Problems Connecting And Setting Up Reporting Services
Mar 11, 2008
Hi
I initially installed VS 2008 with no problems. It installed SQL EXPRESS. I then installed SQL Developer edition. Still No problem with connecting or using the database. I picked up problems setting up Reporting services. I could not configure the server. I then decided to unistall SQL and re-install the developer edition. Now, I cannot even connect to the server.
I have a general question regarding setup. We have a small to medium size company and our reports will need to be accessed over the web/remotely. It seems to me that it would not be a good idea to have reporting services, the database, etc., all on the same server. Correct?
Is it more secure to have a web server running IIS installed with reporting services and then a separate box with the database? If so, is web server in the DMZ and the database server on the local domain or standalone? Also, does having the reporting services server separated in this way from the database create any access issues in terms of problems with performing certain types of reporting functions, etc? It seems like I read something about that a short time ago.
Would anyone care to comment on this setup issue/considerations?
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_date_only] (@date datetime) RETURNS datetime AS BEGIN RETURN dateadd(day, DateDiff(day, 0, GetDate()), 0) END

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[get_week_start] (@date datetime) RETURNS datetime AS BEGIN return dateadd(yyyy, datepart(yyyy, dateadd(weekday,1-datepart(weekday, @date),@date))-1900, 0) + dateadd(dy, datepart(dy, dateadd(weekday,1-datepart(weekday, @date),@date))-1,0) END

Then create a Table-Valued Function like so:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udfCommonDates] (@date datetime) RETURNS @t table (week_start datetime, week_end datetime, lastweek_start datetime, lastweek_end datetime, month_start datetime, month_end datetime, lastmonth_start datetime, lastmonth_end datetime, yesterday_start datetime, yesterday_end datetime, today_start datetime, today_end datetime, thisweek_monday_start datetime, thisweek_monday_end datetime, year_start datetime, year_end datetime, tomorrow_noon datetime, today_noon datetime, date_only datetime) BEGIN INSERT @t SELECT dbo.get_week_start ( @date ) AS week_start, dbo.get_week_end ( @date ) AS week_end, dbo.get_week_start ( DATEADD(d, -7, @date ) ) AS lastweek_start, dbo.get_week_end ( DATEADD(d, -7, @date ) ) AS lastweek_end, dbo.get_month_start( @date ) AS month_start, dbo.get_month_end ( @date ) AS month_end, dbo.get_month_start ( DATEADD(m,-1, @date) ) AS lastmonth_start, dbo.get_month_end ( DATEADD(m,-1,@date) ) AS lastmonth_end, dbo.get_yesterday_start ( @date ) AS yesterday_start, dbo.get_yesterday_end ( @date ) AS yesterday_end, dbo.get_today_start (@date) AS today_start, dbo.get_today_end ( @date ) AS today_end, dbo.get_weekday_start(1,@date) AS thisweek_monday_start, dbo.get_weekday_end(1,@date) AS thisweek_monday_end, dbo.get_year_start(@date) AS year_start, dbo.get_year_end(@date) AS year_end, dbo.get_tomorrow_noon(@date) AS TomorrowNoon, dbo.get_today_noon(@date) AS TodayNoon, dbo.get_date_only(@date) AS DateOnly RETURN END
Now the RS folks might be thinking but how does this help me as I need a dataset and a dataset can only be based on a Stored Procedure or a direct table. No problem create the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspCommonDates] AS begin set datefirst 1 declare @date datetime set @date = getdate() select * from dbo.udfCommonDates(@date) end
Now you've got a stored procedure to use as a dataset...Now in reporting services add a new dataset:
Now go to the report parameters section of the report:
Now pick that dataset dsFunctions (or whatever you called it) and then pick any of the value fields from the scalar functions such as:
Windows 7.We are preparing to introduce some of our folks to designing reports in SQL Server Reporting Service (SSrS). I want to do some preliminary testing on my laptop. I believe we should use Visual Studio (free version), the Business Intelligence tools for VS, and a local instance of SQL Server. I want to be able to install a sample database in the local instance of SQL Server and be able to look at the sample database's table structure.
To set up a local test environment, should I use VS, Business Intelligence tools for VS, and a local instance of SQL Server? Or is there some other set of tools I should use?What version of VS should I use (I saw VS Community 2015 RC is available)?Where might I get a robust sample database from which I can create SSrS Reports to test?What tool can I use to look at a local instance of SQL Server? These "express" versions don't seem to come with SQL Server Management Studio.
I have two textboxes. Based on the value in one textbox I want to show the value in other one or not. So
If Textbox1 has null value (from db) then Textbox2 shoululd be blank.
So I go to the properties of Textbox2 and write this code in the visibility tab for the expression radio button. Suppose Textbox2 holds Fields!NewValAmt.Value from db
=IIf(Fields!NewValAmt.Value is nothing , False, True).
But this code never sets the visibility to true even if there is non null value for that field.
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 ?
I am trying to connect to reporting services with the SQL client (SQL server management studio), I get an error message saying
The machine could not be found (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)
This is a new install of reporting services, I can connect to the reporting services reports site without a problem. I am working with the DBA, he can connect through the SQL client and on the sql/rs server side i have system admin. But i still cannot connect.
If you add me on to the system admin of the OS i can connect but i dont need that permissions. Ive tried just about everything. Any suggestions?
I need to deploy reports to a server in Spain, which I do not have direct access to. Is there any way that I can simply deploy the reports to a server here, that I have access to, and then copy the reports to the server in Spain??? Or is there any other way? I cannot expect the customers in Spain to be able to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 themselves to deploy reports (they do not even have access to the tool).

