Hello! We are having a strange problem with Reporting Services 2005. Our RS server is located in a DMZ with the supporting RS database housed in our internal network. We have a batch of reports that perform well when rendering to browsers in our internal network. However, when accessing these same reports externally, the reports take a very long time to render. The difference between internal vs. external is huge; we are looking at maybe a minute tops to render the report from an internal browser vs. 10-15 minutes from an external client browser. The website and reports are setup for anonymous access, so it shouldnt be an authentication problem.
The RS execution log doesnt indicate much difference between the two. The data retrieval does take a little longer (only a second or two), according to the log, for an external request. But still, the times recorded in the Execution Log dont match at all what we are experiencing for external requests.
The various logs, both for reporting services and IIS arent picking up any anomalies either and Im at my wits end as to what else I can use to try and troubleshoot this problem. Has anyone seen this behavior before, or have any ideas what might shed some light on this?
As far as I know there are 2 ways to render the report in a Web page: 1. Using ReportViewer control and call its Render method 2. Using URL access
Which of the method is faster? As we are in the process of increasing the Performance of our Reporting Web Application. I appreciate any suggestions in this regard.
Hello, I have a sql server installed on a server in my server room.
The problem I have is that when I try to connect to the server, it takes a loooooooooong time to open the connection. Even when connecting through the Sql Server Management Studio it takes about 30 seconds just to open the connection.
Can anybody help me with some pointers on how to troubleshoot this issue? It only happens with this specific server
It might be a configuration issue, but where can I find information on how to configure it correctly?
First of all, this is not in reference to using SRS (SQL Reporting Services) to render a report and then use one of the extensions to render the complete report as a pdf, tiff, excel etc. We have an opportunity to render a list of claims and then embed the supporting docs for each of the claims within the report. We don't have an issue referencing jpg and gif images via URLs and then rendering them within the report after the grid information. We do have an issue rendering tiff images within the report.
You can insert an image object into SRS at design time and have it render and you can convert a complete report to a tiff image but I cannot find a way to be able to render a tiff image when running the report. All you get is the red "x".
My question is has anyone encountered the same issue and, if so, what did you do to resolve the issue?
I am extracting RS reports through a WebService: report = execService.Render("EXCEL", null, out extension, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamIds);
Some works fine but some are generating the following SoapException:
Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. ---> Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. ---> Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. I set required parameters to their default values. In this specific report I have two required parameters: 1: ReportParameterTime, String 2: ReportParameter1, String
I set them to their default values (ReportParameterTime to "[Czas].[Kalendarzowy].[Rok].&[2007]" - means Time Calendar Year 2007) but I am getting the exception above. I set parameters using this code:
Where parameterValues is a List<ReportExecution2005.ParameterValue>.
When I am using Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer the report is generated without any problems. I can see one parameter to choose: "Kalendarzowy" (means adj. Calendar) and can select years, the default value is "2007".
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this error ? Does anybody know ?
Hello, I'm using Reporting Services to render a text (stored in sql as varchar(max)). The text is all plain text, with some lines having trailing spaces.
Source text file i've imported to SQL via SSIS: CLIENT: 10055 STATEMENT 2007 DATE:1002993 THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3 TRY THIS
*Note the trailing spaces on the line before 'STATEMENT 2007'.
I've designed a report using the Report Project in VS2005 to retrieve this text via a stored procedure. When I test the report using the 'Preview' tab in the IDE, it looks good CLIENT: 10055 STATEMENT 2007 DATE:1002993 THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3 TRY THIS
But when I deploy the report and run it using URL Access:
CLIENT: 10055 STATEMENT 2007 DATE:1002993
THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3 TRY THIS
On all lines with trailing spaces, they (the trailing spaces) have been removed. This is affecting my formatting of some reports and statements. We really want to use the report viewer as it has built in paging, print and export capabilities.
Why does it look okay in VS2005 but different in Report Viewer via URL Access and Report Manager?
Note: When I export as PDF, it looks okay.
The stored procedure I use to return the data is a CLR Hosted assembly as below:
Code Snippet Partial Public Class StoredProcedures <Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()> _
Public Shared Sub GetPagedDocument(ByVal inText As SqlString) Dim dr As SqlDataReader Dim row As New SqlDataRecord(New SqlMetaData("RowText", SqlDbType.Text)) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select cast(doc as varchar(max)) as 'DOCTEXT' from testdoc WHERE id='" + inText + "'") Dim cn As New SqlConnection("context connection=true") cn.Open() cmd.Connection = cn SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsStart(row) 'initialise the resultset to be returned dr = cmd.ExecuteReader 'If no records in result set, return. If Not dr.HasRows Then
row.SetString(0, "There is no document to display or you do not have permission to view the document.") SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(row) SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd() ' SqlContext.Pipe.Send("There is no document to display.") Return End If 'Read rows in the result set dr.Read()
'Get the entire text Dim docText As String = dr.Item("DOCTEXT") 'debug row.SetString(0, docText) SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(row) SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd() Return 'end debug
I have designed a fairly simple report in report designer that uses an analysis services cube as its input, and a basic matrix object as the primary design component. Cube performance either via object browser in Analysis Services or via connection from Excel is great. It does exactly what you build a cube for, i.e. it builds aggregations you can get to quickly. However rendering from a report designer report within Report Manager is a different story.
Even though this report is being rendered from an execution snapshot, it is painfully slow at opening and closing different levels of drill down. The report does have six levels of drill down, which I am sure is a factor. If I use a smaller dataset, performance does become more acceptable. However, I don't consider the requirements of my report to be all that extraordinary.
My conclusion thus far is that larger data sets with many possible page renderings are not the best candidates for HTML rendered reports. In this case Microsoft's cube analysis add-in to Excel might be a better choice. Thoughts and feedback on either how to improve the rendering speed or other presentation alternatives that would perform better would all be welcome.
I have been using the following code, (thanks to Shyam), to display address fields. This works great when using preview in BIDS, but the address shows on one continious line when the report is redered in Reporting Services.
Hi All, I have a report which gets data for around 5 different parameters for 5 servers. It needs to render different graph for each parameter, each server. It renders it properly (after running long though, which can be understandable) on the Visual Studio Preview. But when deployed on the Report Manager, it does not produce the graphs. It runs for long time and ends up with this error:
The following error was encountered: We can not connect to the server you have requested.
This means that: The server might be busy at this time.
The server is not reachable.
Please try later to see if you can go through.
Though I have configured the report execution NOT to time out. As such, subscriptions also do not work, It says, "Failure sending mail: An error has occurred during report processing."
So, has anyone faced similar problem and fixed it? If yes, can you please share the same?
My report is currently rendering about 50,000 rows and can still be increased.I am using SSRS 2005.I am exporting my rdls into HTML,Excel and PDF.My problem is when i export all the rows in PDF it won't continue and an error was produced.It says "Too many results, please constrain your parameters or try the other format."But using the same parameter which brings out the 50,000 rows,it works fine in HTML and Excel.
Which of the 3 rendering extension is the fastest in performance?Could it be HTML?What could be the reason why it wont work on PDF?Can't it contain such bulk record?Or is there anything can be done to solve the problem? If anyone have encountered the same problem,we will be happy to hear from you.Any ideas and comments will be greatly appreciated..Thanks
we are using the sql server 2005 reporting tool and we are trying the render the data into the report. and we are getting this error.basically we are trying to render huge data.
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady)
I am designing a report that creates a letter to send to a named individual. To accomodate different address lengths, additional fields have been added to the db. Is there a method by which if an address filed is empty, it does not display in the redered report and the fields below it are moved up to close the gap?
Is there a way to determine how often a specific report has been viewed by a user? I have 30-40 reports set up (rendering from snapshot), and I'd like to determine which reports are the most frequented.
We have a "Comment" field that is saved as a HTML string to the DB. This field needs to be pulled into a report as rendered HTML.
I know this has been hashed out before, but has anybody found a good solution in the past couple of months?
We are thinking about storing two versions of the Comment in the DB: one with HTML, one as simple text. Has anybody found this an acceptable solution? I know it flies in the face of good DB design, but it seems the quickest, easiest solution...
Any word if this will be fixed in the next major release of SSRS? Can we expect this release any time soon?
I have a report viewer control within a web user control which i am using to display the report. The report has been designed within a Visual Studio Report Server project and it looks fine when previewed here but when i deploy the report to the reporting server the table rows within my report become stretched and there are other formatting issues, the formatting issues occur when the report is viewed from both reporting services server and my webpage. When the report is exported to a pdf from my website it looks fine why is the report not rendering correctly.
Hi, I have this problem on Reporting Services 2005 SP2:
There is a stored procedure that is the source of a dataset in report, this procedure return a recordset ordered by some fileds (es. order by fields1, fields2, ecc...). This procedure also have some parameters, but this isn't important. If I launch the stored procedure in sql server management studio the data are returned in the correct order, instead, when I run the report, the data are showed in wrong order.
I have created a custom assembly and referenced it and the program builds successfully. When I try to run the report in design mode, it will not render, it throws an exception when it tries to create a PDF. When I remove the assembly, the reports work well. So I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong - does anyone have any suggestions?
namespace Calculations
{
public class calcPercentage
{
public static decimal Percentage(decimal decValueOne, decimal decValueTwo)
I referenced the assembly and added it to C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies and I still get that error message so I do not know what the problem is.
The line where the exception occurs happens here:
byte[] bytes = MyReport.rvOutput.LocalReport.Render("PDF", null, out mimeType, out encoding, out extension, out streamids, out warnings);
Thanks so much for you help! If you have any suggestions about my next error...i'm all ears!
Ok guys, here's the problem. Normally if I were sorting a report that needed to be rendered to pdf or excel, I'll sort the data in the dataset before loading it into the reportviewer in my code. This is in vb, for example:
But for this particular case, I have to load the data into the report first, because in the actual report I have to combine two columns based on certain criteria (i do this using an expression for a column in my table) , and after those two columns are combined then they must be sorted.
But since the data is already loaded into the reportviewer I can't sort like I normally would, the report is rendered in either excel or pdf so interactive sort is pointless. I can't sort through table or properties or the properties of the text box because both fields are combined and you can only sort based on one field.
I have 2 reports called fundfacts_Full and FundFacts_half and both of them run using the same stored procedure called rpt_FundFacts.
When i run the dataset for both the reports i get 19 records and but when it renders the Fundfact_Full report it shows 18 records. Where as in the fundfact_Half it shows 19 records too.
Can some pls tell me whats going on and why its acting strange, i havent encountered these problems at all.
I am building reports using MS Visual Studio, and in the Preview tab I have the Refresh button and a button with a X to stop a report while rendering. However, when I deploy the report to the reporting server and I run it from the application the X button is not there, and users would find it useful sometimes to be able to stop long running reports. Is this a configuration change?
Let say I first use a URL in a web browser to render a PDF file.
Next the data changes.
Now I use the same browser session and call the URL again to render the PDF file; in the second rendering, the PDF report reflects the old data and not the changed data.
How do I force RS, using the same browser session, to render the second PDF file by requerying the data? Has any body come across the phenomenon? If I open a new browser session, the rendered PDF file reflects the new data. I have used Profiler to look at the SQL calls and sure enough, the second URL RS request does not requery the datasource.
i have a report that is on a subscription to my team members that i want to be rendered in the actual email that they open up. i do not want them to have to click on the pdf or excel attachment to open it up, i just want the content of the report to be in the email itself in outlook.
I've searched the forums on this issue, haven't really found the answer.
I have several nifty little sales reports which crunch a ton of data quite efficiently and render in just a few seconds in Report Manager. I've pushed as much of the data processing back to the server as possible, use a stored procedure (with parameters) in a shared datasource, don't return unneccessary data, all that. It works great.
When I first developed the reports, I continued generating my charts (which use the same data as the reports, just grouped differently) in Excel and pasting them in as images. Now I want to stop that nonsense and use the SSRS charts. I fooled around with the charting function and got a reasonable facimile of my Excel charts, two per report, which use their own separate stored procedures and the same shared datasource.
Now, reports that used to render in 5-8 seconds may take 1-5 MINUTES. Help! It's definitely the charts--taking them back out fixes the problem.
I have complete control over the datasources--would it make more sense to use non-shared sources, or to create totally separate shared sources? I saw a post that recommended "making data calls non-synchronous," but I have no idea how to do that.
my report dont fit on a A4 letter. thats not a problem at the report viewer but when i print or export the report. can i scale the report to fit to one page??
I am having a situation where my SSRS report when exported to PDF shows the exact report & when exported to MS Word, shows some unwanted space in the report column. Also the borders of the report are shown cut when exported.
I have developed a report in SSRS 2005. When I try to export the output to Excel, it shows an error saying:
Error occurred during local report processing.
Error occurred during rendering of the report. Stack Empty.
Do anyone have any idea what this means and how to fix it?
I can render the report in other formats (Adobe, csv etc) without any problem. My other reports, under same project and using same dataset, are working fine.
I am trying to render a report using the ReportExecutionService class render method. The report has a parameter ( Combo Box) which gets populated when the report is opened in report server. there are other parameters also. I am passing all the parameters in an array ParameterValue[] .
But the execution throws an error . I tried to catch the error using SoapException and the Error Code was "
rsReportParameterValueNotSet" for that parameter.
What i get is that i will have to paa all the parameters after opening the report so that the parameter (Combo box) get populated with the values and after that if I pass the parameters it should work.
For Example on the report server , when i open the link to the report that time it populates the data for parameter. Then i get the list of values gor the parameter.I am not able to find a way how to get this done through code.
I am not able to find any help regarding this. Please help at earliest.
I'm using ReportingServices 2008 and I've this message "The operation has timed out" when rendering a report with some parameters. I've set in the execution properties of this report : Do not apply the expiration time for the execution of the report.When I look the ExecutionLogStorage table from Report Server DataBase I see that I've no message for this report when timeRendering is 21109ms. When I change the report parameters to obtain more data, the timeRendering is 76866ms and I've the message "The operation has timed out".
I created a report with borders in the page header, the page body, and the page footer. When I preview the report in report viewer it is exactly how I want it and it also prints and exports to pdf perfectly. There's only a problem viewing it in report manager. The borders in the page header and footer show up right but the body of the report's borders don't show up at all. The body of the report also is no longer aligned with the page header and footer because it's borders seem to be unrecognized in the report manager view. Has anyone experienced this problem and/or figured out what to do to fix this? Please let me know.
I have been using the report viewer to render my reports on a webpage. All worked fine for a time and now nothing is working correctly.
I have about ~8 report viewer on one page, all in an individual IFRAME. What happen is, sometimes I'm getting an error from IE (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage) or the report starts loading (I see the title) but where the chart should be I have an X (broken image) icon.
Sometimes when I click on the image and choose "Display Image" the image will display.
Facts
Reports loads correctly on the report manager site (the Reporting Services webpage) Once those errors starts appearing, the session seems to act funny and I can't even refresh the webpage (F5) I have the latest report viewer patch installed I have the SP2 for SQL Server 2005 installed Running Windows 2000 Server Running IIS 6 The website was developped using IIS 5, but was tested on IIS 6 for about 3 weeks and we started to have problems today. The reports are linked with Analysis Services to get the data from cubes. I'm really out of ideas right now. Maybe I should just restart the IIS server, but the thing is live and I can't do it right now. However, if I need to restart it, will the problem occurs another time? Will it become a solution to restart the server?
I already restarted Reporting Services and nothing has changed.
I am trying to export ssrs report from sharepoint to pdf file.But i am getting error in it."Sorry, Something Went Wrong".But when i try to render report in visual studio when i preview report. It gets exported in 14 minutes. but there is no error.
We run std 2008.  In my ssrs log I see this for one of our most critical reports...
library!ReportServer_0-64!2244!07/07/2015-08:24:53:: Call to GetPermissionsAction(/somedirectory/somedirectory1).... which I assume is an indication of a report starting to render by first checking permissions.
Around the time my user says he still saw the revolving arrow and he stopped the report because he felt it was running too long, I see...
webserver!ReportServer_0-64!1dbc!07/07/2015-08:54:44:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''
How can it be true that he stopped it and ssrs reports that it processed the report?
About 4 minutes later I see this entry in the log...
webserver!ReportServer_0-64!15e4!07/07/2015-08:58:34:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''
Which processed report message is right? Could there be multiples cuz of subreports? I see a number of errors and exceptions around these same times but do not know how to tie either to a specific report. Is there a way?
