I would like to set up a prompt / filter as part of the model that carries through to the report builder. I have a query where I would like to force a prompt on the user as part of any report they create. Ideally, I would like to have it default as well.
I noticed that there is a prompt attribute in model designer. When I go to add the filter attribute in model designer, I get the same dialog box I get in the report builder - except it does not have the prompt as an option. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Does anyone know how to disable the auto click through functionality in Model Designer?
Does anyone know how to prevent the "drill throught url on the cell value" to export to excel when exporting a Report Builder report with drill through enabled?
Any help on these topics would be greatly appreciated.
This question is for Bill directly. Hi Bill, I have lots of experience with RS, implementing the beta in a production environment, I was so impressed. Currently my company uses Cognos for financial reporting, and I am hoping to replace this with RS and MSAS. I have little knowledge of MDX, so I have been using your various series of articles to get up to speed. However, I don't get the article Mastering OLAP Reporting: Cascading Prompts. I fully understand how to build the prompts, but there seems to be a step missing in the article. You never replace the hardcoded where clause in the base dataset, and I can't seem to work out how to pass the parameter from the cascading prompts to the report. Maybe I'm being stupid, but the article doesn't seem to tell us how to do that.
I have a request to hide certain parameters in a report based on the current user logged into our web based report viewer using the ReportViewer control fo asp.net.
I am doing the standard stuff required to display the report as shown below.
Code Snippet rptViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("http://172.17.144.26/ReportServer"); // new Uri(MINETSecurity.WebSettings.WebServerPath, UriKind.Absolute); rptViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath = ReportName; rptViewer.ServerReport.DisplayName = "Report1"; rptViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = new CustomReportCredentials("myUsername", "myPassword", "myDomain");
Now that i have loaded the report into the viewer i illiterate through the report parameters looking for the ones which the specified user should not see as show below.
Code Snippet ReportParameterInfoCollection MyReportParams = rptViewer.ServerReport.GetParameters(); foreach (ReportParameterInfo MyParameter in MyReportParams) { // returns a value from a custom class which is a predefined value for this user based on the current user logged into the website string Value = CustomParameterValues.ToString(GlobalUserSettings.CurrentUser.CustomValueList); if(Value != "") MyParameter.PromptUser = false; }
Here is where the promblem lies, when i try to set the value of PromptUser i get the following compiler error.
Property or indexer 'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameterInfo.PromptUser' cannot be assigned to -- its is read only
Is there anything i can do to set certain parameters invisible to the user and set there value myself. I know i could create 2 seperate reports and set the PromptUser value in the designer but i dont really want to be duplicating reports just to hide or show parameters.
I have tried using the SetParameters method of the ReportViewer component to pass the value of the parameters that should be hidden and even set the visible property to false, but it dosn't seem to work.
We want to have one prompt (parameter) to set a point in time, so we can use this parameter as filter in other elements. e.g. We have a point in time prompt, that we can set and use to filter by examples illness records and availability record (by the same (one) prompt)
Suppose I have two prompts, say A and B. These two prompts are populated by using database queries. B is dependent on A. These prompts are multiselect.
I have noticed that it is not possible to deselect them once a value(s) are selected. If I deselect all in A. They automatically get selected again.
They work fine as long as some value selected. It is possible however to deselect all in B.
I am running a report which takes a long time to render. It has 500K rows in it that need to be summed and grouped. After 5 minutes IE prompts for a password. I set the report time out to 15 min just to see if it would make a difference. I even set the IIS timeout to an to 15 min as well.
I know that its bad to run a report this big, but I'm just curious why it prompts for a password. In case a user runs the report. Report uses dates so its possible they could go way back and not realize its 500K rows. I am assuming it is an IE issue with the browser and found a registry edit, but I don't really want to edit registries on my users' computers.
hye everyone, i have Problem for the prompts will display at the top of the report in the browser :
1)go to the report manager on computer and set the set the Prompt User check boxes to checked. --> auto check
2)select the report viewer control, if you are using it, and set the Parameters property to false. --> the eror mesage will be display " The ' field " parameter is missing value. "
what should i do...any idea thanks in advance thank you very much
I dont know something weired happened on our MSSQL server today. We are able to connect to any Databases from Enterprise Manager from a Remote server.
Once we logged in and connected to a database on my database server, it keep prompting for the user id and password as we browsing through different tables in that database?
(Right click on the table then select Open Table -> Return all rows -> and it prompts for password )
Now when we enter password the contents of Table are displayed and now when we try to see contents of another table in the database it again prompts for password.
Any Idea whats wrong? How this can be resolved as it was not happening before .. :(
I run these stored procedure to build the report and I am able successfully to build the report but I need some prompts to in the report to get the specific data .
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sharepoint_Ticket_Report] @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate
[Code] ....
And for prompts how to create created_by and message_type dropdowns as shown in picture.
I need to develop a language specific dwh, meaning that descriptions of products are available from a SAP system in multiple languages. English is the most important language and that is the standard. But, there are also requirements of countries that wants productdescriptions in their language.
Productnr Productdesc Language 1 product EN 1 produkt DE
One option is to column the descriptions, but that is not very elegantly. I was thinking of using bridge tables to model this but you have to always select a language in a filter (I think)..
I'm thinking of a technical solution, such that when a user logs on, the language is determined and a view determines whether to pick a certain product table specific for a certain language. But then I don't have the opportunity to interchange the different language specific fields in a report (or in my case PowerPivot).
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
I have MS Time Seeries model using a database of over a thousand products each of which has hundreds of cases. It amazingly takes only a few minutes to finish processing the model, but when I click Mining Model Viewer to view the models, it takes many hours to show up. Once the window is open, I can choose model for different products almost instantly. Is this normal?

