Reporting Services :: Hidden Parameter Stops Working
Nov 22, 2015
I have a working set of parameters, when they are all visible. However, when I change the second parameter to hidden it stops working.
First Parameter - Contains static values 'MTD' & Daily
Second Parameter - has available values and a default. Set up to be invalidated when the First parameter changes... like i say it works beautifully when not hidden.
Third Parameter - has an expression takes the value of the 2nd parameter value, removes the first character off and then converts the remainder to a date and uses it as its default value.
It based on this webpage: URL....However, when i set the second parameter to hidden it no longer works.
We have 1000s of SSRS reports hosted on the SQL 2008 R2. All reports are supposed to have all parameters "hidden". Random reports have been reported to expose the parameter when developers accidently deploy to test servers. Is there a way to identify the reports and the parameter property (Hidden, Visible, Internal) from the Report server Database?
I checked executionlog2 but can not find the parameter property.
There is a multi value parameter called "include" in the report where "Allow Multiple Values" is checked and it has 4 Available values as shown in the attached screen shots and preview of the report is also shown .There is no data set for this parameter and the values will get displayed on the report based on the visibility condition set in the report.Example : If first value is selected then 1 is passed and based on the visibility condition set in the report - the report output is displayed.None is default value and has value 4 and when the report is run with this option i.e. "None" then rest three parameter values are not applicable .
Requirement : -When the end user selects (Select All) Check box then (None) -check box must be disabled or must not appear for selection for the end user -When the end user selects check boxes either of the first three except None then also None check box must be disabled or must not appear for -selection for the end user -when the end user selects a combination of first three then also None check box must be disabled or must not appear for selection for the end user -The None is set as default with a value as 4 and is applicable only when the user does not select either of the first three values and the report will run.
I am trying to test the concept of passing multi value parameters from one report using the Action Property of a textbox to open another report is a new Window with the Multi Value parameter values already passed. The test involves the following:
Report 1:
1. Multi Value Parameter @ReportParameter1 has three Values: Value1, Value2, Value3
2. Has a text box with the Action Property set to Go to URL with the following Expression: ="javascript:void(window.open('http://reportserver/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReport2&rs:Command=Render&ReportParameter1=" + JOIN(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value,"&ReportParameter1=") + "'))"
Report 2:
1. Has Two Parameters @ReportParameter1 and @ReportParameter2
2. @ReportParameter1 has Available Values as follows: Value1, Value2, Value3
Does not have any default Values.
When I click on the textbox on Report1, it does navigate to Report2 but none of the Values are being set.
The request failed with HTTP status 405: Method not allowed. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.SemanticQueryDesign)
------------------------------
When I checked services I realised that Reporting Services wasn't started. I tried starting it and received a message:
"The Sql Server Reporting Services (MSSQLServer) started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do.........."
I also tried to start the service from Configure Report Server and received an error:
"System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed. at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout) at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)"
Any idea why this is happening? Should I install SP2?
I am having a problem. I know of hidden parameters in SQL 2005 RS, but I need to have this functionality as well for SQL 2000 RS. I read on the Net that MS SQL 2000 RS Service Pack 1 adds this functionality. I have installed SP4 for SQL 2000, then I installed RS SP1 on my laptop, but I don't see that functionality in VS 2003 Enterprise Architect. I even installed RS SP2 on my other machine, but still no joy. Am I missing something here or is Microsoft lying about this functionality? My client will be upgrading to SQL 2005 sometime in the near future (if they don't change their minds again), but I need to implement this kind of functionality now. I can't wait for them to upgrade to SQL 2005. This parameter I need to hide in the reports is necessary to ensure the reports show data by specific department. I'll implement it in such a way that when they call the report from the web application, I'll pass the departmentID to the report via the query string.
P.S. It is not possible for me to achieve this using JOINs in the queries. The parameter lists themselves depend on this value.
We are using SSRS 2005.We designed one report.This report contains Table and chart controls .When Table is hidden,chart only is visible, this chart is going to show only on last page.There is a white space in top of the chart while hiding the table control.
Consider for an Example Report one tables and one chart . We want to show only chart,So we made Table's visible property is false.Total Number of pages is five and table has only four pages and chart has only one page that is in last page. Now the report showing Four pages are empty with header and footer and last page have a chart with header and footer.
Any suggestions how to avoid the empty pages?
I tried to Filter property to filter the table.Same empty page with header and footer is only visible
I have an RDL report that has tables which are hidden based on expression. When I chose Run, they are appropriately hidden or visible. However, when I chose print, all tables are printed, even if they are invisible in the run version.
I created some test data in two tables. Then I went to one of the tables and right clicked then Selected Script Table asSelect ToNew Query Editor Window. I then cleared the generated data and selectedDesign Query in Editor. I then picked both tables in the 'Add Table' window and picked 'Add'. This produced two windows and I made the links I needed and clicked OK. This generated the SQL I wanted and it works great! But when I close the SQL Express and then re-open it the SQL does not work! I open SQL Express and selectFileOpenFile and pick the SQL I had just saved. Then I pick Execute I get the following message.
