Report Server Database Documentation
May 8, 2007
Hail to all the serious Report Server users. Let us all start the documentation effort on Report Server Database (Reporting Services 2005). This will let us work around many problems that occur due to lask of documentation of the RS DB Schema.
Example :
Subscriptions table in the report server database can be used for handling the subscriptions manually. A DML statement coupled with the same on the sysjobs in msdb database can stop corrupt subscriptions (which cannot be modified directly using User Interfaces)
Current Problem
The problem that I am facing is related to the size of the Report Server (it is above 35 GBs, with 422 users) while its counter part with 128 users is only 4 GBs. This is due to a table ServerParametersInstance which is growing in an out-of-bound fashion. The lack of documentation is hurting.
So let us put in some effort & document the RS Database for good.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Just a quick note to let you all know about a shareware app I have written called SqlSpec. It generates docs for any SQL Server 2000 or 2005 database, together with dependency diagrams, and lots more. It has very good reviews from the people who have tried it out so far.
If you are looking for a very good and reasonably priced doc generator for you databases, why not take a look?
You can find out more here: www.elsasoft.org (http://www.elsasoft.org/default.htm?referrer=jezemine).
Thanks!

SQL server 2005 express reporting problem.
error message:
This feature "remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of reporting service
I got this error message when I try to connect to database hosted in another PC running SQL server 2000.
Is it true that SQlL server Express can only use Local Database Engine to host the database?

I would like to know if it is possible to have different applications on separate report servers sharing one report server database. If so are there possible issues or ptfalls to this type of architecture?

Two questions for you all...
1. Has anyone found a good software that does database documentation that is fairly priced and pretty much fully automatic. Something to document tables,views,stored procedures and so on...
2. Have any of you found a paper or better yet a chart that shows what is new to sql server 2005 that wasn't in 2000 and also more importantly what was available in 2000 that will not be supported in 2005?
Thanks

Hi,
I am newbie and working with an application that ueses report server 2000 to make reports.
The problem is somebody has moved the database and changed some acounts and now I can not either get any report from the server or install my changes for reports. I used to run this commando to install changes for reports:
rs -i PublishGeckoReports.rss -s http://IpAddress:32808/reportserver -v definitionPath="C:TempDeploymentReportsRDL" -v targetFolder="/MyReports"
here is the error message i get when i try to install:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. The logon failed
when I browse to http://IpAddress:32808/reportserver I get following:
The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. The logon failed. (rsReportServerDatabaseLogonFailed) Get Online Help
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
at IIS Manager for default web site Enable Anonymous Access is checked and on the database server and the web.config file use same account and password.
but I heard that somewhere there is encrypted password that i have to change it too.
I need your help
Thanks

The error happens on Reporting Service version 9.00.3017.00 (the version we are running in Production). The Reporting Service and its database are actually resided in the same physical server. And the strange thing is that it does not prevent any functionalities or features working except when I launch the Management Studio on that server, it usually takes 2 minutes to load up. (any other server would just take 5 -10 seconds).
Can any one help?
Thanks!

I am running SQL Reporting Services and SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 2003 server. The configuration has been unchanged for approx. 3 weeks. Suddenly today, reports being accessed via an ASP.NET 2.0 application (on Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6) using a SOAP call to the reportserver became inaccessable. End users received the following error:
Message: An error occurred during rendering of the report. --->

Subsequently, the following error is logged on the Report Server/Database server:
Report Server (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database.
I was able to temporarily correct the problem by performing as iisrest on the Report Server/Database server. However, the same problem occured again a couple hours later. I am relatively new to SQL Reporting Services so any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know of any place I can find documentation on the meanings of the SQL Server state icons displayed in the MMC console for SQL Server 7.0? My server is showing the green running icon but also a vertical red squiggly line. I do not know what this red squiggly line means, and it concerns me. The databases all seem fine, and everything seems to be working, i just have this feeling like something bad is impending and I cannot find anything that tells me what it might be. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I currently work for a company that has had a "family business" mentality for many years. The only trouble is, it has grown into a fairly large company over the years and that mentality just doesn't cut it anymore (We have around 200 employees in 2 offices, and 25-50 remote users).
I have recently taken over the role of System Administrator, and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get everything under wraps. There are a LOT of un-documented things happening with our database/web server, and in order to keep things safe & secure, I need to try & flesh out what those mystery settings would be. I feel that NOW is the time to get some solid documentation down, to protect my ass before some critical failure happens.
I'm wading into unknown waters here, and I'm hoping that somebody who's "been there" might have some tips to make my life a little easier.
I have an IBM Bladecenter, and a spare blade with which I can use to re-produce as close to a mirror copy of our system as possible. I have installed windows 2003 /w SQL2000 and restored a full backup of our databases and imported all database user accounts, and logins. What about Maintenance Jobs? Error Logs? Patches/Hotfixes? Service accounts? Membership roles? System databases? ODBC Sources? Services? Startup Scripts? I'm sure the list could go on & on... What are some of the crucial details I should look into?
Has anybody been in this boat before having little knowledge of what was built before you arrived, and have any insight on how to get through this without too much headache?

I'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!

Hi,
I am very new to SSRS. Currently I am developing a web project which involves report generation through SSRS. My SQL Server Database engine is configured to have Windows Authentication. I want my reports to be secure by creating Accounts. In such a case how can I create Accounts in SQL Report Server database set. Is it possible or is there any other approach to achieve this.
Thanks,

We have a new server (SRV63) and I followed the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156421.aspx to move the report server database from our old server (SRV38). Everything appeared OK, however, when I went to initialize the instance in the Reporting Services Configuration tool, it shows an initialized instance (checkbox is checked) for SRV38 and and uninitialized instance for SRV63 (checkbox is not checked). Please note that I am not trying to create a scale-out deployment. I tried to initialize SRV63 but received the error below.
--------------------
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The report server installation is not initialized. (rsReportServerNotActivated)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.InitializeReportServer(String installationId)
------------------
This is the only thing stopping me from shutting down SRV38 and bringing SRV63 into production. Can someone assist me with this issue?

I have a database in the SQL 2005 default instance and a report server in a named instance. The database has a symmetric key for decrypting one of the columns. When the report server queries the database I get this error: "Cannot find the symmetric key 'key', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."
I know the symmtric key is there because it works when queried from the same instance. Should the database and report server be in the same instance? Or is there a way to change the permissions so that the report server can access the symmetric key in the other instance?
I might note that the report server is able to access unencrypted data in the other instance. The error only occurs when I try to decrypt data using the symmetric key.

Hi
There are some complex reports in my report server, so I want use scheduled snapshot to improve the performance. But I don't want the generation of snapshot effect other report. Is it possible I create another report server, and use the same reportservertempdb database but the reportserver database is different. Then I can configure the second server create the snapshot automatically. In other words, I want to configure 2 report server share the same snapshot or cache. Is it possible?
And another question is if I can configure the parameter value which will be used in snapshot generation.
Thanks and regards

Hello,
I recently read the following book:
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Server-2005-Reporting-Services/dp/0072262397/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-5275187-2065567?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194662002&sr=8-1
It was excellent.
I was hoping to find an example of the following:
My company has a desktop application with a local database (sql server 2k express) I would like to be able to have local reports and if the user likes the report they are viewing, the user could "publish" that report to the server. Since the database is local, the report data source cannot point to that database. So, it would publish the report AND the data in it.
For this use case, what is the recommended strategy of moving the data with the report? Would i create a small xml file and then dynamically build a datasource that points to that xml? Any best practices advice?
If i could find an example would be fantastic.
Thanks for your help,
Dan

The results:
