We are pulling data from a sharepoint list and we have created a report using business development studio in sql 2005 and have created a table with data that we want to display.
We are trying to filter this data so that we can get the report to show entries for the day or for a week, but im not sure how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
We have set up reporting in sql 2005 so that we can report from a MOSS 2007 list. At the moment the report is created with all the data from within the list. How could i create a filters so that the user can generate a report by name and date?
Thanks.
We are using xml to pull data from a custom sharepoint list into sql 2005. We have set a parameter that allows the user to filter the data by surname, however when the user tries to filter the list the drop down box brings up a list of every record, so there are duplicate entries for each surname.
Is there a way of filtering this so that there is only one instance of the users surname instead of it showing all the records?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I setup this package to import data from a Sharepoint list to a SQL Server data table. The primary key of my SQL table is mapped to the Title column of my Sharepoint list. There is a possibility that duplicate values will be entered in the Title field of the Sharepoint list. So when importing data into my table via SSIS, my package always error-out when there it comes across duplicate values. how you others have managed data integrity when importing from a Sharepoint list with the Title column being mapped to the primary key of a table.

Our current method of limiting what data a user can see is implemented solely through our Web based business intelligence tools. No filtering is enabled at the database level. This has become somewhat cumbersome as security is tied exclusively to these tools. The tools use one common logon to access the underlying database.
I would like to implement security at the database level (SQL Server 2000) and thereby produce a more flexible/portable solution. I was thinking of setting up individual database accounts for each user and then tying these into our company structure table by passing system_user result to a constraint.
For example System User name 'Store 2' would reference Store '2' in the structure table. Depending on the user, different columns will need to be referenced to filter the rows. A store user would be validated against the store column, an Area Manager user would be validated against the Area Manager column and Head Office users would not be valiadated at all i.e. they are not filtered.
1) What is the best method to implement such a look up. Can or should I use Check constraints for such a solution?
2) Would a UDF be useful?
Any ideas on the best approach to take would be greatly appereciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have following query. I want to insert the value MBR_COV_EFF_DATE
to table fixed_MM if the function dbo.CheckTheDate2 returns correct date and if it returns NULL I want to insert it on error_MM table.
How can I do this?
select dbo.CheckTheDate2(MBR_COV_EFF_DATE,'MBR_COV_EFF_DATE') AS MBR_COV_EFF_DATE
from [unfixed_MM]
Thanks

I need to filter data.
In dataset/ Filter tab, I have entered:
Expression: =Fields!PRACTICE_ID.Value
Operator: =
Value: 20
and get this error: The comparison failed. Check the data type returned by filter expression.
Practice_id has int data type. How else can I check the data type returned by filter expression?
I tried to filter on table level the same way, and get the same error.
Could anybody help, please, to make it work?
Thank you

I get the following error when I try to navigate to a report/model/data source, stored in a Sharepoint Document Library using a Sharepoint URL based on an Extranet or Intranet zone - but it works OK using the url for the Default zone:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SecurityZoneNotSupportedException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used.
Is this a limitation of the SQLRS-WSS3 integration or is there a workaround?
Many thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi,I have three dropdown lists branch, month & year. Based on these I need to retrieve data in my Datagrid.I have written the following SQL statement & code in my Refreshgrid(): SqlCmd.CommandText = " SELECT * " SqlCmd.CommandText += " FROM HSECData" SqlCmd.CommandText += " where branchno=" &Branchno SqlCmd.CommandText += " And yearno=" &YearNo SqlCmd.CommandText += " And monthno=" &monthNoThis is working fine, initially the datagrid is empty and then displays data when I select say, branch- Melbourne, Year-2005, Month-October and other exisiting combinations.The problem I am stuck at is when the page loads, initially I want all the data to be displayed in datagrid, i.e. for 'All' branches, 'All' years and 'All' months and then when I select combinations of these dropwdown lists as above the data should be filtered and displayed in those selected combinations. but as of now I get and empty datagrid when I select 'All' from these 3 drop down lists or when the page opens the first time.Can someone kindly guide me with the correct SQL cinstruct to achieve both the requirements?Thanks,Aartee.P.S. I am sorry if I have posted this question in a wrong category in the forum, I was unsure whether I should post it in Datagrid category or SQL server category, I thought this was my best bet.My aplogies.

