Remote Access With Reporting Services
Sep 21, 2006
I downloaded SQL server Express w/ Advanced services with the intention of using reporting services on my webhost server and SQL on a seprate data server.
I made a report in VS2k5 which ran perfectly off of a local server but when I tried to deploy my reports to the web server it informed me that
The
feature: "Remote access to report data sources and/or the report server
database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.Can that be so!? Is it as it seems, that Reporting services for SQL Express simply cannot connect to a remote DB, or did I simply fail to configure my service properly?
and if it wasnt built to remote connect then is there a work around for this issue?
Thanks in advanced

I'm using SQL Express with Advance Services & I get this error when I try to deploy my reports. Why do I get this error
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'EDPSYS'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
The feature: "Remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsOperationNotSupported)

Hi There,
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?
Thanks.

Is there any way to get more information for when IAuthorizationExtension::CheckAccess fails to grant access to a report item for the current user? Specifically, it would be useful to know:
1. URL of attempted report
2. IP address of user agent
3. Identity of current user
4. Date/Time of the failed attempt

I started my Reporting Server and if I use the Internet Explorer as a Administrator everything works fine.But if I don't open it as an admin it calls "rsAccess Denied The user [...] does not have the permission...".Problem is that I want to run it in an SAP Program with an HTML Viewer. how I can get those Permissions ?By the way somehow I'm not able to create or change roles in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

If I log on to the SQL server and using IE go to http://sql1/reportServer I see the reportServer webpage just fine.However if I go to another server in the same domain and do exactly the same thing (same user account, same URL) I get a windows box asking for username and password. It doesn't matter what username I use I still get prompted for username and password.
I've looked in the sys.dm_exec_connection and it says NTLM so I am guessing that SPN are not the cause.
We have another SQL instance on the same SQL server and you can reach the reporting webpage just fine no matter where you are.
The only thing I have noticed different is the working instance has login for DPM$ (being a DPM instance) but the default instance does not have a SQL1$ entry. Don't know if that is important.

Previously I was using SSRS to create a local website(native mode) for our domain users to access. I wonder whether it is possible to share the website to outside users(just like youtube, everyone can access it). Is there a possible way to achieve that?

I have report server setup on the same machine where the sql server 2005 db is setup, as well as iis running the website. i simply need to get report server running to allow internet access. I have report server setup so that it is running locally (localhost), however, as soon as I change the iis site settings to a domain name, report server stops working properly. This looks like a permissions issue, Ive tried different combinations of settings, but nothing works. Any insight on how I can get report server setup for internet access (forms authentication), would be much appreciated.
thanks, lance

In the field, the operators are presented with 5 categories, each category having between 3 and 5 possible selections, for example:
Weather - clear(1), cloudy(2), rain(4) or snow(8).
If the operator selected cloudy and rain, the value of Weather would be 6.
I want to print a report in the office that will list the categories and the available selections for each, putting an "X" next to those selections that were checked by the operators.
In Access, it was easy - I plugged a decode procedure into the OnFormat event...
cnum = obj![WEATHR]
If cnum - 8 >= 0 Then
obj![SNOW] = "X"
cnum = cnum - 8
End If
If cnum - 4 >= 0 Then
obj![RAIN] = "X"
cnum = cnum - 4
End If
If cnum - 2 >= 0 Then
obj![CLOUDY] = "X"
cnum = cnum - 2
End If
If cnum - 1 >= 0 Then
obj![CLEAR] = "X"
End If
Making the change to SQL Reporting Services, I'm clueless...as you can tell, I'm not even sure how to ask the question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS) is installed on Vista Ultimate.
I cannot access to the http://localhost/ReportServer page. IE posts an internal error HTTP 500.0 (after IE required a Windows account).
All the configurations of Reporting Services are OK. In the Log file, there is nothing: the Web Services does not seem to be launched.
By continuing the investigations in IIS 7 (activation of the €œRules of follow-up of the requests having failed€?, I found the error following:
IIS Trace Detail Highlights
No. EventName Details Time
53. MODULE_SET_RESPONSE_ERROR_STATUS Warning
ModuleName="IsapiModule", Notification="EXECUTE_REQUEST_HANDLER", HttpStatus="500", HttpReason="Internal Server Error", HttpSubStatus="0", ErrorCode="Syntaxe du nom de fichier, de répertoire ou de volume incorrecte. (0x8007007b)", ConfigExceptionInfo="" 09:02:33.716
Translation of the french sentence: ErrorCode="Incorrect syntax of the file name, the directory or the volume."
I made a full research on Internet and in the documentation at my disposal and I did not find anything which can advance me towards a beginning of solution€¦
Thank you with all for the assistance which you will be able to bring to me.

