I'm working on custom report manager. It manages "report entities" and
"report templates" (actually, RDLs uploaded on the server) and stores
one-to-many relation between them. The task is to store
"MasterEntityID" report parameter in every RDL and keep it up in actual
state whether RDL is being assigned to another entity or new RDL is
being uploaded and assigned. I've covered the first issue with
SetReportParameters() web method, but how should I deal with the second
one? Uploaded RDL may be short of the param, so I have to add it
programmatically while uploading.
What we'd like to do is programmatically generate and maintain a report model based on how the individual install is configured. I've found some documentation that makes me believe this is possible, but I'm hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction. The ReportingServices2005 class has several model related methods (CreateModel) and I found the .xsd for the semantic model XML file (http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10/semanticmodeling/SemanticModeling.xsd), but no real documentation on how to put together a Report Model document from scratch. Looking at the files generated from BIDS is somewhat overwhelming and I have no idea where I'd pull most of the information.
Finally, I want to create Report Model(.smdl) file without Report Model Designer.
I want to Implement CreateModel Method to create new model, any source code sample..??
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
How can we programmatically cause a Manual Report History Snapshot to be created.
I know it can be done using the Webservice. How would we do it using the ReportServer stored procedures. Which SP/SP's can we call. With what parameters.
I'm pretty new at this, how the heck do you edit and create parameters? Not really looking to edit code yet, just want to know how to use the interface to do this.
Hey All for some reason I can not get this right and/or find what I am looking for. I have an SQLDataSource with a PartID set as the filtered value in the Datasource Query. I am trying to use code beside to set the value and I am failing...lol... Here is my attempt at it, SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters("PartID") = txtPartID.Text Any help would be great!
Hi, I have metadata that stored my table structure and relationship. I would like to know is it possible to create table relationship programatically? Any sample?
I need to be able to create a DSN through code that connects to SQL Server using SQL Native Client. I have found the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q184608/. This demonstrates most of what I need, but it does not show how to set the username and password, which is something that I need to do.

i'm creating a Lookup programmatically. But i can't find out how to assign the ConnectionManager that references the lookup data. Do you have an example for me?
I am working on modifying a VB6 app that dynamically creates DTS packages to copy data from one database to another depending on the selections made in UI. The project currently uses DTSPackage object library and DTSDataDump Scripting object library. We are in the process of upgrading the server to SQL 2005. I am exploring the possibility of replacing code that generates DTS packages on the fly with SSIS packages.
Is it feasible to do this in VB6 ? I have referred to similar posts which focus mainly on VB.NET or C#. Any help with white paper or sample code would be appreciated.
I am creating a web application that uses a using a web service to get data for my reports. Since the webservice only accepts 1 parameter called "sql" (the sql select statement), I am using the report's query string to get the data.
Here is the data source and dataset info I am using:
DataSource Name: WebService Type: XML Connection string: http://localhost/myWeb/myWebService.asmx Credentials: No credentials
DataSet Query tab: Name: WebService Data source: WebService Command type: Text Query String: <Query><SoapAction>......</SoapAction></Query>
Here is a sample of the <Query> string that I use when I first build the report:
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">GetDatasetResponse{}/GetDatasetResult{}/diffgram{}/NewDataSet{}/Results</ElementPath> </Query> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When the user selects a report in the web application, they are prompted for information about the sql statement, and then I can rebuild the <Query> xml fragment, substituting the new sql statemet for the default one. for example, the statement "Select * From Reports" would be replaced with "Select * From Customers where LN = 'Smith'".
Then I want to attach that new <Query> statement to the report and run it. How can I set this information in the report? I can't find anything that talks about it, but there must be some way!
The third parameter (True) means to overwrite the file if it exists.
I'm having a problem when I update an existing RDL file. When adding the RDL for the first time, the Reporting Server appears to hang on to the default values for the parameters. Overwriting an existing RDL file doesnt update these "cached" parameters.
So my first thought is to delete the report on the server before uploading the RDL file. But the web service only has a "DeleteItem" method which causes all schedules, tasks, etc associated with the report to be removed, which is definitely something I DONT want ;-)
Here's what I need to do. I need to programmatically create offline cubes for multiple customers. Using VS2005 (C#) and SQL Server 2000, I am able to do this using the CREATE GLOBAL CUBE command. However, I need to create cubes from SQL Server 2005 as we have upgraded and the CREATE GLOBAL CUBE command does not work as it did before. I've search and found examples using AMO, but they create a server cube. I already have a server cube. I need to be able to create filtered offline cubes from the existing server cube. I've also read much on XMLA, but that doesn't do it for me either. The code below creates an empty offline cube. However, is there a way to use this to create a cube with data? I am creating this in a windows application.
I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?
Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
does anyone know of a good example of how to programmatically add a Data Conversion Transformation to a package? I have come so far that I have the component in my dataflow task, but I don't know how to set the properties of it. That is, how to determine the columns that should be converted and to what data type etc.
I (as far as I understand) need a data conversion transformation since I have not managed to create (via the designer) a package that reads data from an AS400 via DB2OLEDB and stores it in a SQL Server 2005 Database. I keep getting the error "string cannot be converted from unicode to non-unicode" (or something like that) and by searching this forum I learned that the data conversion component might do the trick.
