to manage.
Please let me know how I can allow the data-driven subscription setup process to discover the columns for my concatenated SQL so I can seutp my schedules based on the single stored procedure with all my logic nested in my table structure.
RE: XML Data source .. Expression? Variable? Connection? Error: unable to read the XML data.
I want my XML Data source to be an expression as i will be looping through a directory of xml files.
I don't see the expression property or the connection property??
I tried setting the XMLData property to @[User::filename], but that results in:

I have created a report parameter called ServerName. However, when I deploy the report and report viewer opens, I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Error during processing of the ConnectString expression of datasource €˜AdventureWorks€™. (rsDataSourceConnectStringProcessingError)
Is there some really obvious step I am missing here? The relevant parts of my rdl are below.
Thanks in advance

<ConnectString>="data source=" & Parameters!ServerName.Value & ";initial catalog=AdventureWorks"</ConnectString>
I have 4 Tablix and 2 of the Tablix get data from Server 1 and other 2 get the data from Server 2.I have set NoRowsMessage "=Data Not Available for the Selected Values"  for all the 4 Tablix.Now if data is not available from Server 1 then I must show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in the  outputbut now its appearing twice in the output because of the 2 tablix that had no rows.Similarly if data not available from Server 2 then it should show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in my output.If Data not avilable from all the Tablix then also i t should show only once as "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" in the report output.
I'm trying to load data from old SQL server 2000 to new SQL server 2014. I need to do a checksum to check if all the source data is loaded in the target database(SQL server 2014). I've created the insert statement for the same which works. I need to use checksum to make sure all the source rows are loaded in the target table. I haven't done checksum before.
Here is my insert statement:
INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Order_tab] ([rec_id] ,[date_loaded] ,[Name1] ,[Name2] ,[Address1] ,[Address2]
Is it possible to include a currency symbol in an amount-field in PowerPivot/Pivottable based on a Currency column in a table? Something as the same as with SSAS MD. And I don't want fixed values in my code.
I cant imagine this to be possible, but I currently have a report setup and a subscription that email the report to some users, I was curious to know if possible that if the report returns no records to not have the report sent?
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.
Hi, I have a matrix report containing a parameter.The count of groups may change based on the parameter's value.Also these groups are connected to each other with toggle property. For example; --If the parameter's value is "year", the report have three (year, month, day) groups.Day is connected to month and month is connected to year with toggle property. --If the parameter's value is "month", the report have two (month, day) groups.Day is connected to month with toggle property. --If the parameter's value is "day", the report have one (day) group.There will be no toggle property.
The question is: I wrote expressions for this report and set the visibility properties of the groups, but when I select the "day" or "month" value for the parameter, no groups are shown.I think the reason is "being connected to each other with toggle property".
I'm trying to generate the data for a 2-column table, where both columns are defined as NOT NULL and the second column is a uniqueidentifier.
In SQL Server Management Studio, this works fine:insert into table_3(column_a, column_b) select table_1.column_a, (case when table_2.column_b is NULL then newid() else table_2.column_b end) as column_b from table_1 left outer join table_2 on table_1.column_c = table_2.column_c
That is, column_b of the SELECT result has no NULL values, and all 35,986 rows are successfully inserted into a previously empty table_3. (If I comment out the INSERT INTO clause and project table_2.column_b instead of "(case ... end) as column_b", the SELECT result includes 380 rows with a NULL in column_b, so I know the case expression plus the outer join are working as expected.)
But when I use the SELECT query as the SQL command in an OLE DB Source component that is connected directly to the OLE DB Destination for the result table, I get this error:There was an error with input column "column_b" (445) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (420 The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
And sure enough, when I modify the result table to allow NULL in column_b, truncate it, and re-run the data flow, it inserts the exact same 380 rows with a NULL in column_b among the 35,986 rows.
So what is SSIS doing to screw up the results of the SELECT command???
Expression-based connection strings are great but they are specific to each report which makes them difficult to maintain. Shared expression-based connection strings are not supported.
I'm looking for a way around this. I'm hoping to write a custom data extension, and in the custom data extension, do all the "dynamic" logic that sets the connection string (which you normally would be doing in your expression-based connection string).
