How Do I Programatically Give Permission To Items In SQL Reporting Services
Mar 4, 2008
Hi There,
I have an application which is using SQL Reporting Services 2005. I have all my RDL files under a root folder named "X". Now I need to give users/groups permission to browse the reports under this folder. I need to do it programatically using the web services class ReportService2005 (I thought this would be the right class to do this task). Can anyone please throw some light on this.
I'm having an issue creating a report that can group & sum similar items together (I know in some ways, the requirement doesn't make sense, but it's what the client wants).
I have a table of items (i.e. products). In some cases, items can be components of another item (called "Kits"). In this scenario, we consider the kit itself, the "parent item" and the components within the kit are called "child items". In our Items table, we have a field called "Parent_Item_Id". Records for Child Items contain the Item Id of the parent. So a sample of my database would be the following:
Item's 2 & 3 are child items of "Kit A", Item 5 is a child item of "Kit B" and Item 6 is just a stand alone item.
So, in my report, the client wants to see the SUM of both the kit & its components in a single line, grouped by the parent item. So an example of the report would be the following:
Name | Available Qty -------------------------- Kit A | 15 Kit B | 25 Item 4 | 100
I have a table with a row group "Sales Area" that lists customers per sales area. There is one column with the sales per customer and another column with the planned sales per customer.A third column "Under Plan" is a simple calculation that compares the two Report Items of the sales to the plan and puts a 1 there if plan is higher. My issue is how to get the total of the group "Sales Area", to display the group total of all customers that are under plan. SSRS doesn't let me use aggregate functions on group totals;Unfortunately I cannot pre-calculate the "Under Plan" figure in the query, since this example is a simplified overview (the customers is a distinct count for example...)
I have the following record set; for each group where the code of OP=MTL summarize Cost; that is group 10-10= 300, group 20-20=300, group 30-30=600. Then I need to total groups 10-10 and 30-30.
I used ReportItems fields for each break as;
=SUM(IIF(Fields!OprSeq.Value=10 and Fields!RelatedOperation.Value = 10, Fields!Cost.Value,0), "Related Operation") etc,
But obviously when the result is false the ReportItem returns zero, and now I lost the value calculated previously.
I have a project with SQL sever reports in it. During a test upon returning to the VS 2013 Professional interface, the tool box area still had the previous information displayed and never returned to what should be there for the report design tools.I restarted VS, and the toolbox no longer looked like it did before. Specifically, the datatable tool among others was missing. I was unable to "refresh" the datatable after making changes to it.
I opened other Reports in design mode, and the tools did not show up for those either.The Report Items in the toolbox does contain things like Pointer, Text Box, Line and so forth.
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The TypeName field has a value that is not valid. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidElementException: The TypeName field has a value that is not valid. at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2010Impl.FindItems(String Folder, BooleanOperatorEnum BooleanOperator, Property[] SearchOptions, SearchCondition[] SearchConditions, CatalogItem[]& Items) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2010.FindItems(String Folder, BooleanOperatorEnum BooleanOperator, Property[] SearchOptions, SearchCondition[] SearchConditions, CatalogItem[]& Items)
The type appears to be correct. I've tried type of "Folder" and receive the same error.
Now I would like to sort these by using the Interactive sort functions - but I have seen elsewhere that this is not possible..(I'm also getting an error when trying..)Is there not a way that I can bypass this (using Code function or similar) ? The datasource for the data is a OLAP cube
I have a problem with report built in SSRS and deployed with Dashboard Designer to Sharepoint. There are few filters connected to report, 2 of them are multivalue. Regardless of data returned, when I select too many items in filter, the report is getting super small. It doesn't matter what you select, size changes when you select exact number of items or more. I replaced report with single line (filters where still conected) - result was the same. Small amount of items selected:
More items selected:
Size of the raport in Dashboard Designer is set to "Percentage of dashboard page", when I selected autosize, result was the same.
Product Type - A Product Name - 1 Product Price - 1 Product Name - 2 Product Price - 2
Product Type - B Product Name - 1.1 Product Price - 1.1 Product Name - 2.1 Product Price - 2.1 Product Name - 3.1 Product Price - 3.1
Similarly i have different Product types and product names and its prices underneath each product type. As you can see, there might be varied number of products under the product type so i am grouping it on Product type. The issue is when i export the report to pdf or word, when ever we have a big group of Product Type( example: Product Type X and it has 10 different Products under it) along with few other smaller groups, the big group tends to jump on to the next page of word or pdf and leaves a big empty space in the previous page. Any way i can break those big groups and fit as many as we can on the page and the rest should follow onto the next page rather than leaving the previous page with blank space.
I was able to build and Preview the report, but ran into an issue when trying to deploy the report that I created. After reviewing various postings on this issue, I still can't seem to get past the issue.