I added this conversion to a manually designed package and it solved the error, but I don't know how to re-create this package programmatically. I would really appreciate some help on this.
Also, if someone has managed to import data from AS400 to SQL server 2005 via OLEDB and NOT got the string conversion error, please let me know!
I need to programmatically create a SQL 2005 maintenance plan at hundreds of customer sites. Each plan will be a little different because of path names, database names, etc., so I can't use one canned plan without modifications. I know that SQL 2005 maintenance plans are XML packages and SQL jobs, so scripting isn't an option. I've seen mention of using the .Net API to create the plans, but I can't find any examples. SMO doesn't seem to have any objects for managing maintenance plans. Can someone point me to an example of using the API to perform this task?
Although I can create the local cube, the cube that is created is very large because it brings over all accounts for the employee. In AS2K, it filtered automatically and only returned accounts that had revenue, which is what I'm trying to do using AS2005. I've read some of the responses about using XMLA and AMO, but I am not sure how to use these within the VS2005 windows application that I use to create and distribute the local cubes. Does anyone have a good example of how to use XMLA, AMO or anything else that would allow me to programmatically create and filter offline cubes using C#?
For instance, this code DOES create an empty cube. But how would I go about getting data into this cube? Server server = new Server(); server.Connect(@"Data Source=c:MyLocalCube.cub"); server.Disconnect();
I need to be able to create & connect to temporary databases programmatically, and NOT using the command-line, within a C# program. How would one go about doing this?
HI everyone; i have a problem , is there a possible to pass a dataset to a ssrs report programmatically ? or at runtime without specifying it at design time ...
I want to add some customized text to the report programmatically before the report is rendered. As it has to be done for all the reports, I don't want to do it report by report. For example, the report needs to display user selected filters. Any thoughts?
I am struggling to programmatically render my report to a pdf without displaying it in a viewer and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction.
My code seems to work and the report is found and everything is honkey-dorey until I try to actually load the report.. lemme show: (please excuse the bit of a mess since this is just a test form)
// Authenticate to the Web service using Windows credentials rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; rsExec.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
FindReport(); //Create a variable containing the selected item selItem = MyCatalogItem.Item; try { // Get if any parameters needed. _parameters = rs.GetReportParameters(selItem.Path , _historyID, _forRendering, _values, _credentials );
// Load the selected report. rsExecService.ExecutionInfo ei = rsExec.LoadReport(selItem.Path, historyID);
// Prepare report parameter. // Set the parameters for the report needed. rsExecService.ParameterValue[] parameters = new rsExecService.ParameterValue[5];
// Place to include the parameter.. if (_parameters.Length > 0) { parameters[0] = new rsExecService.ParameterValue(); parameters[0].Value = pQuoteID.ToString(); parameters[0].Label = "Quote ID"; parameters[0].Name = "cor_Quote_id";
} rsExec.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us"); results = rsExec.Render(format, deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamIDs);
// Create a file stream and write the report to it using (FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(fileName)) { stream.Write(results, 0, results.Length); } } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } }
Right, It bombs out at the section I marked in blue and gives me this HUGE message :
"System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/01/12/reporting/reportingservices/LoadReport. at System.Web.Services.Protocols.Soap11ServerProtocolHelper.RouteRequest() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.RouteRequest(SoapServerMessage message) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.Initialize() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocolFactory.Create(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, Boolean& abortProcessing)"
Could this be related to credentials or something? Any advice welcome. Thanks Mates
I'm creating ssrs reports via the web service render method & would like to be able to determine when a report has no data.
Currently what I'm doing is rendering the report twice - once as a pdf (the format that the report needs to be in) and once as a csv. I then check the csv for a specific string placed in the norows property of the report table.
Is there a better way of doing this? It seems to me that this would have been a good candidate to include in the warnings array.
Between this issue & the hacks required to get data into the header I'm thinking that I should maybe reconsider some other reporting options...
I am facing some issues while creating report snapshots programmatically using axis (Java platform for creating and deploying web services applications).
To create a report snapshot what should be the methods called ? I tried using UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot() but didn't find any parameters to set the schedule information which would say when the execute the report snapshot. Can you please guide me for this ?
Also I had one more doubt regarding report snapshots. If a parameterized report is configured as snapshot then we would require to set default parameters for the report.
Is there a way to create snapshots of the same report with different parameters ?
eg : The employee information report displays the information based on the employee id taken as a parameter. So is it possible to create snapshots with different employee id's ?
I've been working on an application that uploads an RDL to Reporting Services (through the SOAP webservice method CreateReport) programmatically. I'm having difficulty setting up the data source properties for my uploaded report. In particular the Data Source Credentials property.
The datasource for my report doesn't require credentials. By default after I upload the report to Reporting Services, the Data Source Credentials property is set to "Credentials supplied by the user running the report". How do I go about setting the Data Source Credentials property to "Credentials are not required" programmatically through the webservice?
my problem is , i want to deploy my rdl and rds file which i make in the sql 2005 reporting services. Now i want to deploy this rdl through asp.net coding using language VB i hope someone is help me Thanks Rahul Sinha
I have created many shared datsources and reprots at http://localhost/resportserver.
I am trying to access these reports from ReportViewer in the web application. Actually I want to use these reports for different customers by just changing the datsource programitically.
