ReportServer Component Is Not Showing During Installaion
Feb 5, 2007
when i try to install Sql Server 2000 reporting services setup on XP then it shows me client components only.Report Server and report manager component is not showing.Due to this i am unable to run the report project using report server.It gives a messege "No Reprot Server was found at http://localhost/ReprotServer".How can i installed report server.
Hi, I've developed a couple of components now and I know I've seen this problem before but I can't remember how to solve it. My component is built, it has it's own (blank at the moment) UI and it seems to work fine except that there is no right click option to look at the advanced editor. The code is almost identical to another component I wrote that works just fine. Any ideas anyone? Thanks Charlie.
Please help everytime i call http://servername/reportserver it is presenting the login screen, if i enter the username and password then i can access the reportserver screen, same with reportmanager tool.
under iis manager for the reportserver virtual directory i have given anonymous login access.
do i have to set any other extra permissions other than anonymous login(iusr_machinenname)

Hello, when I try install CRM 3.0 on Win2003 R2 SP1 with SQL Server 2005 SP1 I receive this error: "Reporting Services error, you must use SQL 2000 server". How I can resolve this problem ?
In this maschine I have: Windows 2003 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2005 SP1, SharePointServices 3.0.
I have a package that has a data lfow task. this task imports data from a db2 database (using the IBM Ole DB provider fro db2) and adds it to sql server database table. This package was created on the server. then though version control (using TFS source control) I check out the package on my local machine. and when I open the package I get the foll 3 errors.
Error 1 Validation error. Import Account Num from BMGP_BDR: DTS.Pipeline: The component metadata for "component "DataReader Source" (1113)" could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
Error 2 Error loading BMAG Download Xref Tables - bmag.dtsx: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ComponentVersionMismatchException: The version of component "DataReader Source" (1113) is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. [[The version or pipeline version or both for the specified component is higher than the current version. This package was probably created on a new version of DTS or the component than is installed on the current PC.]] at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostCheckAndPerformUpgrade(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Int32 lPipelineVersion)
Error 3 Error loading BMAG Download Xref Tables - bmag.dtsx: The component metadata for "component "DataReader Source" (1113)" could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
I have a package which reads an Access file from a folder. My connection manager to this file is .NET providers for OledbMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Package works from my computer. But when I execute it on the server as a SQL Agent job, I get
The component metadata for "component "DataReader Source" (1) could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
I copied the mdb file to a folder on the server which my packages have no problem reading data from.
My packages run under the same domain account as defined in proxies.
I have setup SSRS 2000 and gotten it to work but I am having trouble with SSRS 2005. I can't access to reportserver anywhere on the network. The only way to get to reportserver is termserv into the server and hit it with http://localhost/reportserver The server is Windows 2003 server Standard Ed. running SQL 2005 SP2 and Sharepoint Portal Server 2007. Can somebody please help? Thank you.
In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type. On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD €¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦. €¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦. On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion. Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that? Thanks in advance!
Hi all I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too. Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting?? (I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)
I am writing a custom dataflow transformation component and I need to get the name of the preceeding component.
I have been trying to find a way to get a reference to the Package object, MainPipe object or IDTSPath90 object (connecting to the IDTSInput90 of my component) from my component because I think from there I can get to the information I want.
No idea where this bug crept in from. Have been using SSIS for 1.5 years now without hitting this problem.
I had a script component opening an XML document and parsing it using XPATH. I added some code that uses StreamReader / Streamwriter (closing one stream before starting the other). The code works without issue in my C# app.
And it ran without issue 2-3 times in SSIS. Then suddenly after running my package again, the script component says it completes successfully, yet nothing happens. I set a breakpoint on the first line of code - it never hits it. I add a msgbox as the first line of code - and it never displays.
I then close my package / exit out of ssis ... and then re-open it. When i open my script component, all of my code is GONE. All references that I added are gone.
I tried adding the streamreader/writer process to a dll I created from my c# app ... and added the DLL to the package -- same result.
I can reproduce this on 2 different computers.
Anyone experience this problem ? Any idea how to stop it ? Or debug it ?
