Hi,
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services for creating Reports. But report execution is taking bit time to give results.
Is there any way around to increase the rendering timing ?
Thx
Ever since I have installed IE7 I keep getting prompted to log in several times. It seems to work fine with IE6. Any help would be great
Thanks

Ladies and Gents,
I have a question with regards to the default rendering extensions for reports. I am using RS 2005 with SP1.
I am accessing a report as follows:
http://<ReportServerName>/Reportserver?/<Folder>/<Report Name>
Sample: http://TestServer/Reportserver?/Special Reports/Dealer Report
This displays the parameter bar and the view report button. When pressing the view report button, the report is automatically rendered into HTML 4.0. Is there a way to use the existing parameter bar and automatically render the report to a different extension (such as PDF) when the parameters are entered and the View Report Button is pressed.
Thank You for any advice you can give,

Hello,
We're using Reporting Services for lots of different reports at the moment.
Some of these reports are quite big with thousands of pages.
To speed them up I'd prefer using snapshots, but if I do so, it is necessary to defined a default-set of report parameters.
Unfortunately most of the reports parameters are query based, therefore I cannot choose a default parameter set for startup.
If I start one of my reports it always displays the whole bunch of data and it is rendered immediately after clicking the link.
I have two ideas how this problem can be solved, but I don't know if MSSQL Reporting Services supports my ideas
1) Suppress automatic rendering on report startup somehow. Is it possible to set a parameter somewhere to suppress this "feature" ?
2) Use query based parameters to limit the default startup parameters to only a subset of the available data
Does anyone have an idea how this could be done ?
Best regards
Robert
Hello!
I've been playing around with local reports for a while now. Trying to convert alot (about 800) reports made in a custom format(not XML) to the .RDLC used in MS Reports. I've been able to solve most converting problems by first figuring out how to make the different appearances of the report editor and testing, and afterwards implementing these in my converter program and testing until it makes the desired appearance on screen. Unfortunately I haven't been able to design all the reports similar to the originals(with the editor), so I was hoping somone here might be able to help me with this.
I'm trying to make a box around my table(the repeating part in the body) but find it kind of hard to do this. There are alot of data and the box should be on every page(I really hope this is possible).
I have made a simple report with a header and footer. In the header I have some textboxes and a horizontal line at the bottom. In the footer I have a horizontal line at the top, and som text at the bottom. This was intended for making the top and bottom lines in my 'box'. The rest of the box is made from two vertical lines, one on each side of the table in the body area of the report. These go down from the top of the body to the bottom.
The height of the header is 1 cm, the height of the body is 24.7 cm and the height of the footer is 4 cm making a total of 29.7cm (standard A4 paper height). Hope someone can help me solving this.

I apologize in advance if this is something already addressed elsewhere (if so - please point me in that direction).
I have created a really simple report that allows 'drill-down' at the group level. To this report I also selected the 'Repeat header rows on each page' and 'Header should remain visible while scrolling' features and all worked as expected after deploying.
I then added a Document Map referencing the group level and that too worked within the VS environment. VS displayed a page that contained the requested group in plain view and I could 'drill down' as expected.
But when I deployed the report and subsequently pulled it up in IE I noticed a slightly different behavior in that when selecting an entry from the document map, the start of that group got hidden behind the fixed header such that what was visible was perhaps 1 or 2 group records down. I had to scroll up to see the start of the group I had selected from the document map and then drill down from there.
Removing both the "Repeat header..." and "Header should remain ...." allows me to select a group from the document map (which is always at the top) - but in doing so I lose the fixed header feature.
Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

First of all, this is not in reference to using SRS (SQL Reporting Services) to render a report and then use one of the extensions to render the complete report as a pdf, tiff, excel etc. We have an opportunity to render a list of claims and then embed the supporting docs for each of the claims within the report. We don't have an issue referencing jpg and gif images via URLs and then rendering them within the report after the grid information. We do have an issue rendering tiff images within the report.
You can insert an image object into SRS at design time and have it render and you can convert a complete report to a tiff image but I cannot find a way to be able to render a tiff image when running the report. All you get is the red "x".
My question is has anyone encountered the same issue and, if so, what did you do to resolve the issue?
Thank you,

