Display A Webpage In Report
Jan 28, 2008I would like to display an asp page in a Reporting Services report. However, I do not want to have to click a button and navigate to it. I just want to display it sort of like a subreport. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDouble Click On The View Report Button To Get The Report To Render.
Jul 26, 2007I've got a SQL Reporting Server 2000 SP2 report that takes 3 parameters. FromDT, ToDT, and LocationCD. The first two parameters are free form text fields that expect a date. The last one is a drop down box. For some reason, when I'm viewing the report through the standard reports folder on the report server I have to click the "View Report" button two times to get the report to render. Clicking it just once, doesn't seem to do anything. The report is a line graph.
There are default values in the FromDT and ToDT parameter fields.
Anyone have any ideas what would be causing the need for the second click?
Report Manager IE Cannot Display Webpage
May 8, 2007Hi,
I've installed SQL Server Express Edition and Reporting Services on my
PC running Windows XP Pro SP2. When I point the browser to localhost
eports I get a "Internet Explorer cannot display web page" page.
At home I've been following the excellent video series on the msdn
website for SQL Server Express everything worked okay at home, this is
on my work PC.
I've checked reporting services service is running and that the
reports virtual directory is in my IIS configuration.
At work I had been following a Ms Visual Web Developer tutorial, I'm
still able to view this site, so my web server is running.
I've also uninstalled SQL Server incl reports and tools and
reinstalled but still have problem.
I did notice that the report and reportserver virtual directories
security is set integrated windows autentication (as is my working
system at home) if I change to anonymous access the page loads but
only the 'SQL Server Reporting Services' title in the top left. No
menu options appear below?
I was beginning to think it's something to do with my securiy setup
because of this so I compared the security groups generated by reporting services
with my home pc and my work pc both exactly the same:
SQLServer2005ReportingServicesWebServiceUser$mypc$SQLEXPRESS
user: ASP NET
SQLServer2005ReportServerUser$mypc$SQLEXPRESS
user:NT AuthorityNetwork Service
I've also checked the problems listed on:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345220.aspx
but I still have same problem?
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

Table Columns Expand Horizontally When Viewing Report Through Report Server
Jan 10, 2008I have an interesting problem to report that I'm hoping someone will be able to assist in solving.
I have a report that contains a table inside of a list. When I view this report on my local machine via Visual Studio, everything appears normal, the columns are all the correct size. However, as soon as I publish this report to the report server and attempt to view it via Report Manager, one of the columns expands horizontally!
From all of the documentation I have read, I understand that Reporting Services does not provide the ability for columns to expand horizontally, only vertically. Can anyone help explain why this is happening or a possible solution to turn this automatic expanding off?
Many thanks,

Direct Export After Clicking Generate Report
Feb 14, 2008Hi,
We have few reports which users want to export rather than see them on the web. Is there any way to directly export the report (in a specified format say .CSV) when user clicks on generate report. This way they don't have to wait till report is rendered on the web page and then export it.
Report Server Direct Connect From ASP.NET Application
May 9, 2007OK, I am not a programmer, but administrate the Report Server and its security. The .NET programmers want to connect direct to Report Server using WEB.CONFIG settings (see below).
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="Server=bpatlqddwatlqddw01;Database=MP2_NET_STAGE;Integrated Security=False;User ID=MP2_Net;Password=xxxxx;Persist Security Info=false"/>
<add key="LogPath" value="\bpga030wde01wwwroot$MP2_NetLogs"/>
<add key="Url" value="http://bpga030wde01/MP2_Net/" />
What do I need to do to ensure their dynamic reports can run against my Report Server? What kind of rights do I assign the "MP2_Net" (above) login? All of this is outside the IIS-Report Server security environment? Do I assign rights via SQL Mgr? I cannot find any doco on this process.