How do I set up reporting services on a clustered server? I have configured reporting services on both clusters, but somehow I cannot initialize both of them. Only on will be initialized at a time. Does anyone have experience with this?
Does anyone know the steps I need to take to update the version of reporting services from C.0.8.40 to C.0.8.43?
My connection error occurred during my attempt to move a database from one server to another using detach and attach. After successfully attaching the databases to the new server I got the following error:
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.43'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) (Report Services SOAP Proxy Source)
I have a SSRS report that uses a custom library. The custom library returns a string values, and I have tested this with a windows application.In the SSRS report. I have set the expression value for a text box as =CodeReportingLibrary.CodeReportingFunctions.GetImage(1232)
However, when i preview the report the text box value shows as #ERROR. I checked the error list and I get a warning message : Warning 1 [rsRuntime ErrorIn Expression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘Textbox5.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Attempt by security transparent method 'CodeReportingLibrary.CodeReportingFunctions.GetReferenceImage(Int32)' to access security critical method 'Microsoft.

I have updated the rssrvpolicy.config in ReportServer folder, to include my custom dll.
I have an SSRS report with parameters for Created On Start and Created On End. Users run this manually and choose the date range to display records for.
I would like to set up two different subscriptions
1) to send weekly on Monday morning for "last weeks" records and 2) to send monthly to send "last month's" records.
I have a report with a subscription enabled and the default values that are selected for the report frequently change. I have our report server locked down so that the users can't change the defaults, but I now want to empower them to maintain this on their own. Here is my dilemma. When you have the available parameters set up to pull from a query, the defaults on the report server have to be keyed in manually, which is not an option. The only way to get a check box there, is to explicitly specify the available values.I need my available values to be database driven and I need to be able to select my defaults on the report server using check boxes.
I am developing a J2ee application in which the the Java servlet communicate with the MS reporting services through URL Access. I am using Apache tomcat as application server to run Java servlets. Servlet gets report name, its parameters and forms an URL and send a request to SSRS. The problem is that the RS is not returning any cookie . And I get [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request].
Both my Reporting server and the Tomcat server are running in Same machine. Reporting Services and MS SQL Server 2008 R2 are configured for Windows Integrated authentication.To login to the Reporting server i am using my local system Administrator.
Hi, I'm new to SSRS but have a problem connecting to Oracle. I have placed my reports upon a reporting server but the shared data connection isn't working and I'm confused as to why. I have specified the name, connection type as "Oracle", set the correct user id and password for the credentials and the connection string as for example 'Data Source=oracleExample;Unicode="True"'. I also have set the correct entry in the tnsnames.ora file for this datasource, example: "oracleExample = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 12.23.45.23)(PORT = 3425)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = oracle) ) )" Unfortunately I receive the following error when trying to connect. "
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'oracleDataSource'.
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
"
I'm mystified as to what the issue is. Any ideas? Would restarting the report server pick up the tnsnames.ora file? I have this working locally using report designer. Any help, much appreciated.