I know the above can be done. What I don't know is how, inside a custom data extension, to get the value of expressions like User!UserID? (I want the connection to run under stored credentials, but I want to customize the connection string and add a property to it based on the UserID who is logged into Report Manager.)

It's a report with 3 sub-reports in it, i want to display only one of the 3 sub-reports at a time depending on 1 or 2 parameters received by the parent report. These parameters are verified by an expression into the visibility tab of each sub-report. The two parameters are 2 lists with possibles values between 1 and 2 (not query based). I have verified these values and they are correctly received by report depending on the selection of each list.
SubReport2.expression =IIf(Parameters!Regroupement.Value = 2 AND Parameters!SautPage.Value = 1, True, False)
SubReport3.expression =IIf(Parameters!Regroupement.Value = 2 AND Parameters!SautPage.Value = 2, True, False)
So here are the posibilities :
when Regroupement.Value = 1 --> SubReport1 will be shown
when Regroupement.Value = 2 AND SautPage.Value = 1 --> SubReport2 will be shown
when Regroupement.Value = 2 AND SautPage.Value = 2 --> SubReport3 will be shown
Now why that doesn't work ? I always see the same report and it's not the right one displayed even i change the selection of my 2 lists for the parameters value.
I am using the "XML Source Adapter" in an SSIS package. I notice that although you can specify the XML filename as an expression, the XSD appears to have to be a fixed file path. This is a problem for me since the path for the XSD is different in my development than it will be in production (in production it's on drive E:, which I don't have).
I'd like to have the file location specified in the config file, but since I can't make it an expression how can I do that?
Also, since they don't have Connection Managers I can't switch DelayValidation on.
I am trying to programmatically execute a package that contains an Execute SQL Task component bound to a variable for its "SqlStatementSource" property (via an expression). The variable is of type String and contains a simple value of "SELECT 1". The Execute SQL Task contains an expression that sets the SqlStatementSource property to the value of this variable.
The package runs fine when I execute it via dtexec or BIDS, but when I attempt to run it via the object model, I receive the following error message:
The result of the expression ""@[User::Sql]"" on property "SqlStatementSource" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
I did a search on this forum and noticed quite a few threads about this same issue, but no explanation/solution. We have quite a few packages that have dynamically constructed SQL statements for Execute SQL Tasks, and they are all failing to run via the object model. Is there something that I am missing?
I have an RDL report that has tables which are hidden based on expression. When I chose Run, they are appropriately hidden or visible. However, when I chose print, all tables are printed, even if they are invisible in the run version.Â
I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task.
I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI .
But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder.
I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI.
My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at.
, Hi In this code how can I create a new data source and new data source view and model and structure that it run dynamic. In this code I have a lot of errors, that they are about server and database don€™t have in current code, In this code, first I should definition server or no?
How can I create data source and data source view and model and structure? Please say code of that, and guide me. databasename and srv is unknown. Do I add other reference with analysis services? Please explain about these codes: ************************************************************************ 1) RelationalDataSource dsNew = new RelationalDataSource( datasourceName, Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID( datasourceName, typeof(RelationalDataSource)));
I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
We run a weekly update on one of our databases from a download (FTP) from our mainframe. What I want to do is start the update job automatically after all of the files are downloaded.
I have a similar process in another database where the users set a flag in an application after they've made certain changes. The job fires daily at 18:00 and checks the value of the flag in the table. It then processes or goes back to sleep. This works great but there is no flag that the users can update in this application.
hi everybody, i want to create data source and data source view for data mining, with using C Sharp. i have create data source and data source view and export to XML file, but when i change to another computer, run those XML file, it return error, when i run statement to create and biuld mining model, what can i change on xml or how to run XML on another computer sucessfully, and have i build data source and data source view, how to do it.?
Today I was making a few reports. When I tested the reports in Visual Studio, they worked great: I got the expected result. But when I deployed the reports to our reportserver the problem started. When I click on the directory in which my reports are deployed, I got my 4 reports. Till now everything worked correct. But when I click on a report to view the results it went wrong. I got an error: "Cannot create a connection to data source 'Live'" (Live is the name of our data source).
We are using the Windows Logons and I am sure that I have all the rights on the server, I gave myself 'sysadmin' rights, so it should work. I also have tried it with all the roles assigned on my account, but then it still won't work.