I have a database table which is growing 100,000 recs per day. It has data from 06/01/1999 to current. I need to keep data only from 08/01/1999. I BCP'd out around more than 10 million rows(entire table) out into an OS flat file. Now I need to BCP in rows only after 08/01/1999. How do I filter those rows during BCP'ing in, or is there a way of doing it while BCP'ing out. The table has a field named proc_date smalldatetime(4) NOT NULL.
Anyone can please suggest a way of doing this.

Hello,I have a simple table containing adresses.A sample view of the table isid name city--------------------------------100 Meier New York101 Meier Tokyo110 Olson Amsterdam110 Olson Dublin111 Paul Berlin...The view is ordered by (name,city)Now my problem:I want to see only the second half of the viewstarting from "Olson" in "Dublin"Using the constraintwhere (name>="Olson") and (city>="Dublin")does not the right thing. It eliminates i.e. row 111.The only idea I have is to concatenate the fields tosimulate the compound index to be able to dowhere name+"~"+city>="Olson~Dublin"not to forget to struggle with null fields to getthe right results. This slows down the simple querydramatically.This seems to be a complicated solution for a simpleproblem, given the fact, that the index is alreadyavailable at the server.Does anyone has an idea or suggestion?-Hubert
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a stored procedure, which returns a list of results/data.
Some of that data includes a count.
What I would like is to filter the data where we see all the count data that has 0 or all the count data greater than zero.
Now it is entirely possibly for me to go back to the stored procedure and amend it so that that is entirely possible, however i was wondering if it was also possible to produce this by filtering data at the dataset.
I provide a filter at the datset by clicking on dataset and then filters and then the expression for the field for the search count and having a parameter that provides the value.
Now it is straightforward if i just want to show all results where the searchcount = 0.
The problem lies where i want to show all results that have a searchcount > 0. The problem being it only allows me to choose one operator = or >, not a combination of both, meaning I cannot have the option to have either results.
Where am i going wrong?
I have a simple query
select distinct
 bl_rec_ref
 ,freq_cd
 from hgmprty1
where(bl_rec_ref is not null and bl_rec_ref not like '%SCH%')
That produces the following output (part shown)
However what I need to show is only bl_rec_ref values where there is no corresponding freq_cd of QTLY.
Looking at the example data above Rows 45 and 46 have the same bl_rec_ref value with a MTHLY and a QTLY value in freq_cd so therefore I don't want this to appear in my output. Similarly with Rows 47 and 48 were the bl_rec_ref has both QTLY and MTHLY values so again should be excluded.
However looking at Rows 51 to 55 which has a bl_rec_ref only showing once for each value of MTHLY and no value for QTLY so these Rows are required in the output.
I can't find any info on what the 'IN' operator does when filtering data. What's the syntax? I'm hoping this operator will behave similar to the IN operator in sql. I want to pass in 1 or more values that I'd like my data filtered by. If I say <field> IN <single value> it works, but if I say <field> IN <value1>,<value2> I get back nothing at all. Any claification on the use of this operator and the correct syntax for my value list would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a dataset which I would like to remove data from, but I can't seem to find out how to do this.
The dataset contains the following columns:
SCode, NIn, SIn, AIn, NOut, SOut, AOut and TagNumber.
I would like to remove data from the dataset when the following occurs:
("SC123", "NIn123", "s-in-323", "a-in-342", "NOut43", "s-out-231", "a-out-45", "tagnumber12")
("SC123", "NIn123", "s-in-xyz", "a-in-xws", NULL, NULL, NULL, "tagnumber12")
This is when NIn occurs with the same value more than once, and I would like to remove (or ignore, filter) the row when NOut, SOut and AOut are null.
I am new to SSIS and can't see how I could do this (although I'm sure it's possible).
If anyone could show me how I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
hi,
I have a trouble in filtering with SQL reporting services 2005 (SSRS). Please help me in clearing this issue.
I have a textbox and an dropdownbox with all the column names of a table in it. I will be entering some text in the textbox and will select a column name in the dropdownbox. I should get a result by checking the value of the textbox in the selected colum from the dropdownbox.
I give the query in where condition as: "(@dropdownvalue LIKE @Textboxname) ", which is not working.
Thanks in advance,

