Options For Generating Reports
Oct 26, 2007
Hi,
I am very new to RS and I have a scenario that I am not sure how to enact in the application I am building.
I have a report that generates remittances for an EFT payment file. The Remittances in this file are either printed or emailed to the company they are form. The output type and recipients email address are stored in the Db.
I would like the user to be able to click my Generate Remittance button, and instead of the report being rendered on screen, I would like it to automatically send all remittances marked for printing to the printer, and all marked email to be sent to the email address that is in the Db for that report.
I am thinking that my application will need to run the report twice, the first time reporting on only the ones needing printing (but then how do I automatically send the report to the users default printer without the report being rendered on screen), and then a second time reporting on the emailed ones and then automatically emailing them off to the individual recipients.
If anyone can shed some light on what I am needing to do, or maybe even suggest a better way to go about it, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Jason

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.

Hello,
SRS 2005 provides functionality for loading and rendering reports on fly using LoadReportDefinition and Render methods defined in ReportExecutionService webservice.
I was wondering if the same/similar behaviour can be accomplished in Reporting Services 2000.
Thanks in advance,

I have a report that I pass parameters of a clientID. I run the report and export it to a .pdf file. I would like to be able to do this for multiple clients without manually having to enter the ID each time and exporting it.
I have thought about creating a report that calls this report so that I can pass in the clientID one at a time. The problem is trying to export each one.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I've created a data flow where I have linked to an OLE DB Source then created a Flat File Destination. My file is now on my c: drive. I'd like to use that data to create a report, then print to a PDF. How would I do that?
Currently I was doing this in Access, but I am moving my processes to SSIS.

We use timed subscriptions to do almost all of our reporting. Reports are delivered (primarily via e-mail and printer) once they are completed and users don't have to "watch the pot boil" so to speak.
Apparently SSRS has some load balancing capability whereby it lets only a limited number of threads/reports run concurrently. We often reach this max and lock ourselves up on some very long-running reports, causing other important reports to wait a long time.
We've added some operational reports (ie. document prints) to the mix. These reports run off of OLTP data. They are very fast and very high priority. Waiting on them is not an option. Is there some way we can get SSRS to work on these operational reports in preference to other types of reports (eg. "just for kicks" reports)? I think we'd almost like to add another SSRS server and dedicate it to the operational reports. Ideally the new SSRS server would use the same Report Server database but would only work on subscriptions for certain documents.
Has anybody else tried to solve this problem? This MS document does really address subscriptions or load balancing by report: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/pspsqlrs.mspx
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a long running report (using a couple of sub-reports) that generates errors when trying to render the report during replication of the source data.
Specifically, I have a detailed product report displaying detailed sales information for a particular product and date. I then wrapped this report in a parent report so the business users can see multiple products for multiple days (i.e. all sales by department). The reports use a replicated database for their source (to off-load the traffic from the production POS database). If the users try and generate the report during the window when the database is being replicated, some of the €śsub-reports€? fail. If the users simply re-run the report, all of the data is there. Therefore, I know it€™s not a problem with the report, but rather with the data.
Since the report takes so long to render, simply re-running the report is not a very good solution. Another problem I have is that reporting services returns the generic €śError: sub-report could not be generated€? error, which causes the users to think there is something wrong with the report.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Or notify the users when the data is being updated?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
David.

Hi, I'm a first time user at reporting services and in dire need of some help, I'm having a real hard time finding the information I need.
I have made two reports in Business Intelligence Development Studio that access a sql database and I can deploy them and see them at http://localhost/reports etc.
What I wan't to do is be able to "trigger" the reports to be built from a schedule (e.g. every 8 hour on weekdays, every 12 hours on weekends but should be able to be changed) and after built to be saved to a html file.
I also need to set the sql query for the dataset before generating the report (select * from table where DateTimeType between This and That).
Anyway, I'm completely lost on how to achive this and would greatly appreciate and tips or pointers to where the information can be found.
Kindest Regards

I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report.
I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.
Any help is appreciated

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

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.

Hi ,
I could do with a couple of pointers to the best options to acheive my goal, I'm pretty close with the way I've done it, but I feel there is a more elegant solution out their so your help would be most appreciated.
The problem is finding the best way of moving some SQL Server 2000 changed data into sql server 2005. We are only interested in some tables in 2000 (and sometimes just subsets of those). Because there are quite a few tables and the we want to set up a schedule to run periodically, we chose SSIS. The main reason for this is to utilise a for each loop that pulls each tables name from a one column staging table of table names. (that way we can do more or less comparisons by simply adding and removing from the staging table) Also in this loop, using the table name as a variable, we run an exec sql task along the lines of 'SELECT * from varTable EXCEPT SELECT * from varTable_tracker' which gives us the difference beteween the two tables (where the tracker table is a copy of the data table which is sychronised at the end of the job run). So far so good. Now the tricky bit, EXCEPT only works under 2005, the tables are in 2000 so we ended up having a linked server in 2005 back to the 2000 table. Is there a way of acheiving the same result without involving the linked server - or is there a task (script?) we can run to verify the linked server is up before we excecute the job -we already run checks on Connection Managers to see if they are up but never tried linked servers? Lastly, will performance be an issue
Thanks

