Hello, I have a report that looks fine in preview, but when put to PDF or printed contains gaps at the right and bottom.
Here is a picture of the problem: http://northeasttigers.webng.com/pdfproblem.jpg
My tables are the same width as the body, 15.5cm, and the report width is 21cm. Also adding the bottom table's top location attribute to it's height gives the same height as the body.
Any help much appreciated.

I'm trying to use the PRINT statement to trace what an SP is doing, while
running in QA.
However, some PRINTs seem not to print anything. I can see that the
code part is being executed.
Any ideas? (It's just simple prints like print 'executing an insert' .)
In my SQL2005 SSRS table, I have formatted the numbers to be C0 (currency, 0 decimal places). The numbers display like this: Even the fomat expression builder shows an R in its example!
R 456,220
In the same report, a table immediately above it that I created yesterday is formatted the same way but displays with the correct formatting:
$456,220
What did I do? Thanks!
Hi,
I have several reports out of which only one report is acting weirdly.
The report displays fine when I open it up but when I try to print it,
it only prints the first page. I tried exporting it to PDF and the same
thing, the PDF has only one page. I tried exporting in all formats and
found that PDF and TIF are not working but the other formats (web
archive, HTML, XML and CSV) are fine. The excel format gives me this
error:
Exception of type
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.ReportRenderingException
was thrown. (rrRenderingError) Get Online Help
Exception of type
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.ReportRenderingException
was thrown.
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of
the collection. Parameter name: index
I need the PDF format to work. Any ideas why this particular report is
bad? Another note of interest. This report uses only a subreport that works
fine in another report. Please help.
Thanks,
Anand
I am using SQL RS 2005 with VS2005 in Windows Application. I have placed Report Viewer on Windows From and then report is attached with it. Now report previews well in BIDS as well as in VS2005. Moreover it exports perfectly to pdf and excel but when I click print button on report viewer and give direct print to printer, font size, textbox, rectangle and every other thing become large, like instead of 10 font size, it prints 12, instead of 240 width of rectangle, it prints 280 or so.
There must be some solution to this thing. Some one help
I am getting an error "An error occured during printing (0x80004005)" - when i am trying to print - and the i still am able to print - but only 1 page.
Thre registry key - Reporting services was not there - so i created it at

Please help - what should i do now ?
Newbie question for which I ask your patience:
I had set my ProjectpropertiesTarget Server URL some time ago and now need to deploy additional files in specific folders and cannot remember how to map a url back to a file location. I have searched for the deployed files on target server and have not found them.
Can someone explain how SSRS deploys; does it physically place files on the target server (.pdfs)? Suggest how I can map the URL back to a directory location on some server?
thanks, MDM
My code prints out 0 for the value of charindex ( 'Hello.', '.' ).Did I miss something? I think it should print out 6!
View 1 Replies View RelatedAll of my reports that are formatted 11x8.5 are outputting to PDF correctly. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat, it appears in Landscape on the screen. However, when I click the print button, by default it is printing it in portrait. I can go to File-->Print Setup and change the orientation from Portrait to Landscape, but why doesn't it translate from the file orientation? This may just be a bug in the Adobe Acrobat software, but I want to make sure there isn't something I can do.
Thanks.
Quick question...
Is a report rendered as PDF, a real PDF?
I want to deliver reports for an application we are developing via or current ECM system. I need the report to be full text indexed. A TIFF wrapped in a PDF isn't always the best thing for full text indexing.
I am using an image datatype to store multiple filetypes includeing plaintext data. it works except for pdf Data. When I retrieve the the filecouldn't be opened in acrobat reader and the file was 3KB bigger than theoriginal.Any suggestions would be helpful.

I am very new to Reporting Services. When I set the report to landscape, either by setting width and height at 11 X 8.5 when in layout, or by setting landscape in page setup when I am in preview, a blank page prints in between each report page. I've checked the forum, and tried setting margins to 0, but have not had any success. I saw this response:
the body width plus margins should be less than the defined page width. but I'm not sure what settings are being referred to
Has anyone been able to solve this problem?
Thanks very much.

