Okay, in doing some research about executing a report using code, I found the ReportExecutionService.Render and .LoadReport methods.
If I use this, is the report stored as a snapshot in history on the Report Server or how is the report rendered?
Forgive my ignorance in this and I thank you for your information.

Hello all,
I'm at a bit of a loss as it seems what I want to do should be obvious but I can't seem to locate whether it is possible. Essentially I would like to render a report using the api/C# and I would like to set the actual data the report renders via an XML string that I construct however I like within my code. Is this not possible? I hope I'm overlooking the obvious here.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Hello all
I am trying to build a web user interface to render a report using web service. In my code (Vs2003 - Visual Basic) of the web form, I have the following 3 lines in various placces.
1. Dim rs As myserver.ReportExecutionService = New localhost.ReportExecutionService
2. Dim execInfo As New myserver.ExecutionInfo
3. Dim execHeader As New myserver.ExecutionHeader
When I run the code the debugger says myserver.ReportExecutionService, myserver.ExecutionInfo, myserver.ExecutionHeader are not defined.
Environment: win2003 ent, Sql2000, SQL 2000 report service Prof sp2, Vs2003 sp1
What am I doing wrong?
Hi guys,
I am using the ReportExecutionService (RES) to render a report on the ReportServer programmatically. I have a report sitting on the report server with a custom assembley inside its footer. The reports renders to 7 pages and on the 7th page my custom assembley writes to the database. So when the report renders, i expect to see one record in the database. This is true when i run the report from VS IDE, and directly from the report manager.
But when i call the report via RES i notice that there are two records in the database per report. So it seems as if calling the render method renders my report twice. Does anybody know why this is. Your help and comments will be very much appreciated.
This is what i see in the database after calling render method of RES
1st Record: ReportName = x TotalNumberOfPages = 7
2nd Record: ReportName = x TotalNumberOfPages =8
This is what i see in the database after viewing in VS and Report Manager
1st Record: ReportName = x TotalNumberOfPages = 7
Like i said above, your help is very much appreciated

Does anyone know how to set multi-value parameters using ReportExecutionService in C#?
If I have
rsExec = new ReportExecutionService2005.ReportExecutionService();
.
.
.
ReportExecutionService2005.ParameterValue[] parameters = new ReportExecutionService2005.ParameterValue[2];
parameters[0] = new ReportExecutionService2005.ParameterValue();
parameters[0].Label = "Report_Begin_Date";
parameters[0].Name = "Report_Begin_Date";
parameters[0].Value = "4/15/2007";
parameters[1] = new ReportExecutionService2005.ParameterValue();
parameters[1].Label = "SalesID";
parameters[1].Name = "SalesID";
parameters[1].Value = ??? //Here, this parameter should accept multiple values like 200, 201, 202, etc.
rsExec.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us");
How would I set the SalesID to take multiple values?
I trying to execute the render method in the ReportExecutionService using AXIS java client.
I call the loadReport which executed succesfully and I got the ExecutionId.
But I am not sure where to set this ID.
When I call the render method I am getting
The session identifier is missing. A session identifier is required for this operation. ---> The session identifier is missing. A session identifier is required for this operation.

Hi all,
I am trying to render a report using the ReportExecutionService class render method. The report has a parameter ( Combo Box) which gets populated when the report is opened in report server. there are other parameters also. I am passing all the parameters in an array ParameterValue[] .
But the execution throws an error . I tried to catch the error using SoapException and the Error Code was "
rsReportParameterValueNotSet" for that parameter.
What i get is that i will have to paa all the parameters after opening the report so that the parameter (Combo box) get populated with the values and after that if I pass the parameters it should work.
For Example on the report server , when i open the link to the report that time it populates the data for parameter. Then i get the list of values gor the parameter.I am not able to find a way how to get this done through code.
I am not able to find any help regarding this. Please help at earliest.

Hello,
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Express, and RS (all with SP2). I can run reports fine for HTML, PDF, and Excel, but whenever I specify a format with "CSV" or "XML", I get the following error:
An attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report serverAn attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report server
I'd really like these report formats to work. I haven't modified any system configuration files.

Hi
I have Reporting Services hosted on a server which has Workgroup edition of SQL Server which does not support csv export. I would like to write a csv Renderer.
I am not sure how complex this task is likely to be.
Are there any White Papers or samples that would assist ?

I have a report which uses for one of its columns, a text field that contains HTML formatting. FreeTextBox is used to enter the rich-text data and is bound to a dataset, in this type of format : <BR><B>the title</B><P>Some stuff...</P>. Needless to say, when this prints out it does not look very useful. Is there any way to embed a rich-text type field in a report?

