I need to create multiple reports with each report being sent to the specified user. For example, 3 Managers should each get their own report. A Stored Procedure receives a ManagerID parameter, so I need 3 instances of the report. I also need each report to be sent to its associated Manager:
Mgr ID
Manager Name
1
John Q Manager
2
Jane Q Manager
3
Jack O Lantern
I set up a rss file to run the report and can run it multiple times, passing in a different ID value each time, but it will not be data driven because I must hard-code the parameters in the ReportParmaters object of the report for each execution.
Is there a way, either by designing the report in VS2005 or on the Reporting Services server, to accomplish what I'm intending to do?
I have a question regarding how to use report prompts in SSRS reports that are based on SQL queries. When I added the prompt into the query for use as a filter value, it says that there is an error. It does not recognise the '!' inside the parameter prompt string. Example is parameter!month_prompt.Value, which the ! is not recognised.
I have the following report I need to create with 2 parameters. An equal OR not equal. I need the report to have a drop down that has equal to  '1024' or a drop down option that IS NOT equal to '1024'. I also need the WHERE clause to return the equal or not equal based on the user selection inside of SSRS.
SELECT user1 AS [Company], reference AS [PAI_REF], statenumber, LEFT(user4, 7) AS [Supplier Code], user4 AS [Company Information], user8 AS [Transaction Type], user2 AS[Invoice Number], --CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(Date, user3, 103),101) AS [Invoice Date], [routeName] AS [Route], username AS [User Name]
I have our Reporting Services set up with Sharepoint Integration (SQL 2k5, MOSS 2007) and having problems getting email distribution to work.
When i Add a subscription to a Report in the Library i can set it for email and schedule as required - however when the scheduled time arrives nothing happens.
When i now attempt to "Manage Subscriptions" for that report i.e. Right-Click and select "Manage Subscriptions" it sits there for quite sometime then returns the following Error
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
All other reports - i can still access Manage Subscriptions unless i try to set it up with Email Distribution - which prompts the same issue.
Any ideas at least to point me in the right direction? Sounds like a permissions issue but i could be completely off!
Also any recomendations on a Site which covers all aspects of Reporting Services with Sharepoint Integration i could use a resource?
On SQL Server 2005 SP2 for Publisher and Distributor on the same instance, my old snapshots are not being cleaned up.
The following error is in the agent history:
Executed as user: DomainMyUser. Could not remove directory '\vmsql01ReplDatauncPublication_TRANSACTIONAL20070702104416'. Check the security context of xp_cmdshell and close other processes that may be accessing the directory. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 20015). The step failed.
xp_cmdshell is enabled and I can run commands like :
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell ' md c:TestFolder'
The permissions to the snapshot share and file system are that DomainMyUser has full control.
I have logged into the machine as this user and can remove snapshots so it does not seem to be a permission issue.
On other machines I do not get any errors but the snapshot folder still is not cleaned up.
I am wokring on an application where in I am migrating the legacy application to SQL server. for this when ever I make any changes to the legacy application,I immediately move this changes to SQL, using insert/delete/update to SQL.
I also want all these data on 2 to 3 other SQL servers which are on different remote machines. for this i thought of using the service broker to send the query as messages.
So on the initiator(where the legacy application reside), i create 2 to 3 queues(based upon number of receivers) and each time a query is successful on the initiator, i move these messages(queries) to the initiator queues and send them to the various targets. on the target i just pop these messages and execute them so that the query run on the all the targets and all my databases are in synch.
I need some info on various operations on the Service broker queues like:
1.How do i insert/update/delete from the queue. 2.Can i set some size constraint on the queue 3.Can i get the info like when the queue is full. 4.Can i set some custom flags on the queue like, queue is invalid or valid(setting and getting these falgvalues). 5.Clearing the entire queue.
These are the operations, i need on the queue for various use cases(failure cases)
Can you point to some documentation/tutorials whihc sheds more light on these queue operations. Thanks,
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel as select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
How do I get data on my linked report based on my grouped subtotal and grand total from the main report. The subtotal and grand total are calculated columns.
I have a 3 columns in my matrix in the SSRS summary report. Actn_COAST, ActnCITY and NumbOfAccts. Â
The following is code for my summary report. The results are shown below.
SELECT Distinct ActnCITY, Count(ACCT) as NumbOfAccts, CASE WHEN ActnCITY in ('NY', 'OH', IN, 'NJ', 'SC', 'NC') THEN 'EAST COAST' WHEN ActnCITY IN ('CA'. 'NV', 'UT', 'WA', 'OR') THEN 'WEST COAST' ELSE 'OTHER' END AS Actn_COAST
FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT
Code for my detail report contains the following SQL
SELECT * FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT AND @ActnCITY = ActnCITY
I have linked my report based on the NumbOfAccts column. I am able to get data if I click any of the NumbOfAccts values related to the state I want. However when I am not sure how to make the subtotal and grand total work. I want when I click on the subtotal of either coast, I should be able to see records of that coast e.g., if I select 37 I should be able to see all the records in East Coast. If I click on the Grand Total, I only want data related to those 2 coasts.
