Has anyone been successful in background printing of reports? I have set up the Printer Delivery Sample and get as far as attempting to schedule a report. I get a message that the printer is not installed. The printer in question is the default printer on my report server. Are there any other methods available for background printing of reports using RS 2000 and Windows 2003.

Hi,
I have a background image I'm using as a form within my report. the problem is that I needed to reduce the resolution of the image to 96 dpi in order to work with it and line things up within the ssrs/vs2005 report editor. However because the image is only 96 dpi, it looks awful when I go to print. Is there a way I can make it use a different higher resolution version of this image for printing.. or what would someone suggest I do in order to get around this problem..
Thanks,
Hello all
I have a strong SQL background, but have never worked on MS SQL 2000. I have a deadline to create a file by the end of the week.
I need to extract data from a table within one of the data files on our server. I need to then output that data into a text format and place it into a folder under the C: Drive.
I have been able to create my SQL statements using the Query Analyzer and have had success in generating the results into a crude text file using the Print Statement with a variable that contains the concatenated data fields and the results to file option. Now that the SQL produces the data required, I need to know how to automate the SQL to run every night and how to achieve the "results to file" when executing the SQL.
I did figure out somewhat how to schedule a job, however I am unsure if in the Command box for the step I can just enter my SQL Text. In addition, I could not find any way to indicate where I want the results to go.
Any thing from suggestions of what to read to outright step by step directions would be greatly appreciated.

One of the users is trying to print a report, in SQL RS 2000, He gets the foll err:
Error Loading resource String. (0*000000000)
He has a Windows 2000 professional version.
Any idea on how to fix this err? For the other users it works just fine.
I am running SQL 2000 SP4 with Reporting Services 2000 SP2. Reporting services hangs when I try to print reports. The reports render okay, and when I click on the print icon, I get the appropriate dialog box. Once I click "OK", I get the "Printing..." dialog that says "Printing Now...", but it never prints, and the window eventually stops responding. As far as I am aware, no changes have been made to the server, and it was working fine approximately 10 days ago. Below is the contents of my RS Client Print Log (%Temp%LOG56.tmp):

Can anyone give me any ideas as to how to troubleshoot this issue?
So I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
Submitted printed total_pages duplex
8/10/2015 8/10/2015 42 1
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
Thanks!
Hi all,
Can anybody tell me what are the background processes running in sqlserver databases.

Hi,
I am a bit hazy on what exactly are background jobs with respect to SQL. Can someone provide or point me to an example which will help me return some results for the view "sys.dm_exec_background_job_queue".
I understand that because background jobs may be short lived it is not quite easy to view or capture them.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I would like to know how can I put some static text in the background of my report.
I thought that it should be as easy as placing textbox, fillling it with text value and setting ZIndex. Everything is OK in ReportViewer control and when I save rendered report as PDF file (text is behind other fields, for example behind table). But when I save my report in Excel format (*.xls) text is placed below other objects, not behind them as it should be.
Any suggestions?
Regards

We are developing a embedded system based on Windows CE 5 and SQL Server CE 3 in C++ where we need to do merge replication in background while the front end application still need to perform operations on the database. A solution would be to run the merge replication on a separate thread while the application thread still can access the database to do inserts and updates. I have been researching if it is possible to access the database with queries during a merge replication, but I can not find an answere. Does anyone have experience of this and generally know if it is possible to implement with SQL Server CE 3 in the native API?
Best regards

Hi all,
I'm calling a PHP page that run a stored procedure. The SP contains a xp_cmdshell command that runs a DTS package. This DTS package is HUGE and will take many hours to import tables from an Oracle database to SQL Server. But I don't want my PHP page to "hang" in the process...
How can I execute my PHP page and refresh it every 30 seconds to see if the importation is done ? In my actual code, I create a "start_file.txt" when I begin the importation and a "end_file.txt" when it's done. I want to refresh every 30 seconds to see if the "end_file.txt" is created and display a "Importation Done!" message.
To be able to do that, I need the DTS Package to run in the background of the web server, or asynchronously from my PHP page.
Simple (stupid) question: is it possible to create a SP to call my main SP so it will run independently ??
Let's review some of my code here.
Part of my PHP page:
$DTS_result = $dbj->Execute(mssql_query("EXECUTE Run_DTS_Packages"));
My Stored procedure (without username & password...):
CREATE PROCEDURE Run_DTS_Packages AS
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'C:Progra~1Micros~380ToolsBinnISQL.EXE -S RHEA -U user -P pwd -Q "ISQL_Batch ''D:DDFIImporteIMPICAFI.bat''" -n -d DDFI'
GO
Any help will be greatly appreciate !!

SQL Server 2000 Ent, PowerBuilder 6.5 Ent, Window 2000 ProHi,My only experience is with Oracle,so please bear with me...We have some new clients that require our pricing data be importedinto their Sql Server databases. The price lists are in Excel files,which we recieve from numerous vendors on a quarterly basis.In Oracle we take the following steps:1. Import this data into tempory tables using bulk import utilitycalled sqlLoader.2. Then we have procedures that parse in the data to our various pricetables.3. Next we export the tables to a '.dmp' file. (contains table dataand table definitions I think).4. Then the clients download the .dmp file5. Our client application is then used to drop the price tables ontheir local db. and import the .dmp file.Can anyone point me in the right direction by telling me how toapproach this using SQL Server?Thanks,Karen

I have a DTS Package that I am running from a command line via .bat file. Does anyone know if there is a command to have the command window minimized or running in the background? I used the /Rep N command but that still leaves the window open until the package has executed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with a report created by someone else using SQL Reporting Services. In layout view the background for the body of the report is set ti transparent; however, when I preview the report using print preview the background or margins of the pages are appearing as black - text boxes, tables, etc. appear according to the properties that have been set. As soon as I change the background color to say white the print preview looks fine. Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere that controls this?

Hello,
I'd like to use a background picture in my report and I have some problems with its resolution. When it is 72 dpi the quality of printed background picture is very bad and when the resolution is 300 dpi a picture does not hold in one sheet of report. Help me please.
I have a report with a chart that utilizes both colors and background patterns to distinguish various pieces of data.
The background patterns work great (they are very clear and provide excellent contrast) when viewed in the report viewer or printed straight from the report viewer.
However, when I export to PDF, the background patterns become compressed and small, almost to the point of being too small to distinguish that there is a pattern at all. The result ends up being what appears to be just a different shade of the background color. This is particularly a problem when you then print the PDF on paper, since hatching patterns are similar to how printers create different shades in the first place.
I am somewhat suspicious that this might have to do with resolution settings for PDF exports. If I could lower the resolution, perhaps the patterns would not become so tight and compressed. Below are examples of what I'm describing:

Have you ever tried the following: change the background color of your body to any other color than white and deploy it. You will see that that body background color is still white.

Hi All,
I have a Matrix report in SSRS and have added the subtotal in the report. Now I would like to change the color of the subtotal to a different color than the matrix report cells. However when I change the color, only the subtotal cell changes color and not the whole row which includes the summarised total. Is it possible to color the entire row in the matrix report?
Thanks & Regards,

Is there any way I can set the background colour for an image in a table cell (or even for a non-embedded image for that matter)? I always seem to get a white background.
It is a GIF image file.
Thanks
When you set a row's hidden property to true, RS writes a white row. Is there a way to keep the background color the same is it was before the row was hidden and just not display the data?
Can you do a IIF(Hidden=True) expression????
