Local Reports Issue

Apr 29, 2008

I'm having a nightmare issue with an application we sell.


The system is a three tier system.
We have world wide about 40 installations.


The system uses MS reporting services to produce reports.
All bar one of the reports are server based reports.
While the remaining one is kept local for performance reasons, as it prints a small label in high quantities.


Now this local report is working fine except in one sistuation.


One of our customers has 8 of our systems.
All 8 are clones. The client machines were ghosted to ensure everyone got the same. The databases all started off identical. The Server software is all identical.


However.. one of these systems is about once a week throwing an exception when it goes
to print this local report.
"An error occured during local report processing."



99% of the time it prints fine. Once the exception is thrown, the only way to make it work again is to quit
out of the application and reopen it, where upon it will start to work again.


All other information returned is soley stack traced from our program, pointing out the button that caused the report to attempt to render and fail.


Here in lies my problem.


I have had the client machine rebuilt from ground up.
The server software has been checked and is definitely identical to everyone else's.


I've taken a copy of their database and spent days trying to reproduce the exception with no success on our machines.
I've logged in remotely and spent hours working on their system to force the issue with no success.


I've also tried cutting the label down so that no fields are displayed, but the exception still remains...


The developers of the system have not been very useful.
The store staff are very fed up of ringing me and saying that big red error message is up again!


Any ideas would be highly appreciated. This has been going round in circles since december.


Do local reports show any more detailed logs anywhere, like the Server based ones?


Cheers
Chris

Local Reports

Nov 11, 2005

Thanks for the info but I am interested in designing and running local reports in a windows form.  I have not been able to find correct documentation on how you define a schema that can be used to create an rdlc file for design of a report that uses a datasource that is set at runtime.  Specifically, I would like to use business objects that return a data table in a get method.

Using Local Reports That Hit A Database

Jan 7, 2008

I have a bunch of reports that I need to display. I've designed the reports using the Report Designer. Basically what I want to happen is to view the reports in local mode with the report viewer, but have them hit the database to get the values. I've designed them all with the database, I just don't want to go through all the hassle of setting up a report server. Plus, I've got a demo later this week so time is kind of a factor. Is what I'm trying to do possible? I really need help as the demo is this week

Local SQL Server Instances Not Showing Up On Local Servers Tab Of Management Studio Logon Screen

Oct 2, 2007

We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.

Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig

Dec 21, 2005

Hi Everyone

I am at the stage of architecting my solution

My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda

There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory

The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication

The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server

I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.

I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases

I would appreciate your help immensley

Comparison Of SQL Server Reporting Services To Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos Or Other Options

Nov 5, 2007

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:

re: Reporting Options with SQL Server

I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:

Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?

I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?

Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS Reports

Mar 27, 2008


My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:

In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).

As an example:

I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".

With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127

This will only return results within those ranges.


Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?

Thanks,

Patrick Conway

Copy Reports From Other Users My Reports Folder

Aug 7, 2007

Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.

The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.


Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Error On (local)

Aug 8, 2006

An error occurred in the system, and last operation may not have completed: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
The above error I get when I like to connect to a db for a wiki. It's on localhost and everything I found on the internet I tried. Remote connections are not relevant because it's local. Have I something forgotten?? SQL Server 2005, Asp.net 2.0

I am trying to create a procedure or function that will deal with weekly information for staff records.

Rather than declaring 14 local variables for the information, is it possible to declare a local variable as an array? Sorry for using VB terminology - not sure how SQL would describe it.

Local DB Affected By VPN

Nov 27, 2007

I work on a local copy of a database (Access 2000 MDB with ODBC linkedtables to a SQL 7 database). The SQL Server db I'm working with is on my Cdrive (MSDE). Occasionally I'll connect to a VPN to do something on a remotecomputer, using PC Anywhere to perform the task. Doesn't involve my front orback end at all, except that the computer I'm VPNing to has a SQL databaserunning.OK, so I'm using my db; I connect to the VPN, and do my thing. Everything'sfine. However, if I then disconnect from the VPN (or if the VPN connectiontimes out and disconnects itself), I then can no longer access my local SQLServer database. My Access application still works fine, as long as itdoesn't have to look at any data. When it does have to look at data, I getODBC call failed. I have to close and reopen my Access database, and theneverything is fine.So, it seems that, for some reason, when I connect to the VPN, my local SQLServer or the ODBC driver or something in the mix is looking at that remotedatabase as part of what I'm using. Then, when the VPN connection is closed,it won't access my local database for some reason.Oh, and my local database and the remote database both have the same name.So that may be part of the problem.Any ideas as to what's going on?Thanks!Neil