I have an index that shows distribution statistics of 98.20%, which is very poor. I set show query plan and show statis I/O on. This table has 1113675 rows of data.
************* select orderID, custId, intertcsi from tblorders where intertcsi = '2815'
STEP 1 The type of query is SELECT FROM TABLE tblorders Nested iteration Index : indxInterTCSI orderID custId intertcsi ----------- ----------- --------- 1015245 1011313 2815 2556392 2556392 2815 ....
Table: tblOrders scan count 1, logical reads: 104, physical reads: 58, read ahead reads: 0 *************** Then I use the same select statement to force a table scan:
select orderID, custId, intertcsi from tblorders (index=0) where intertcsi = '2815'
STEP 1 The type of query is SELECT FROM TABLE tblorders Nested iteration Table Scan orderID custId intertcsi ----------- ----------- --------- 60472 61084 2815 102184 102333 2815 ... Table: tblOrders scan count 1, logical reads: 110795, physical reads: 6891, read ahead reads: 103980
When the index is not provided, the logical reads and physical reads increased dramatically. Does this tell me that I should keep that index though it is a poor selection? Is that because a huge table like this make the optimizer use the index. The query without using index takes longer time to run. Any idea or comment would be very appreciated.
We have a report that uses several data sets. In 3 data sets we are using multiselect drop downs to select criteria for the report to run. As long as we create the DataSet in SRS there is no problem and things work as expected.
Our code looks something like this
SELECT ID, NAME FROM PROPERTY WHERE (PROPERTY.AREA IN (@AREA))
If we select multiple values the report give multiple results
However we have some very complex querys that use #temp tables. If we put these querys directly in the SRS dataset it wiill not allow us to use the fields because SRS can't read past the #temp tables, thus we need to use procedures.
When we use procedures we want to still use "IN" statement in order to utilize the multiselect. But SRS is forcing us to chage the Int type to string, and then it is not returning the proper results if we select more then one value.
Do we have to do something different to use IN statements in a procedure?
Here is the code that will not run as a proc from SRS
I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
I am trying to create a report in SRS that will calculate a Composite Score based on the Sum of other scores and then that Sum is divided by 12.
Here is a copy of the Query I have created to calculate the numbers I want to use, but when I create the expression in SRS the calculations don't come out correctly. The expression that I use in SRS is at the bottom of the Script.

I have a report that has 2 report parameters. The first paramter is a string type that allows null. It is supposed to allow the user to enter a memberId or just select all members (if the NULL is checked). The second report parameter is a multi valued selection that contains a list of country codes populated from a query. What I like to have is when the user decides to enter a memberid (uncheck the NULL) to have the country codes report parameters disabled. Is there a way to do that? Thanks, Elie
I would need to add a monthly based parameter to my reports. In my actual scenario i have 2 datetime parameters : "start date" - "end date", that denotes the time interval in days. Is there any standard way to customize these parameters to set an interval between months? In other words, i would need 2 parameters like these : "start month" (eg. august 2005) - "end month" (eg. march 2006), with the report filtering data among this given interval of months.
I cant imagine this to be possible, but I currently have a report setup and a subscription that email the report to some users, I was curious to know if possible that if the report returns no records to not have the report sent?
I have a vb.net page that I need to display a list of employees who work in a specific office, based on a MatterID passed in a query string. But, I don't know how to get a value returned from one sql statement into a second. Here's what I'm trying to do... From the QueryString, we know that the MatterID = 4 ( xxx.aspx?MatterID=4) Knowing that the Matterid=4, I query the database to get the OfficeId for that MID (Select OfficeID from tMatter where Mid=4) ~This returns an OfficeID of 6 So, then I need to do another query to get the employees where OfficeID = 6 (Select EmployeeID from tEmployees where OfficeID = 6) How do I do these in one query, or how do I use the Calculated Value for the OfficeID in the 2nd statement?
I'm using CR8 against SQL Server 7 and am trying to use a stored procedure as my data source.
Basically my boss would like to move all the code that is now client-side(formula fields, parameters, suppressions, etc.) to the server-side.
I connect by Database>ODBC and then choose my sp here. I get the error: "There are no fields in the file" All my sp is doing is accepting two parameters: a report type and a user name, and then generating a report based on this data. I can post the exact sp but it is a pretty long IF THEN ELSE block.
