Is There A Demo Of SQL Reporting Services And Analysis ??
Nov 9, 2007
We're looking at several tools to do reporting and analysis of our SQL 2005 data.
We want to create canned web based reports
We want internal - non-developers to create canned reports for our customers
We want internal - non-developers to create ad hoc reports
We want to slice and dice the data in various way and produce graphs and trend reports - pretty stuff for management
Tools like Business Objects Edge satisfy many of these requirements but we already have SQL 2005 which I understand can do similar things. I can easily get a demo of a companys products to show me what can and can't be done.
Does anyone know how I can get a SQL demo using these services ? I tried contacting Microsoft but didn't get anywhere
I don't have the luxury of time to learn all the benefits and functionality to understand if SQL is the best way to go. Database wise - yes - but Analysis and Reporting ??
Thanks

I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible -
I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error:
"The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension..
Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)"
Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows. Another forum post mentioned using the SQL 9.0 driver, but I can't see this listed anywhere (the only one I see is the .NET framework Data Provider for Microsoft Analysis Services).
Here's what my query looks like -
SELECT
{ [Time].[Month].&[2006-09-01T00:00:00] ,
[Time].[Month].&[2006-10-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-11-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-12-01T00:00:00]
} on COLUMNS,
{
[Measures].[Unique Users],
[Measures].[UU Pct 1],
[Measures].[UU Pct 2],
} ON ROWS
FROM [Cube]
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Arjun

Hi All,
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?
Regards,
Joseph

Hello,
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
thank you

Hi all,
Till now all the reports for our application was created in Reporting Services 2005 with SQL Server Database(OLTP) stored procedures.
Most of the reports take 10 to 15 report Parameters and all are multi valued.
Now because of the slow response time,we have decided to use OLAP cubes data source. We have created the OLAP cube in Microsoft Analysis Services.
Can someone tell me how to use the report parameters to query the Cube.
Any links,books for reference would be of great help..
Thanks,
Looking forward to your replies

Setup: Reporting Services and Analysis Services are on the same server. Active Directory User. Default configuration of Reporting Services.
Problem: Reporting Server does not apply Analysis Services Role after login.
Details:
I have created a report that retreives data from the Analysis Service. I created a role and added my user company/myUserName to the role.
On the Reporting Server I set the data source to :
* Credentials supplied by the user running the report
and
Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source
Internally when I connect devsql2005/Reports/ReportName I get the user and password fields. When I fill them in I get the report but I can see all the data while my role was restricted to see only few results.
Can anyone suggest what may be wrong? Any articles or tutorials on how to setup and deploy solutions where Report Server is talking to Analysis Services and NOT Sql Server.
Thank You,
Pavel Hlobil

Hello
Are both reporting and analysis services of SQL Server are same or different. I mean if I install reporting services so analysis services is a part of it or do I need to install it separately?
I am asking because when I tried to install Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2005 it said that I do not have SQL Server 9 Analysis Services installed which is a prerequisite but I do remember that I have installed SQL Server reporting services on the system. So it means Analysis Services has to be installed separately from a different CD?

I have Reporting Services on one server and SQL and Analysis Services on another Server. I can develop a report using Analysis Services as the source from my local machine and it works fine. When I deploy it to the Reporting Services Server, it gives the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'.
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
Thank you in advnace for any help.

I have an important question and I've been roaming on MSDN and the internet to find a CLEAR answer. I'm really stuck here.
Is there a way to build a DYNAMIC Report with Visual Studio 2005 (SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio) and having a Cube (SQL Server 2005) as datasource?
I want a report that will act as the interface of the Cube browser in Analysis Services. I don't want to give access to the Cube Browser to users, but I want them to be able to drill-through the cube.
Thanks a lot.

G'day,
I've got a software development PC that was running SQL 2000 + Analysis Services + Reporting Service (sp4 from memory). I then installed SQL Express 2005 and later then SQL 2005 Standard (dev) + Analysis + Reporting and upgraded to Sp2 last month.
To help improve the performance of this poor little PC, I've gone to Control Panel and uninstalled SQL 2000 service. I've also used the SQL 2005 Surface area configuration tool to switch off the SQL Express instance from running. Practically, I probably should remove the $SQLExpress instance.
The problem I'm faced with is the SQL 2000 Analysis and SQL 2000 Reporting service is still registered as Windows Services and showing the the SQL Server Configuration Manager (2005), but there is no uninstall option in the control pannel. So I can't work out how to uninstall these software and services.
It is also apparent that there are a series of "files" in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80* directory like ..ToolsDevToolssamples*.* directory and others that shouldn't really be there if I've uninstalled SQL 2000 via the control panel.
Is there a SQL 2000 cleanup or removal tool that will help remove these old services and files?
Does anyone have some suggestions on how to cleanup my development PC without the full operating system installation?

