I need to keep a section of a report the same size. I have now a table with a detail and group section. The table header must print on every page and the table footer must print on every page. The detail section can only be 16 rows. When I have more than 16 rows the report page breaks perfectly and puts the remaining rows on the next page along with repeating the header and footer. The problem is when there are fewer than 16 rows the table does not take up the full page and looks horrible. All my displayed data is in the data set. I have looked at padding the dataset with bogus rows that would show up at the end and just not display but would rather take care of this on the report end. Any ideas?
Thanks, Chad
Hi, I dont know if theres a way to print a section of some report, for example a summary report, where I have several charts and tables, and I want to print just the first 2 charts Could this be done by mapping the document or separating it in some other way?
I tried using 'SubReports' control, but this way I need to have for example the first two charts in a different report (lets say 2charts.rdl), and then in the summary.rdl, add the control and set the link to 2charts.rdl,.... but I think this is pretty annoying considering the future modifications of the format in the 2charts.rdl...
I'm trying to embed a report into a CRM IFrame. So I have the report created in Business Intelligence Visual Studio 2005, but I need to display it with none of the header details SRS displays by default.
Using the following URL I included rc:toolbar=false and rcarameters=false but they don't seem to make any difference. I basically need to display the report content as if it were part of that page and not an SRS hosted page.

I am trying to access HttpContext.Current in my report code section (report properties) since I have to look at a cookie. However, HttpContext.Current is always null. Has anyone managed to access HttpContex.Current from a report?
is it possible to separate Grand Total of a sub group to a new page?
I tried using advanced mode, find the first line the Grand Total section and set its "RepeatOnNewPage" to true, but, when I execute the report, it will throw an error something like the value of RepeatOnNewPage of the TablixMemeber must be the same as its previous object.
I need my report pages to separate by subGroup(SubGroupA, SubGroupB, A+BTotal).
How can I take this example Flat file and parse out each section to a new flat file? Each section starts with HD (header row)
http://www.webfound.net/flat_file_example.txt
e.g. an example output file based on above (cutting out the first section) would be:
http://www.webfound.net/flatfile_output.txt
Also, I'll need to grab a certain value in each header row (certain position in the 100 byte header row) to use that as part of the filename that's outputed. I assume it would be better to insert these rows into a temp table then somehow do a search on a specific position in the row...but that's impossible? The other route is to insert each row into a temp table separated out by fields but that is going to be too combursome because we have several formats to determine separation of fields based on the row type so I'd have to create many temp tables and many components in SSIS when all we want to do is again:
1) output each group (broken by each header row) into it's own txt file
2) use a field in the header row as part of the name of the output txt file (e.g. look at the first row, whcih is a header row in flat_file_example. txt. I want to grab the text 'AR10' and use that as part of the filename that I create
Any suggestions on how to approach this whole process in SSIS...the simplest approach that will work ?
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
I would like to generate a report that lists each database in both sql 2000 and 2005 instance alongwith their size. I can get the size sysfiles... perhaps i can join it with sysdatabases ?
I am trying to change the Page size of the layout dynamically. Does anyone know if this is possible? If so can you point me in the right direction to find resources for this.
Hey guys,Does anyone know a way (in Enterprise Manager or thru a SQL statement)to get the number of rows and the size of each table in a database?Thks,
I am on the layout page, and click on the body, going to the body property dialogue, there is a size property there, I changed its width and height, but it is not changed at all? I mean once I save it, it is back to its orginal size? Why is that? Any advices for that?
Hope my question is clear.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
And I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
Is it possible to setup different font size when a user is browsing or printing a report?
I have a lot of data to print on a report and i need tu use a font size of 7pt which is fine for printing but when the user is looking at the report on the browser a font size of 7pt is a bit too small and the bold doesn't work.
Is there a way to dynamically make report header and footer fields change location (or size)? I have many matrix reports that grow in width and then the header and footers do not look good.
Another example is I have a line that is in the header...I would like this to grow to the width of the report, which again is not static on a matrix report.
I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to add text up in the parameter section of a report. I wanted to add something like: "Please use this option when you want a full result set" or something of the sort.
Our Report Server DB almost doubled in size over the period of a week and is causing backup issues and using too much disk space.
We have over a hundred SQL 2005 DBs running in a portal on the same server as the Report Server all connecting to SSRS and many run their own Report Builder models and custom reports.
The table dbo.ServerParametersInstance is currently 3.6gb. I'm struggling to find any help in how to manage this in terms of reducing its size or what it is even used for.
I was working on the SSRS Report Designer and was trying to copy and paste a huge SQL query from SQL Management Studio (like I always do) to the dataset window.
This method usually works, but for this extremely long SQL query with nested SELECTs and JOINs, it seems as though the Report Designer dataset query window limits the number of characters including carriage returns I can input in it.
When I paste my SQL query from SQL Management Studio, it seems to paste only three quarters of the query, and thereafter I am not able to manually key in anything else or even make a line feed in the dataset query window.
Is there a limit to the number of characters I can key in here ? If so, is there any workarounds or configurations I can try ?
I have created a report that displays a limited number of rows and columns when called as a sub-report. If the report is called directly, all rows are returned and all columns are shown. I would like to control how large the report is (BodySize) when called as a sub-report as not all columns will be shown. This sub-report is part of a dashboard where several other sub-reports are also shown, so reducing the size is important. I hope to avoid the need to have a version of the report when called from the dashboard and also a version when called in expanded mode.
Ok-I'm new at this, but just found out that to get data off a form and insert into SQL I can scrape it off the form and insert it in the <insertParameter> section by using <asp:ControlParameter Name="text2" Type="String" ControlID="TextBox2" PropertyName="Text"> (Thanks CSharpSean) Now I ALSO need to set the user name in the same insert statement. I put in a UserName control that is populated when a signed in user shows up on the page. But in my code I've tried: <asp:ControlParameter Name="UserName" Type="String" ControlID="LoginName1" DefaultValue="Daniel" PropertyName="Text"/> and I get teh errorDataBinding: 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginName' does not contain a property with the name 'Text'. So I take PropertyName="Text" out, and get the error:PropertyName must be set to a valid property name of the control named 'LoginName1' in ControlParameter 'UserName'. what is the proper property value? SO.....BIG question...Is there a clean way to pass UserName to the insert parameters? Or ANY value for that matter? Id like to know how to write somehting likeString s_test = "test string";then in the updateparameter part of the sqldatasource pass SOMEHITNG like (in bold) <asp:Parameter Name="UserName" Type="String" Value=s_test /> Thanks in advance...again!