I have what at first site should be a simple reporting services issue but cannot resolve:-
I have a complex report comprising over 90 pages of various sections but when analysed in detail , 80% of it follows a simple pattern i.e. it comprises around 100 instances of the same sub-report bound to the same data source BUT grouped and filtered on different groupings and filter values.
The pattern is as follows:-
Each sub-report instance is bound to an SSAS cube which has fields L1, L2...L7
Each sub-report instance groups the data dynamically by one or more groups G1,G2..G7, the actual fields to be used being defined by the parent report (i.e. one instance may group by fields L7, L3, L4, another by L2,L3 etc)
Each sub-report instance has up to 7 filters defined (F1..F7) may filter the data i.e. the parent may pass a filter stipulating that L7="A", L3="B". To do this, the parent sets filter parameters F7="A" and F3="B"
The approach I have adopted is to set up parameters in the sub-report for dynamically grouping the data i.e. the
sub-report has 7 parameters defined G1..G7 and the parent report populates G1..G7 with the grouping breakdown required for any given instance. This works fine!!!!
However what I am trying to do is prevent each sub-report performing major round trips to the underlying cube for each sub-report instance by specifying the filter as part of the MDX query by defining the 7 filter parameters as query parameters. (I could of course not filter the query and place the filter in the report but this would almost certainly lead to performance issues). Instead what I am struggling to do is to create the MDX query in such a way that when a filter is not supplied by the parent, the MDX query does not filter the data.
Can anyone advise on this. I guess my question is more of an MDX question than a reporting services one.
Hello, I am trying to use a boolean parameter to filter data in a table, but there is something I am missing.
Basically I want something like this:
I have a boolean parameter, "EP", and I have a filter set on my table as:
Expression Operator Value
=Fields!REFERRAL_SOURCE.Value = IIF (Parameters!EP.Value, "1297", ????)
Using the filter tab, I can't specify an expression for the 'Operator' so I was trying to work it out using either '=' or 'like'. What needs to go into the ???? in order for the referral source to be "not 1297" (i.e. the inverse of the filter)?
Or, am I completely missing an easy way to do this?
Thanks.
Is there a way to dynamically slice / filter data when running a data mining query?
(Dynamically means - not deployed as part of the structure)
For example - I€™d like find associations to products sold in different geographic locations.
Does the answer differ if the structure is based on a cube or on a rational DB?
Does anyone know the location of Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll after you install the web part? I am wondering if I can inherit from this web part to wrap some other functionality into it. I know that i see it in the GAC buyt can't seem to find it so I can look at the assembly using reflector.
Also, how easy is it to pass in parameters to the Report Viewer?
Thanks!

