How To: Link A Report To A Model As A Clickthrough Report
Jul 14, 2006
I'm having some difficulty linking a custome drilldown or clickthroug report to another report that I have already created in report builder. I followed a MSDN article found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345226.aspx but I cannot find the " Select a page area, select Drill-through reports" option in report manager. Does anyone have a better explanation on how to do this? I'm assuming that when you create the clickthrough report there has to some sore of filter on it that relates to the item of the clickthrough. I guess I'm I little confused, any help would be great. Thanks.
Hello - I am having difficulty enabling the automatic click-through functionality for my model. I have two entities - Customer & Incident. Incident is a role/FK/OptionalMany relationship to customer.
I've read through earlier postings on this subject (below) and have verified that the #Incidents attribute in my incident entity has the EnableDrillThrough=true.
My test report is simple - Customer Name (from customer) and #Incidents (from incident). When I run it, the click-through option is not available (the cursor stays as an arrow and doesn't change to a finger).
Are there other properties or settings that I need to be working with? I have SP2 (9.0.3042) installed on our Standard edition of SQL 2005. I know Infinite Click-Through is not in Std edition, but a few levels should be, correct?
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel as select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Please consider enhancing SQL 2005 Reporting Services to provide the ability to disable Clickthrough Reports (Live Links) at the Report and Export Function level. Today you can only enable or disable Clickthrough Reports at the View/Model Level for all Report Builder reports.
I have created and deployed a data source (which uses "Credentials supplied by the user running the report") and a model which uses this data source. Also I have built a report using Report Builder and all works well.
Now I wish to use Visual Studio to build a report, so I'm trying to create a data source from my computer which the report should use and I want it to use the model on the remote server. In the Report Wizard I am using "Report Server Model" and the following connection string:
IHowever I can't make the credentials to work. I've tried them all with no luck. What username/password must I use? Because so far nothing of what I have tried works.
I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill.
Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl.
Questions:
1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields?
2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl?
Is it possible to dynamically refresh the report model of the report builder?
could it even be using code with any of the interfaces?
When we add a table or add a column to the table in database , will the report model get refreshed automatically or do we need to do it externally. If so, can we use any of the objects and write a custom code in VB.

I have a report model that I am trying to deploy using report manager web service. A folder is created by the administrator to place all my SSRS reports. I deployed .rdl files using the "Upload file" function in "Report Manager". All the SSRS reports work fine but when I tried to upload .smdl file (report model file) using the Report Manager's "Upload file" function it gave me the following error message.
The permissions granted to user 'xxxxxxman' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Does this mean I only have permission to upload .rdl file but NOT .smdl file to my designated folder?
Hello, I've created a Report Model Project that can be used by Report Builder to generate ad-hoc reports. I'm trying to create a connection string in my Report Server Project that points to the Report Model Project data source view.
All I can do is create a regular datasource, which bypasses the metadata contained in the Data Source View.
Basically I want my Report Server Project and my Report Builder reports to leverage the same metadata. Is this possible? If so how do I get the connection string?
Recently, several of our users have started to experience issues with hyperlinks in a report. I have created a textbox added navigation and selected the report to 'jump to' and the users are getting this error:
The specified server url does not link to the report server for this report manager or is not in the correct format
I have changed this to a an url but the error persists - there is nothing on google or MSDN that i can find which relates to this error so im kinda stuck with this one! The error is not affecting all users, just a small subset of them. Each of the users has different AD rights with one of them being a Domain Admin so i dont think it is a security issue.
*obviously the <SERVERNAME> and <REPORTNAME> are not real server or report names - im just being cautious by not including this detail on a forum post.
Report manager is installed on several machines as part of a webfarm but this has not caused any problems in the past (i have over 200 reports under my belt thus far)
Hi ! I use ms sql server 2005, and I have a problem I have a dataBase where I have a lot of data, I have a webServices which calculate indicator for a time period and an id indicator. The time period must be specific and choose by the user, so I can't dto automatically by integrating the data from my webService in a dataBase (with IntegrationServices). So I create a report with 2 dataset, one which recover the indicator value for each equipment (the webService send a list of {<idEquipment> and <value>}) , and I want to link the idEquipment with the IdEquipement in my dataBase, it would allow me to know other informations about the equipment : equipement ID | Indicator value (from webServices) | equipment name | eq number | cumul of event duration for this eq.... All in the same grid... Does it possible ? If it is possible with the report designer, does it possible with report builder, as report builder need a model, how can i do to make a model from 2 dataSource... thank you for your answer...
I want to add a link in a report, possibly a url link or a link to other report. One way of doing this is to go to properties of textbox and then update the jump to option.
But how to do this through a click of a button, inside the report?
I am having Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, designer's version.
I am working on a Actuals vs Budget report which needs drillthrough capability. Right now the reports are not deployed, I am working on them in Visual Studio 2005.
My main report has a text box with the Navigation tab set to Jump to report: DrillThrough1025. I have set all the parameters to pass through to the drill through report.
When I preview my main report and click on the drillthrough textbox, the DrillThrough1025 Report opens, but it opens with the parameter bar at the top, waiting for the parameters to be filled in.
Am I making a basic newbie error somewhere?
Any ideas, references, or resources would be greatly appreciated.
Is there a way to combine the Bookmark and report link functionalities in reporting services. For example, I have two reports. When I click a link in first report, I would like to be able to navigate to second report but not at the top of the report but at a particular report item way down in the second report, sort of like an anchor on an HTML page. Can I do this?