Does anyone know if SQL 2008 Reporting Services will support generating secure PDFs?
We have seen that there are expensive 3rd party plug ins. We are not as interested in using a 3rd party plug in, because they tend to be costly and then there are maintenance issues (and in that case we may as well stick with our current separate reporting tool rather than converting to Reporting Services), but any other suggestions as to how to accomplish this in reporting services would be appreciated.
Thanks
I'm building a system when one can upload a document to the website.I will be storing the document on the hard-drive for quick/easy access,but I was also thinking of storing it in an existing database since mostof the sites information is all stored there.As well there would be only one place to worry about backing up. And ifthe file on the hard-drive was ever missing or became corrupted, I couldrestore it form tha database. Is this feasable?

I have recently converted reports from Crystal Reports 10 to RS 2005. These reports are run daily via a SQL job and exported to PDF files, where users are able to view them.
A user pointed out to me that in the PDF's exported from Crystal Reports, they could select text, starting with the first row of data, and highlight each row by dragging the Adobe Selection tool down the page, row by row.
Now, with the PDF's exported from RS, when you try using the selection tool to highlight each row by dragging down the page, it appears to randomly highlight rows in no particular order.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
I have a report that I'd like to involve in delivering tons of PDFs for each of our customers for a billing cycle. There is a table that the report reads from that gives it all its data necessary for the report (which is a customer bill) and the table also has a column that has the file name for the PDF for that particular customers bill for the report. Basically each table row represents one output report (bill) and each table row has its name nicely formated for me. Writing the report is not a problem. Figuring out how to run through thousands of rows generating a PDF for each with the file name from the table is my challenge.
I would like to create either a SP or a SSIS package (that is scheduled) that can run a report for each line of data in my table and spit out a PDF file to a UNC path. It might have to generate thousands of PDFs to a UNC path that has plenty of space. There will be another SSIS package that moves the PDFs later to their proper directory.
So, is there someone who has done this before? Any suggestions? Is there a quick path to doing this, would it take a ton of time? Any tutorials out there?
Thanks,
Keith
p.s. My preference is to do this in SP's or SSIS and if I need a .NET language to do that in VB.NET, but I'd rather avoid that if I can.
I have been fighting with Reporting Services all day, and despite setting the PDF output quality to 300DPI, I have noticed that the image quality appears to be only 96DPI. I've noticed this because images with a size set for 300DPI are too large for the page, and images set for 96DPI fit just right.
Could someone please tell me if this is a limitation of Reporting Services 2005, or am I just doing something wrong?
I need to know this because I am up against a deadline with this project. I had ran several tests with Reporting Services but had never had assumed there would be problems with image quality.
Is there any other product that offers similar features to Microsoft Reporting Services that you could recommend?
My luck has not been very good with this project, and I'm assuming the response is going to be 96DPI is all that is supported...

I have a report that groups a particular dataset by customer, with a page break between each customer. If print this report, it looks great - one page per customer.
What I would like to do is have the report deployed on schedule to a windows file share, one .pdf file per customer. How to parse the output into individual .pdfs (one per customer) instead of a single .pdf containing all customers? I get it if this is not possible.
My current (painful) workaround would be to replicate the report for each potential customer, and set a schedule for each report to deploy sequentially. (Customer 1 at 9:00, Customer 2 at 9:01, etc).
Currently on SQL Server/Visual Studio 2008.
I tried the following,
1. Created a INSTEAD OF TRIGGER for INSERT
2. In the trigger, I have written a sql which inserts data in the same table
3. When I do the INSERT on the table the data in the trigger gets inserted
4. I was sort of expecting a recursive loop
Is this the normal behavior?

