Double 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 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"

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

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;
Warning[] warnings = null;
string[] streamids;
result = rs.Render("/production/Sudhir", "PDF", null, null, null, null, null, out encoding, out mimetype, out parametersUsed, out warnings, out streamids);
//System.Web.Services.h Response.ClearContent();
Response.AppendHeader("content-length", result.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(result);
Response.Flush();
Response.Close();
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!

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..

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

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,

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.

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?

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?

Hi all,
Currently, I am using the SSRS 2005 and try to toggle the report columns similar to Excel's column grouping function. Users can expand "+" / collapse "-" the columns in the render excel report. It works fine when I excute the tabular report in the web yet the toggle function is missing when I render the report to an Excel report. I am not sure the toggle function will only work for the row items or both as the excel report can keep the toggle function for the row items. Please help.

Stored Procedure Vs. Straight T-SQL Performance Problem
Jan 7, 2008Here is the background for my question.
For my organization, I wrote a stored procedure to generate invoices for all of our clients using an audit table. Any time changes are made to the data in a table in our database, corresponding records are added to our audit table. Using this audit table we can recreate any table in the database as it was on a particular day. To generate the invoices, I first use the audit table to generate a cached view of the information. After I have a cached view, I insert records into an invoices table using various filters in my select statements.
When I run the T-SQL directly from query analizer, it takes about 1 minute to generate all of the invoices. However, when I run the same T-SQL as a stored procedure, it takes roughly 14 minutes to complete. Thinking there was a problem with too much parallelism, I restricted the MAXDOP to 2 (as the server has 2 physical processors). However, this did not reduce the execution time at all. Next, I tried using the sql profiler to watch the database while I ran the query. I checked and I did not see any unneeded recompilation. Oddly however, I noticed that the stored procedure required well over 2 million reads compared to only 400,000 reads using the straight T-SQL. I am at a loss for how to make my stored procedure run as efficiently as the straight T-SQL code. If anyone has anything else for me to try or has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
David O'Keefe
Stored Procedure - Update Statement Does Not Seem To Update Straight Away
Jul 30, 2007Hello,
I'm writing a fairly involved stored procedure. In this Stored Procedure, I have an update statement, followed by a select statement. The results of the select statement should be effected by the previous update statement, but its not. When the stored procedure is finish, the update statement seemed to have worked though, so it is working.
I suspect I need something, like a GO statement, but that doesnt seem to work for a stored procedure. Can anyone offer some assistance?
Use Of SSIS In Reading And XSL File. Should I Use SSIS Or Just Straight C#
Aug 1, 2007I need to build an asp.net/C# application to read values from an Excel spreadsheet. Once the values are read from the spreadsheet, the C# code will do some elementary statistics on the values read. Then the values read and their computations will be written to a sql server database.
My manager suggested that SSIS might be a good candidate technology for doing this type of work. Does that sound correct? My only hesitation with using SSIS is that I want to keep the application as simple as possible, so that the code can be more portable. Maybe might argument is not a good one, but maybe someone can help me out here.