Hi
I have a query which executes in 1 second and returning 14 rows whenever I execute it through Management Studio but when I execute it from a web page I am getting a timeout message and the stack trace is pointing towards the line which calls the stored procedure. The query is quite complex and there quite a few joins on tables and views including one to a lookup table, whenever I take out join onto the look up table the web page runs ok without timing out. I join the Lookup table (Parts) using a Left Outer Join similar to below. The syntax of the Join is fine but I cant find why it would cause the query to time out when executed from a webpage but is fine when I execute it from Management Studio
select *
from tables/view LEFT OUTER JOIN
Parts on Parts.PartNumber=tables/View.PartNumber
I've tried recompiling the Parts table but it didnt make any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

I use SQL Server to provide data to asp web pages and have recently started to get ODBC time outs throughout the day.
The environment is as follows:
Server with dual PII processors & 512MB RAM running:
- SQL Server 7
- IIS
I have a number of asp based web sites hosted on this box, but only 1 of them seems to be affected by the time out problem. I have checked the resources on the server (NT Task Mgr - Memoey & Processor) and everything seems fine - in fact the resources are hardly being touched!!!
Within a few minutes the problem disappears completely without me doing anything.
Am I missing something here?
Should I look elsewhere other than SQL - maybe IIS ???
Any suggestions / pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thx
We are using asp's and tables sucessfully but when we click a link to an exe on a page it is slow, to the point of timing out. Very slow. Any help would be appreciated. Email me tperry@kpmg.com

What could be the reason for my view to timeout? I thought it was because of the number or records, but i guessed wrong. The view is grabbing data from a UDF i have created.

Can anyone tell me as to how I can Timeout a transaction. For example I have transactiopn that pulls in data from a remote source. So if the time of extraction exceeds sometime say 1hr..I need to rollback the transaction.
Cannot use Set Lock_Time out because it can be used only for timing out a waiting process. Here I want to timeout the executing process

How can I easily time a query entered in Studio Express for SQL Server 2005? Thanks in advance.
View 11 Replies View RelatedHi. I'm new to SQL Server programming. I'm using it at my new job for the first time and catching on quickly. I've run into a problem where I run a request via interactive query and it times out. It's really annoying because it seems to happy a lot. Is this just a memory issue with my machine (it has 2.8 GB of RAM) or there a way around it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using SQL 2k.
I wrote a query using the query analizer and tested it before turning it into a Stored Procedure. It worked fine an the execution time was acceptable (25 secs, since there was a lot of data to analize)
When I executed the recently created stored procedure, the execution time happened to be three or four times higher. (1 min, 38 secs)
It was the exact same code, i was logged in the same database server, the parameters were the same in btoh cases. So, my question is as follows:
Why is it that executing a script and executing a stored procedure with the exact same script differ so much in timing?
I am creating an index on a table wit 35 million records but I get the error

How can I get the index created?

I am trying to run a program that works on another site but with a copy of the database(SQL6.5) and the vb front end I keep getting a timeout error.
The vb bit is trying to run an update statement on a table with just over 2000 rows. I cannot amend the vb side because this is an .exe
Is there something I might not have done on the server that could be causing this not to work, i.e configuration issues, bigger logs
Please help!!
I have a site that is experiencing the issue described in this doc. I'm unsure if the fix is going to blow anything up as I am unfamiliar with anything they are recommending.

Hopefully, this is an easy. Does SQL Server use the Windows system dateand time? Or does it keep track of what day/time it is on its own?We were just discussing this in the office today, because we'replanning for the changes in Daylight Savings Time in the United Statesthis year. It's going to start a month earlier and end a month laterthan it used to. Microsoft is apparently putting out patches forWindows so the OS will know to adjust the time by an hour on the rightdays, and we're trying to determine if our SQL and Oracle databases aregoing to be affected at all.--Richard
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wrote a simple VB.NET utility program that uses a While...End While loop to go through all of the records in a table. Each time throgh that loop, an UPDATE command is assembled and assigned to the .CommandText property of an SqlCommand object. The command updates a record in another table by an ID field--based on the contents of the first table as well as the result of a lookup in another table. The update command is then executed each time within the loop via the .ExecuteNonQuery() method of the SqlCommand object. Again, it's important to point out that the update command updates only *one* record each time it is executed.
This program had been working fine until yesterday--when the query began timing out on the .ExecuteNonQuery() command. I have a counter within the loop and have been able to determine that the timeout occurs on the 3,359th time the query is called. The specific message is:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Re-running the program causes the same result at the same record.
I copied the query (whose ID updates the same 3,359th record) and executed it in SQL Server Management Studio; it timed out there, too. When I set the "Execution time-out" value to 0 (i.e., unlimited), the query ran for over an hour before I manually canceled it.
I can update all other tables in this database. I can also view (i.e., SELECT) the record that the update query is timing out on. I can also update any of the first 3,358 records in the SQLMS. However, the query continues to time out on the 3,359th record--and on any other record after that point.
The program was written on, and is running on, the SQL Server computer. The server has plenty of drive space. Both the database file and the log file for this database seem properly set to autogrow. I cycled the MSSQLSERVER service, but the query still times out at the same point. Rebooting the server did not resolve the problem, either. I don't see any errors in the Windows event logs.
What other methods can I use to try to resolve this problem?
At one seemingly inoccuous step in my CLR stored procedure, execution stops and the query times-out.
I've tried debugging the stored proc by stepping into it from within VS. When I do, I get to the code in question, but then simply get this message:
WARNING: Debugger was accessing T-SQL variables while managed code was not suspended.
Waiting until the access is done to continue T-SQL execution.
Continueing T-SQL execution.
And these messages appear to repeat indefinitely. I'm running SQL Server locally on my machine, but this also happens on out development SQL Server server.
The place in the code it appears to happen is when returning back results from a lower-level CLR stored proc called within the higher-level CLR stored proc -- when piping the result set, I suppose.
I've set MAXDOP to 1. No help.
Anyone know what's going on?
I have a question regarding a proble with two dimensions I built.
The first is named Account and contains approx 40k records. The second dimension is named Contact and contains the emps from the Account dim and contains approx 58k records. In the cube I also have two measures, One is a count of courses a Contact has taken. The second measure is a count of certifications a Contact may have earned.
The Account dim table has an AccountKey primary key and the Contact dim table has a ContactKey primary key and an AccountKey foreign key to the Account table. The key fields are not operational keys. They are surrogates. Both Contact and Account dim tables have as the first 10 or so records values that are used as parent groupings in the Cube dimension. For instance.
key = 1, name value = 'A-C'
Each proceeding value has the parent grouping's key value set as its parentkey.
The fact table contains both the AccountKeys and ContactKeys and an ItemId that corresponds to a specific course or certification. This itemid is used for the measures in the Cube
That's the background... here's my problem.
Using BIDS or Mgmt Studio, whenever I add the root dimAccount level (actual account names) as a row and then add the root Contact level (Contact names) as another row and drill down to a specifc Accounts contacts, everything locks up. I have only one measure in the data pane. The fact table only has about 20k records in it. I would think this should return data instantly. If I browse the cube with any other comination of dimensions besides the Contact and Account dimensions, the cube runs fine. It is just the combination of Account and Contact. I am getting really frustrated as I cannot figure this out.
I am rusty at SSAS so forgive me if I left out any pertinent info.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi
This is to do with HTTPS merge replication. We were getting an error when downloading the initial snapshot. The snapshot was about 25 meg, over an average link. It returned an error after a few minutes - it did start to download the .cab file (it was compressed).
By not compressing the cabinet file, it worked fine - I can only presume it was some sort of timeout error. The downside was that the amount of data was much greater, with it not being compressed.
Questions therefore are:
a) is this time of timeout a known condition and if so what can I do about it
b) slightly unrelated- can an alternate location be given for the snapshot, like you can in non-HTTPS anonymous subscriptions.
Main properties in creating the subscription is as follows:
subscription.InternetUrl = webSyncUrl
subscription.InternetSecurityMode = AuthenticationMethod.BasicAuthentication
subscription.SubscriberType = MergeSubscriberType.Anonymous
subscription.SyncType = SubscriptionSyncType.None
and when synchronising....
subscription = New MergePullSubscription()
agent = subscription.SynchronizationAgent
agent.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Standard
agent.DistributorSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Standard
agent.UseWebSynchronization = True
agent.InternetSecurityMode = SecurityMode.Standard