I'm using visual studio 2005 with .NET 2.0 SP1.
Under a report server project, I created a table and used it to display a dataset drawn from a database (SQL Server 2005). And I set the "NoRows" property of this table to something like: "= "Customer: " & Parameters!CustomerID.Value & " does not exist in database.". I deployed the report on a report server, run it and exported to Excel. If there were no data returned, the Excel will display the non-exist message as designed. But if I export the same report again without re-run the report, the message will disappear. Looks like a bug?
All- I'm using the SQL SP below to drive an asp.net gridview. Note how, after "else", I attempt to send to the browser the HTML code that should create a hard space. However, the characters are simply rendered verbatim by the browser. I've tried putting actual spaces in the quotes, and also the SPACE(x) argument. SP test executes appear to show the spaces in the results, but aps.net isn't rendering the spaces at all. Any thoughts.
(Its really more of an asp.net question, but I thought I'd post this here too for your thoughts. Thx in advance.)

I have a requirement that I'm having a difficult time figuring out.
I have a number of subreports, 27 of them, and I need to put them all on a single report, and have each one render on a separate page. Each of them I can be sure is a single page - how do I force a page break after each subreport?
I've been trying a number of strategies, tables, lists, rectangles, etc, with no luck...
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if it's possible to set a report to render directly to PDF please. I've found stuff on how to do it via a url but that's not how we want to do it.
Thanks in advance

I'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
Is there a way to return just the raw data from a report? I do not mean XML rending which marries the dataset information with the layout information. I just want the raw data from the dataset. If the XML returned was the result of the recordset from the de-parameteraized query only that would be great!
I am looking into writing a Custom Rendering Extension, but I am not fining much outside of the same MS example circulating. It seems to only deal with layout data and not the raw dataset data.
Is there way to get to just the raw data and ignore layout? Is the dataset in the SSRS Temp Dd that you can query after a report has run? If anyone knows of any way to get to the raw data that would be fantastic.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
For a project I'm working on right now we issue a bunch of 2-4 page PDF reports (a main page and a subreport) for every entity within a retail hierarchy. Our client would like to have some of those reports rolled up into a single file so that starting in the second level of the hierarchy there is one file for each member and all its ascendants/descendants. In order to do this, I'm putting the existing report into a list on a new template (as a subreport) and creating a dataset for the list to pass the parameters into the subreport. I initially had to do this for 1000+ stores and realized that it was going to take a LONG time (the main page report can take as long as a minute to run as it's kicking off stored procs that retrieve a ton of data from a cube), so I stopped it and restricted my list's dataset to 3 rows to create a 3-report rollup for testing. When I previewed the report, it showed up after a minute or so and it looked fine - everything was where I expected it to be, pages were breaking properly, etc. However, when I tried to export that into PDF it hung forever. I cut the dataset back to 2 records and had the same problem, so then I cut it back to 1 record and it exported just as quickly as it always does. Does anyone have any information on why this is happening and what I can do to get around it? It's going to be a pretty critical component of this project for us.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
I want to bring up a report via a URL and pass parameters to initialize the report parameters in the report. But I do not want the report to execute, to give the user the opportunity to change the passed report parameters. How do I turn off the &rs:Command=Render option since it is also the default?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that I'm hosting on SSRS. I have it setup for localization so if someone hits the report directly and their default language setting in their browser is ja-JP the report will display in Japanese. I am using the User!Language variable for this.
I am primarily displaying this report through an ASP.NET app however and am calling the Render method on the ReportingService service, then displaying the returned HTML in a literal control. This works great except, obviously, with this proxy type of set up the user's browser settings get lost in the shuffle. I can retrieve the browser settings easily enough in my ASP.NET application but how do I pass those settings along to SSRS? I have tried setting the CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture on the thread executing the request but it still comes back in English. I have also tried setting the Language property (as shown below) but it seems as though that would change the Language on the report for everyone, not just my session.
Property[] props = new Property[1];
props[0] = new Property();
props[0].Name = "Language";
props[0].Value = "ja-JP";
report.SetProperties(reportPath, props);
Can someone help?
Thanks
I 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"
parameters(2) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(2).Name = "Dept"
parameters(2).Value = "7255"

'rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us")
result = rs.Render(format, devInfo, extension, encoding, mimeType, warnings, streamIDs)
I 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.
We 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. --->

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!

Hi all,
I am using the asp.net web application and microsoft visual studio reportviewer control and rdlc for creating a report ( not using sql server reporting). I used the Product table to view the result.

I want to disply the output of this html code in my report's description field. But in my report, it shows the html value that I stored in my table (:<div><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul><b>aaaa</b></div>). How can I render the html in my report. Please give me a solution.
