How Do 'you' Organize Reporting
Jan 9, 2007
Hello,
This is more a informational question. Until now we had over 50 reports ready in our system, we are almost ready to go into production and are starting to link all reports with eachohter. The first problem was that we had them all nicely grouped in different projects so that we could publish in a logical folder-tree. Problem is that we can't jump to reports that are nog in the same folder. Going by url changes the layout and parts of the report manager are gone.
We then started to have a look at Sharepoint but i can't find books on the topic SharePoint & SSRS that describes the possible options. I've seen quite some documents and ways to publish reports but until now we prefer to mail the periodical reports to the users with data-driven subscriptions.
So at this moment we don't know quite wha direction to take. Putting all reports in one folder would solve many linking problems but makes it quite messy for the users.... And the linking issue is a must. As we now will start to create our dashboards with SSRS too.
So, any suggestions on what road to take or what publications to read are welcome.
Kind Regards
Harry

I'm very new to SQL, so you'll have to excuse the nubishness of this question. I've got my trusty O'Reilly book here!
We're using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on our web server. I'm currently working on a project to get a few MS Access Databases available on the web page.
The web part is actually working fine, with the DBs exported into SQL for performance reasons. (From what I've read pulling data from the .mdb file could cause me problems in the future, so I'm tossing it all onto the SQL server from the start.)
Before I get into the project full-tilt, though, I'm curious about how best to organize all the data?
I'm using the Upsizing Wizard in Access for the conversions, and every new DB gets added under Databases. If this gets approved I may be looking at well over a hundred DBs which will eventually be converted and made web accessible.
I can keep everything neat and tidy on the web server by just tossing things in a few directories, but the menu on the SQL Server Management Studio is going to become a mess really quickly if I let it just keep adding to +Databases.
Is there a way to sort everything into a series of folder/groups, like how System Databases has it?
Thanks in advance,
-Lamune

I was wondering that is there anyway to group components like we have #region in C#.

Hello,
I need some advice regarding organizing packages.
I am in starting phase of a data conversion project. As my ETL target, I have to produce around 70 flat files. I am creating one package for each target file. Some target files may be a result of 2-3 packages.
I have some common packages that get called from many other packages.
Before my solution tree grows into unmanageable state, I would like packages to get organized based on their target and purpose of the package.
The ideal solution to this problem would be to organize packages in a folder structure but I couldn€™t see any option to create folders in a solution.
I also noticed that we can€™t easily put package files next to each other even after renaming packages.
I was wondering is there a better or any way to organize packages in solution tree?

Greetings,I have one table, named Article, and one table name Category.The problem is, one Article could be in just one or in several categories.What is the best way to connect data between Article and Category according to fast search performance?I have several ideas:1. To have third cross table Article_Category with fields Article_ID and Category_ID, and search Article_Category table 2. To have several INTEGER columns in Article table (like Category_ID1, Category_ID2,..) and search those columns3. Add one VARCHAR field in Article table where I could write Category ID's delimited by some character (e.g. by comma), and do text search in only that column.What is recommended for solving problems like this?

Is there any way in which I could distinguish a group of Database users from the other users. Say for e.g. store the Database users hierarchically, etc. Adding a Prefix/Suffix to the user name as a distinguish-er will not work in my case. I want to restrict the deletion of these Database users. Even the login with sysadmin or serveradmin rights should not be able to DROP those Database users.

Hi There,
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?
Thanks.

We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.

HI There
We are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
This is for reporting services 2000 and 2005.
Thanx

Hello, I understand that SQL Express Advanced Edition does not support report subscriptions. However, I have two questions:
Is there a way to run a report in a batch mode where the web ui would not show and perhaps the result of the report could be automated to export to .pdf format?
Does anyone know if SQL Express 2008 with Advanced Services will support report subscriptions, or any sort of a batch reporting capability?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified.
Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases
Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Common.DBUtils.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.SqlClientTools.SqlTools.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'?
Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?
Any help is appreciated

I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.
This humble grasshopper seeks wisdom.

I'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.
One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:
Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets?
Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?
Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi all. I have a dts package called package1 that I run once a weekthat does some imports/queries against about the same amount of dataeach run. I am wondering (hoping!) if I can run a query that will showits performance over the past 6 months in terms of how long theexecution for each run took.I think SQL server saves this dts package run history somewhere and ifso how can I do this? Am I totally off base?

I work in a big project and we will begin in using reporting services as the base technique for reports and I will be responsible for this part. but I have a problem I will discuss in the following:
Currently: We use currently devexpress reports and we have 2 languages(Arabic and English). the data in tables saved in two ways (Arabic and English). when the end user change the language of the web site the report data language changed when run it.
Example:
we have table with (ID, NAME_AR, NAME_EN, JobTitle_AR, JobTitle_EN). designed report will display(ID, NAME_EN, JobTitle_EN) . but the end user change the language of the system the report will
dispaly(ID, NAME_AR, JobTitle_AR)Â
Hint:this done pragmatically
how to do this in reporting services.

Hi there, i have been asked to build some reports to extend an app that i wrote. I have written the basics but i am stuck on a few things
In SQL (or maybe C#) how can i break down my outstanding costs from orders into 1 - 3 days 3 - 7, 7 - 14, 14 - 21 - 21 - 30, 60, 90+
I have a basic idea, e.g. SELECT * FROM tbl_orders WHERE status = outstanding AND (date_ordered >= txtFromDate AND date_ordered <= txtToDate), i have used the between function, however because my DB is in american date, and my web.config formats it into UK date/time it throws an error

I'm finding it difficult to find any posts/articles on reporting in SQL Server 2005. I have a report that requires the name of the person using the machine. I have a table that contains their name with the user name, and I can pull the username out by setting a variable to Environ("username"), however, I either need to create a sub-report or find a way to query the database with the username via the code.
What would be the best way to do this, and if I have to do a sub-report, how do I pass parameters to the query?
Your help is much appreciated.
