I have upgraded SQL 2005 express to the Express Advanced edition so I could utilize the reporting Services feature. After installing I have the ReportServer db and the 2 IIS virtual directories as expected. As well the Reporting Services configuration menu item is available. However, when I go thru Management studio Express to connect I only display Database Engine in the Server Type dropdown, which is greyed out. I have selected the other SQL Servers under Server Name and none allow for the selection of Reporting Services in the Server Type dropdown. Any suggestions?
We are constrained to use a model that stores records in a main table and various attributes of the record in a second table. Something like this: main record table CAR, attribute table CAR_DETAILS with CAR_DETAILS have key value pairs like "color" "blue" and "doors" "4".
For reports we need to flatten the one to many nature of this to get CAR and color and doors by using an aggregate function like:
car_id, max(car_detail.value) filtered on car_detail.key = "color", max(car_detail.value) filtered on car_detail.key = "doors".
This works on other tables but the car_detail table (shall we say) appears to store its values as blobs. In any case when we attempt to aggregate we get "The query uses an aggregate function on a large value type expression. Large value type expressions can not be aggregated."
Since we can't change the model, we would need to use another function to change this to a smaller string (or date, these are actually mostly date), but none of the very limited set of functions available seems to work to make this aggregation possible (and there is no "first" or anything else similar).
The list of functions available in Report Model Queries can be found at [URL] .....
I am trying to create a report in report in reporting services.
The requirement is to display the data in a chart. A surface chart to be exact.
It appears that reporting services has most of the Excel type charts available to display the data but I do not see the Surface Chart type. Is this type available in SQL Server 2005 reporting services? If not, is there a 3rd party software available that integrates into BIDS?
I am using Sql REporting Services 2005 for viewing reports in my web application. I have to change the chart types at run time basesd on the option. User can select any chart eg. bar chart, pie chart, column chart etc. On selection screen should populate the chart type. I am not able to change chart type at runtime. Help please.
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The TypeName field has a value that is not valid. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidElementException: The TypeName field has a value that is not valid. at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2010Impl.FindItems(String Folder, BooleanOperatorEnum BooleanOperator, Property[] SearchOptions, SearchCondition[] SearchConditions, CatalogItem[]& Items) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2010.FindItems(String Folder, BooleanOperatorEnum BooleanOperator, Property[] SearchOptions, SearchCondition[] SearchConditions, CatalogItem[]& Items)
The type appears to be correct. I've tried type of "Folder" and receive the same error.
I installed the SharepointRS.msi add-in and configured the Reporting Services to the sharepoint integration mode. After the installation ,I am supposed to find a new section in the Application management of Central Administration Tool of sharepoint called Reporting services. But i am not able to find that.
I am using sql reporting services 2005 for viewing my reports, Now i want to change chart type of my report according to diffrent selection, there will be pie chart, coulmn chart , bar chart or many more options resides in my web application and according to user selection , chart of that report should be change.
I have to display the data in the below said formats..Current sample Data in the table and the data type is numeric(23,10)
50.00 0.50 0.00 0.00
To be displayed in the below format
1.25 0.75 0 0 1
I have to map this column in teh report and should dipslay like above.I think if 0.00 is available then it should display as 0..If 1.0 is available then it should display 1.Any value that has postive number after the decimal should display all the values example : 2.25,3.75,5.06, So in general the solution to display values like 1.75,1,0 we should not dispaly 0 as 0.00 and 1 as 1.00 and 2 as 2.00 and so on...Any Solutions in terms of SQL query or SSRS expression.
I'm modifying a report that uses a date parameter as a report filter. The original report had no restrictions on what dates may be entered, so it displayed a neat Calendar picker tool for use in selecting the date for the parameter.