hey guys, i need your help please.
here is the scenario:
1. I need to return a data back to client (result set varies 20-10,000)
2. I only want to show 20 records at a time
3. To get info i need to display i need to join 10 tables
When there are small #s of records it works but when i get over 8000 then it becomes a problem:
1. The first version was:
Get all data using big query and return everything back to client and display only 20 at a time (not very proficient).
Takes around 15 seconds to view 20 records.
2. Inspired by 4GuysFromRolla (http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/062899-1.shtml)
Use Stored Procedure w/ server side paging logic to get 20 records at the time. I had to pass every filter parameter and stuff. SP had to sort resultset and return only 20 records i need to display.
Takes around 5 seconds to view 20 records.
I still think it's slow, i know this is a very broad question but is there any other way to do it, logically?
Any help is appreciated.
Wojo.

Hi folks, Recently i've installed a fresh Installation of Opertaing Sys and SQL.
Win 2000 server, sp4
SQl 2000 Enterprise, sp3.
I am using Domain user service startup for sql and is member of domain admin. I've manually added the user in Local-Admin group of the system. Obviously it's also has Sys-Admin server roles.
The problem is; when i use enterprise manager and change any of the server settings; Priority Boost or Fix Memory Allocation for the Sql server, nothing happens, the options dialog box closes and doesn't ask for restarting the server neither does the settings take effect when i restart SQL.
However if i change the settings using sp_configure using the same user; it works. i've assigned a fixed memory to SQL but the option "Reserver Physical Memory For SQL" won't work. Couldn't find this option in SP_Configure.
Any ideas, what has gone wrong.

Hi all,
This follows on from a query I had a few days back (and for which I was promptly flamed! However, I've got skin like a rhinoseros, so here goes...)
I have a table - ProjectSite - that is pulling information from a two tables (Project and Site). This table contains data regarding which sites are part of which project.
I now want a means of reporting dates against this. The problem is that each project has bespoke milestone dates, so I can't just create columns in ProjectSite. The only solution I can see is to pull each project (and there's quite a few and its corresponding sites into a new table) and then I can create my bespoke columns.
Does this sound like the best viable option, or can anyone suggest another means of doing this?
TIA,
SamuelT

Hello all,
I am considering the different options for package deployment on the server.
Until now, I have found several different ways to deploy packages to the server (File System):
Using the Import option from the Management Studio (only one by one)
Using the Deployment Utility (Needs building the whole project. Opens all the packages in debugging mode, cannot deploy to different folders)
Using the dtutil by constructing a command line for each package deployment. (complicated)
Simply copying the files from the local project folder to the "Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackages" folder on the server.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for deployment?
The 4th seems to be the easiest one, but I seen anybody suggesting such an action. What's the downside of such an action?
Thanks,
Liran

I hoipe someone can point me in the right direction here.
I have an application with the following requirements (using SQL CE 2 alas)
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. Using rda, I need to get the modifications to these tables from the server (add/edit/delete) but the handheld will never update these tables.
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. The handheld needs to add/edit existing records, and it needs to get any changes from the server.
A set of tables on the server where the handheld needs to import a subset of the records. It needs to add (but not edit) new records, upload the new records to the server, and download any changed (add/edit/delete) records to the handheld.
What tracking options should I use in these 3 cases?
The problem comes in that I need to have some foreign key relationships in the database on the handheld. Since rda munges the names of primary keys (and indexes), I do not know of a good way to add these foreign key constraints. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello all. I am currently doing some research into options for
setting up reporting. Right now we have a server on EE that's
getting hit a bit too hard by the reports. The budget is
currently a bit low, but we already have a second server
purchased.
For our reporting, we need data that is up to date within the last 15
minutes (less if possible). Because of the potential size of some
of our transactions, I've ruled out log shipping as being too much
downtime of the reporting data while the second server is catching up
to speed. So, I'm trying to figure out what reporting options I
have left open to me.
1) I understand that for reporting purposes, a snapshot must be taken
of the mirrored server. Why are reports not able to run directly
off the mirror live (or am I mistaken?).
2) Is it possible to mirror from EE to SE (remember, low budget for the second server)?
3) How high is the overhead when doing a snapshot every 5-15 minutes (
I would think it's machine specific, but overall is it pretty quick or
prohibitive based on how often the snapshot would be needed)?
4) Is replication perhaps a better option based on how up to date the
data has to be? Are there any other options that may be available
for near-realtime reporting?
Thanks in advance for your time.
