We are currently designing a report which we hope is possible. Each month the clients employees upload receipts as PDF's to the network and then fills out their form as needed.
We are planning to upload the PDF's to a Microsoft Office 2007 sharepoint site which we would like to then pull out and use as being part of the report.
So page one will be a list of expenses pulled from a database table and the remaining pages will then be the PDF's showing as part of the report. I have seen the Jump to URL option but that presents a hyperlink option only. I need to see the actual pdf in the report.
Has anyone done anything similar where they have extract a PDF to show in a SSRS 2005 report
We have an Office SharePoint 2007 site, we developed a couple of web parts and added them to our site. We used SQL Server Reporting services 2005 as our reporting solution. The reports are hosted on the report center and when we need a report, we open it by sending a URL requesting the report, passing the report parameters in the URL query string. So the report is filtered based on the parameters passed from the web parts.
But since best practices say that you should host reports directly under SharePoint, by configuring the reporting services to run in the SharePoint integrated mode. We followed the steps and installed SharePointRS and we finally succeeded to publish the reports to a SharePoint folder, but we had a limitation: we are unable to pass the report parameters internally to the report hosted in SharePoint. If we passed them in the query string as the report center case, SharePoint neglects them totally. So the question is: how can I pass parameters internally between a SharePoint web part and a SQL server 2005 reporting services report hosted in SharePoint?
I have RS 2005 SP1. I have a report model developed and deployed.
I have a scenario and I am not sure if it is possible to create a report for this scenario using the report builder. Let's say I have a customers entity and address entity that is related to the customer's entity as a 1-many relationship. I have the effective date on the address that specifies the date from which the address is effective. A customer will have multiple records in address with the latest effective date as the latest address of the customer.
Suppose, I need to create a report using the report builder to get the list of latest address for customers, how can I do it? I know it can be done using the report designer using a query that uses the group by clause. But can it be done using report builder?
I am basically new as far as SQl server 2005 concern. I want to try out reporting services provided by sql server 2005. That is make report using sql server 2005 and call that report from web or window application.
Please guide me in doing so or give me some useful link. Thanks
We have been, successfully, using SSRS 2005 with SQL databases. Now are trying to do create SSRS 2005 reports using an Oracle database. What components do I need to install on our SSRS 2005 server to successfully render a report, in a web browser, using an Oracle 9i database. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't know how best to explain this but will try.
In my SSRS 2005 report, i have one group in my table. In that group, I have a field that for each company record in my dataset, this field value is repeated for each record. This is a transactions table so you'd expect several records in the dataset for each company..that's not the problem.
Footer 209409730.83 (totals up all feegoals! not just unique instances!)
I have a footer, and this is where the problem comes in. I am not able to sum 100 + 400 because if I do a SUM(=Fields!FeeGoal.Value) It doesn't just sume up 100 + 400 but rather (100 + 100 + 100) + (400 + 400)
I can't find a way to sum up basically the top values for FeeGoal which is really what the Group Field is doing since I get 100 and 400 in my group field for feeGoal. I should end up with a total of 500 for my footer total for Fee Goal but not sure how to get this to work in this unique situation.
FYI: FeeGoal is an input from an ASP.NET form to allow managers to update that one column in my report so that other calculations can rely on it in my group fields. Once the user finishes, I run a stored proc to insert that fee goal in every customer transaction record / feegoal field
I guess is there a way to do some sort of Distinct SUM in an expression? I also tried:
but you can't have an aggregate function like this, I get this error:
[rsAggregateofAggregate] The Value expression for the textbox 'GrossGoal_gt' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.
Where can a person go to report SSRS 2005 bugs? I didn't see any area for error reporting.
These are the few bugs I've recorded, but I've seen so much more :( On 2005sp1, and mainly using ssas 2005 for source data:
When you have an existing report parameter that was created by the graphical query designer area for dataset1, and then you go to make another dataset and add the same hierarchy and choose for it to be a parameter, it will overwrite what parameter settings you just had (ie, not multivalue and a special default value I desired).