I am just wondering if i can control the access of range of variables from users' logins.
To be more specific, if i a parameter alpha has five values (1,2,3,4,5) and then i have 3 users A, B C, what i need is:
1. A can access Vaues(1, 3)
2. B can access Values (2, 4)
3. C can access Values(3,5)
Is there anyway i can do this either from the stored procedure i am getting the data or i can do it on SSIS development side?

I have a question about ssrs security. In report manager I have set a list of users as browsers, and the builtin administrators are content manager in the parent folder where reports are. A user that is not an administrator and neither a user I added, has access to reports.
I'm thinking this person is having access because the data source of the reports use a administrator account to connect to the analysis services  using the option Credentials stored securely in the report server with the 2 checkboxes marked (use as windows credentials when connecting to the data source and impersonate the authenticated user).
I simply marked this option because SSRS is in 1 server and SSAS in other and I think kerberos need to be configured and I haven't looked into it, but I think the report access is separated from the data source.

I have a dashboard page that I would like to load fast. But I would also like the user to be able to run the report On-Demand. The report has start date and end date parameters which default to the first and last day of last month. If I use a Cache plan that loads at 6AM the report runs with the default parameters set in the report, the user has to wait until it completes before they can change the parameters.
If I uncheck "use default" parameters in the report I lose the ability to set a cache refresh plan with the default parameters because the option is greyed out. So is there anyway outside of creating a second copy of the report to allow a user to open a report, change the parameters and run it, but also have a way to schedule some sort of Cached report for the default parameters so I can put that on a WebPart page that would load instantly?

I am in a project where we are using a vanillla Reporting Services 2005 with the builtin report portal. No sharepoint integration yet.
We have successful deployments where we limit access to different folders based on AD-accounts and groups. In this particular case I have a folder for which I would like to allow access to all AD-users within the entire company.
So basically I know how to limit access but I don't know how to enable access for everyone. Is there a simple way to do it? I have googled and search mshelp but I couldn't find anything. I will admit to the search being quite quick but as usual time is short.

I know from searching this forum that there have been many variations of the issue I'm currently suffering, but I haven't found anything quite like mine or a solution to solve it. The issue I'm running into is that I am unable to log on to Reporting Services using Management Studio or the web interface when Windows Integrated Security is enabled. I have full functionality using basic security, but the risks involved make it impossible to deploy basic authentication out into production. The error I'm receiving in Management Studio is The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient). I recieve the same error when I try the web interface.
I've looked the most recent logfile in WindowsSystem32LogFilesW3SVC1 and these entries match up to the time I attempted my authentication.

I tried to highlight one of each of the HTTP errors I am getting. 401.2 and 401.1 are the ones I kind of expected, but have no idea why I'm getting them. The 500 0 error is a bit troubling, because unless I'm mistaken thats a server side error.
Here's my current setup. As far as I can tell, I've done everything to set up correctly for Windows Integerated security.
My Specs
The server machine running all SQL 2005 services. It resides in a domain. All Clients are in the same domain.
Intel Dual Processor 3.20 gig Xenon
Windows Server 2003 w/ SP2
Microsoft Sql Server 2005 w/ SP2
Reporting Services Setup
The virtual directories Reports and ReportServer are set to Windows Integrated Security with Anonymous Access disabled. All other checkboxes in Directory Security are unchecked. For permissions in Reports, I have:
Administrators (servernameAdministrators) - Full Control
ASP.NET Machine Account - Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write
Authenticated Users - Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write
Creator Owner - No permissions
Domain Users - Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read
SQLServer2005ReportingServices]WebServiceUsers$... - Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read
SQLServer2005ReportServerUsers$... - Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read
SYSTEM - Full Control
Users (CompNameUsers) - Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read
In ReportServer I have the same permissions except Authenticated Users is absent.
At one point, I even added the account Everybody and gave it full control, and I still recieved a HTTP 401 error. Any help at what I might be missing would be a godsend.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified.
Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases
Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)

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?
Any help is appreciated

I select Reports in the Solution Explorer and then Import Reports... Microsoft Access and browse to my Access database. After I select the database I see it open briefly as if it is trying to import the reports but then Access quickly closes and a error pops up: "You already have the database open." I have checked and double checked and the database is not open. I have even tried several different databases and the same errror occurs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

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.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