Simple (4 lines) stored procedure was working, now is timing out.
Profiler shows hundreds of lines and a lot of time doing:
EventClass: SQLTransaction
ObjectName: Cache Coherency
What are these lines profiler is capturing?
Why is the server doing this, and how can I stop it?
Thanks!
Hey all,
We have a problem with one of our MS SQL 2000 databases and some stored procedures.
I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but these are the symptons....
The stored procedure runs without problems for a period of time. Abruptly, without warning it begins to time out when called from our web application.
Calling it through the query analyzer it runs within a second.
Forcing the stored procedure to recompile allows the web application to start calling it again without it timing out.
We have a DTS package that runs over night and imports a number of records (not sure on the exact numbers, but definately enough to make a difference to indexes) so this could be part of the problem although when I force a recompile I do not do any update stats or anything else.
I wrote a test script to call the stored procedure when it was timing out to ensure it wasn't a web application problem and the procedure continued to time out until the forced recompile. So I don't think the problem is there.
The stored procedure returns multiple results sets and when it starts timing out it is while it is returning the second results sets.
The code for the second results set is...
Select avg(round(p.PricingValue, 5)) as Average, stdev(round(p.PricingValue, 5)) as StdDev, min(p.CaptureDate) as FromDate, max(p.CaptureDate) as ToDate
From Pricing p
Inner Join Security s
On p.SecurityID = s.SecurityID
Left Outer Join Issuer i
On s.IssuerID = i.IssuerID
WHERE p.PricingTypeID = @PricingType
And p.TenorTypeID = @TenorType
And p.CaptureDate Between @DateFrom And @DateTo
AND p.SecurityID IN ( SELECT SecurityId FROM UserResult ur WHERE ur.UserResultSelected = 1 AND ur.UserID = @userID )
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
Regards

I have an SSIS package that takes data from a table in Access and puts it into a fact table in SS2005. Very little data manipulation is done. It processes approximately 1.5 million rows when it runs weekly. The process is run in an SSIS package that is called by a parent package, and all of that (including the use of the config files and accessing the parent variables) is working fine.
The issue is there is one field in the Access table that must be put into a different SS2005 fact table.
When I run the data flow task that loads the first fact table, it completes in less than two minutes. However, if I either (a) put a multicast step in the dataflow task to redirect a copy of the key data and remaining field to the second fact table, or (b) copy that step in the package to have it perform the same tasks with the different target (and using just the key and the remaining field), the execution time suddenly jumps to 30 minutes. In the case of (b), it remains true whether the copied step remains in the package or is executed in its own package, and also remains true if the package is loading against a table that starts out empty or with data already in it.
Has anyone ever bumped into a situation like this?
We are trying to troubleshoot some website performance issues and found some queries taking 2 to 3 seconds when the request comes from the web, and captured by the Profiler.
The same queries, when run in the Query Analyzer take 0 seconds.
What could be the reasons for this difference, I mean why it takes 2 - 3 seconds shown by the Profiler, when it's 0 second in Analyzer?