Here is a slimmed down code sample of what causes the error :
Public Class ScriptMain Public Sub Main() Try Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument xmlDoc.Load("c:ulkasync_86281519_20070628045850225_4.xml") MsgBox("xmlLoaded") --this doesn't display once the package starts "acting up" Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) UpdateXML("c:ulkasync_86281519_20070628045850225_4.xml", ex.Message) End Try Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success End Sub Private Sub UpdateXML(ByVal fileName As String, ByVal message As String) Try Dim invalidChar As String = message.Trim().Substring(message.Trim().IndexOf("0x"), 4) Dim rd As StreamReader = New StreamReader(fileName) Dim xml As String = rd.ReadToEnd() Xml = Xml.Replace(invalidChar, String.Empty) xml = xml.Replace("", String.Empty) xml = xml.Replace("<![CDATA[<![CDATA[", "<![CDATA[") xml = xml.Replace("]]>]]>", "]]>") MsgBox("replaced") rd.Close() Dim wr As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(fileName) wr.Write(xml) wr.Close() Dim xdoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument() xdoc.Load(fileName) Catch ex As Exception UpdateXML(fileName, ex.Message) End Try End Sub End Class
I want to create ReportServer which processes crystal report and sybase database using c#. Particulary this report server get parameters from user and process this report send it back to user additional also send email,print,ftp etc...

When I publish a reportsapplication from vs2008 to http://myserver/reportserver/reportapplication7 I get this error:
Code Snippet Error 1 Failed to connect to 'http://myserver/reportserver/reportsApplication7/' with the following error: Unable to create the Web site 'http://malachi/reportserver/reportsApplication7/'. Server error: You cannot convert a virtual directory into a subweb remotely. Ask your web server administrator or ISP to do this for you. 1 1 ReportsApplication7
The website ReportServer is the one that sql server 2005 > Config Tools> Reporting Server Configuartion created.
I have a report on the ReportServer that I need to copy to my local computer. It was not saved in SourceSafe. Is there a way to get the .rdl file for that report copied to my computer from the ReportServer? I have googled the topic but no sites come close to what I want.
Hi, I used to think ReportServer service running for reporting is essential for reporting service work but today I stopped this service and tried to access reports....they were working fine ...can somebody explain me why its working so fine ?? even I stop it ?
I am getting the following problem when I try to build the ReportServer Project:----------------------- Build started: Project: Report Project9, Configuration: Debug ------Error: Value cannot be null.========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==================== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========-----------------But in the report preview, report display correctly. Plz. suggest me what should i have to do.
Ok, I have this up and running thanks to the help of lots of users in this forum (Thank You again)
I deployed some reports, and everything looks fine, however to add another twist to this, I would like the website to look prettier, by adding something like a welcome page,and some folders and such.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do that ??? DO you have any material or a website, where I can get some info ??
i'm currently installing MS Dynamics CRM 3.0. on the check page before installing is an error: The Web Site for Installing SQL Server Reporting Services {0} uses an application pool of non-supported identity. Supported identity is Network Service.
so, when i open the properties (tab identity) of the reportserver under application pools in iis manager prefered "Network Service" is choosen, this should by right. do i made any failure? have anyone an idea, tanks
I keep getting this message when i try and restore the ReportServer "system.data.sqlclient.sqlerror: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database in in use"
I am using sql express w/ advanced services on xp pro with IIS 5.1 installed. On the local machine named 'Tester' i am able to access reportserver using a web browser and the url: http://localhost/reportserver. But when i go to another machine on the same network and domain and try to access the reportserver with url: http://Tester.domain/reportserver or http://<ip address of Tester>/reportserver ie tells me page cannot be found and does not give me any errors. How do I set up network access to reportserver on the machine Tester? Help would be greaty appreciated.
I am trying to move my Reporting Services databases from one server to another one. On the old server there was only a single instance so my databases were named ReportServer & ReportServerTempDB. On my new server I have multiple instances and, after installation (which I didn't perform), the databases on the new server are ReportServer$SQL_VS11 & ReportServer$SQL_VS11TempDB.
