I have tried asking the same question in other forums. All i get is links
Please help me. I have the following requirement:
I have the following tables:
Theater - TheaterId, TheaterName, Revenues,locationid, stateid
State - StateId, StateName
Location - LocationId, LocationName, StateId
I want to generate reports that will tell me the revenue generated for each theater in each location in a state. I want to run a batch process which will loop through the 3 tables and will passing the location and state id as parameters one by one. I want each report to be generated as a pdf and stored in a location. How do I do this?
I have a problem running a batch file, now the problem is that when i run the batch file the command prompts the user for an input, but I have all the output of the bat file going into a log file. So when i run the bat file the process just sits there until i hit the 'y' key or unless i nput sumthin manually. This is a problem becuase this batch file is running on the UAT server as a job and there is no one there to input once the job is running. The commnd in the batch only requires an input once a month.
for eg if run: launch_scrt.bat and i want to put sum parameters such as 'y' or 'n' to avoid the manual input once the job is running. Any ideas?
Hello everyone,I have around 20 reports in an ASP web-application which connects to aSQL Server 2000 dB, executes stored procedures based on inputparameters and returns the data in a nice tabular format.The data which is used in these reports actually originates from a 3rdparty accounting application called Exchequer. I have written a VBapplication (I call it the extractor) which extracts data fromExchequer and dumps the same into the SQL Server dB every hour. Therunning time for the extractor is an average of 10 minutes. Duringthese 10 minutes, while the extractor seems to run happily, my ASPweb-application which queries the same dB that the extractorapplication is updating becomes dead slow.Is there anyway I can get the extractor to be nice to SQL Server andnot take up all its resources so that the ASP web-application users donot have to contend with a very very slow application during thosetimes?I am using a DSN to connect to the dB from the server that runs theweb-application and well as the other server which runs extractor.Connection pooling has been enabled on both (using the ODBCAdministrator). The Detach Database dialog gives me a list of openconnections to the dB. I have been monitoring the same and I havenoted 10-15 open connections at most times, even during the executionof extractor.All connection objects in the ASP as well as VB applications areclosed and then set to nothing.This system has been in use from 2002. My Data file has grown to 450MBand my Transaction Log is close to 2GB. Can the Transaction Log be aproblem. For some reason, the size of the Transaction Log does not godown even after a complete dB backup is done. Once a complete dBbackup is done, doesn't the Transaction Log lose its significance andcan be actually deleted? Anyway this is another post I'm doing todayto the group.In the extractor program,1) I create a temporary table2) I create an empty recordset out of the table3) I loop through the Exchequer records using Exchequer's APIs, addingrecords into the recordset of the temporary table as I go along.4) I do an UpdateBatch of the Recordset intermitently5) I open an SQL Transaction6) I delete all records from the main table7) I run a INSERT INTO main_table SELECT * FROM #temp_table8) I commit the transactionI hope that the information is sufficientThanksSam
I have a SSIS package with the last three tasks in the control flow are stopping the SSAS, then "on success" the second last task is execute a batch file to copy a bunch of files to a remote server using the robocopy command, then "on success" the last task is to start the SSAS. I test all three tasks individually and they are all working fine. The problem is in-between the second last task and the last task, the second last task is to execute a batch file and then forward to the last task. The task just moved to the last task once the batch file is executed and it did not wait until the actual robocopy job is completed. Therefore it caused a problem in the robocopy process. Thanks.
I have an "execute process" task which executes a perl script. When I run the task, it shows a prompt with the message "the publisher can not be verified". It gives the option to continue the task or to cancel.
The problem for me is that I want to schedule this package to run automatically, and I don't want the automated process to show this dialog. I need to override the security setting and have SSIS execute my batch scripts without prompting. Assuming I don't want to rewrite the Perl code into a script task, is there a way to do acomplish this?
Trying to run a SSIS package from a SQL job, and the package itself has a step that calls a process task that runs a batch file. The syntax in the process task I have is the following:
executable: c:windowssystem32cmd.exe Arguments: /C e:SungardPTAencryptfile.bat Working Directory: e:sungardpta