Hi,
I have some questions about SQL Servers 2000 and 2005 compatibility.
In my configuration I have to use both servers.
The cubes are stocked in 2005 server.
May I transfer from 2005 to 2000 Analysis Services the cubes?
If yes, what is the procedure? The result of migration is the same in the two different versions?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions. When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)." I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.

I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,

Hello,
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?
Any help is appreciated

Hello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine
" No specific cube it fails on
" Have created a Dimension only package, same problem
" Changed the maxmemorylimit
" Changed the connections to localhost
" Memory DOES NOT max out on server
Server Specs:
Windows Server 2003 Standard + Service Pack 2
4GM ram, 2GB paging file
SQL Server 2005 + Service Pack 2
Can anyone help?

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.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

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
dispaly(ID, NAME_AR, JobTitle_AR)
Hint:this done pragmatically
how to do this in reporting services.

SQL Server User defined functions can be a powerful tool, but they can also create a substantial performance penalty in a query where they are called a large number of times. Sometimes it is something that must be accepted to get the job done, but there is often an alternative of putting the code from the function “in-line? in a SQL query. That also has a penalty in development time, so judgment about which way to go is called for.
I did some testing on three different methods of converting combinations of integer values of Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Second to Datetime values and compared the runtime of each. In the first method, I did the conversion in-line in the query. In the second method, I used a UDF to do the conversion using the same algorithm as the in-line query. In the third method, I used a UDF that called two more UDFs to do the conversion.
To perform the test, I loaded a table with 3,999,969 randomly generated date/times, along with the matching year, month, day, hour, minute, and seconds, in the range of 1753-01-01 to 9999-12-31. I re-indexed the table with fill factor of 100 to make the physical size as small as possible.
For the actual test, I ran queries that converted the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second on each row to a datatime, and compared it to the datetime from that row. I ran the query using the in-line conversion, single UDF (DateTime1), and with the UDF (DateTime2) that called two more UDFs (Date and Time). I ran the tests several times, and saw only minor variations in run time. The single UDF took over 8 times as long to run as the in-line conversion. The test with the UDF that called other UDFs took over 36 times as long to run as the in-line conversion, and took over 4 times as long to run as the single UDF.
These results show that there can be a substantial performance penalty for using a UDF in place of in-line code, and that UDFs that call other UDFs can also have a substantial performance penalty compared to a UDF that does not call other UDFs.
Code to load table with test data. The functions used in the script to load the test data can be found on these links:
Random Datetime Function:

-- returns a datetime value for the specified year, month and day
returns datetime
as
begin
return dateadd(month,((@Year-1900)*12)+@Month-1,@Day-1)
end
go
create function Time(@Hour int, @Minute int, @Second int)
-- Returns a datetime value for the specified time at the "base" date (1/1/1900)
returns datetime
as
begin
return dateadd(ss,(@Hour*3600)+(@Minute*60)+@Second,0)
end
go
create function DateTime2
(@Year int, @Month int, @Day int, @Hour int, @Minute int, @Second int)
-- returns a dateTime value for the date and time specified.
returns datetime
as
begin
return dbo.Date(@Year,@Month,@Day) + dbo.Time(@Hour, @Minute,@Second)
end
go
Test code:
set nocount on
go
select [T_DATE Rowcount] = count(*) from T_DATE
go
declare @count int
declare @st datetime
select @st = getdate()
select

For MS: Indeed I think ReportViewer Control should be an open source component as we as developer needs the flexibility to customize the report viewer interface as well as can learn directly from the control source so to understand how can we integrate better with SSRS.

Hi,
I have a cube with the following
DimStartDate
DimEndDate
DimArea
FactDataCount
I need to output the following report
Area 5days 10days 30days
Miami 4 2 1
Memphis 3 3 2
1)Where do I do the dateDiff calculation, at report or cube level?
2)How do I work out which dates belong to the above groups? I'm assuming i have to check if the dateDiff lies between those numbers?

Hi,
I have a requirement to mirror our production database (or part/derivative of it). It is imperative that the mirrored database maintains a live copy of the production data. The data is financial data, so analysis of it requires latest prices, exchange rates etc.
One product I have looked at, and am very impressed with so far is DataMirror (www.datamirror.com). I have no idea of its price yet, as I'm waiting for a rep to contact me. In the meantime, does anyone have experience in this field with alternative products? Is there a free product that I should be looking at?
I am using MS SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in advance