I get the following error when I try to load the mining model in the mining model viewer

I get a similar error when I try to load the Load Mining Accuracy Chart
Failed to execute the query due to the following error:

Hello everybody! I've already posted this question before but this error never been resolved. My DTS designer is totally screwed. When trying to create new local package getting error message "Could not create Component Categories Manager". I can't even use DTS to copy data in using DTS wizard. Somebody recommended to reinstall SQL Server which I did but it didn't solve my problem.
Does any one know of a way that a group of my developers can use this without giving them access to the rest of Enterprise manager?
Want to give them access to write queries and they are all Access developers so that I have to do as little training as possible then letting them have Query designer would keep them in their nice little world without hassing me to much.
When using Enterprise Mgr on a workstation connected to a MSSQL Server, if I attempt to start a new DTS Package, I get the following msg: Title: DTS Designer Error Text : Could not create Component Categories Manager
I get the same msg when trying to edit an existing package. I tried to re-register Dtspkg.dll,Dtsui.dll, and dtsffile.dll. All were successful but Dtspkg.dll, which failed. Does anyone know what causes this, and what else I can try?
When i'm trying to open the table say return all rows in Enterprize manger it gives me an error saying Query Designer encountered a query error Unspecified Error. I could not figure out what's goin on...
I appriciate if any one can help me out solving with this problem.
I'm fairly new to Proclarity and I'm using 6.3. I just have desktop professional and we still don't have proclarity analytical server installed yet. I would like to work around with KPI Designer, how am I able to install it. Does it come with extra components and needs to be installed from the installation CD?
...Also folks any good resources in learning proclariy?
Can you turn on a grid in the designer to assist you with aligning tasks, etc. I've trie all kinds of things, but can't get a grid. Or even maybe rules? I'm probably missing something real simple, but can't find.
I use the Report Wizard to generate reports. Within the "Design the Query" screen, I try the query statement as : exec mydb.dbo.rptSales @fortheyear It shows me an error: Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to smallint is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
The stored procedure of rptSales is CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.rptSales @pyear smallint=null AS .......
The rptSales has been tested OK on SQL Server Management Studio.
Actually, I have other similiar stored procedures using smallint as a parameter, and I can use the Report Wizard to generate reports, except the above one.
I have dragged 3 SqlDataSource Controls to the WebDesigner and none are appearing graphically in the Designer View, but they are in the Source View. How can I get the control to appear in the designer.
Hello! Yesterday my DTS designer was fine and today suddenly when I open the package in designer there is nothing there. I tried to create new package and it gave me an error when I was trying to save it "It is insufficient disk space to complete operation".
I am testing SQL Server 2000 and after having installed it on a machine with SQL 7 already on it everything went OK.
However, if I try to create a DTS package (or open and existing one) on either of my SQL Server instances I get a "DTS Designer Error". After which, the DTS package window opens but I can't see any of the tasks in the tool bar. I can't select any tasks from the Task option in the menu bar either.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