Since I wasn't getting any replies with answers or suggestions to my initial posting, I figured I would continue to list the problems and solutions I've encountered while trying to setup and utilize SharePoint integration mode, and read data from SharePoint with SSRS reports (developed in VS2005). Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that is also trying to learn all this stuff and figure it out.
(Single server - W2K3R2_SP2 as: DC / SQL2005 Standard / MOSS2007 Enterprise - see the bottom of this posting for the steps I took to set that up)
Note: After I get this to work, I intend to post my experiences for setting up SharePoint Integration with SQL and SP on separate boxes.
1. In the new reporting section under SharePoint application management in the Central Admin Console, the Grant database AND Set Server Defaults work when using the domain admin account, but not when using the SQLSPS service account I used to setup both SQL and SharePoint. Why can't I use the service account? Is the domain admin account now going to be used as a service account for accessing the sharepoint database?
This question remains unanswered as of yet.
2. Reporting Services configuration tool shows Sharepoint integration as red x when I create a new database in integration mode. (the service account SQLSPS and the Server object are members of the group WSS_WPG). If I switch back to native mode (the original reportserver database), the red x goes to a blue exclamation instead. Using Service Credentials or Windows credentials (as either the service account SQLSPS or as domain admin) doesn't change anything.
RESOLVED by using a domain user account for the ReportServer WebApp. Even though everything is installed on the same machine, it seems using the default of NETWORK SERVICE wasn't acceptable. Possibly because SharePoint is configured to allow additional machines in the farm?
3. http://servername:8080/reportserver will display Report Server information as it did before the integration on port 80, but http://servername/reportserver doesn't display anything through SharePoint.
Resolved. I needed to define a repository before I could view it (go figure). When I created a sharepoint site based on a report center template, created a data connection library and report library, and then referenced that by http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, I was able to see the equivalent of http://servername/reports (which is now disabled due to integration mode).
4. Unable to deploy to new report center sharepoint site I mention above using Visual Studio. I kept getting "A connection could not be made to the report server http://servername/sites/ReportCenter. Server was unable to process request. The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service unavailable (System.Web.Services). In Visual Studio, the project properties were: TargetDataSourceFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myDataConnectionLibrary, TargetReportFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, TargetServerURL = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/
Found these errors in the event logs on the server.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1021
Description:
The identity of application pool, 'ReportServer' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1057
Description:
The identity of application pool 'ReportServer' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1059
Description:
A failure was encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'ReportServer'. The application pool has been disabled.
RESOLVED the issue by changing the Application Pool used by reporting services from ReportServer to DefaultAppPool and changing the account DefaultAppPool used from NETWORK SERVICE to my service account SQLSPS. I have no idea why ReportServer is invalid, it was set to use the service account SQLSPS the same as DefaultAppPool is. Perhaps the reporting services add-on makes a change to invalidate this?
5. Attempting to read a SharePoint list using a SSRS report. This should be fun.
First, created a new custom list in the ReportCenter SharePoint sites I've been using and called it myCustomList. I added one item with a title of myCustomListItem1. I don't know if I need to do more than that for a simple test of reporting or not yet.
Second, configured new shared data source. Name = myCustomList1DataSource, type=XML, Connection String = http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (this URL is viewable in IE), Using Windows authenticaion.
Third, in VS2005 on a workstation in the domain, create new report item (report1.rdl). New dataset for report; Name=Report1DataSet, Data Source=myCustomList1DataSource (Shared), Command type = text, Query String = [See Queries and associated errors below]:

RESOLVED. Went back to the query used in B above, and mysteriously it works now. This could be the "funny things happen" symptom I've been reading about. We'll see if it continues to function.
Here's what I've learned so far on Issue #5:
1. XML is confusing. XmlDP is even more confusing...whatever that is. Apparently it's new to/with Reporting Services in SharePoint integration mode?
2. There is far too little documentation regarding XmlDP and querying SharePoint lists from SQL Reporting Services.
3. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx: You must use the generic query designer to create the query. The query is not analyzed to identify parameters; therefore you must create parameters through the Parameter tab on the Dataset dialog box.
Tried this query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems" />
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>myCustomReport2</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef name="ows_Date" />
</OrderBy>
</Parameters>
</Query>
I was still prompted for the listName and the list returned with ows_Date still out of order. So maybe that proves this statement is true?
<translation: why make it convenient when it's already [somewhat] functional?>
4. When building the dataset, anything I place in the "Query string" box has to be enclosed in <query></query> tags or it errors out. I am trying to understand how to translate the CAML viewer query (which does work but isn't wrapped in query tags) into something that fits between query tags, and it hasn't gone well so far.
<translation: To be at one with your reports Grasshopper, you must understand xml>
5. According to http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx, "GetListItems" operation is supported
<translation: you're getting warmer...>
6. According to the soap output of my site http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems, I am only allowed to specify the following parameters: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID.
<translation: that and $3.00 will get you a cup of coffee>
7. According to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) (query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS).
<translation: that kind of sucks>
8. When this started mysteriously working again, I tested using the "/" at the end of the namespace (wouldn't work without) and the "=" sign in front of the parameter value as defined on the parameter tab of the dataset (turns out to be optional).
As long as I can query SharePoint and get my list information back, I'm going to consider this issue closed and move on to actually using this information in a report. I'm sure that won't work right either, but why stop now?!
6. Ok, now that I can read SharePoint list data with SSRS, I need to try and actually do something with it.
A. Begin by setting up new data to report on
1. Create a new custom list (myCustomList2) and add a test record. This list will simulate the data we intend to submit to SharePoint using InfoPath, so it has a number of custom/created columns in it
2. Modify the working information from #5 above; add a new shared data source (myCustomList2DataSource), tell the dataset to use the new shared data source, change the information set in the parameter tab (Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList2) and test the dataset. Lucky me, it actually returned the record I entered on the first try.
B. Begin to build the report with the dataset returned
1. So, as I'm feeling good that it's actually reading the list in Step A without me threatening to destroy the machine, I look to the left in the Dataset results navigation pane in VS2005 and realize there are NO fields for me to choose to report on.
2. At this point, I have no clue what to do about getting this XML data into a report. Not that I have a large clue about SSRS otherwise, but I have at least been able to build SSRS reports when using a SQL database as the datasource. Fyi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx states: "Reports can use data from XML documents and Web services, or embed XML in the query. There is no built-in support for retrieving XML documents from a SQL Server database.", in case anyone is trying to do that....
RESOLVED. Since the fields were not appearing automatically, I had started to add new fields to the dataset manually (if it doesn't work, beat it with a hammer, right?). I entered half a dozen or so fields, each one with the exact name as displayed in the query results, and then decided it would be fun to hit the refresh fields icon. As soon as I did that, all the fields shown in the query immediately appeared in the dataset and I was able to add them to a report. I don't know if I hit the refresh fields when working in issue #5, so I can't say if they are there now because of that, or because of adding some fields manually first, a combination of the two, or if it's just one of those mystery items I'm reading about with sharepoint reporting.
7. Rows are being returned even though they have NULL values (so far anyway), and most data is returning nicely for the bulk of the columns I created in the list I'm reporting on. Here are the current issues:
A. I have one column in my SharePoint list that is multi-lined text. If the text type is either rich text or enhanced rich text, the value returned in the query is formatted like this: "<div class=ExternalClassyadayada<div>My notes display here". If I set the column to be plain text, this doesn't happen. I will need to figure out how to filter that for my report.
RESOLVED. David Wise had some code listed at http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx that addressed this issue somewhat. I modified it to match my circumstances. Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, so use this at your own risk.
function ExtractMultiLineText(myField as string) as string
dim strBegin as string
dim strEnd as string
dim myBegin as integer
dim myEnd as integer
dim myTextLength as integer
strBegin = "<div>"
strEnd = "</div>"
if myField = nothing then return ""
if myField = "" then return ""
myBegin = Instr(myField, strBegin) + Len(strBegin)
myEnd = Instr(myField, strEnd)
myTextLength = myEnd - myBegin
if myBegin < 1 then return myField
return mid(myField, myBegin, myTextLength)
end function
B. I have two columns in the SharePoint list that are set as number values with 0 decimal places. When I query those however in SSRS, they return with the number plus like 12 zeroes behind the decimal. Not a major issue, but I'll put it on the list anyway.
RESOLVED. Used the Int() function; =Int(Fields!ows_myProblemNumber)
C. If I go to "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems", it appears from the sample soap output that I am allowed to ask GetListItems for is: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID. As I mentioned in issue #5, according to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) and query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS.
So, if I can't put anything other than this in my query string;
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
and I only have a couple parameters to pass on top of that, then it appears to me that my options for filtering the amount of data returned from the SharePoint list is to figure out a way to do it with expressions in the parameters or in the report itself. Am I missing something? Is this really all I get to work with out-of-the-box?