Hi, I am trying to create a XML out of sql 2005 database using FOR XML. I need to create XML for tables which may contain data having non-printable ascii characters (1-32 ascii character). I found FOR XML AUTO failes to genrate this XML, but i can genrate XML using CDATA section in FOR XML EXPLICIT. As following querie works fine for me.
SELECT 1 AS tag NULL AS parent, template_id AS [Emailqueue!1!user_id], misc1 AS [Emailqueue!1!!cdata] FROM Emailqueue WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE queue_id = -2147483169 FOR XML EXPLICIT
in above query misc1 column may contain some non printable ascii characters.
But i need to store this XML data in some sql XML variable as i need to pass it to store procedure which expects an xml input. While doing following i gets an error saying "illegal xml character"
DECLARE @XMLMessage XML
SET @XMLMessage = (SELECT 1 AS tag NULL AS parent, template_id AS [Emailqueue!1!user_id], misc1 AS [Emailqueue!1!!cdata] FROM Emailqueue WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE queue_id = -2147483169 FOR XML EXPLICIT)
I am doing all this exercise for SQL service broker. For which i even need to process same message using OPENXML on differen database server. Again which will need well formated XML.
I have a Reporting Services report available in a Windows Sharepoint Services webpart. The report is too large to display in the webpart window requiring the user to use the scroll bars. Is there any way to reduce the size of the report so that fits completely within the webpart without using scroll bars?

I wonder is there any way I can turn off the "Documentation Feedback" sectionof the Books Online at the bottom of the pages... I'm printing some BooksOnline pages for own reference.Thanks in advance...--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200706/1
I know that anything in a CDATA section will be ignored by an XML parser. Does that hold true for the SSIS XML Source?
I am trying to import a large quantity of movie information and all of the reviews, synopsis, etc are contained in CDATA. example:
<synopsis size="100"><![CDATA[Four vignettes feature thugs in a pool hall, a tormented ex-con, a cop and a gangster.]]></synopsis>
Sounds like a good one, no?
The record gets inserted into the database however it contains a NULL in the field for the synopsis text. I would imagine that the reason for this would fall at the feet of CDATA's nature and that SSIS is ignoring it.
Can anyone tell me is it possible to put static data (a string) inside details section of a table? I've tried to find some more pieces of information in the Report Definition Language Specification, but to no avail.
When I put some strings as a detail's cells values they are displayed in the preview window in VS. But thay are invisible when I open my report using ReportViewer in my app. So does it means that the only accepted value of a cell within the details section of a table is a name of the field from DataSet (something like =Fields!FieldName.Value) ?
