Images Not Displaying From Snapshot Or Cached Report
Apr 11, 2008
Hello,
This is my first post, and I'm hoping you all can help.
Using Reporting Services 2005, I have several reports that use embedded images.
All images render fine when the report execution is set to:
1) Always run this report with the most recent data
1a) Do not cache temporary copies of this report
However, when I change the execution to either a Cache or a Snapshot, the images and some charts render as red "X" placeholders. This is sometimes remedied when the user clicks the page refresh button, but not always.
Of course, I could just have all the concurrent users use the uncached report that hits the OLAP server, but that would be highly inefficient, and just plain slow.
I have a report and I display specific images based on the parameter selected. i.e. If parameter value = "1" then I display "image1.jpg". The images were added as a part of the project so I was able to display the images by setting the value property on the images to the image file name. So if I want to display image1.jpg then I would set the value property of the image to "image1.jpg". Now I have decided to create a folder called "images" in which I want to keep all the images. So I have removed the images from the project. In the value property of the image when I put "/images/image1.jpg" it doesnt work. I have also tried "images/image1.jpg" When I run the report in the Preview mode, the image is not shown. How do i fix this? The directory struncture is so:
I'm trying to understand the cases where it's more interesting to use snapshot and when it's more interesting to use cached instances.
If I have 100 users trying to reach a report, is it better to use snaphsot or cache instance ? In both case, the 100 users will have the same report result. And what about the performance, are they similar ?
Hi, I am a new VWD user and have been trying to set up a website that allows 1 user to upload images into to SQL Express database and then display them with a variety of other fields. I have searched the forums, several books and many ASP "training" websites to find out how to do this. Every website seems to teach how to display a list of employees or show photo gallery, but none explains how to upload an image, save it in the appropriate field(s) in the database, and then display it when requested in a Datagrid or Details View using VWD and SQL Express 2005 Can any one give me directions to a solution, or send me a simple solution to this? The best example of what I need is is a real estate listing, wherethe property for sale has 8 to 10 descriptive fields and 1 to 3 images that are displayed. Any help would be appreciated. Spacecaetrg.

I have seen many postings regarding asp. sql and images. One postingon another group stated that images (jpg, etc) can be called by a dbinstead of being stored on the db.I am asking for some help with coding such a thing. What I want to dois include in the db the location (url) for the image so I can add ita pserson's record set and then be able to have it called from the dbto post on a web page.This is for an awards system.Thanks for any help.Dave
I am still getting the little red x on my report where the image should appear. I have installed SP 1 and I'm using: =System.Convert.FromBase64String(Mid(System.Convert.ToBase64String(Fields!test_sceen_cap1.Value),105)) to handle the header created by MS Access (the data has since been moved to SQL Server 2005). I am using SSRS 2005 and simply trying to get the image to appear within the body of the report.
Is there anything else I can try to get this working? Thanks
Hi I have a query that returns a companyname eg. "ACD". This info is then saved in a parameter. On the logo (which depends on company), I use this parameter value to the pick up the right picture like this:
=Parameter!.company.Value &"_logo.jpg"
The image is there on the server an the path is correct, but the image is not displayed! What is wrong?
I have trouble displaying images that are accessed through URLs in my report. If I call the URL directly in the Browser the Image can be opened without problems. The images can be accessed with an anonymous access.
When I deploy the report or in the Preview of Visual Studio I get the following message:
[rsWarningFetchingExternalImages] Images with external URL references will not display if the report is published to a report server without an UnattendedExecutionAccount or the target image(s) are not enabled for anonymous access.
In Layout View of Visual Studio the image is showen correctly.
The Images are stored on a Solaris maschine with WebSphere 6.0 as WebServer.
I have a reporting viewer in a windows form that behaves very strange. When I open the form and run the report it shows up nicely in the report viewer. If I print the report it only prints one page. When i print the report a second time the whole report is printed. Next I'll change the report parameters and run the report, then it shows up nicely in the viewer, but when I print the report the first report is printed.