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'dbo.FileData'
How can I save SQL that works and then not be able to use it?
I have two report , first is main report which is matrix and have one parameter User_ids which is multi value selection and my second report is basic chart of user_wise performance.
Now, my main report (matrix ) works fine for Multiple selection of users and i have putted one textbox on main report chart which has action properties set for chart report, when user click on chart button it must goes to chart with user selected in main report. Now , i have used expression for parameter to send it like ..
=join(parameter!user_id!value,",") which pass selected value to chart
And when I am selecting single user it passing that value to chart parameter list but , when it is more than one user it errors with conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '121,128' to data type int. But my chart also works when passing 121,128 in user parameter in preview of report .
my dataset from sharepoint list. and this dataset value assign to parameter. i want when no any parameter is selected than it should filter like "ALL". when i select alow null value it give me prompt error you can not select null in multivalue parameter.How can i do it. i am using share point list.
I am using reporting services 2012, Can we make visibility of report parameter dynamic, ie can we make parameter visible or hide on certain condition or its visibility depends on other parameters Is this feature available in any other updated version of ssrs?
I have a report parameter called para1 which is a drop-down list and what I want to do is display another report parameter based on the para1 selection.
So for example, para1 contains a, b, c choices. if a user selects b, I would like para2 to display but if the user selects a or c, I don't want the para2 to display.
Using SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0..I have an action set in a text box of a table. My intent is to pass the value of that text box (which is variable) to a sub-report in a popup window. Here's my code: URL....The parameter of the report I'm trying to open is @SONum.I'm guessing my error is involved in the formatting of how the value of the parameter is being passed. I've also seen examples where the report server and report values were parameterized, but I don't know where to define
Parameters!ServerAddress.Value anywhere.Do I need to have something set up a certain way within the report I'm opening? Here's the report Parameter settings on the report I'm trying to open.
I have had my site running for several months now. My pages retrieve data from the SQL Server on the same machine. Today my users are are getting the message "SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
I have made sure that the credentials are correct. I can use those credentials to create a DSN on the server. So I don't know where to look for the problem. Help please!
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?
I have a package with an Execute Process task that is running csvde. I need the window style to be "hidden" in order to be able to run the package as a job. However, selecting the "hidden" option is not causing the window to not be displayed. Am I missing something?
I've been coding for a few weeks now, building an ASP.NET application. ran the aspnet_regsql.exe wizard and it created my table and procedures correctly within the live SQL 2005 server being run by my host (ASPNIX.COM). I've been able to run my app just fine locally saving to my remote SQL server. However, now that I've moved my code onto my hosted server, my app stopped working. You would think this would "jus work" since I've been using the same SQL server throughout...BUT NOoooo! I've scoured the net trying to find any hint about what might be happening. The ONLY thing I've been able to find is a story in the May issue of asp.netPRO that says "Once the scripts have been executed, grant the user account used to access the database from the Web application Execute permissions on all the new stored procedures and Selection permissions on the views that were created"This may be my problem, but I haven't figured out how to accomplish this. Within the SQl Server Management Studio Express, I can pull up the properties of each stored procedure and place a check next to my "USER" account. However it does not appear to be saved.My symptoms at this point are:It will not log me in under accounts I'd already created.
I have a few reports that suddenly stopped printing.
Nothing changed on the report server, and one minute they could print, the other they couldn't
I have one report that is 4 pages in preview and six when it prints. The users press the print control on the web page and the print dialog comes up, they select a printer and the printing messagebox comes up. Then it will print a couple of pages VERY SLOWLY... and eventually will hang at the 3rd page.
IT appears it is just spooling in the printer control viewer...
Other similiar reports that use the same query but a different parameter, work just fine.
I have rebuilt and redployed the report. The problem is happening on both my live and test environments.
I have looked through this forum but not found an answer. I did delete and re-isntall the client print control.
I have turned the client logging on. But no errrors show up anywhere.
I am running ssrs 2005 on both machines. test machine has win2003 sp1 , sql 2005 sp2 AND hotfix's
We built a Cache component that take advantage of the SQL Server 2005 query notification mechanism, all went well , we tested the component in a console application , and notifications kept coming for as long time as the console application ran.
When we initiate our Cache Component in our web service global.asx application start event , the query notification works for a few minutes , but if we came after 10 minutes or so , we stoped getting notifications from sql, the SQL Server queue is empty , and all is showing that there is nothing wrong on the DB side...
Our Cache component is a Singleton class , that perform all registrations ,catch the notification events and resubscribe for notifications.
What can be the problem? is our Cache component object are being collected by GC?
Does IIS disposes the SQL Connection that the Query notification uses?
