Organizing Report Projects / Directories?
May 3, 2007
Hey All,
I'm tring to figure out the best way to organize my reports.
When I create a new Reporting Service Project throught the 2005 .NET IDE, I'm allowed to have 1 folder in the project to deploy to. I've tried adding folders under the default Reports folder, but I haven't found a way to do this. I'd like to be able to add more directories so I can deploy them right to the server, and they will be in the proper folders, with the correct access rights.
A developer here has offered the approach of One Report - One Project. I don't want to do this because the reports have so much in common, like datasources, that I don't want to be flipping back an forth from one project to the next.
I did also look to see if there was a way to assign a dircetory to each report, rather than the project level, but I didn't see way to do that. I also, tried to add folder through the Windows Explorer and see if I could get around this restriction, but no luck there either.
Anyway, How is everyone else organizing they projects?

Hi,
We are using Microsoft Reporting Service 2005 to develop reports. The
reports are pointing to the Analysis Services database.
We want to move the report project developed to another machine. Basically
we want to deploy the reports at the client end.
I have found the below url that mentions the steps for SQL Server 2005
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842425
Is this the only way to acheive the needed functionality or is there any
command line utility available that does this? or any other
simple procedure to do this?
We want to give the client, simple instructions to deploy the report project.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hello Reporting Services Gurus!
I'm about to start on my first reporting services project, but before I mess it up, I'm looking for some guidance on how best to achieve my mission. Here's what I'm looking to achieve:
I have a datacentric application (SQL Server 2005 Express w/ Advanced Services backend) in which I want to build about 50 "canned" reports for the end users. I want to build the reports utilizing server mode so I can take advantage of some of Reporting Services advanced features. I'm not sure what the best practice would be to build the reporting services project. Is it better to include the report project as another project within the application solution? Or, should I build the report project independent of the application solution? What are the pros and cons of doing it either way? How does including the report project build if it's included in the application solution? How would a ClickOnce deployment deploy the report project to the report server?
My ultimate goal would be to have an "off-the-shelf" software solution that includes an installation package consisting of the application project and report project. Is it even possible due to the Reporting Services architecture to achieve an install in this manner with ClickOnce, Windows Installer, or Installshield? Or, is building the report project indepedent of the application project and deploying the reports to the report server "manually" (i.e. deploy within the report server project) the only solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to organize DTS packages created in EM. I am starting to get a great deal of clutter in the production system and there is no 'folder' mechanism in the Data Transformation Services section of the EM.
Is there a way to organize these packages? Even if it is not in EM's DTS?

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to SQL Server 2005 and I'm wondering how to organize my
business rules efficiently.
I'm willing to create a Package with several Data Flow Task in my
Control Flow, each Business Rule will be encapsulated in a Data Flow
task. I guess this is possible in SSIS but I can't find how my data can
be send from one data flow to another one. I definitly don't want my
dataset to be parsed completly for each business rule.
Does anyone have an idea how to implement this in SSIS?
Kind regards,
Sébastien.

Does anyone have a successful prescribed sequence for installing VS2005 and Business Intelligence Reports Projects on a Vista Business workstation to be used to create reports for a server?
I've looked through everything I can find here and I don't seem to see a clear solution without a lot of trial and error.
Fact is, I've not been successful getting just the reports to install on a plain XP box. Of course, the report creation looks fine on the server but I don't want to work directly on the server.
Thank you

we have snapshot replication set up between 2 servers. works like a charm... :-)
the problem is this: several agents are set to run every half hour (snapshot & distribution). every time they run, the agents create a new directory entry under MSSQL7REPLDATA (naming convetion: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) and load it with files....
needless to say, after several days there are a LOT of directories. right now, we remove them manually, which is time consuming and a pain in the ass...
how do i configure SQL server to only make 1 or 2 dozen directory entries before starting to recycle them?
if this is a really simple fix everyone here knows, my apologies for clutering the board with a 'newbie' post. i'm not really a DBA, i was just 'volunteered'!... :-)

I've been trying to look for information about using an SQL 2005 database with ASP.NET 2.0 - while there are loads of different articles coving configuring a database to use with asp.net, I cannot find anything on securing a sub-folder in my asp.net application. At the moment I am successfully connecting to, and validating users via a login page in my asp.net application, however, this is all pointless since I can still browse to the pages without logging in! I have tried putting in the usual <location> tags in my root web.config file and asp.net throws an error referring to my connection string, I have also tried adding a web.config file to the sub-directory, but that just uses the windows login, and I can't find anything that'll allow me to tie my own login page to it... Arrrgh! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I have a machine where the SQL "data" directory was installed on the smaller drive instead of the larger drive. What do I have to do to move the existing databases? (Backup/restore, or detach - move it physically, then attach?)

Has anyone ever had a need to backup to multiple directories? I am building a general purpose stored procedure to do various types of backups, and I was wondering if the need to do this is common enough to make it worth the effort.
Example of backup to multiple directories:
backup database [MyBigDatabase]
to
disk= 'D:BACKUPMyBigDatabase_db_200709131454_001.BAK' ,
disk= 'E:BACKUPMyBigDatabase_db_200709131454_002.BAK' ,
disk= 'F:BACKUPMyBigDatabase_db_200709131454_003.BAK' ,
disk= 'G:BACKUPMyBigDatabase_db_200709131454_004.BAK' ,
disk= 'H:BACKUPMyBigDatabase_db_200709131454_005.BAK'
with
init,
stats = 5

Hi
I'm pulling my hair out on this one..... Installed SQLServer 2005 Express and upscaled my website and intranet site that runs my photo image library.
All my thumbnails and images are in a local D drive, while my site root is in C drive. I.e. <img src="file:///D|/Images-WMASTER......etc
Images will now not display. I've checked folder & sharing permissions, IIS permissions, all the usual stuff, but still with no luck after 2 weeks #@%$$@!!
If I change to a networked folder, such as <img src="file:///S|/Images-WMASTER...etc then they show fine.
All I can think is that there is some permissions issue with SQLServer that I'm unaware of.
Your erudite advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Rob

Hi,
I recently upgraded my Standard Edition SQL2005 to Developer Edition SQL2005 for the default instance (MSSQLSERVER) only. I used the following command line setup.exe commands to do the job -
start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=S
QL_Engine PIDKEY=OHNOYOUCANTSEETHISSORRY SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb
then
start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=Analysis_Server,RS_Server INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=Analysis_Server,RS_Server PIDKEY=OHNOYOUCANTSEETHISSORRY SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb
(Of course I used my real PID)
I then re-installed the SP2 patches. Everything seemed fine afterwards, until I tried to process a recent cube project in Visual studio. The DATEDIFF() function failed. So I found the problem (in this forum) that the VBAMDX assembly for my SSAS session was referencing an empty bin folder, and therefore could not process VBA functions in MDX.
Now I can fix this by editing the relevant XML file in the DATA folder and restarting my SSAS service but I am concerned about all the other stuff that could be referencing old folders.
Some of the settings e.g. DATA is still in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPData
but the bin programs are now in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.6OLAPData
It seems that I now have 3 new installation folders - MSSQL.5, MSSQL.6, MSSQL.7 as well as the usual .1,.2,.3 since upgrading my Edition.
Why did it make these? What else may be out of wack on the SQLServer services? How can I make sure everything is properly setup?
I guess the problem could be that there is another instance called OFFICESERVERS on the computer (a WIN2003 server) which was created by the SharePoint installation by someother guy..
adv(thanks)ance

I'm curious if there's a "best practice" for setting up the data directories MS SQL will use for each operation? I've allocated independent disks for things like C: (OS), E: (DATA), etc etc etc but I'm not familiar w/ MS SQL to understand how DBA's commonly configure the folders under each unique disk for things like DATA, LOGS, BACKUP, INDEXES, and TEMPDB. Should I have an identically name folder as show below in my example?
You can see I've just mirrored the drive name to a new folder under the partition so data is being written to: F:DATA and E:LOGS. Is this considered correct / good practice? I assume naming the folder in each mount point to whatever I logically called the drive is correct but if I should change how I configure my drive paths above. I'm trying to learn common good SQL Server practices and while I work on properly installing SQL Server 2012/2014, I want to make sure I configure my partition names SQL will utilize correctly.

SQL 2008
I have a table that has company id, attachment file name, folderexists columns.
First what I need to do is create a series of folder or directories on a networked server using the company id as the folder name where the folder name does not already exist.
Second I need to move files based on attachment file name and company id to the proper folder.
For those who want to know, this is a remediation project because of a bug in our application.
The application is supposed to created the folder based on company id and then put the attachment in that folder.

Hi,
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and I can't get Reporting Services to create the virtual directories in Default Web Site, instead it creates a new web site called Report Server with the virtual directories under that, this Report Server website points to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerInetPubwwwroot. Any ideas as to why this happens? My Default Web Site is called Default Website from the initial IIS install , I am on XP Pro SP 2 with IIS 5.1.
This is an issue for me since I don't want to have on another site that doesn't have the aspnet mapings.
I am dumbfounded and can't figure out what to do to make it not do that with the default configuration option checked during install. Should I uninstall and reinstall again and not use the default configuration?
Regards,
Chris

I would like to spend as much time as I can working on SQL projects but my daytime job doesn't exactly call for it. My end goal is to be MS SQL DBA certified and hands on skills will help me get there.
Is there a website where I could offer my time and skills to work on SQL projects - DB design, scripting, development, admin, etc - I would offer my time and sklls for cheap or free in exchange for the experience.
Thanks,

I have gone through the above and, while I can connect to the sql server and activate connections, I can not add a sql database to a project.
Open a project
Right click - add new item
Choose sql database
or
Add existing item
choose existing sql database
results in:
"Connections to SQL server files (*.mdf) require sql server express 2005 to function properly blah blah blah"
Like I said, I can connect to the DB through the server explorer and view table definitions and data. I just can't add one to a solution. I have reinstalled sqlexpress already and am trying to avoid having to reinstall visual studio.

I guess the Subject line sums it all up, but I need some experienced explanation of what do a solution and a project represent, and how do I use them to my advantage.
Is a solution an entire database? If so, how can I create a solution from my existing databases?
Are either of them a way to collect together scripts etc which will be run against a production database when the solution is rolled out?
What is a project? Is it a single set of scripts related to an upgrade to a database? If so, can it be executed as a single entity? How is the sequence of execution controlled?
And so on and so on....
2005 is such a step backwards for DBA's with all the features we used to have and now don't. If it wasn't for the fact that MS will eventually stop supporting 2000, I frankly see no incentive to upgrade myself.
Ok, OK, flame off.
Can anybody suggest some resources which might give me some insight into these questions?
Thanks,

I have recently switched to SQL 2005 and have been following this guide to create a new DTS project.
The only problem is the "Data Transformation Project" option does not show in my list of available 'templates'.
I double checked the install using the add/remove programs feature to update the installation -- all components under the business intelligence section are installed.
Here is the step by step of what I am doing:
1. Launch SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio.
2. File --> New Project
3. Under the Business Intelligence Projects I am looking for Data Transformation Project but do not see it listed.
Here is what I do have:
Analysis services project
Integration services project
report model project
import analysis services 9.0 database
report server project wizard
report server project
Anyone know what the problem is/where I can find DTS?
Thanks,

Hi,I wanted to know if Access Data Projects is a good option to choose fora SQL Server Database Frontend. The other option is C#.The database will be accessed by multiple users (around 100 users) on aLAN.

I'm trying to open an Reporting Services project in Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (which looks a lot like Visual Studio 2005). This project was copied from another computer where it runs normally. I get the following error when trying to open it...
Package Load Failure
Package 'DataWarehouse VSIntegration layer' has failed t load peoperly (guid = etc..). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible enfvironment corruption. Would you like to disable loadinug for this package in the future? you may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.
I also tried to create a new Reporting services project and I got the following error....
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version=9.0.242.0...blah blah.
Some of my research so far says the first message could be related to having ran a beta version of vs2005 on this system which I did. However the ordinary vs2005 asp.net project appear to run normally.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks,
Gary