When adding subsequent series or category fields to a chart, the default series/category grouping name remains the same and causes a error when attempting to run the report. IE: chart2_CategoryGroup1, chart2_CategoryGroup1, chart2_CategoryGroup1 - all names are the same for all of the 3 groupings that I've added.
When I run a report for a purchase order, the report duplicates records for product codes.For example the purchase order is: P000976, the report display the product code twice when it should only appear once. 45-5540 appears twice.
Hello, I have a report that is made out of many subreports. It takes a long time to produce this report. Is there a away of knowing and displaying to the user which sub report is produced now? Is there a way of making status info sent to the UI? Somthing like OnStartPage/OnStartReport (now send status to UI somehow)?
I have created a report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. After I export it to Excel format, if I try to print it (Hardcopy), my Excel crashes. It shows an error and shut down. I'm using Excel 2000. It even shows me same error when I click on "Print Preview", in Excel.
Everytime I try to print the excel worksheet, a window pops up with the heading "Visual Studio Just-in-Time Debugger". The error is: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in EXCEL.EXE [3460]".
From a aspx page I was able to Pass values (valid values) for the parameters to SSRS report 2005 which uses OLAP cube as datasource and got back the expectd result. but when I pass value other than a valid value i am getting ERROR message. do we always have to pass valid values only? any help is greatly appreciated.
I am having issues getting my report parameters to refresh when changing their values. I am running SP1 and am trying to mimic the functionality of the Select All for the multi-valued drop-down list. I have a boolean field that I pass to the query that populates the multi-valued list and set a field value to either what is displayed in the list or a -1 (a non-valid option). I then set the default value of the multi-valued list to the value of the new field I created in the query based on if they want to select all values or not.
This works great on the first choice, if I select no, nothing is checked in the list and if I select yes then everything is selected. However, if I select Yes and select No, everything remains checked. It acts like it does a refresh, but does not.
Hello, I am currently creating reports using SSRS 2005 on my local machine. I think I will have to set up a report server machine so that each time I deploy the created reports from my machine to the report server. How do I create and setup the report server to hold the reports please? Thanks
In one of my SSIS Project tasks I insert some records into a table. I want to somehow fire off an SSRS report and send this report to some staff members. how would I add a component to reference or run an SSRS report off the table I just inserted to all from SSIS? I assume I'd h ave to create the report in SSRS first, then somehow reference it from SSIS and then figure out a way to run the report, maybe export it into Excel format and send to the users....not sure how to go about all this in my SSIS package.
I have been asked to re-write an existing system that is in Access 2010 and have everything now .NET and SQL Server. The tables I have successfully moved but I am battling to import the reports. In my SSRS 2005 I only have an option to import from mdb or adb files not accdb that is 2010 Access.
I am very new to Reporting Services. When I set the report to landscape, either by setting width and height at 11 X 8.5 when in layout, or by setting landscape in page setup when I am in preview, a blank page prints in between each report page. I've checked the forum, and tried setting margins to 0, but have not had any success. I saw this response:
the body width plus margins should be less than the defined page width. but I'm not sure what settings are being referred to
I am using WIN XP PRO with IIS installed. Installation (including SSRS) seems OK.
If I go into new project and select Business Infomration / New Report I can select datasource, etc, design a and get to a deployment window. Default is Report Server: http://localhost/ReportServer Deployment Folder: Report Project2
I can preview a report just fine.
If I go to Debug or Deploy I get a error message box that starts with "A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/ReportServer"
Am I missing a component on my system or can you suggest something else I should look at?
I have used Report viewer control to show ssrs 2005 report in my aspx page. Can we show the SSRS 2005 report on the aspx page in any other way? any info on this is appreciated.
I've got a report server that I recently inherited. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert on SSRS, but I've figured out a lot in the past few weeks.