Currently running SQL 2014 Developer Edition, SQL Server Data Tools for VS 2013, and O/S Windows 8.1 all on the laptop. I followed the video and left the default value of LocalHostReportServer. System said LocalhostReport Server could not be found.
I went to SQL Configuration Manager and tried using the Logon as the URL. Still received the same error.
I went to Reporting Services Configuration Manager and used the URL, still received the same error.
In order to enable the report cache and set data refresh options, in sharepoint library on report file,I am selecting "Manage processing options" as mentioned in MSDN
[URL] ....
But I am getting error "EXECUTE permission was denied on the object xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs" I have granted the execution rights for all procedures as mentioned here but still error isnot going

Where can I find SSRS failure logs, I can see execution3 but it is not storing this information...
I'm creating one of my first asp.net pages, and it accesses an MS SQL database.It runs fine locally, but if you go to it remotely through a web browser, you get an exception saying that the database login failed for user ASPNET.My brother told me to do the following in SQL Server Managment studio. It seems I don't have that program installed, so I did it from the SQL command prompt.CREATE LOGIN [bigblueASPNET] FROM WINDOWSuse AdventureWorkscreate user [bigblueASPNET](Where "bigblue" is the computer name and "AdventureWorks" is the database my asp.net web page reads from).This only partially fixed the problem - now when you open the page remotely and try to access the DB I get an error message saying that permission to use the SELECT command is denied.I searched on these forums, and found this:http://forums.asp.net/69166/ShowPost.aspxFor future reference, let's call what my brother told me "Method 1" and what the previous poster did as "Method 2."I haven't tried method 2 because I don't know exactly what I am giving ASPNET permission to do. Does method 2 enable ASPNET to do anything to any database? It seems method 1 is more secure, as from the commands I could already tell it only has permission to access AdventureWorks.So, I'd prefer to use method 1. Can anyone tell me what further commands I can use to give ASPNET permission to do specific actions?If I can't figure out method 1 and have to do method 2, how can I undo what I did in method 1?Thanks!
Tools -> connect to database -> Select datasourse - Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient) -> Server name - comp4_8SQLExpress -> Log on to the server Use Windows Authentication -> Connect to a database -> Select or enter a database name MyDataBase
comp4_8 - is the name of my computer. I am using Windows XP Professional SP2. Login as administrator without password.
Now about the problem I have. On local machine everything is great! But I hosted my website and got this error. The question is how to give permission to this user to connect to my database. Cannot open database "MyDataBase" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'ANGELINAASPNET'.
In my report i have CNAME parameter , which allows null value. I checked Allow null value check box in report parameter properties.
when i preview the report , it displays checked NULL check box beside CNAME parameter . I want to give some meaningful name(i.e.ALLCustomers) to this checkbox instead of NULL.
I am using a "Client" dimension that includes a "Holding - Client" hierarchy. I have to make sure, that only the appropriate roles may access appropriate members from this dimension, but I only have the information which role may access which ClientID - I do not have the information which HoldingID should be accessible. Also, "Client" is used as the key column of the dimension with "ClientID" and "HoldingID" as key columns. The hierarchy is strict, no client may belong to multiple holdings.
I cannot seem to find the right MDX for the allowed member set. My MDX expression would need to look like this:
[Client].[Holding - Client].[Client].&[*]&[123]
In this example I want to give access for client &123, no matter the holding, so &1&123 and &2&123 would be allowed.
Hi , Could anybody point me to an NT/DOS script ( e.g a batch file ) that could check if the MSSQL Server and SQL Server Agent Services are running ?
I am trying to write the following script to check for the status. Each of the following commands gives a 1 as output if the service is running and 0 if it is not. The problem I am facing is that I am not able to check the output after the command is executed. I am neither able to assign it to a variable or include the whole command in an IF statement.
net start | find /c /i "MSSQLServer" net start | find /c /i "SQLServerAgent"
Is there any other way to do this programmatically ? Any help is greatly appreciated.
My vb .net app creates programatically a package. I mean, you can provide name, description, number of OLEDB/ADO connections, variables and so on, where it's stored, from a WinForm.
Up to the moment, process only creates boxes separately wihtout links.
My concern is after this successful cycle I only can open that DTSX and see its components but executing button is disabled (only possible with DTEXECUI.exe) from BIDS.
Only when I create a project (DTSPROJ) and then I put that same .DTSX inside I am be able to execute it.
Well, up to here all of this is very good. Things were created this way for some reason.
My question now is how do I from my application in order to create dtsproj and dtsproj.user (I don't know how many files are needed) and be able to create a package and its "father project". My idea is that the user can choose if create a standalone DTSX or a full project.
what is MS's strategy for having two off the shelf ways of getting at reports? In a typical company, is the average non administrator type user getting at his reports via one, the other, both?