Importing Report Content Direct To SQL Server For Testing Purposes
Jan 8, 2007Hi
I have what seems a simple requirement. We want to import the contents of a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report into a SQL Server 2005 database, in order to perform some checks on reports displayed to users. Is there an easy way to achieve this? XML would seem appropriate, but I can't find a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this. Any pointers/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Render Report Straight To Pdf

Report Render To PDF Hangs
Mar 12, 2007I've got a complex report with many subreports that is running on a reporting services 2005 machine with sp2 installed. The report was working well, producing a 2800 page report in under 10 minutes. I made a change to an expression in a table's column header and one change to the detail and the report stopped working. It would just hang for hours with no messages in the logs.
I tried to simplify what the report server had to do by removing the sum's to the database side's stored proc but that didn't work. I finally managed to get the report to work by removing a totals section to a subreport. I've also had the same hanging condition occur when I merged some columns in the table. I also found a workaround for this problem.
Is anyone else finding problems like this? They don't seem to be code related.
Is there a limit to how complex a report can be in reporting services or the PDF rendering part of the process?
Thanks for any info
Parameters Ignored, Render Report From VB .Net Application
Feb 21, 2007I seem to be unable to pass parameters from a VB .Net application to Reporting Services.
Before I added the parameters to the query, I got all the rows back. So I know the application is basically working. Now that I have added the parameters, I get nothing.
I thought the SetExecutionParameters function would help, but my syntax is wrong and it fails.
I would appreciate any hint as to what step I am missing.
Report setup:
Parameters
Name Value
@Report =Parameters!Report.Value
@Corp =Parameters!Corp.Value
@Dept =Parameters!Dept.Value
Query conditions
WHERE Report = 'BudgetVarianceSummary'
AND PeriodEnd = CONVERT(DateTime,CONVERT(char,GETDATE()- DATEPART(day,GETDATE()),112))
AND Report = @Report
AND Corp = @Corp
AND Dept = @Dept
VB Code snippet:
Dim reportPath As String = "/FinancialReports/BudgetVarianceSummary"
Dim format As String = "PDF"
' Prepare report parameter.
Dim parameters(3) As ParameterValue
parameters(0) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(0).Name = "Report"
parameters(0).Value = "BudgetVarianceSummary"
parameters(1) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(1).Name = "Corp"
parameters(1).Value = "10"
parameters(2) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(2).Name = "Dept"
parameters(2).Value = "7255"
Dim execInfo As New ExecutionInfo
Dim execHeader As New ExecutionHeader()
Dim SessionId As String
Dim extension As String = ""
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = execHeader
execInfo = rs.LoadReport(reportPath, historyID)
'This line of code fails
'rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us")
result = rs.Render(format, devInfo, extension, encoding, mimeType, warnings, streamIDs)
Render A Report From The Command Line (RS.exe)
Feb 4, 2007I am trying to redo an app that I built to gen reoprts from the command line in a specified format using RS 2000 to use RS 2005. However, I am having a problem using rs.exe to render a report. It looks like the rs.Render method no longer exists. It also looks like you can no longer get to these methods from the rs.exe environment.
Is it still possible to render reports using rs.exe? If so, can somebody please provide an example?
Thank you in advance.
How To Render The PDF Report In SQL Server 2005
Aug 21, 2007We have written a C# program in which we want to execute a SQL Report and return the report as a PDF
When we execute our code we get a message that System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The item '/production/Sudhir' cannot be found. --->
What Is syntax for ReportExecutionService.render(string report)
How do we define the string report?
ReportService.ReportingService rs = new ReportService.ReportingService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
Byte[] result;
string encoding;
string mimetype;
//ParameterCollection[] parametersUsed = null;
ParameterValue[] parametersUsed = null;

