I have a report that has a snapshot enabled. I made some changes to my report and redeployed it, but when I view the report from the Report Manager web site the old version is getting used. Apparently the snapshot includes the rdl and the data and not just the data. Can anyone else confirm this? If this is the case, a new snapshot must be created after the report format is modified.

Hi!!!
Can anybody help me with the generation of Table of Contents for a report using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Let me ellaborate. The scenerio is...i m having a report of lets say 500 pages grouped on employees, showing the performance of each employee between specific date range. Now if the manager prints the report of 500 pages he will be more intersted to jump directly to a perticular employee's page which means my printed report had to have a Table of Contents on my grouped criteria (which in this case is employee number). I would really appriciate if someone can suggest me a solution for this.
Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

Now if I try to view the report, it disables the prompt selection. It means user cant change the selection. Is it the expeceted behaviour of the exectuion snapshot?

What are the options to create a table of contents based on the report items in a List Control? Document Mapping works for online viewing. A table of content would make the report easier to read when it's printed.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Is there a way to eliminate that space character?
Thanks in advance.
I have a report with a parameter that I would like to have created every night but also allow a user to change the default parameter and rerun it if they need to . When the Snapshot is opened, the parameter box is disabled. How can I work around this?
TIA

Can this be done?
I want to build a report using data from the old snapshop reports, how do i use them as a datasource?
I need to create a SSRS report snapshot at the end of an SSIS package (seems like this would be a common task). I tried connecting to the ReportingService web service to do this but I get the following error when after I select the web service in the Web Service Task:
This version of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is not supported.
Is there as simple way to do what I want?
Is there a way to schedule report snapshots and still give users the option to change the parameters? I found that report parameters are disabled when I set the execution options to use a snapshot. I fixed the problem by setting the report to use cached data that expires on a custom schedule and by scheduling an e-mail subscription that creates a new report cache soon after the cache expires. I'm guessing there must be a better way to provide good report performance with the default parameters as well as flexibility.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
We have a datawarehouse that's built nightly through a number of Integration Services packages. I have several packages that compile and aggreage data used by a set of reports constructed and presented using Reporting Services. I would like to augment the packages to incorporate a step that will create a snapshot for each report. Can anyone provide a set of pointers or sample code to accomplish this?
The data is static and this method would allow the reports to be constructed before the first user runs them (caching would require them to be run once). I would also like to delete the snapshot if a report extract needed to be run again. This can occur in some occassions. I'd like to automate this as much as possible.
I imagine I'de be able to do this using a script task in SSIS that interactes with the reporting services web service in some way.
Kind regards,
Orlanzo
Hello,
This is my first post, and I'm hoping you all can help.
Using Reporting Services 2005, I have several reports that use embedded images.
All images render fine when the report execution is set to:
1) Always run this report with the most recent data
1a) Do not cache temporary copies of this report
However, when I change the execution to either a Cache or a Snapshot, the images and some charts render as red "X" placeholders. This is sometimes remedied when the user clicks the page refresh button, but not always.
Of course, I could just have all the concurrent users use the uncached report that hits the OLAP server, but that would be highly inefficient, and just plain slow.
Thanks for any help on this subject.

Hi,
I am facing some issues while creating report snapshots programmatically using axis (Java platform for creating and deploying web services applications).
To create a report snapshot what should be the methods called ? I tried using UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot() but didn't find any parameters to set the schedule information which would say when the execute the report snapshot. Can you please guide me for this ?
Also I had one more doubt regarding report snapshots. If a parameterized report is configured as snapshot then we would require to set default parameters for the report.
Is there a way to create snapshots of the same report with different parameters ?
eg : The employee information report displays the information based on the employee id taken as a parameter. So is it possible to create snapshots with different employee id's ?
Thanks,
Amit Shah.
Dear All-

Hi,
To programmatically invoke a subscription we can use -
exec ReportServer..AddEvent 'TimedSubscription', '575F96C6-A1BD-49FD-9C2F-934FC9658780'
How can we programmatically cause a Manual Report History Snapshot to be created.
I know it can be done using the Webservice. How would we do it using the ReportServer stored procedures. Which SP/SP's can we call. With what parameters.
TIA,
Sam.
Hi Everyone i wonder if there anyone know

Hi Everyone,
I want to receive some reports by email every time the datawarehouse refreshes its content. The data warehouse is being refreshed on a daily basis but the exact time varies between 9:30 am and 11:30 am.
I have created the 4 reports in reporting services and set the execution property of each report to
Render this report from a report execution snapshot
and then created 4 subscriptions for email delivery based on processing option
When the report content is refreshed
In an Integration Services package I have 4 Script steps (VB.net) that perform an UpdateReportExececutionSnapshot for each of the reports.
The problem is that these steps fail in a random order every time the package runs. Sometimes they all run fine , but then one or two fail with timeout error. So the emails are not being sent.
I am currently using SQL Server 2005 SP2.
If anyone has an idea on this issue, please let me know.
Best Regards
We are setting up a new reporting environment for our client and as part of the deliverable I need to achieve the following two things.
1. Most of our reports are snapshot reports and all the data needed gets populated into transaction DB tables from a batch program. Some of batches run monthly and others on request, we use a scheduling tool to run these batches. For monthly running batches since I know when they run, I have scheduled snapshot report for the respective dates. But the batch that run on request have no fixed schedule so my question : Is there a way I can invoke or kick off a particular SSRS snapshot Report as soon as the batch completes running. For example if a on-request batch program finishes running today at 6PM , I would like to create a snapshot report as soon as the batch finishes running. Is this achievable ?!
2. As I mentioned above most of the reports are snapshot reports and client wants Report history of 10yrs. We have about 170 reports on the whole which run monthly/daily/yearly. Is there a best practice known in maintaining all the reports and where to store them?
We are using MS SQL Server Reporting Services 2014.
Hi
I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.
Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.
The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.
I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.
All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.
All,
Can everyone tell me how I can view the contents of a transaction log in SQL Server 7.
Many Thanks

Can anyone advise me of a convenient way to make a copy of a database in SQL2005. I need to make a complete copy - including all Stored procedures, functions tables and table contents.
I want the place the copy ont he sae SQL server but obviously under a different name.
I have a table with about 2 million records.
One of the fields has data seperated by a comma. I need to be able to grap the data for each record and split those items into their own table in seperate rows. This is easy in Asp but the page will timeout before it can process all the records.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,Rick

Hi all,
I have built a Disaster Recovery Site for my DB.on periodic basis, trn files from production server reach DR server and DR setup will apply them locally.
If the flow is smooth then no issues, if one of the file does not reach DR
the entire setup will halt for the want of the file and I dn't have any means to
know which file is missing.
Both my production and DR site located remotely behind firewalls, i.e i can't
physically access the servers or remotely login to the server.
Can anyone tell me how to see the contents in a folder in the server using
SQL query .
Any help is highly appreciated

I am storing data temporarily in a database... and periodically needto update that huge database, so just has to copy that temp DB to theoriginal one.Using sql may take a few hours to finish this operation. I think youcan do "export" from temp database into a file and "import" into thehuge database. That will be binary data exort and import and hencewill be faster. But, I am not sure if all databases will support thatthough.So, is there any other solution?
