I am looking to find more information regarding advanced filtering/report parameters available in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. From what I can see, the user can set values for each report parameter and the query defaults to "where x = (param 1) and y = (param 2)" etc. Is there a way that a user can pick parameters that structure a more complex where clause? For example, say I want to filter by all clients enrolled in all of these 3 service programs and have a dog or clients not enrolled in one of the following 3 care programs or clients who live in one of the following cities? So it would be like this:
where (((sp = 1 and sp = 2 and sp = 3) and animal = dog) or ((cp not in (1, 2, 3)) or city in (a, b, c, d)))
In addition, I am looking for more information regarding programmatic capabilities in Reporting Services. Can anyone point me to a good place for this information? I would like to know whether we could structure part of a query in VB.NET code and then pass this query to Reporting Services to join with the basic report query. Also, I would like to know Reporting Services' capability to interact with stored procedures.
In addition, is Reporting Services more for internal business reporting, or do companies add it onto their existing software package to sell to external customers? Does Reporting Services allow one report to be created, and then users (our customers) on different servers who use different databases to run the report by giving Reporting Services their credentials (database, SQL Server login, etc)?
Basically, I have just been following the tutorials on Microsoft's site, but they are all pretty basic so I haven't gotten a good feel for whether this product is good for advanced reporting needs.
I work for an ISV, and some of our customers use SQL Server, others use SQL Server Express. I need to develop some reports, so I was happy to read that SQL Express with Advanced Services would have some (limited?) Reporting Services available. Unfortunately, the sign-up period to beta test appears to be over, and so I am left wondering exactly what functions will be available. Is there anyone out there who has played around with the beta version reporting functions?
As we know the limited features on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, but we can build advanced features for it with coding on it. Would please any experts shed me any light on it in a summary like what advanced features could be added with coding on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services?
Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help and advices. And I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Since I am new to DTSs therefore currently I am making my DTSs in a manner where there probably is a room for improvement e.g. When I have to Import data from one server to another I use the Import feature and then I go through all the steps of the wizard (at the end of which I get the option to save my DTS)....
In the DTS "design window" there are many options under the TASK menu option and is there a url from where I can learn how to use these options (under TASK i.e. File Transfer Protocaol task, ActiveX Script Task, Transform Data Task, etc. etc.).
Maybe if I know how to use these options, I might be able to write my DTS in better and flexible manner...

- Windows Server 2003 Standard with SP1 - IIS 6.0 with some "classic ASP" applications running under it (not ASP.NET) - SQL Server 2000 Client (Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer etc) - .NET Framework Runtime 1.1 & 2.0 - Visual Studio.NET 2003 & 2005
I've never installed (or even trusted) any beta/CTP version of either Visual Studio or SQL 2005 (or any other MS trial products for that matter) on my machine.
Initially I installed SQL 2005 Express, and then the RTM version of SQL Management Studio Express.
Later i found this "SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Features" download, and figured that this must be a roll-up of all those features (and then some), so i removed all the old SQL 2005 components and installed this SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE.
I did this twice: the first time with Reporting Services; then removed the whole thing due to errors to be described below; the second time without RS.
The installation process itself is relatively painless, but after it's completed, whenever I open an ASP page from the local IIS server, dozens of warning messages like this would show up in the eventlog:
1. ============================= Event Type: Warning Event Source: MsiInstaller Event Category: None Event ID: 1015 Date: 2006-05-22 Time: 2:01:24 PM User: NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE Description: Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005

The resource '' does not exist.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I can use the Management Studio Express to create a database and tables, but having tons of errors flooding my eventlog is still a serious problem.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
By the way, I think the total experience with SQL 2005 installation is far worse than SQL 2000, which is a very mature product. It seems that SQL 2005 was rushed out of the door to meet some deadlines so quality was seriously comprised as a result. Sending out a service pack less than 6 months after the RTM release is a testament to this conclusion, right?
It installs the SQL Server and Reporting Services. It configures (creates Virtual Directories for report server and database) but it is not initializing the Report Server.
Having done the installation when i check the Report Server Status it was running and everything seems to be OK except it wasn't initialized.
I installed the SQL Server Express Advances w/ Reporting Services, but it doesn't appear to be working. When I bring the URL up in my web browser all I get is this:
transam/ReportServer$SQLExpress - /
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.2047.00
Any tips on where to begin looking for what is wrong?
I'm on Windows XP and recently downloaded Sql Server Express Advanced edition from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
I also downloaded the Toolkit but it won't install--says the services are already installed. However, I can't find the Business Intelligence link and don't see any Reporting buttons or menu items in Sql Server Express. I'm trying to learn T-SQL and Reporting Services but am frustrated. I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled and still nothing. I'm even listening to the MS videos on SQL Server Express--Reporting Services but what they tell to download and install is what I've done--but no luck. Help!!!
Has i install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services but why that Report Manager it was not installed. To me will not address under the reference http: // localhost/reports$SQLExpress since such catalogue is not present in IIS. In what there can be a problem?