Anybody have a clear idea why I might have problems connecting from reporting services to Oracle 9i database using the Microsoft ODBC driver? Getting following error "Cannot create a connection to data source 'oracleName'.

I have the data source correctly set-up thought. Is it a permissions problem?
I have a multi value parameter called "Location" and this depends on another multi valued parameter value. The default value for the parameter "Location" comes from the another another multi valued parameter. Now say when the default value is set for the parameter Location like the below:
The Location parameter data set has values from the Query and default values has been set as shown below:
I have installed sql server 2005 along with reporting services... though i am able to design report using business intelligence studio... i am unable to access the report server.... while trying to start the reporting services configuration manager it says no report server found on the specified machine...Invalid Namespace... the installation is local ...
Due to this problem inspite of designing the entire report i am unable to deploy it on the web..since it is asking for a report server...
I have a requirement where we have to connect to two different data-sources one is Database Table and another one is Excel Source. I know we can do this by creating a SSIS package and loading the excel data into database table and then based on some relationship between the tables we can create the data-set in SSRS. But I am looking for some other approach where I can do this without creating the SSIS package.
I am having serious problems with connecting to SQL Server via ASP.
I have created a User DSN, however when I am asked if I want to use Windows Authentication or SQL Server authentication, I feel I am having problems. If I choose SQLServer authentication, I am asked to enter a username and password which I do (does this need to be a predefined username and password?). I do this and the connection fails with an error saying that the login is not associated with SQLServer. If I choose windows authentication its fine, but when I try to connect via asp using the username and password I login to get into the machine and the DSN name I set up during the DSN setup, the same error comes up. (for windows authentication does the asp code differ from SQL Server authentication?). I really need help here
Hello everyone, I am fairly new to SQL Server Express and I have a question I was hoping someone could help with. I know this will sound very wacky but please entertain the possibility of such scenario taking place...
Is it possible to connect to an instance of an SQL Server Express 2005, using asp, without having a database created and without configuring anything such as permits or users first ?
The SQL Server Express was installed on a PC that runs a web server as well but nothing else was done, I only have the instance name and I know the SQL Server is configured for local access only.
I was hoping to create a database and begin using it with an asp file that runs SQL commands I can input on a text window, but I can't find connection strings that work without specifying a database name, and also I don't know which user and password to use because it is set to windows authentication.
I thought the code would go something like this:
Set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=SQLinstance;Address=localhost,port;Database=;Uid=;Pwd="
To top things out the web server is configured to send out a generic error message, so I can't see what the error I'm getting actually is...
I have deployed a web server using server 2003 standard edition and have created a functional web site... Now I want to create a SQL data base and make a DB connection using ASP.NET using Dreamweaver as my HTML editor... This is where I get totally lost and confused...I have SQL 2005 instralled on my web server and have gone through the help files and some of the tutes but am still spinning my wheels... Can anyone please help this wanna be MSDN...
I need help configuring my sql server and then connecting to it via dreamweaver and then creating a data base for data collection from my web site...

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'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 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
Hi, I am using SQL 2005 and I have just installed Report services.
I set this up once before and when I finished I could navigate to a URL that took me to a screen that showed the different Folders where I had stored different types of reports. From this screen I could also manage the access of users to which reports they could access. Almost like a report management interface I guess you could say.
Now, with this install, when I navigate to http://localhost/reportserver I only get a screen as follows.
localhost/ReportServer - /

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.1399.00
I have configured reporting services to be connected from client with the help of http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365170.aspx KB article and I can connect locally in the server without any error. I've configured report service correctly since I can execute http://servername/reportserver or http://servername/reports . When I try to connect report service from my client Im getting the below error, can anyone help me to correct this.
Machine could not be found(Microsoft.sqlserver.management.UI.rsclient)
This is urgent since our developers are unable to connect from client
On Win2000 server running SQL 2000 Enterprise edition, should the advanced setting on performance options for Win2000 be set for running background services or applications?
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on my Laptop for use with IIS 7.0; Everything was working fine untill I opened the Report Server Site with WVD 2008, it asked me to Modify the web.config for debugging. After doing that the Report Server Site started showing an error page saying there was a rsInternal error. I tried fixing the Web.config by hand but it dident work, so I tried completly reinstalling the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. It reinstalled perfectly excluding the Report Server. When it came time to install the Report Server; I got the error message.
The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting reporting service and share point exclusion path. The error is: Fatal error during installation.