I have a simple invoice, inventory, billing program that is doing something strange but I can't track it down.
I can't figure out what triggers it but occasionally when I add an invoice to a customer all the other invoices are added to the last customer updated.
My update statement on the invoice table is
UPDATE Invoices
SET Date = @Date, InvoiceTotal = @InvoiceTotal, SubTotal = @SubTotal, Tax = @Tax, CustomerID = @CustomerID
WHERE (CustomerID = @CustomerID)
The only triggers on the table are to update the qty in Inventory and another trigger that fires when a payment is entered.
Any Ideas?

Is there a way to either set Sql Server 2000 or ASP.net datetime fields to a standard format. The problem is that I am passing correct datetime fields using stored procedures and keep getting "Cannot convert datetime into string". It seems to me that many other developers are having that same problem. I tried alot of different methods and still have the same problem. I'm using c# and I never had a problem with datetime fields when I was using vb.net. The problem is that SQl Server is returning datetime formats that are not compatible with c#. I have code that works in other projects but when I try to use that same code I get that conversion error. How do I set the datetime in SQl Server and ASP.Net when I run queries so that the datetime output is in mm/dd/yyyy?

Hi!
I get this mysterious error while running an update.
SQLServer tells me that my update row is to big to fit in a row.
Then I check the size of the row and and it is like 2000 bytes so
it should fit without any problem at all. The really strange about
it that when comments a field it works just fine. That field is always
null. Could that be the problem. Anyone who have ever had a similar
problem or so?
Second post for the day. I've just noticed a few indexes in our tables that have are named like such: hind_c_207_1. They seem to have been put in automatically, and are messing with our index structure. Anyone know where these come from and how I can stop them? Any help would be great.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am facing a pretty strange issue running a query in SQL Server through an ODBC client. Here is what is happening -
1. I am able to connect to SQL server. The connect entry is present in ODBC log as well as SQL Server trace. Running sp_who2 active indicates the connection to be active. No problem here.
2. At this point, running a simple query (something that returns in less than 10 mts or so) comes back with the result set. No problem here.
3. However, when a complex query (that it does not return anything even after 10 mts) is run, a run of sp_who2 active or dbcc inputbuffer commands indicate that the connection created initially is not there any longer. SQL Server trace indicates a logout event for the connection. However, ODBC log indicates that the connection is still active in SQL Server and the ODBC client continues to wait for the results of the query for hours until I kill it.
I use ODBC 4.2 client on AIX 5.2 and connect to SQL Server 2005.
One of the theories I have is that the AIX server does not respond to more than a certain number of keep alive messages resulting in SQL Server closing the connection gracefully thinking that the client is no longer available. However, even after changing the keep alive setting for TCP/IP in Network Configuration Menu to 4 hrs, the same behaviour continues.
Can someone throw some light as to what might be happening?
Thanks.

