Override Default Button In Properties-&&>Parameters Section
Feb 28, 2007
I wrote a report in Visual Studio with some parameters that I gave default values to in the report definition. I deployed it out to the report server and when I look at the report Properties, Parameters section to see the default values. Instead of seeing all of the default values, I see a bunch of "Override Default" buttons. When you click the buttons, you get a blank text box in which to enter a new value.
Someone before me created a report with default values and the parameters section of that report has text boxes with the default values in them.
Does anyone know how to have the default values show up rather than those "Override Default" buttons?
I have a requirement of logging the failure and the error of a job executing a SSIS package to text file. However, when I go to job step -> Advanced, in the section "SQL Server Integration Services Package" where that info to setup logging is, it is blank and just says:
"There are no options for this command type"
Any ideas?
I thought that this might not be supported in Standard Edition as I am running standard edition. Then I checked on two other servers, where I have Enterprise edition with SP2. On one of the installations, I am able to give the log file, the other one still shows,
"There are no options for this command type"
What is the problem? Both of them I am using the sysadmin role account. I have proxy account created on both the SQL instances. I don't think this is the problem, but still I checked this.
I had reports using the HTML Viewer working in RS 2000. The servers were both O/S Windows 2000, SQL Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Reporting Services 2000) The default toolbar and parameters area were formatted and looked fine.
We just migrated to new servers with Windows 2003 Server, SQL Server 2005, IIS 6.0, Reporting Services 2005. I have the reports working fine...except the toolbar and parameters areas look as if there is no formatting at all...as if the style sheet isn't being applied (not even the default one --see below).
Although I don't think this is necessary....I tried the following to resolve the issue....
Is it possible to establish a set of default report and report body properties, perhaps in an ini file of some sort so that upon creating a new project and adding a new report item the developer does not have to go through the process of setting up all the interactive sizes, margins, paper sizes, etc each and every time? We have an established header that we incorporate on all reports and while in transition to the new Reporting Services it was my hope of finding something will create the first set of default conditions to help us automate the process just a bit.
Is there any option in SSAS cube to hide the member properties from the user by default in the cube itself. We know we have a option in the excel pivot 'Show properties in tooltips check box where we can hide or display the member properties. But I need an option in the cube to hide the member properties by default and display in the excel depends on demand.
Hi, this is my first post here. I hope to be helpful trying to help and not only asking questions arround here. After I have my report ready I will share here the total experience from top to bottom!But for now, here's the issue:
I'm building a RDLC Repor on my ASP.Net VB web application. I added the .rdlc file to the application and created a table to show lines of data binded from a dataset. The thing is:
- The DataSet expects a parameter @intNumber, a identifier to get the correct data to display the correct report.
- I'm using ReportViewer to view the report, and by code I've passed a Report Parameter to the *.RDLC report with success, just like this:
Dim parms(0) As ReportParameter parms(0) = New ReportParameter("intNumber", 37) ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(parms)
The present issue is the following: I want to use that parameter sent to the report to be sent to the query of the DataSet as parameter to the query to return the data to fill the report. I've heard that this is not possible, just with report server...
Another issue is the print button, also heard that only can appear on report server...no way to display and work on RDLC reports?Very confused right now...these issues are stupid, MS tools should allow these operations, which are not efficient if this is not possibla on RDLC...
I want to know is any way or any possible way could pass the report parameter on this kind of porperties or this code? For some requirement, I just can use Jump to URL, but hope can pass the parameters on "jump to url" properties.
How can I take this example Flat file and parse out each section to a new flat file? Each section starts with HD (header row)
http://www.webfound.net/flat_file_example.txt
e.g. an example output file based on above (cutting out the first section) would be:
http://www.webfound.net/flatfile_output.txt
Also, I'll need to grab a certain value in each header row (certain position in the 100 byte header row) to use that as part of the filename that's outputed. I assume it would be better to insert these rows into a temp table then somehow do a search on a specific position in the row...but that's impossible? The other route is to insert each row into a temp table separated out by fields but that is going to be too combursome because we have several formats to determine separation of fields based on the row type so I'd have to create many temp tables and many components in SSIS when all we want to do is again:
1) output each group (broken by each header row) into it's own txt file
2) use a field in the header row as part of the name of the output txt file (e.g. look at the first row, whcih is a header row in flat_file_example. txt. I want to grab the text 'AR10' and use that as part of the filename that I create
Any suggestions on how to approach this whole process in SSIS...the simplest approach that will work ?
I know I can find out what parameters does a stored procedure have via either sp_help or INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS, I can get the types, the lengths or precisions ... what I do not seem to be able to get is which of those parameters are required and which ones have a default value. I mean:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Foo ( @Required Int, @Optional Int = 0 ) AS ...
Is there any way to get this information (preferably together with the default value) short of parsing the output of sp_helptext?
I have a requirement like I need to have default values for all my parameters in my report. But Report should not run on the initial load. Is that possible?
I have a requirement like I need to have default values for all my parameters in my report. But Report should not run until i click the view report button.Currently It will load the data automatically on initial load when all the parameters are provided. Is that possible to restrict load of report data?
In my report, I have set the default parameters such that it is supposed to automatically render when the page loads. I have set the defaults in Report / Report Parameters and it even works in the preview pane, however, when I deploy the report, the defaults are not set.
This report has subreports, and I've tried setting their defaults. Has anyone come across this?
Hi all, I have a MDX query that has been put together from a Analysis Services Cube in Reporting Services, as below: SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[MM Document Count], [Measures].[FI Document Total], [Measures].[MM Document Total], [Measures].[FI Document Count] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].[Company Code].ALLMEMBERS * [Lookup Financial Period].[Financial Year].[Financial Year].ALLMEMBERS * [Lookup Financial Period].[Financial Period].[Financial Period].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LookupCompanyCodeCompanyCode, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [SAP Document Analysis Doc Totals MM FI]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGSIt has a parameters @LookupCompanyCodeCompanyCode, which creates the following dataset query: WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL' SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [SAP Document Analysis Doc Totals MM FI] Within the Report Parameters it is set with as being a Multi value parameter and default value for return all records: [Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].[All] This work fine when previewing report & when I build. Problem is when I drop a report viewer control in VWD 2005 and attach this report, it does not run with the default values when the page loads. Does anyone have a idea what I might be doing wrong? or/and how would i pass a value from a listbox extbox to the parameter and then run the report? Thanks in advance Kevin
When I call a proc with one input parameter and two output parameters, (all the three parameters having defaults in the proc), I was expecting to see these values defaulted to in the proc. But apparently, this not the case. Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong here? Appreciate your time.
USE Pubs GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MyTestProc (@InputParamVARCHAR(30) = 'Input', @OutPutParam1VARCHAR(30) = 'OutputParam1' OUTPUT, @OutPutParam2VARCHAR(30) = 'OuputParam2' OUTPUT) AS BEGIN SELECT @InputParam, @OutPutParam1, @OutPutParam2 END GO
I have 9 parameters which all have defaul values and 1 that does not, 4 of them show the correct default but 5 of them state <Select a Value>.
I have copied the report project to another pc and the same problem occurs.
I have tried deleting 'reports' and 'reportserver' from iis and recreating them, as well as deleting the actual report from http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx [then selecting 'show details' and deleting and redeploying the report].
I have even tried toggling the default values on/off. I am at a loss, I can only think that the report project file(s) need to be manually amended in some way. There is nothing significantly different between the parameters to justify them not defaulting
Hello, does anyone know how to determine (within the stored procedure)whether a parameter has been passed explicitly to a stored procedure asopposed to a parameter that has taken on the default value.Many thanksPhil
My report has default values for all parameters (ofcourse. which can be modified by user). When I try to view the preview, the report is running with the default values automatically. I want the report to run only when we click "View Report".
Hi,I am trying to call a user defined function(UDF) from a stored proc,using a default parameter in the called UDF (e.g. @bid_price_type int= 0 ). However the calling stored proc complains that the UDF isexpecting a 2nd parameter when I only provide the @test parametervalue. Are default parameter values supported in UDF's?I wld really appreciate anybody's help. Thankyou in advance.UDF code:CREATE FUNCTION get_bid_price (@test int, @bid_price_type int = 0)RETURNS decimal(18, 4) ASBEGINdeclare @x decimal(18, 4)if (@bid_price_type = 0)beginselect @x = fieldNamefromtableNameendelsebeginselect @x = fieldName2fromtableName2endreturn @xEND' Calling Stored Proc codeCREATE PROCEDURE testASdeclare @x decimal(18, 4)set @x = dbo.get_bid_price(1)select @xGOthanks,Vic Y
I have 5 cascading parameters. They all have default values. I would like the default value of each of these to be selected when the report opens.
It currently works correctly when I preview the report, however when I deploy the report to the server it does not. In the deployed report, the default value of the first parameter is not selected. However, when I select a value for this one, on postback the rest of these parameters get set to their default value. They're all configured the same. I'm confused as to why the first one doesn't default to its default value while the others do.
Got any ideas?
Here's how I have it configured:
Allow null value CHECKED
Allow blank value CHECKED
The rest are unchecked.
Available values: From query
Default Values: Non-queried with a value supplied that exists in the dataset.
I think it has been discussed previously that having default parameter values based on expressions, e.g. a default parameter value of =Split("Bug",",") in multiple parameters will cause a postbacl whenever a user selects different values from the list.
Is this by design? Its a bit of an annoying thing. The refreshpostback doesnt happen if you have basic defaults like ="All" but only when an expression of some sort is used in more than 1 parameter. Does RS think they are linked or something, why does it need to psotback efresh?
This is regarding Report Services 2005 designing the report in Visual Studio.
Currently I am using a query to populate 2 date selectors in the parameter section at the top of a report. The start and end dates are determined by a query which returns the values based on yet another parameter. If I change the value of the paramter which is supposed to be used by the date selectors they don't seem to feel the need to re-calc themselves. I have 3 other dependent param's in the same report which behave reasonably.
Has anyone seen this before or is there way to somehow force a parameter re-caluclation?
I wanted to create a report with parameters. The users will access the reports via http://localhost/Reportserver/myReportName
Now, each user will have their own default parameters and would like to be stored(somewhere!!!) as "user preference", so nexttime when they access this report it should display data with the "user preference" parameters.
Can someone give me some advise to implement this.
In general, what is the most appropriate way to specify a "data driven" default for a report parameter. Seems to me like options are:
1. construct an expression which operates on one of the existing report datasets (possibly the same data set used to populate the defaults dropdown)
2. construct a new dataset which returns a single value which is the desired default
what's the "normal" approach?
For example, I have an MDX dataset which contains the list of dates for which data is available. There is generally some data available for today, but normally the user is interested in the most recent day with data prior to today.
So which would be the better option out of the two above (or a third option if I'm missing something!) to tell my parameter to set itself to:
"The most recent day prior to today for which data exists".
I'm generating a list of parameters needed by stored procedures, and I'd like to know which ones have default values assigned to them. To retrieve the parameter information I use:
sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser''
However, the column that is supposed to give the default value, 'COLUMN_DEF' always returns as NULL, even when that column has a default value assigned to it. i.e. CREATE PROCEDURE InsertUser@UserID INT = 10,.....
And then if I do a sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser'', the COLUMN_DEF value for the @UserID column is still NULL.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and how I can retrieve the default value?
I have created a report, and am setting default values for the parameters. Once the default parameters is set, the report automatically generates. Is there a way to make it not automatically generate the report? We are setting the parameters with values that will get the end user the most recent data, but alot of times, they will want to pull older data as well. We don't want them to have to wait for the report to automatically generate before they can change the parameter values
I'm trying to have a default or null value in the dropdown list of the parameters on SSRS report. The dataset is bound with the Dynamics-AX 2009 AOT query. In the screen shot below you can see that I need a show All option in the dropdown list.
HI, I am trying to set the following default parameter : datepart("m",now()). The parameter is an integer
If I do this through visual studio 2005 it works just fine. However I need to change this for a linked report and when I do the same thing in the viewer (using the "Overide Default" key) I get the following error "The parameter Month contains a value that is not valid. This parameter takes an integer as a value" Can anyone suggest a way to get arround this ?
Can someone please explain how i would define a multi-valued default parameter within the report Properties -> Parameters. I have an OLAP based report with multi-value parameters. I do not want to set the default values from within BIDS. Instead, I'd like to do this from the ReportServer (after report deployment). I have no problem when i enter a single value as a 'default value', for example: ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[AAM] But, how would i define it with multiple values as a 'default value' ?, for example: ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[ABC] , [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[DEF] NOTE: It appears that you cannot use expressions, such as the 'split' function in the 'default value' space. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
I have a SSRS report using 2008 R2. It prompts the user for the start and end dates. This all works. But now I want the start date parm to default to the first day of the current month and the end date parm to default to the last day of the current month.In the new query window in SQL Server Management Studio, I can run this chunk of code to get the first day of current month:
I've been running into this issue quite a few times, and have been unable to solve it through reading various posts/forums. Here is the issue
Software Details: Datawarehouse Database - SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services Version - SSRS 2008 R2 Development Environment - Visual Studio 2008 Problem Details:
I have been writing reports based of a Relational Datamart with dimensions and facts. The report in question uses dimensions for parameters and facts for content. Multi valued parameters are enabled in the report query by using the 'IN(@Paramenter)' statement within the report query. It has a total of 6 multi-value parameters. I assign the same available values from dimension datasets for each parameter to it's default parameter. Theoretically all the values in the option lists should be selected after first render. This is not always the case.
Example: SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable WHERE TableColumn0 IN (@Parameter0) AND TableColumn1 IN(@Parameter1) AND ....N (continue syntax to 6 multi valued parameters)
Some of the multi-value drop down lists are defaulting to have every value selected, and some are not. The problem is I need to know why some parameters are not selecting all by default when specified.