When the dialog box appeared indicating file couldn't found, there was no option to look elsewhere for it the only option was retry or cancel which after 5 or 6 retries I cancelled. Everything else appears to have installed correctly for this instance.
Also earlier attempts to install have left services for named instances that I cannot install to such as SQLEXPRESS , SQLEXPRESS1 and CURRIEREXPRESS, I long ago had a beta version installed and have attempted numerous methods to completely wipe these out using the uninstallbetas tool from Microsoft as well as a number of suggestions from some posts.
Please help - The most significant reason I'm installing this is to practice creating SQL Reporting Service reports
I've been having trouble getting my RS2005 reports with interactive features (drilldowns) to work in an Iframe and rendered with SOAP.
The main problem now is that the toggle buttons (+ / -) point to the reporting services server and do a URL Access call. I've tried the <ReplacementRoot> element in the DeviceInfo parameter but it doesn't appear to do anything.
I keep on reading about how everything is possible through the web services but it looks as if these interactive features are only available using the URL Access. Is this true?
When one requirement says that MS SQL Server 2005 with Advanced Services is required, what does it mean by "Advanced Services"? Doesn't the full version of SQL2005 include all the advanced services? What are advanced services? I've seen the Express version with Advanced Services but this is the full version I'm talking about.
I have an installation of 2005 Express and I am attempting to install advanced services. I have tried uninstalling all .net service packs as well as installing with the skuupgrade=1 tag, but I still receive a message stating that the currently installed version is more recent that the version I am attempting to install. What might I be missing here?
Can any body tell me whether SQL Express with advanced services is availabe as a redistributable so that i could package it up with my application. Basically i need to supply different reports with my application for which i dont want to use any Crystal Reports type of thing. Moreover i also want such kind of reports available on the net. Please tell me how can i do that?
I'm writing an application that uses Sql Express 2005 with Advanced Services (for fulltext indexing) and will be needing to deploy the database server. I just realized that the install is 230+MB. Is there a way to trim this down to just the components/features I need?
Where can I get a good list of what the exact differences are between the Basic and the Advanced version of SQL Server Integration Services are? I have been looking and looking online. But I don't see much of anything written on this issue online. Please help!
I've recently upgraded from MSDE (SBS 2003 SP1 with .NET 2.0) to SQL Express SP1.
I am trying to enable full text sarching on the Sharepoint instance but whenever I go to Sharepoint central administaton and text sarching it reports that the SQL server installed does not suport this.
I can't find any documentation on this anywhere.
Admidatley the machine is a domain controller and I know this isn't recommended but surely this shouldn't stop this from working?
All components where selected when installing SQLExpress and I recieved no errors.
Need some advice on the free SQL Express with Advanced Services provided.
I plan to develop a small departmental multi-user applications with 5 to 6 simultaneous users using the free SQL Express with Advanced Services with VB.net and stored procedures on a local area network.
Is it a good choice to use this free SQL Express with Advanced Services or is it more advisable to purchase a standard version ?
Appreciate if someone could help me to address this issue?
One more thing, can i install the free SQL Express with Advanced Services on a normal desktop with Windows XP SP 2 and utilize it as a server or do i need a proper server with Windows 2003?

I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified. Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Common.DBUtils.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script) at ReportServicesConfigUI.SqlClientTools.SqlTools.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'? Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?
I have a VS2005 application developed against SQL Server Developer whose target database system is SQLE. Last night I downloaded SQL and built the datbase. I can connect to and manipulate the database easily with the Studio Management Console. The intention is to use SQLE locally. I can't connect programmatically to the local SQLE server.
I have used the surface config monitor and turned on all protocols except VIA. I've also been through with the configuration manager. I can connect via the Studio Management Console using the information in the connection string which is:
When I reached my limit I sent it a moderator who is an SQL Expert. He had the project and database and was also unable to connect, getting the same error.
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"

Does anybody have the experience of migrating from SQL 2005 Express to the new adition with Advanced Services? Do I install the upgrade on top of the previos edition or have to go thru uninstall.
Folks, Today I saw that an upgraded(?) version of SQL Server express was available. Since it is supposed to have the ability to generate a script to put a database on a hosted server I decided to get it. Bad decision. I uninstalled my previous version of SSE. and attempted to install the SP2 version with Advanced Services. After three installs I finally got the server to start. Now I can not log onto it using Management Studio Express. I know the server is running because I can see it in the task manager and I can open one database used with an ASP.NET web site through Visual Studio. Can you provide any suggestions on how to find my server or server instances through Management Studio? Do I need to remove all sql server related items and do a complete reinstall? I can see the server in the Configuration Manager and in the Surface configuration manager. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have spent way too much time on this.Thanks
Does SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advance Services comes with Reporting service. I mean to say If I have installed Express Edition in my computer, does seperate installation of Reporting service required.
I have installed the advanced services edition but cannot find out how to build and populate full text catalogs. Nothing shows on the MSSMSE tool and when I try to use a sql command to create a new catalog it says that the full text service is not installed. Am I missing something?