I checked the Seagate site and it said to convert the database driver to the native driver; I guess this would mean to connect by: Database>More Data Sources>Microsoft SQL Server But we need to connect by ODBC since we don't want the popup for the Login to Database, Server, etc., to be entered by the client.
Can someone tell me if there is a way around this to connect by ODBC using stored procedures.
Hi, I am new to SSRS. Is there a way to show part of a report based on User. Say we have a report consisting data for all department. When a department director view it, the report only display data for his/her department. Can this be achieved in SSRS? Thank you in advance for your help.
I have created reports using SSRS 2005 and deployed in ReportServer.
I calling these reports form my web application.Users have different roles based on their login into web application.I need check these user roles and display the reports based on their roles. There could be 10 reports in total, but for this user i should display only 4 out of them. Its pretty urgent. Can somebhelp on this?
Do anyone have an idea of how to split one report (Report subscribed for automatic delivery) into many file based on the volume of the data retrieved (records1-50 first file, 51-100 second file ect.,).
Say for example I have an employee and department table. The report is designed to provide a list of employees for a given department. If the department contains more than 50 employees then the report is exported individual file for every 50 employees.
In the role-based security model that is implemented for Reporting Services, users who are assigned to the Content Manager role can create and edit reports in Report Builder. Local administrators are automatically assigned to this role.
If you want other users to be able to work with a Report Builder report, you must create a role assignment for them that includes the default role "Report Consumer." Alternatively, you can create a custom role definition. As long as the customized role includes the "Consume reports" task, users who are assigned to that role will have sufficient permission to create and modify reports using Report Builder
---------
However, when I try to give a contact those rights, the "Report Builder" link still does not show up for my users. Is there any other place where I can examine the security rights to see why the Report Builder permission is not granted to my users?
in my report model project, i'm able to successfully create and deploy a report model based on a data source view that is in turn based on a table object in my data store.
but if i try to create a report model that's based on a a data source view that is in turn based on a view in my data store, well then, the report model that gets created comes up blank - i.e. shows no objects.
What gives? Is it not possible to create a report based on a view? that can't be right!
My application uses 2 databases from 2 different server. When i create a report model in business intellegence development studio I can only create 1 datasource for each database, and 1 datasource view for each datasource. Then when I create a new report, I can only use one datasource.
Is it possible that my report can be built on more than one databases?
I want to create a report based on an AdventureWordsAS parent-child dimension.
I created a new report item. In the Data tab i created a new dataset using AnalysisServicesAS data source. I dragged and dropped into the designer [Organization].[Organizations] and [Measures].[Financial Reporting].[Amount] from the metadata pane.
How can i configure a table control in the Layout tab, to create a drilldown report? How do i set the Group On and Parent Group fields if i have only one attribute?
where name comes from the info table, and number of items comes from the store table.
Query something like:
show the total number of items for all those users (in the fashion Name, Number of items)from the store table, for all those whose level=something and base=something in the auth table.
For example,
if there are 10 users whom match level=something and base=something in the auth table,
What I want displayed is: ------------------------ Name Number of Items ------------------------ user1 10 user2 15 user3 20 .... user10 30 -----------------------
which if broken up is: select name from info where aid=X select count(*) from store where aid=X ..
for all those whose base=something and level=something from auth.
I have an SSRS Report that I created. I'd like to set up a job that will run every hour, and what the job will do is send an SSRS report to a select group of recipients when a certain criteria is met. How do I go about doing this? My SSRS knowledge is very limited.
Additional Info:I created the report with a one time schedule to a certain email address. I do see the report schedule in the reportserver DB. Because I already have the schedule and the subscription id, I think all I have to do is call that subscription, but that's where I'm lost.
I'm working on a scheduling report to display work to be completed on each day. I have each day iteration as separate subreports by adding day values to "Today()"Â I'm trying to hide subreports that return as Sat or Sun.
Here's what I'm using to define my WeekDayName=WeekDayName(Weekday(DateAdd("d",1,Today())),True,0)
What I would like to do is =WeekDayName(Weekday(DateAdd("d",1,Today())),True,0) = 'Sat' OR WeekDayName(Weekday(DateAdd("d",1,Today())),True,0) = 'Sun' but I get an error when I attempt that.
I'm entering this under Sub-Report Properties - Show/Hide based on Expression using Report Builder 3.0.
I am planning to use SQL Reporting services in a new remote hosting centre and must provide ad-hoc reporting to a small number of users plus the access to running of previously prepared reports to a wider user base. User access must be thin client, browser based.
The client workstations are locked down to a particular security configuration and there is no possibility of installing .Net Framework on them. Normally, only browser-based applications can be used at the desktop client.
Apart from using Reporting Services (Citrix), what options do I have to provide users with the Report Builder in this scenario please? Are there any COTS packages that would provide this functionality?