Report Taking Forever To Render
Jan 15, 2008
Hi All,
I have 2 reports that report on baiscally the same thing, just group differently.
Report 1 groups summary phone call stats by Department, Day, and Hour - which are all drop down options.
This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see daily stats ... the daily stats can then be expanded to see the hourly stats.
Kinda Like:
-------------------------
-Department 1
-10/1/2007
12:00 AM
1:00 AM
+10/2/2007
+Department 2
-------------------------
Report 2 shows the same summary stats by department and extension - which is also a drop down option.
This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see summary stats for each extension.
Kinda Like:
-------------------------
-Department 1
Ext 2005
Ext 2008
+Department 2
-------------------------
The queries for these reports run from the Management Studio in about 10 seconds each with the Report 1 query returning about 800 rows for the month of October 2007 and the Report 2 query returning about 30 rows for the same date range.
When the reports are rendered, Report 1 (with 800 rows) is rendered in about 20 seconds, while Report 2 (with only 30 rows) takes about 5 minutes to render.
The reports themselves are very similar, with the only difference being the grouping. It is weird that the report that returns the samller Dataset is actually taking longer to render.
One thing I did try was running the queries from the Data tab of the .rdl files (in visual studio) and the query for Report 2 took about 4 minutes to return data, while (as I mentioned above) it ran in about 10 seconds in Management Studio.
Has anyone else run into this?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Is There A Way To Display The Time It Took A Report To Render?
Oct 16, 2007
I know I can display the time that the report was generated, but can I display how LONG it took for the report to complete?
From when the first query was executed to the time all the data was returned and/or the time it took for the report to be rendered back to the end user?
Thanks!
What Is The Best Format To Render A Report Into To Then Edit
Mar 5, 2007Hi,
I am trying to export a report into a format whiich I will then allow the user to make some final editions to prior to printing. Apparently LocalReport>Render does not support word format, however is supports others, what is the best format for me to export a report out into in order to then allow the user to edit it prior to printing, Ideally I would have just liked to lauch ms word and allow the user to edit the report if disired prior ro printing, but if I first export to .mhtml it seems to mess the column widths of the report up when opened in word..
Thanks,
Report Viewer Render Error
May 15, 2008Hi,
We have a solution where we from a Windows application (using the report viewer control SP1) display some reports. Some of the reports uses a custom report item to display some graphics. This works fine on a lot of different installations, but now (for some reason) we have a problem at one customer.
We get strange GDI and transport errors when rendering these reports:
"Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed."
or
"Remote GDI stream version: 10.0.1. Expected version 10.0.1. Offset and length were out of bounds for the array or count is greater than the number of elements from the index to the end of the source collection."
These report work fine when you run them in the browser, but they never work in the report viewer control...
Please provide some help.
Kind Regards

Create A Dataset With .Net Code And Render Report From It. Possible?
Sep 20, 2007
Hi
I wonder if it is possible to create a dataset in code and then feed it to a Reporting Svcs (RS) report and have it rendered on the data from this dataset.
My collegues does this with Crystal and it would break my heart if I cant do this with (RS)...
I have tried to find a solution but so far, no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?

URL Link In Subscription Email Does Not Render Report
Apr 25, 2008I have set up a test subscription that sends an email that includes both the report and the url link to the report. However, the report does not render when user clicks on url link in subscription email. The parameter toolbar sorta appears at top of page but buttons are not showing correcty. I saw similiar issue posted in another forum but no one had resolved yet. We all noticed that the subscription email uses /reportserver folder instead of /Reports folder.
The report does appear fine in the email so I believe the problem is the URL.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve?
Thanks,
Tammy
The URL from Report Manager is
http://dss0vw037.svr.us.jpmchase.net/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fIOC+Metrics%2fDCS+Emergency+Contact+List
The URL in subscription email

Render RS Report To Excel And Changes Sheet Names
Jun 1, 2006I am wondering if anyone knows how to change the sheet names in Excel when exporting a report from Reporting Services 2005. In other words, I have a report with approximately 5 page breaks built in. When I render the report to Excel, it creates the 5 sheets as I expect, but it names them "Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3" etc... Is there a way to specify the name of the sheets? I am currently using a different table in my report for each sheet, but I am open to structuring this differently if needed.