Can a batch file that resides on another server be executed from a different machine? I have a batch file that resides on a server that I would like to run using SQL 2005 Integration Services. Is there anything I can do that would allow me to remotely execute this batch file and have it run in that environment.
BATCH FILE:
cd C:Trandev otrun -at OTRecogn.att -DINPUT_FILE=%1 -tl 1 -cs dv -lg mylog -I C:Trandev represents the remote environment
I have tried mapping the remote machine to a network drive on my local machine and using that drive to execute the batch file in an Execute Process Task, but it does not work.
SSIS:
I have a FOR EACH loop grabbing files and writing fileName to a variable that is passed to the Process Task as an argument through an expression(%1 in the batch file above). The Working Directory is a mapped network drive. The Executable is also a network drive plus batch file name.
Any help would be appreciated.
My computer is a HP Compaq dc7100, 512mb RAM, WindowsXP
I have a remote batch file on machine B that I need to execute using 'Execute process task' control from a package on machine A. The batch file uses pgp software and encrypts a file sitting on machine B itself. The reason why my batch file is sitting on machine B, is because the PGP software is on machine B.
If I execute the batch file by itself from machine B, the script runs fine. I refer the same batch file as a UNC path from my package on machine A. But that does not work since the 'Working directory' is still machine A. I can not set machine B's folder as the working dir because it does not accept UNC path. So I say, ok , let me map a path to that UNC location and map it as drive 'Z:'. Certainly if I do so, I will be running the process on machine A and the batch file will look for the pgp software on machine A, and hence fail.
I have tried third party remote batch execution tools (PSEXEC) but have not had success, not because of SSIS limitations, but simply because the PGP executable when run through the PSEXEC tool, does not identify the location of the public keys on machine B and hence gives an encrytion failure.
How do I get the remote batch file to execute such that it executes with its own env? Is there a better remote execution tool I can try or are there any other features of SSIS I can use to get around this issue? I need the results of the batch file and hence do not want to make it an asyncronous process.
Setup is a common VB.NET application, SQL back, with 5-10 users. Occassionaly from another VB.NET app, I'll need to run a process to upload and insert a handful of records. The records are somewhat large with 100+ fields that require a handful of SELECT and UPDATE statements making the server 'busy' for several minutes.
Independently, the Main application and the Upload application work just fine. It's only when users are active in the main application during the time of the 'upload' process. It's almost as if they 'bump' into each other and the server throws up errors on either app even simple SQL statements. The same tables are being queried, but it doesn't feel like a concurrency issue.
Are these problems expected when running somewhat of a high load? Any ideas on how to make these guys work together without them fighting? Shouldn't SQL be able to handle the statements even during the barrage of update queries and requests? What happens in situations with hundreds or even thousands of users simultaneously accessing?
I am new to this, but have scoured the web and not found an answer to my question...
I have an execute process task that runs a simple batch file. When this batch file completes with an ERRORLEVEL greater than 0, I would like the task to fail. I thought this simply meant setting the "FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue" property to true, and setting the SuccessValue to 0. However, this does not appear to work.
Even with a simple batch file forcing the errorcode to 1 as follows, the task still completes "successfully".

Hi, I have craated an interface for generating the rdl file through c# (User will select some fields for group and some for details and report will be generated accordingly). I am generating the XML for the rdl according to the schema. And the report is running fine in my local system where i am using sqlexpress but is not working in production. The problem is coming with the datasource as follows.
An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'SOP'. Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection
I am using Integrated Authentication, below is the datasource code generated by c#
When i am pasting the RDL xml to my BI project's Report it is giving preview properly, but after deployment it is not coming. I have tried with SQL Authentication also by removing the IntegratedSqcurity element and changin g the connection string to add "sa" userid, but still it doesn't run and gives the same error and if i refresh the report with the refresh button of report viewer, it shows some Wrong String Format error.
When i am editing the dataset in the report designer(BI Project), the connection string is not storing password and username info in the xml of the rdl, i read somewhere that it stores these values in VS2005 and reporting service database with some encryption and don't keep in the xml. So it is seeming to me that i am not sending these credentials to reporting service while deployment through my c# code. Below is my deployment codebyte[] byteRDL;System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoder = new UTF8Encoding();
byteRDL = encoder.GetBytes(reportDefination);
Property[] rsProperty = new Property[10];
//Property property = new Property();Warning[] warnings;