I have a column of data on my report that contains an email address. Is it possible to format this so that the person running the report can just click on the link and have that action launch their email program...like Outlook?
Is there an API or a way to consume a Report Model? I want to try and roll my own simple web-based / thin-client Report Builder without using the ClickOnce control.
Here is one scenario. There is category X which has subcategories A,B,C,D. A has 5 products and B has some 7 products, C 5 products and D has some 12 products. My problem is I need create a Report model where is if we select X all the list of subcategories and their products should be displayed. I.e if we select X then A 1
2 3
4 5 B 1 2 3 4 5 C and so on..........every thing should be displayed that are under category, i.e subcategories under that category and the products under each subcategory of that category.
Can anyone please help me out to create a Report Model to generate ad hoc reports
I have a requirement to export certain data directly in csv format from the link thats in the report interface.
Though i am able to open new window report from the link by passing the needed parameter is there any way that we can directly open the excel from the link in data table in report..
I have set up a test subscription that sends an email that includes both the report and the url link to the report. However, the report does not render when user clicks on url link in subscription email. The parameter toolbar sorta appears at top of page but buttons are not showing correcty. I saw similiar issue posted in another forum but no one had resolved yet. We all noticed that the subscription email uses /reportserver folder instead of /Reports folder.
The report does appear fine in the email so I believe the problem is the URL.
In a report called ICD_PrivateHospital, I have designed to show output to two table from two store procedures. 1st store proc: usp_RPT_Private and 2nd store proc: usp_RPT_Private2.
I have created both the store procs and it is executing successfully. I also have designed the Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2008.
I have added both the store procs in the crystal report with no error. I only wants to show top 20 records. It is running successfully when I add the fields and parameters from the first store procedure. But when I add the 2nd store procedures fields into the report, duplication occurs for both the results in store proc 1 and store proc 2. How to solve this issue?
I've created a line chart in my report which lists number of transactions by month. I've also created a report to list transactions by day. My goal is for the user to select a month and link the report to the graph with the selected month divided up into days (in other words, the user wants to see the number of transactions for each day in the selected month).
Anyway, everything is working perfectly except for one thing. In the list of parameters that I am passing to the report for each day, I want to pass a multivalue parameter which contains all the transaction IDs the user selected in creating the report (these are supplied by a multivalue parameter). However, in the parameter dialog box where it asks for a value to send to the awaiting parameter, I do not know how to supply more than one value. If I need to pass one value, it will work fine. However, I would like to do something like:
JOIN(Parameters!TransactionID.value, ",")
for the value of TransactionID, but when I generate the report it is not accepting the values. I'm pretty sure its just a format issue, and I just need to know how exactly I should pass these values.
I already understand that when passing multivalue parameters in a URL you need something like:
TransactionID=1&TransactionID=2
...in order to select multiple values. However, this is a slightly different situation. I'm really running out of ideas, so any help would be much appreciated.
I created a report model and deployed it. When I open the rpt builder on web I get the following error.
'The selected data source does not have and content available'
Seemed like it would be a easy issue, but I cannot retrieve any data in the rpt model. The datasource I'm using does work for rpts not associated with the rpt model. Any suggestions? It seems like I've missed a step. Thanks, Lisa
schema and a generated model out of it. Now I€™ve few report requirements which will be developed based on Report Model. These Reports needs aggregate of All similar activities and the hrs spent and it'll be shown with every employee. Like Employee Xyz has spent 14 hrs total on Sick Activity, which will be shown as
Now i need to know the approach to develop it like i'v to ways in my mind
- create 3 custom fields(Sickhrs,Maternityhrs,Workhrs) in the Employee Entity(model), so that managers can create reports like above by simple drag and drop
- leave model as it is.. just create more descriptive fields in all the three table and let managers do the activity grouping etc to develop report like above..
Which approach should i follow? Moreover can you point me to some conceptual info like how report model works..etc..
Hi, it's my first time for using report model as the datasource of reporting service. But I don't know how to build the query string to get data from the report model. Can anyone help me?
I am using Oracle 9.2.6.0 and SQL 2005 SP2. I have created a report model based on Oracle DB. I use .Net Providers/Oracel Client Data Provider driver for my data source to connect to Oracle. It works fine but the performance is a bit slow. Then I tried to use .Net Providers for OLEDBOracle Provider for OLEDB driver. When I deploy, I got the following error message: "System.OleDB".
I tried to use my last resort, which is Native OLEDBOracle Provider for OLEDB. When I deploy, I got the following error message: "Exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' was thrown".
Anyone has this issue before? What is the best driver to use and what is the best approach in term of performance.
Hi, I've looked in vain for an answer to this, and it seems like it should be simple. Some new fields have been added to a table, and I need to add them to the Report Model. When I go to the data source view, the new fields do not show up in the table. Is there an easy way to get the new fields to show up, or do I need to delete the table (and of course the relationships), and then add it back. Thanks for any help.
The Adventure Works Model comes with 'Sales Person' entity inheriting 'Employees'. The Binding dropdown in the inheritance property for 'Sales Person' provides a 'FK_SalesPerson_Employee_SalesPersonID' choice. The Refining a Report Model in Model Designer Tutorial Lesson 10: Inheriting Properties from Other Entities, walks you through the process of setting this inheritance, but the Binding dropdown, after you set InheritsFrom to Employee, provides only the (None) choice. Anyone know why?