I'm developing an ASP.NET application that creates on-demand reports with Reporting Services 2005 in report server. I use a custom data set that contains the data that I want to bind to the report, and I use a WebService to pass that DataSet to the reporting services to accomplish my purpose.
This works well and all the fields are displayed in the report fine except the Image Fields, that are not showing (the red X appears instead of the image).
The issue is that all the data that is bind to the dataset is contained in a SQL Server 2005 database, and the Image column in the table of that database is a VARBINARY(MAX) field (I insert the image into the database table).
Also, when I created the dataset in .NET, the column type of the dataset I declared for the Image field was Byte[], but that didn't work for me. I've also tried to declare as the field type Byte,SqlByte,Image,SqlBinary, etc without succesfull results.
I've also tried creating a XML Schema, declaring the Image field as base64Binary, then do DataSet.ReadXMLSchema(myschema) and then retrievied the data from sql server and filled the dataset, Again, the Images doesn`t display.
For finnishing my unsatisfactory tests, I've also tried to handle the image data with a MemoryStream object:
MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream(); MemoryStream oStream = new MemoryStream();
mem.Write((Byte[])dr["Image"],0 , ((Byte[])dr["Image"]).Length); //dr is the datareader used to read from the DB
Image image = Image.FromStream(mem);
try
{
image.Save(oStream, ImageFormat.Png);
}
catch{}
newRow["Image"] = oStream.GetBuffer(); //newRow is a row of the custom DataSet.Table passed to the SSRS.
I have installed SQL Server Reporting Service on window xp. everything working fine except one thing.
I have installed sql server with my a/c. my a/c have admin rights. when i giving http://dineshpatel/reports it is displaying page but Report Builder and other option are not displaying. I hope i don't have admin rights.
I have checked with local administrator login also but same problem.
what additional setting are require for admin rights?
Does anyone know a way to display the header of a sub report when the sub report is part of a main report? Im able to get the main report and the sub report to display properly, but the header of the previously developed/tested sub report will not display when embedded in a main report.
I have a report which have multiple parameters. By default all the parameters are selected. Now I am scheduling a Cache with Report Execution Snapshot. Now if I try to view the report, it disables the prompt selection. It means user cant change the selection. Is it the expeceted behaviour of the exectuion snapshot? Thanks, S Suresh
I have a report that i've generated which contains images of products etc though the images are bigger then the specfied size of the box that they fit into.
Though this isn't the problem as they fit nicely however i'm looking for some functionalitly in the best way for the image to be called as in the user clicks the image and up pops a window with the image contained and the user can then close that window and click on another products image to bring that up.
Is this possible in SSRS or what other methods could i do to show a similiar thing?
Hi all, I have a client report in which I have two images in the header portion. I have assigned two different images for the two image report controls.
The Problem is that the report is showing two images in only one system. (I ran the code which is available in SOURCE CONTROL, so the code is not the problem)
In all other systems the first image is getting repeated. The configuration is same and there is no change in HARDWARE.
Have anybody faced the same problem.....................
I have an image stored in a dataset that I would like to place in the page header and footer. Unfortunately dataset fields can not be placed in headers/footers.
Embedded pics in the project and/or report are NOT an option as the report must pull the image from the database. UNLESS there is a way to embed it FROM the dataset.
Normally I use =ReportItems!FieldName, but this doesn't seem to work when dealing with images.
I put the image in the header row the table holding the report information, but there are some pitfalls. Consider the following: put the Image in the top left cell of the header rows (A1) , put my Report Title in Cell (A2) and finally put =Now() in cell (B2).
When the report renders Cell (A1) has grown to accomodate the size of the image, Cell (A2) is fine, but cell (A3 - the date-) is pushed down...as expected (boooo!)
I used the following function =Fields!ReportTitle.Value & chr(10) & chr(13) & Fields!ReportDate.Value in (A2) a slick solution, but the padding is different and I need different font sizes and weights. (...almost)
I moved the image in (a1) and the rest of the fields following respecfully (B1, C1, D1...) but with parameters the header is now practically half the page (...ok so that was a bit of an stretch)
I tried the RepeatsWith property and couldn't get it to work???? Am I using it correctly? I have a table in the body of a report (table1). Above it, I place the image. In the image properties, I choose RepeatWith and select table1, I expect to see the image repeat on each page, but that is not the case. I'm probably missing a simple explanation.