I have been generating report models for users to use with Report Builder and there is no data when they select the model. I noticed that the tables I chose did not have a primary key and when I chose a different table, with a primary key, and generated a model from it, then there was data for the user to use in Report Builder.
Is there a documented work around or will I need to set a primary key on each table?
I am using ssrs and vs2005 to develop reports.The deployed reports are placed in the source directory(c:source) and i am using a asp.net page with a button on it to generate a report in .Pdf format and after generation this Pdf document will be placed in a destination folder(c: arget).
Can anyone help me out in solving this or atleast direct me as how to go on with it?
I have been using ms sql 2000 database for generating reports up till now . but now as per a new requirement , i have to obtain data for generating the report from sql express & not ms sql 2000 , and that too in offline mode . i do not know how the structure of data is there in sql express .
1)do we have data stored in tables? or do we use xml ?
2)do we write similar queries as we write in ms sql ??
3) and lastly what is this offline stuff ???
Can any one please throw some light on comparison between sql 2000 and sql express in these three points.
Wasted a lot of time figuring out the possible cause of this. I was working in connected mode (with VSS), and when it tried to create a Report Model (after doing all its validations/checks), it had to check-out the project file, which is normal. But before doing so, it tries to check-out the .dsv file as well (data source view file from which report model is being generated). While attempting this, the visual studio crashes. I could never guess that this could be an issue. All the time I was trying to figure out if there was anything wrong with the data in my tables. So, for me, a simple solution worked - check-out the .dsv file before you start creating data model. I hope this may save time for others...
My problem is this: How do I dynamically generate a Report Model Definition with c#?
Is there some sort of method I could call from the ReportingService2005 web service? Or some sort of APIs I could use?
If I didn't have a dynamic database structure, I would just create a Report Model Definition with BIS and then deploy the same model to each customer. However, our product creates additional tables in the database, depending on what data users wish to collect.
There are currently 2 solutions for this problem. First, I can manually create a Report Model Definition through the Buisness Intelligence Studio (BIS). However, I wish to be able to dynamically generate the report model without having to go through BIS. Second, I could use C# and manually write the XML of the SMDL. However this seems problematic.
I'm really hoping for some MS API that I'm missing out on here. Thanks for the help.
I have a daily report which each morning generates monthly information for the current month which was implemented in December. Everything was working correctly untill January 1st. On the 1st the report generated blank since it was suppose to generate 1-31 Dec but but the currently month was Jan, so it failed. How do I program it so if it is the 1st of a month generates the previous month but still would generate current month but while in the current month? Any help is appreciated.

I have a reported that generated over 100,000 leter to the individual clients. Because this is involved with the law firm, the orginal letter from report pdf patch need to be keep. To make matter worst, the pdf file need to break down individual letter for the client, for record keeping and instant access by client via the website. Does report server have the ablility to break the batch report into individual file? Have anyone had similar project? Any suggestion on how to tackle this problem?
I have to invoke a batch file (.bat) when an ad-hoc report is executed. I've currently written a .Net code for invoking (using System.Diagnostics.Process) the batch file. The rdl file calls the method.
When I run the report from Report Designer the batch file is getting executed. But if I deploy it in the Reporting Server and run the report through Web Interface the batch file is not getting executed.
Looks like some security issue. Can someone provide a solution for this?
I want to use Report Designer in SQL Server 2005 to generate monthly invoices for customers. I would need to somehow automatically repeat running the same report, but for a different customer ID each time. Kind of like a batch process.
How can I make this happpen?
The data is in SQL Server 2000. I have Visual Studio 2008 if that helps.
I know Crystal Reports can do this, using the Crystal Reports server. But I'm hoping to find a way to do it using MS Reporting Services.
I was wondering if it was possible to call reporting server web service directly from my sql server stored procedure. The call that I need to make to reporting web service needs to generate the report in a PDF format.
When creating a report using reporting Services with a cube as a datasource, visual studio 2005 hangs. I have applied SP1 to visual studio.net 2005 .
This is the query generated by query designer in reporting services. When I try to drag and drop another dimension to slice it by , visual studio hangs.
The fact table has just 10,000 records. Are the number of dimensions used to slice the cube too many? How do I optimize this query?

1. Does SSRS is J-Sox Compliant, an application must have audit trail feature. For Reporting printing, it should facilitate reports' data logging process.
2. Information like WHO and WHEN printed the report and WHAT data was viewed?
I need to take a variable from a tabel in SQL Server pass to a Batch file and execute the batch file. Right now I can exec the batch file with XP_CMDSHELL but how can I pass the variable to the batch file and loop through all the variables.
I was trying to extract data from the source server using OLEDB Source and SQL Server Destination when i encountered this error:
"Transaction (Process ID 135) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.".
What must be done so that even if the table being queried is locked, i wouldn't experience any deadlock?
Hello all, I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.
So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with
FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation. and it also logs FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).
I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone. As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.
Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.