I was able to successfully restore both databases and rename them at the time of restore and also restore my encryption key but now when I try to view one of the reports I'm given the error:
Invalid object name 'ReportServerTempDB.dbo.PersistedStream'.
It states that "This error occurs because the ReportServerTempdb name is stored internally and used by stored procedures to perform internal operations. Renaming the temporary database will prevent the stored procedures from working properly."
This leads me to believe that what I'm attempting to do is not possible. I asked the developer in charge of the reports if we could simply republish but he informed me that we would lose history in this case. I may have to simply leave the old database names alone which would be inconsistent with our corporate naming schemes. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Hi. Does anybody know why I'm getting the following error when I go to http://localhost/reportserver in a browser? is there a problem with how to setup permission or Windows Vista?

Is it possible to cleanup ReportServer DB and ReportServerTempDB by setting the time interval ? For example, I want data in these two dbs to be deleted automatically after 5 or 10 minutes. How can I do that because as new reports are added and executed data goes on increasing in very short time and hurts performance.
I have XP Professional and my IIS is installed and works fine because i can browse to http://localhost.
But when I go to http://localhost/ReportServer, I get the error below:
"Server Application Unavailable" The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request. Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur."I've struggled almost a day with it, researched on the internet and so on.... Is it possible that this is because I don't have Sharepoint Services installed????
And SharePoint services is not standard in Windows XP Professional???? So I can not use the ReportServer????
I'm working on an application for a client. The application is distributed to 100 mobile (SQLExpress SP2 w/ Advanced Services) users via the web, and uses merge replication to sync data back to corporate with Web Synchronization.
All of this works great. No problems at all.
The client now wishes to use the Reporting Services component of SQL to deploy reports, rather than building them into the application with Crystal Reports. The rationale is it will require less work (probably true to some degree) and it will make updates easier since each time they add a report, it will not require regenerating an entire binary image of the application for users to download.
Naturally, the client asks me if there is a way to use the same replication technology to simply build the reports in-house against an internal ReportServer database, and then replicate the contents of that database down to those 100 clients with the same merge replication -- except, making it a "one way" subscription, with no updates sent back to the server.
I'm wondering if anyone has attempted to do something along these lines.. Is it possible to use SQL Server replication technology to replicate the Reporting Services database down to mobile clients?
Or... is there some other mechanism I should be investigating that will allow me to deploy and update roughly 200 reports to 100 mobile clients on a regular basis?
Thoughts from other users would be appreciated.
I've tried using replication for the past few days, but have had no success. I have created a publication and subscription, have managed to pull the data down and build the local database, but when I do so, Reporting Services immediately breaks. I've even attempted to limit the data I pull down to simply the Catalog, Datasource, and Chunk tables (eliminating what appears to be the other tables that contain site-specific configuration data), with no success.
If anyone has tried something similar, or has managed a similar application, feedback would be appreciated.
I would like to try and increase the performance of the reportserver database. Im thinking of adding an index to dbo.catalog.itemID - before I break the database and subsequently kill the 200+ reports i spent ages writing, does anyone know of any problems doing this?
The reports seem to be a bit slow first run but speed up during the course of the day - the server generates about 1500 instances of reports each day (7 instances of reportmanager all pointing to the reportserver db). I primarily use precompiled storedprocedures to feed the datasets so this is why im thinking index tuning may help.
Followed the steps in Books Online to move the Reporting Services databases from one server to another. After resetting all the keys and configurations, the site comes up. However, all my shared datasources have lost their connection strings, and have reverted to requesting login information. Is this how it is supposed to work? If not, how do I fix this easily (as I have about 25 data sources)?

In my shop we hired a contractor who build our SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services reports on his laptop. After a tiff between him and our manager, he left with the laptop and we no longer have the source code for these reports. We have backups, but not the latest.
These reports ARE deployed to our production server, but I need to know if it's possible to reconstruct the RDL for the reports from the database contents. I understand that the report contents are encrypted and I'm guessing the RDL is in the Catalog.Content column.
Is there a way to recover the RDL for deployed reports or do we have to resort to the legal system?