One issue I'm having (apparently it's always been there, but nobody ever bothered to fix it in the past) has to do with the report subscriptions and linked reports. We have an SSL cert inside IIS. I have SSRS configured to "require SSL connections" in the Report Server Virtual Directory tab.
So the user gets an email with a link to a report. But the link has an "http://" as opposed to "https://." When you click on the link, it throws your standard "page must be viewed on a secure channel." When I manually append an S to the url, it works great.
There has to be a way to automagically add the S to the url, but I can't seem to figure out how. Anyone ever run into this before? Google has not been good to me this morning either.
I have created many shared datsources and reprots at http://localhost/resportserver.
I am trying to access these reports from ReportViewer in the web application. Actually I want to use these reports for different customers by just changing the datsource programitically.
Here is the scenario: I have a report in SSRS 2005 that uses an OLE DB connection to send a MDX query to an AS 2000 cube. The report has been working fine for weeks. When the report ran today, it returned the row and column metadata, but not the cell values.
I ran the MDX query separately in the SSRS query editor pane, and it returns all values properly. I was also able to perform the query using ProClarity, so it appears that the issue is between the result set and SSRS.
I am using PHP5 and SSRS 2005 to execute a report via ReportExecution2005.asmx?wsdl (using PHP's SOAP functions). I keep getting the error:
"Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.MissingSessionIdException: The session identifier is missing. A session identifier is required for this operation."
I know what the SessionID after successfully calling the LoadReport method (ExecutionID in the ExecutionHeader) but cannot seem to pass this along to the Render method. Does anyone know how to pass that along?
This is similiar in issue to the post at http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2643092&SiteID=17 but for PHP instead of Java.
Based on jax-ws 2.0 technology, I built a java client application to access a report via the web service interface of the SQL Server Reporting Services 2005.
I used the jax-ws "wsimport" tool to generate the java classes needed to call the web services (The class generation is based on the wsdl and I used this one http://serverName/reportserver/reportexecution2005.asmx?wsdl) and wrote the following sample code :
ReportExecutionService service = new ReportExecutionService(); ReportExecutionServiceSoap rs = service.getReportExecutionServiceSoap();
String reportPath = "HelloWorld";
String format = "MHTML"; String devInfo = "<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>"; Holder<byte[]> result = new Holder<byte[]>(); Holder<String> extension = new Holder<String>(); Holder<String> mimeType = new Holder<String>(); Holder<String> encoding = new Holder<String>(); Holder<ArrayOfWarning> warnings = new Holder<ArrayOfWarning>(); Holder<ArrayOfString> streamIDs = new Holder<ArrayOfString>();
The trouble is that an exception is caught on the call to the render method
javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: The session identifier is missing. A session identifier is required for this operation. ---> The session identifier is missing. A session identifier is required for this operation. I found on the web (in C# examples) that this SessionId is supposed to be contained in the ExecutionId attribute of an
ExecutionHeader object. The ReportExecutionServiceSoap class (my rs object in the example) does not offer any way to directly set this SessionId or to associate an ExceptionHeader before calling the render method.
How to add a link to the child report in the page header section of a report in SSRS 2005 ?Basically I want a link to the child report which should appear on all the pages of the report if the report has multiple pages.
Hi I have picked up the same problem that quite a few folks have identified.
I have created a SSRS Solution and have a report which I am trying to deploy to the Report Manager. The project 'builds' locally but when I try to deploy it, a User Login Box pops up.
Has any one been able to ascertain what causes the problem and how does one go about resolving the problem. I am using Window Authentication on WIndows XP SP2 with SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition and Visual Studio 2005 Professional I have not 'tinkered' with IIS,.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. regards Steve
i need to get the result of two different queries into 2 different sheets of the same excel file while exporting a report to excel using reporting services..
I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053
I need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print. The report footer works just fine I put some text in the footer, and it shows up in the footer. The header though, shows up as a row in the Excel spreadsheet that then causes columns to merge. How do I get the report header to act like a page header?
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.
