We've built an oltp that uses nothing but synonyms that reach out to various DB's in the organization thru linked servers.
The issue that we are having is Data Source Views can only see tables and views. Is it possible to use synonyms? If not what would be a work around.
Please advise. Thanks

I have an existing project with the data source and report folder with working reports. I need to create a model for other department members to use Report Builder, not Business Intelligence Developer Studio, to develop their reports from. How do I add a data source view and report model folder to the project so I can then create a view and model?
I have a datasource view DSV1. It points to a datasource DS1 that is considered the "primary".
I have created a Report Model that uses DSV1 (and thus uses DS1)
I created a new datasource, DS2 that I would like to use instead of DS1. (I can't just modify DS1 because if I modify it, it will overwrite it when we go to our Production environment and break that datasource)
So, I can go into DSV1 and change all the references from DS1 to DS2.
But that's where the problem lies.
When I try to build, I get the following error:
"The Table property of the Entity "E1" refers to the Table "dbo_View", which is not in the primary data source."
Somehow, the entity is tied to the "primary" datasource. When I change it back to DS1, everything works fine. Any thoughts? What can I do?
Hi everyone!,
Our team is new to SSRS and we are trying to figure out how to refresh the data source view, autogenerate the corressponding report model and Re-Deploy the Report Model (rewrite existing Report Model) on the server on a periodoc basis or trigger the whole action whenever there is a change in the database on some specific tables.
We prefer to do this action through a Agent job ( a diff approach is also welcome).
Are there any stored procs out there?
Appreciate your time.

Hello,
I've created a Report Model Project that can be used by Report Builder to generate ad-hoc reports. I'm trying to create a connection string in my Report Server Project that points to the Report Model Project data source view.
All I can do is create a regular datasource, which bypasses the metadata contained in the Data Source View.
Basically I want my Report Server Project and my Report Builder reports to leverage the same metadata. Is this possible? If so how do I get the connection string?
Thanks!!

I created a data model for report builder. And since it wont let me use views, i tried to put all the tables im using in one of my already made views, to create a data source view like my sql view. But when i connect everything the same, my report model still doesnt narrow my search. I only want to see Breed information, but since i have a Breeder table,and Customer table, its showing me all customers, and not limiting it to the ones that are breeder customers.
heres the tables:
Code Snippet
FROM dbo.Tbl_Customer INNER JOIN
dbo.Tbl_Customer_Breeder ON dbo.Tbl_Customer.Customer_Code = dbo.Tbl_Customer_Breeder.Customer_Code INNER JOIN
dbo.Tbl_Customer_Detail ON dbo.Tbl_Customer.Customer_Code = dbo.Tbl_Customer_Detail.Customer_Code INNER JOIN
dbo.Tbl_Customer_Category ON dbo.Tbl_Customer.Customer_Category_Id = dbo.Tbl_Customer_Category.Customer_Category_Id INNER JOIN
dbo.Tbl_Customer_Classification ON
dbo.Tbl_Customer.Customer_Classification_Id = dbo.Tbl_Customer_Classification.Customer_Classification_Id INNER JOIN
dbo.Tbl_Customer_In_Breed ON dbo.Tbl_Customer.Customer_Code = dbo.Tbl_Customer_In_Breed.Customer_Code INNER JOIN
dbo.Tbl_Breed ON dbo.Tbl_Customer_In_Breed.Breed_Id = dbo.Tbl_Breed.Breed_Id
What am i doing wrong, and are there any suggestions.
Hi,
I've used the Dec CTP of SQL 2005 SP2 to create a Report Server Project.
In this project, I can create an XML datasource and successfully use that datasource in a report published on Sharepoint using the new Sharepoint AddIn.
I've also used Dec CTP of SQL 2005 SP2 to create a Report Model Project.
In this project I can create SQL Data Sources, DataSource Views andReport Models which I deploy to sharepoint and create a report builder based report from.
What I can't do is create an XML based datasource in a Report Model Project. Also, if I create one solution containing both types of project, the Report Model Project Data Source Wizard suggests I can create a data source based on an existing data source in my solution. What I find is that my XML data source from the Report Server Project is not listed. In fact even if I create a SQL data source in the Report Server Project that isn't available either.
Please let me know what should work now/RTM.
Thanks

I've been doing research on the web trying to find if it's possible to create a Report Model that is based on a Data Source that is NOT SQL Server and NOT SSAS.
Specifically I'd like to be able to build a Report Model on a Web Server (or multiple web services).
Does anyone have any information relating to this? Based on my research it looks like there's a few interfaces that need to be implemented (such as ISemanticModelGenerator, etc.).
I did find a post relating to using ODBC data sources for a Report Model and the recommended solution was Linked Tables in SQL Server or UDM in SSAS. Both cases don't look feasible for a Web Service-based Data Source.
Thanks,

How does the report model know what data source view to use? I could not find it defined anywhere in the .smdl file.
My problem is this. I have a Report Model project with two data sources, two data source views and multiple report models. When I try and bind a data source to an entity in the report model I do not get to choose which data source view to use to choose what table/view I want to bind the entity too and only the tables in one of my DSV's shows up. When I first created it, it worked fine. It automatically selected the correct view and table and was successfully created but now when I open the project, that correlation is lost.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated, thanks.
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!
I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.
The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.
Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?