I'm trying to create a couple of reports and I'm having trouble coming up with a way to do what I need to do. I already have several SQL views that I use for other reports, and they are geared toward either order-based or product-based reporting. For order-based reporting, I'm grouping the detail order lines by the order number. For product-based reporting, I'm not worrying about the order numbers necessarily. Here's my problem. I need to report on orders that have a particular product line in them (the product codes in this case start with the same letter, unique from other product lines), and separate the dollars coming from that product line and what sold with it. Something like:
Orders sold with these (A) products in them: Aproduct1 total orders $1000, $600 of which was Aproduct1 and $400 of which was Bproduct1 and Bproduct2 Aproduct2 total orders $500, $500 of which was Aproduct2 Aproduct3 total orders $700, $400 of which was Aproduct3 and $300 of which was Cproduct4 etc.
The data looks like this: (Order#) 12345 (ProductCode) Aproduct1 (quantity) 1 (dollars) $200 12345 Bproduct1 1 $100 12348 Cproduct2 2 $500 12350 Aproduct2 1 $500 12350 Cproduct1 1 $50 12350 Bproduct2 1 $300 etc.
So I'd need to pick out orders 12345 and 12350 and separate the dollars. The thing is the three products in 12350 don't know about each other.
I have designed a report that allows the user to select multiple values to be passed to SSRS. When I deploy and run the report from Report Manager I can select 1 to n values and then run the report. It works great. Now I attempt to call Reporting Services from my Web Site. I format the URL and attempt to pass the mutliple values in the URL. An example would be http://YadaYada&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rcarameters=false&OrderTypeID='1,2' The report uses a Stored Procedure that is expecting @Ordertype Varchar(1000). And Yes, the Stored Procedures handles the multiple values being passed to it. What I receive is an error message (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch). Any suggestions on how to pass these values?
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?
I am using Sql Server 2012. I have a table which has a field as Datetime (it is a table in Dynamics CRM 2011 so I have no control of the data type). Say this field is called BisStartDate. If I run this query in management studio.
select BisStartDate, BisStartDateutc from myTable where _bisnumber=10375
I will get:
BisStartDate BisStartDateutc
2014-07-29 00:00:00.000 2014-07-29 05:00:00.000
*in CRM, datetime is saved in 2 fields, one is the current time, the other one is the utc time.
You can see the offset between the datetime and utc is 5 hours.
However when the same statement was running inside a SSIS package on the server, the result returned is:
I will get -5 if I run it in ManagementStudio and -6 is running on server package(running inside VisualStudio will be -5, same as running a query in ManagementStudio).
I think when the record was saved, “date” is 5 hours offset to UTC time but now the system use the current utc offset which is 6 hours. I just want to use the BisStartDate as it is. How do I let the SSIS turn off the conversion.
The same datatime is saved in another system then we compare them to check the data entry. Now because of this one hour difference, sometime the Day will be different.
I have my reporting server running on server1 my web server is running on SERVER2. I have a web application the renders a report using the srs2005 web service. It works fine. I try to add another server server3 the application that runs that code is now getting the following error. I know I had to give permissions to the the server I just do not remember were.

Hi: I'm try to create a stored procedure where I sum the amounts in an invoice and then store that summed amount in the Invoice record. My attempts at this have been me with the error "The multi-part identifier "items.TAX" could not be bound"Any help at correcting my procedure would be greatly appreciate. Regards,Roger Swetnam ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateInvoiceSummary] @Invoice_ID intAS DECLARE @Amount intBEGIN SELECT Invoice_ID, SUM(Rate * Quantity) AS Amount, SUM(PST) AS TAX FROM InvoiceItems AS items GROUP BY Invoice_ID HAVING (Invoice_ID = @Invoice_ID) Update Invoices SET Amount = items.Amount WHERE Invoice_ID =@Invoice_IDEND
I am struggling to come up with a set-based solution for this problem (i.e. that doesn't involve loops/cursors) ..A table contains items (identified by an ItemCode) and the set they belong to (identified by a SetId). Here is some sample data:
SetIdItemCode 1A 1B 24 28 26 310 312 410
[code]....
You can see that there are some sets that have the same members:
- 1 and 10 - 2 and 11 - 7, 8 & 9
What I want to do is identify the sets that have the same members, by giving them the same ID in another column called UniqueSetId.
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.
Basically i'm trying to create an SSIS workflow to download Sharepoint List data to SQL Server on a schedule of some kind.do we actually have to use the GAC install approach in order to get the Sharepoint List Destination and Sharepoint List Source entries to appear on the SSIS Project workflow entities?
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
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?