Viewing Report From Report Manager
Jan 22, 2008Hi,
I made a SSRS report in .Net IDE and then deployed it on to the SSRS report server. The deployment went through and I could see the report on the Report Manager page. But now the issue is that when I click on the report name in the Report Manager the report tries to render itself but can't do it and throws up the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'.
The feature: "The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
I had built this datasource in the .Net IDE and is not visible on the Report Manager data source page.
Any ideas how to resolve this??
My versions: OS: Windows XP SP2;; SQL Server 2005 Exp Adv (with reporting services support). This is all being worked out on the same machine.
Thanks.
Report Viewing Error
Apr 9, 2008Hi,
I have deployed the Reports created in the dev server to another server say ABCD. I am able to view the Report manager of ABCD from the dev server and also the projects under it. Also I can see the list of reports in it. But when I am trying to view any report it gives me an error saying "Your Browser does not support scripts or has been configured not to allow scripts". Has any one of you come across similar kind of problem? Has this anything to do with the browser settings or with the report server settings?
Thanks in advance
Report Viewing And Vista
Jul 11, 2007Hi
I am facing a strange problem while viewing a Windows Report in Windows Vista.
I have a machine which has Vista installed as the Operating system. I have two user id created to log into the system.
(Assumed user A and User B). Both the users have the same login credentials. However, the default user of the system is
User B.
I have a windows application, which uses Winreports for viewing the reports. I am creating the entire rdlc on - the - fly based on
the parameters specified from the User Interface. If I log into the system using user A and try to view the reports, the report is
perfectly generated and is being viewed properly without any error. However, if I log into the system using User B (the
default user of the system) and then try to view the same report (with all the parameters same) I am getting an Unauthorised
Access Violation error.
Please help with some of our valuable suggestions.
FYI: This happens only on PC having Windows Vista as the Operating System
Thanking you in advance,
Kind Regards,

Include Report Link In Subscription Does Not Render The Correct URL
Jun 29, 2006Hi,
I am sure there is a thread about that one but I cannot find it.
I have a server which does not include the correct link with the subsciptions.
I create a subscription and ask to include the link to the reporet, I get the report with the machine name instead of the DNS name.
i.e. i get
The report is accessible at the following address:
http://atlanta/reportserver/...
instead of http://reporting.onsemi.com/reports/....
I tried to edit rswebapplication.config like that
<ReportServerUrl>reporting.onsemi.com</ReportServerUrl>
and rsreportserver.config like that
<DefaultHostName>onsemi.com</DefaultHostName>
but still cannot get the correct URL in the subscription.
Any idea?
Thanks,

Report Render In VS2005 Slower Than Stored Proc
Aug 10, 2007I have searched many forums and found some cases of people also reporting slower rendering in RS than in Management Studio / Query Analyzer. However, none of the other solution suggestions seem to make a difference for me.
I'm a VS/VB developer and have got multiple reports built -- all using stored procedures on the backend -- that all take many times longer to run than if executed via Management Studio (SSMS). My simplest proc takes a couple of parameters (no defaults included) and does a simple select against one table with a few joins. Nothing complicated. It runs in 8 secs for 6867 rows via SSMS. Through RS (running locally through Visual Studio 2005 at this point) it takes around 25-28 secs. Yet, when I'm in the report on the DATA tab (not the PREVIEW tab) the run takes the expected 8 secs ?!?!
All reports are behaving this way.
I am not using cursors.
I have no default values on parameters.
I have added the "WITH RECOMPILE" to the proc statement.
I have "SET NOCOUNT ON" as the first line of the proc.
I hate to say this, but I even connected the proc to Crystal Reports to see how it behaved. It ran in the expected 8 secs.
I've seen some mention by someone that perhaps this is a known issue of RS that it reads the proc twice. Any truth to this?
Also a couple posts have traced and demonstrated that the report is generating significantly more data "reads" via RS than through SSMS.
We're a shop that is considering a switch from Crystal to RS, but we do everything through stored procedures. I need to clear up this issue before I can go forward recommending a switch. I'm including a copy of a typical proc below for review... What am I missing? What's the deal here with RS?

How To Use The Render Method To Save A Report Directly To Disk ?
May 2, 2007Hi there,
Is there a way to programmatically save a RS results into Excel format using the render method ?
I had read about that capability but I can't seem to find any sample code on how to do it. Is this a parameter that you have to set in the render method ?
Any suggestion or tips are much appreciated !
Thanks !
Viewing Report Manager From Another Machine
Dec 1, 2007Hi,
I have installed RS 2005 in my machine. If some one else wants to view reportmanger in my machine, does he have to install ssrs 2005 in his machine too?
I can acces my report manager from my machine by just typing http:\localhost
eports or http:\mymachine
eports
The other persone also wants to access my report manager by just typing http:\mymachine
eports.
Also if there are more than one client machines , do they need to have RS 2005 in each machine.
Thanks