Thing is, this new version needs to have the dates limited to only those available in the source data. So, when I provide a query to describe the available values in the parameter properties window, instead of the nifty Calendar picker, I get a texbox dropdown list. [insert sad sound here]
I was hoping that it would still provide the Calendar picker, but with available dates highlighted in bold or some color or the unavailable dates greyed out, something along those lines; not an unimaginative dropdown list. To define the available values, I use a very simple query;
SELECT DISTINCT Load_Date FROM Census ORDER BY Load_Date
Is there a way to get it to display a Calendar tool rather than the dropdown list, if the parameter is given a list of available dates?
I'm using Cube.My DimDate tables Datekey is integer .But client wants a calendar to set date as you see in picture .how can I change calendar value which will be input by user.
I have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report. Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.
Error:[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ?
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?
I started my Reporting Server and if I use the Internet Explorer as a Administrator everything works fine.But if I don't open it as an admin it calls "rsAccess Denied The user [...] does not have the permission...".Problem is that I want to run it in an SAP Program with an HTML Viewer. how I can get those Permissions ?By the way somehow I'm not able to create or change roles in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
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.
I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.
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
How do you create a dynamic column in reporting services? On the report I created I've a field call "Address 2', this field doesn't display data all the time. I wan this field to only display when there is data present.
I have to find out how to use the Reporting services in SQL Server 2000. Can any one expert in this field give some sort of direction. Any kind of resource on SQL server reporting will help.
I managed to install Reporting services ok on a laptop running XP Pro. However I have run into all sorts of problems trying to install it on a Laptop running Vista Business with II7.0
When I tried browsing the reports folder (by using the url: localhost/reports), it could not resolve it.
I got a bt further by using the url: 127.0.0.1/reports. However having part displayed the page it gave me the following error: The underlying connection was closed. An unexpected error occurred on a send.
I googled this error and was told to check the Reporting Configuration tool.
When I did this I got the following error
There was an error while refreshing the reporting services configuration manager. The exception details are: A connection to the computer cannot be established
Details: Access denied
However I can connect to SQL Server via Management Studio
hi, I am new to sql server reporting services,in my case i am passing parameters from frontend(Asp.net). when i pass more than 30 parameters my report is showing parameters which is not a desired one even though i am making showparameterPrompts property to false.
can any one tell me how to pass more no of parameters to the Report.
I've come across what appears to be a bug in SSRS. If after reading this post you feel otherwise, please reply to this thread...
I am trying to use SSRS to print to a Dymo LabelWriter 400 printer. This is a specialized label printer that prints one label to a page. The label paper I am using 2-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches. The Dymo printer driver prints portait layout as being the 2-1/2 inches width and 1-1/2 inches height. I assume that is because the paper rolls through the printer that way and labels normally are printed with more width than height.
Other software programs I use to print to this printer handles it properly (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office Document Imaging, Dymo Label software). However, SSRS seems to assume that portrait layout must mean paper height > width, as there is no explicity setting in SSRS to for page layout. The result is that no matter how I layout my SSRS report (e.g., switch width-height values, use tb-rl to rotate text), SSRS makes the final decision on whether it is portrait or lanscape. And in this case of the Dymo printer, it always sets it to the opposite of what it should be. Changing the printer settings (whether default or whether in print dialog) does not correct it.
Although assuming that portrait layout must mean paper height > width may seem to make logical sense, not every printer works that way; and other software programs (including Microsoft Office) do not make that assumption. It seems that SSRS and/or RDL spec should allow one to explicitly set portrait/landscape setting and not care about width-height ratio. It should be left to the printer and printer driver to decide.
Have other people come across this issue, either with Dymo printer or in other context? Were they able to find a workaround?
I have a relatively simple question about SQL Server Reporting Services.
I want to know if SQL Server "Reporting Services" are included as part of SQL Server in all flavors or editions? Do you ever have to buy Reporting Services separate or is it ever not included with SQL Server?
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 Service would not Start on windows server 2003. Working great till yesterday and no changes were made to config file.

I have installed SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services with the default names for the virtual directories , (ReportServer and Reports). Is there any way i can change the name of these directories by running a script or some thing.
Also is there a way to use the Cascaded Style Sheet used in my ASP.NET application for the reports.