Hi All,I'm trying to track down a mysterious problem we're experiencing inwhich updates and inserts to tables in our mssql2k server appear to be'disappearing.'To explain our situation:We have a web page (written in ASP, if that's relevant) on which weaccept enrollment information.When that page is submitted, the form data is passed to a storedprocedure on our mssql2k server, which performs several operations,all of which are wrapped in a transaction.In particular, the stored procedure performs an update operation on arecord in one table (i'll call it TableA) and an insert into anothertable (TableB).If the procedure encounters a problem (ie after each update / insertoperation in the procedure we test for IF @@Error<>0) it performs arollback, performs a select similar to the one immediately below, andthen RETURNs.SELECT '1' as error, 'Unable to update TableA' as errormsgIf the procedure doesn't fail any of the @@Error tests, thetransaction is committed, and a membership number is SELECTed to bereturned.SELECT '0' as error, @memnum as membershipnumberThe @memnum variable is populated within the transaction.Back in the ASP page we test both for the proc returning an emptyrecordset, or for it passing an explicit value in the error field, andpush the page to an error page if either of these conditions are met.If, on the other hand, none of these conditions are met, and themembershipnumber field in the recordset is populated with a validmembership number, we push to a confirmation page.This confirmation page receives the membership number in a sessionvariable, performs a SELECT against TableB (the table that receivedthe insert during the proc) using that membership number in the WHEREclause, and the resultant recordset is used to populate theconfirmation details on that page. That recordset is also then used topopulate the details of a confirmation email, which is automaticallysent by the confirmation page.And now here's our problem: we've become aware of a handfull of peoplewho have gone through the enrollment process, have received theconfirmation email containing the information they supplied asexpected, but the data appears to be entirely missing from our tables.By that I mean that the record in TableA does not appear to have beenupdated (under normal circumstances that record should have hadseveral flags set, and several other fields updated with informationsupplied by the person enrolling), and the record in TableB does notappear to have been inserted.In essence, looking at our tables, it *feels* like the transaction inthe stored procedure for that particular enrollment hit a problem andwas rolled back. However, the evidence that we have in the form of theconfirmation email argues strongly that the data must have existed inour tables (particularly in TableB), if only for an unknown period oftime.We're kind of at our wit's end to work out what is going wrong withthese enrollments. From my understanding of transactions (and I couldwell be wrong) any changes to data (ie updates, inserts etc) containedwithin are essentially 'invisible' to any other operation (ie theSELECT that happens in the confirmation page) until the transaction iscommitted, implying that the effect of the update and insert shouldhave been 'permanently' successful if no error code is received and ifa valid membership number was returned. I ask, because someone in ourteam has suggested that maybe the operations in the transaction'lasted long enough' in the tables to have been visible for the SELECTon the confirmation page to have worked, but were then subsequentlyrolled back, explaining why the confirmation email is appropriatelypopulated and why the data then appears to be missing. However, as Isaid, this doesn't match my understanding of how transactions behave.Sorry for the length of this post, but I felt it was best to explainthis as best as I could.Does anyone have any advice they can give us on this situation? ie,are there any known problems with operations in transactions 'bleedingover' into tables, but then being rolled back at some later point?Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how we can furtherdiagnose this issue?Truly, any help will be immensely appreciated...Thanks in advance,M Wells
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,It looks like a mystery, but I hope there should be some explanation tothe issue I experience. Once in a blue moon a random stored procedurestops working the way it was designed. The stored procedure code looksunchanged. Recompiling, altering the code do not help. It looks like itis simply does not execute some part of it or does not run at all.However it returns no errors.One time a procedure entered into infinite loop and almost hang thewhole server.When I copy procedure code and save it under different name, it worksas designed. But nothing helps with existing procedure. The only wayhow to fix it is to completely drop and recreate.The problem is, that you usually have to do it in the middle of thebusiness day after you spent few hours trying to realize what wentwrong before you realize that you got another mysterious corruption. Ofcause I have no clue of how to detect such things in advance and toprevent them from occurring in the future.I can guarantee that the SQL code in those procedures was absolutelybug free, fully tested and was working fine for a long time.For the first time I thought that internal compiled code might corrupt.In this case altering or recompiling should help.I also thought about execution plan, but it should be also fixed bydoing things above.DBCC checkdb does not find any errorsThe issue never goes away until stored procedure is manually droppedand recreated with the same SQL code.So, I'm asking all if someone experienced something similar and canexplain how to prevent it, please share the knowledge. I wouldappreciate any type of help.Thank you.

When executing some "big" update on a Sql Server 2005 standard edition SP1 (not clustered), sometimes it stops in a middle of work with this message:
The specified network name is no longer available. [SQLSTATE 08S01] (Error 64) Communication link failure [SQLSTATE 08S01] (Error 64)
I was reading some articles but they were all about clustered servers. Somewhere I read that it could be a memory problem, so we put 3G RAM and separate 20G paging partition beside the other data and backup partitions. The problem stays...
Funny thing is that it can sometimes happen but sometimes not with the same conditions!?
The server is Windows 2003 Server standard edition with SP1.