When I modify the data source, and set it to another server en database it works. The datasource 'Live' exists on a x64 MsSQL server, en the other datasource is on a x86 MsSQL server. Maybe that is the problem?
I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.
The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.
Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?
I would like to transfer selected data from an ODBC-based table to a OLEDB-based table. However, there isn't a data flow source on the Data Flow Design screen to accomodate such an action. Please help!
How do you Write an expression to Return the date value based on the most recent date only?
Eg. Date 10-7-2015, action - done, notes - all items fixed.       Date 4-5-2016, action - not yet done, notes - buying parts
All these dates are returned based on a search parameter based on a project number. I only want the most current date and associated fields displayed.
I'm new to this whole SQL Server 2005 thing as well as database design and I've read up on various ways I can integrate business constraints into my database. I'm not sure which way applies to me, but I could use a helping hand in the right direction.
A quick explanation of the various tables I'm dealing with: WBS - the Work Breakdown Structure, for example: A - Widget 1, AA - Widget 1 Subsystem 1, and etc. Impacts - the Risk or Opportunity impacts for the weights of a part/assembly. (See Assemblies have Impacts below) Allocations - the review of the product in question, say Widget 1, in terms of various weight totals, including all parts. Example - September allocation, Initial Demo allocation, etc. Mostly used for weight history and trending Parts - There are hundreds of Parts which will eventually lead to thousands. Each part has a WBS element. [Seems redundant, but parts are managed in-house, and WBS elements are cross-company and issued by the Government] Parts have Allocations - For weight history and trending (see Allocations). Example, Nut 17 can have a September 1st allocation, a September 5th allocation, etc. Assemblies - Parts are assemblies by themselves and can belong to multiple assemblies. Now, there can be multiple parts on a product, say, an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and so those parts can belong to a higher "assembly" [For example, there can be 3 Nut 17's (lower assembly) on Widget 1 Subsystem 2 (higher assembly) and 4 more on Widget 1 Subsystem 5, etc.]. What I'm concerned about is ensuring that the weight roll-ups are accurate for all of the assemblies. Assemblies have Impacts - There is a risk and opportunity impact setup modeled into this design to allow for a risk or opportunity to be marked on a per-assembly level. That's all this table represents.
A part is allocated a weight and then assigned to an assembly. The Assemblies table holds this hierarchical information - the lower assembly and the higher one, both of which are Parts entries in the [Parts have Allocations] table.
Therefore, to ensure proper weight roll ups in the [Parts have Allocations] table on a per part-basis, I would like to check for any inserts, updates, deletes on both the [Parts have Allocations] table as well as the [Assemblies] table and then re-calculate the weight roll up for every assembly. Now, I'm not sure if this is a huge performance hog, but I do need to keep all the information as up-to-date and as accurate as possible. As such, I'm not sure which method is even correct, although it seems an AFTER DML trigger is in order (from what I've gathered thus far). Keep in mind, this trigger needs to go through and check every WBS or Part and then go through and check all of it's associated assemblies and then ensure the weights are correct by re-summing the weights listed.
If you need the design or create script (table layout), please let me know.
I have implemented a package to load multiple files to a destination. Since the source was a txt file, i have created as flat file source. However now we are getting files in excel format as well.
Is there anyway the source gets changed dynamically based on the file extension, output of the foreach file enumerator? I can think one solution to have 2 dataflow tasks based on precedence constraining and expression one is for .txt and other one is for .xls.

We've got a merge replication. I have one Publisher and one Subscriber. I've made a pull subscription to a Publisher.
I've got into trouble few times occasionally 3-4 times a year. Today also I got problem with one table only one row among so many not carried out on at subscriber, even it is not find out at publisher.
This row was entered at subscriber in the morning, printed by users but in evening report it is not coming down in reports, so I had checkup and find out it is not available at any server. How?
I don’t understand, how inserted, printed data erase from subscriber but rarely. Is there any clue?
Which parameter of the subscription is responsible for it ?
I have create a data driven subscription that should email to to different people. It is sent to one but not the other. if I set up a normal subscription to the email it works. I can not see anywhere in the log the problem. Any Ideas on how to find out what is causing it.