Examining any of the above tables in SQL Server Management Studio does not reveal any duplicate column names. In fact, 'Customer_Merge_Custs' does not appear to be a column in 'Customer' nor does 'Pricing_Service_Extensions' appear in 'Pricing_Service_Layout_Detail'.
As an experiment, deleting the table 'Pricing_Service_Extensions' and regenerating did make the two associated messages go away.

I have an Excel 2013 file with lots of DAX connected to an Azure database. I'd like to reuse all that work by changing the data source for the PowerPivot model to a different database which is an exact copy (just empty) on the same server, but Excel won't let me. In PowerPivot I can change the database connection, the user ID and password as well as the connections name. When opening each table properties (inside PowerPivot model) the new connection is used and all old data is removed, but as soon as I refresh using Existing connections, both from PowerPivot or from the Excel Data tab, the old connection is used and old data is reloaded.
If I use Existing connections from inside PowerPivot, I can se that the new connection is highlighted and has the correct variable, but I think maybe that one is run first, then the old one is run afterwards (or something like that).
On the Excel Data tab, I can see that the old connection is the only one Excel itself seems to know about, but I cannot change anything there as it's read-only.
There must be a way to change this. Even with copy and paste it would take me days to recreate this Excel file from scratch and it would be a serious flaw and reduction of usability for PowerPivot.

Hello,
Our company is doing some basic research into using analysis services as a solution for our customers. I've taken our database and built an analysis services project in BI Studio and deployed it to Analysis Services on my local machine I connect to Reporting Services in Management Studio, create a folder for the cube, give my Windows user acct. Content Manager permission, create the Data Source (conn string = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=(local)SQLServer2k5;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=STI-PDB" -- copied from the Analysis Services project in BI Studio), and go to "Generate Model". What I get is an rsModelGenerationError, sub [Create Perspective From Cubes] with a connection issue at the base:
Either the user, <computername>Thomas, does not have access to the STI-PDB Database, or the database does not exist. () (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services)
Now, in the Database Engine, my Windows account has the db_owner database role for STI-PDB and it's default schema is dbo, which all the objects are created under. What am I missing here?
Hi all,
I am new to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and would like to use the OLAP Cubes as a datasource to build Mining Model . However i would like to use a particular view of the OLAP cube that i have generated to be used as the datasource for the mining model . I find that i am not able to save the Cube View while browsing the OLAP cube in Business Intelligence Studio. Is there a way i can acheive this requirement.
Any ideas regarding this will be really appreciated.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been generating report models for users to use with Report Builder and there is no data when they select the model. I noticed that the tables I chose did not have a primary key and when I chose a different table, with a primary key, and generated a model from it, then there was data for the user to use in Report Builder.
Is there a documented work around or will I need to set a primary key on each table?
I am trying to applying an data filter that will filter out user based on userid
Three tables:
tblPerson (fact table): contains over 1 million records with about 20 fields. One of the fields is called BureauID (int). BureauID indicates what Bureau the person works in for an given record.
tblBureau (attribute table) which has a FK relationship to tblPerson) contains the following fields:
BureauID int - this is the linked field to tbl person
Bureau Code varchar
Bureau ShortName varchar
The reason we use tblBureau as in attribute table instead of place the bureau code and short name directly into table Person is so that we index tbl person quickly with "ints".
tblDataAccess, which has two fields loginID with bureau Code. The bureau code in this table tells me what bureau that userid has access to.
How do i get the report model to filter based on this userid????. I know i have to add some data filters but i am not sure where.
I put an filter on DataAccess so that login = getuserid().
But what do i do to table person or table bureau, so that a person can only see the people in there bureau.
Thanks for you help

Hi,
I created a report model using reporting services, deployed the model locally and then built a report based on that model. The report works fine, but any data updates don't show up, seems like data is cached. I bounced reporting services, cleared cached tables in ReportServerTempDB but of no use. Has anybody faced this problem? How can I get updated data for reports built through a report model. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

I have few reports under different folders in Report Manager. Is there a way to set the data source for the whole folder rather than each report individually? There is also a folder where reports generate dynamically. Since the report project doesn't exist anymore, I can't set the data source through code. How can I set the data source for the whole folder?

Is there some way that I can force the Data Model to follow the cube's security roles?

I would like to use a dynamic pivot table in my data source view. It seems that a named query can be only one sql statement. So, I cannot use my multi-statement procedure that creates a dynamic pivot table output.
What is the best course of action here? I could hard-code my pivot table query. I could maintain a redundant table in the pivot format. Do I have any good options?