I even tried to pass the image as a parameter. URRRNT! At least with my experience.
Have I exhausted all possibilities without extensive code?
All I'm trying to do is line up the Image with the report Title/date/parameter values in the HEADER making the report look pretty.
We've been struggling for 2 days to try and figure this out. We create a report with images, both in gif and jpg, and then setup a subscription. When the report is generated in both 5.0 and all browser format, no images appear, just the red cross. Funny thing is that in Firefow the same htm document renders OK. We tried setting the configuration table row UseSessionCookies to False as posted by others but this did not work. It seems so simple it's silly. What are we doing wrong? The image is set to embedded. Also the charts are not showing either.
Any help is MOST appreciated!!
BTW, in pdf and mhtml the images are fine
We do not have and _ in the the server name and we have SP2 also installed on a W2K3 server
I've created some Matrix reports which work just fine, I'm able to drill down and the expansion images(+/-) appear correctly.
However, after setting Role security on the folder containing the reports(this is an asp.net application), the reports still function but the images for the (+/-) are missing, just getting the missing image icon.
I have a report in SQL Reporting Services that isn't displaying correctly. The report comprises a header and a simble table, typically consisting of 20 to 30 columns and 1-20 rows.
When I run the report IE, the table is truncated and only the first five columns are displayed. I can get the table to display correctly by doing one of the following:
Changing the report zoom - once the zoom has been changed, the report displays correctly even back at the default 100%
Moving to the next report page, then back to the first page
Refreshing the report by right-clicking and selecting 'Refresh' (not using the refresh button in the tool bar) What seems strange is that if I copy the truncated table from IE to Excel, the full table is copied so it appears that what I'm seeing is some kind of display issue. I've trawled Google and the forums but to no avail - can anyone help?
Hello Guys, I am trying to display image on a report. The image field is stored as a binary data in the database. I am using webservice to access the database and return datasets through which data on the report can be accessed. I saw that the xml returns binarystring value from the database. but when i try to display the image it does not show me anything except blank page. I checked the value of the binary data and it does not proceed with ox and tried appending 0x value but no luck. Guys please help me.
I have a report with a parameter that I would like to have created every night but also allow a user to change the default parameter and rerun it if they need to . When the Snapshot is opened, the parameter box is disabled. How can I work around this?
I have a report that has a snapshot enabled. I made some changes to my report and redeployed it, but when I view the report from the Report Manager web site the old version is getting used. Apparently the snapshot includes the rdl and the data and not just the data. Can anyone else confirm this? If this is the case, a new snapshot must be created after the report format is modified.
In the report I'm working on, I want to display a list of the parameters selected by the user, as in:
Selected Cars: Toyota Camry Ford Taurus Chevy Corvette Saturn Ion
Note that these are selected items from a multi-value parameter. How can I go about doing this with Reporting Services 2005? In ASP.NET, I'd just use the parameter array as the datasource for a repeater/datagrid/gridview. Could I do something similar with SSRS? I'd really like to use the format specified above, whether or not it is in a table; I really don't want to do the following:
Selected Cars: Toyota Camry, Ford Taurus, Chevy Corvette, Saturn Ion.
I have managed to get reporting services running on Vista, but when I open report manager, I don't see the "Contents" or "Properties" tabs. I get the "SQL Server Reporting Services - Home" header and the links on the top right, but no tabs along the yellow or blue lines. I also have created and deployed a report but it does not show up in Report Manager.
Is there a way to create an expression that references the DataSets / Queries? I'd like to be able to create an expandable text box that shows the raw sql query used to generate the report.
I am creating a report using report builder and I am using several fields from various entities. Is there a way to sort the data in the report using a field that is not being displayed in the report? The "sort and group" option lists only fields that are selected for output in the report... but is there a way to do sorting using a field that is not displayed in the report?