8. Create new RS database in integration mode (with service credentials)
8a. RS config tool shows SP integration as red x
9. SP central admin /application management / manage integration settings
9a. reports server = http://srv1:8080/reportserver (since default port has been moved to 8080)
10. SP central admin /application management/grant database access
10a. using the FQDN, confirm servername and default instance - click OK
10b. Prompted for an account to use to retrieve information; svc acct SQLSPS did not work, domain admin did though

Is there a way in Reporting Services to filter based on a parameter, but get it to use distinct values?
Currently I have a dataset that is grouped on a Branch value and a Team value.
The end-user wants to be able to filter out data based on the branch values, however when I set it up to that field it comes back with:
Branch 1
Branch 1
Branch 1
Branch 2
Branch 2
Branch 3
Branch 3
and the same goes with Team, which is a sub-group of branch. Is there any way I could set this up so that the parameter drop-down will only display distinct values? Also, is it possible to do the same with another parameter based upon the branch parameter.
Ex.
Branch 1 contains Team 01, Team 02, and Team 03
Branch 2 contains Team 04, Team 05
User selects to filter by Branch 1, the Team dropdown should only contain options for further filtering on Team 01, Team 02, and Team 03 not all of them.
Any help is much appreciated.
I found out the battery in my UPS isn't working anymore. My server down a couple of times with power outages before I figured out it wasn't doing its job.
I make backups of my Sharepoint databases using the gui interface in Sharepoint, so I have backups and have used them for a couple of the outages.
What I was wondering (I'm a newb to SQL), if I do a checkdb and get no errors when the databases (sharepoint_config and sharepoint_data) are marked suspect, is there an easy way to get them back online without using the backups. The only reason I ask, there is data entered in the 23hrs (daily backups) since the last backup that I wouldn't mind keeping.
Also, I seem to have gotten (from reading some of the posts here) my sharepoint_config stuck in emergency mode and can't find a post on how to get it back to normal/online mode ;)

Is this level of security possible in RS 2005? if so how?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I am trying to generate a report that is basically a class list. It lists classes for a specific semester and lists them by day of the week and then by time.
If I am pulling back a dataset of all classes, how do I filter my report so as to show each set of classes appropriately (by day and by time within the day)? I tried using the Filter function on the table level, but I guess I don't get it.
My table would need to look like this:
MONDAY:
8:30 - 9:30
9:30- 11:30
11:30-1:30
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
TUESDAY:
8:30 - 9:30
9:30- 11:30
11:30-1:30
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof
Can SQL Server 2005 query results be output to a list or document library in SharePoint?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUp until an hour ago, I was using the Sql Server Reporting Services Report Viewer webpart in Sharepoint with forms authentication, and was not having an issue. The only thing that I did (or remember doing) before things went sour was upload a new report to the document list and since then whenever I try to access a report, manage the data source on a report, change the report URL in the webpart, I get the following message:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> The request failed with the error message:
--
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="/_layouts/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f_vti_bin%2fReportServer%2fReportService2006.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
--.
I found some related posts and have tried the following, but none have helped:
Removed all reports and reuploaded only the one that was definitely working.
I changed the application pool for the report server to be the same app pool as Sharepoint (runs under domain admin account).
I changed the application pool for the report server back to it's original (which the Reporting Services Configuration prefers - was running under Network Service acct before the problem started, now running under domain admin acct)
I can browse to http://server/reportserver.
I'm running under forms authentication, which had been working.
I can access the three configs for Reporting Services under Application Management in Central Admin - I've tried changing the settings.
I can access http://server/_vti_bin/reportserver/reportservice2006.asmx as well as http://server/_vti_bin/reportserver/reportserviceauthentication.asmx (that was suggested in one post)
I've restarted IIS numerous times, and also finally rebooted the server.
I've created a new document list and set it for report content, just like the other list.
I also just noticed that even though I've set up my admin account as a site collection administrator, I now no longer see my report options under the New button in the document library (both the old and new). I don't know if this is related.
I'm sure that this is a case of something minor that I did that I forgot about. Any suggestions or other troubleshooting that I can do?
Thanks!

If I upgrade my sharepoint Database from MSDE that comes with sharepoint, to SQL 2005 Express, will I lose my no limit on the Database size?
Normally MSDE has limit of 2GB but I guess it doesn't when installed with Sharepoint services. So if I upgrade to 2005 express, will I then get a 4 GB limit on size?
Thanks for your help