I was trying to migrate an ASP application from Access to SQL Server 2005 express, and found surprisingly that some code stops working which would seem to be independent of the data source. For example:
qtext = "SELECT MainText, TextType FROM MessageText WHERE [etc. etc. -- the query is OK]" rsMain.open qtext, dbcon, , , adCmdText if not (rsMain.BOF and rsMain.EOF) then
rsMain.MoveFirst do while not rsMain.EOF
select case rsMain.fields(1).value
case 1
session("headline") = rsMain.fields(0).value case 2
introtext = rsMain.fields(0).value case 6
helptext = rsMain.fields(0).value end select rsMain.MoveNext loop end if rsMain.Close
"rsMain" is an ADO recorset which defaults to a forward-only cursor as opened above; dbcon is an ADO database connection. Nothing fancy; and it has been working for years as expected with Access. But the recordset seems to behave differently when SQL Server is the data source (even though the whole point of ADO is to provide a level of abstraction, and I expected it not to change.) In the code above, checking the value of "rsMain.Fields(1).value" causes "rsMain.Fields(0).value" to disappear or become inaccessible. As a simple debug exercise, I tried response.writing "rsMain.Fields(0).value", a block of text, prior to the select case block, and it works fine once (as long as rsMain.Fields(1).value has not been accessed), but then a second write comes up empty.
Is it reasonable to expect that ADO recordsets and cursors function differently if SQL server is the data source vs. Access? Is this documented anywhere?
I had to make room on the system partition so I uninstalled SQL 2005 Ent. and reinstalled it in a different partition, which is mounted in c:apps. Since doing this, although MSSQL works fine, RS does not respond. During the reinstall, Setup reported that RS was "installed but not configured". I ran the RS Configuration Mgr and went through the config sequence. However, on the Initialization page, which has a red 'x' in the left panel, the local server is not listed -- the grid is empty.
The RS service is running, using the same credentials as MSSQL, the admin account .SQLExec. It logs a normal startup in the Event Log. However, on visiting http://localhost/Reports, I get a message saying that Reporting Services is not responding. SP2 installed OK on the system, and reported that all components were upgraded.
I've setup a two node Cluster Server (non-shared storage) with a file sharing witness. I'm testing some of the different failover scenarios to see that everything is working properly. Everything works fine until I try testing the failure of the SQL Server service. When I stop the SQL Service on the primary server, it fails over to the secondary server as expected. I then start the service on the (now) secondary server and it comes back online as the secondary server. I then try to test that the service will fail back over when I stop the service on the new primary server.
However, when I stop the service, the secondary server now shows "resolving" and never comes back online. When I bring the service back up on the primary server, the secondary now shows as secondary instead of resolving. So to see if it's something about failing over from one server to another, I do a manual failover making the original primary server the primary again and everything is as it was originally.
I then stop the service on the primary server, but the secondary server now says resolving and the AG will not become available again until I start the service on the primary server.
It seems that when I first configured the quorum it worked fine the first failover scenario, then stopped working. I then added the file sharing witness, and failover worked the first time again, but not after that. For some reason after the initial failover it won't automatically failover again after that.
Config:
Servers: Windows Server 2012 Standard SQL : SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP1
I'm a bit stumped at this. I have done this before a bunch of times. The difference is that this time I have two rectangles in the footer. For the each, the visibility is set to an expression which checks whether the page is page 1 or 2. If it is 1, the first rectangle is visible, if 2, the second. When I reference the hidden fields on the main area of the report via ReportItems, they come through fine on the first rectangle, but are invisible on the second. I've tried the same exact fields and every time they are visible in rectangle1, and invisible in rectangle2. What is going on here???
I have been working for days to translate a report out of an old system and in SQL reporting services.
Getting the basic code down to get the required data was easy, however getting it to work in reporting services has turned into a nightmare.
Why, because I have been told that SQL reporting services does not allow temporary tables...HUH!
Ok, so how am I supposed to take three data queries and munge them together into a report.
Here is the query that does work, can anyone give me an idea of how to make this work given the limitations I have run up against.
I have already thought of using a store procedure, but we have ruled that out since would likely have to do it via linked servers, which would be expensive. We thought of having it just create and then link real tables and then delete them...not sure thats going to work, and again probably talking linked servers to get that to work.

I have a report which has 3 tables kept inside rectangle.I have PageBreakAtBegin Set to True for the last 2 tables.Hide Property for rectangle is False.Everything is working fine.
Moment,I place condition in Hide Property,no matter it's True or False,page break stops wroking.I can see all the tables in the single Excel file or report
In my report I have a dataset that is returning an ID field among other things. I am setting a hidden parameter = to that ID field. That parameter is then used to return another dataset.
My problem is that the original dataset with the ID field does not always bring back data (this is expected). If data is not brought back, I get an error when I try to execute the report ("The 'X' parameter is missing a value").
I have the parameter set to "Allow Null Values".
This value is not required in the SQL Server stored procedure that returns values for the new dataset. The parameter is of type Integer. (So I am not able to set the "Allow Blank Value" property) This is NOT a multi-value parameter.
Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas/workarounds to solve my problem?
In Sql Reporting Services 2005 (This is bolded because this same error is all over the web for Sql Reporting Services 2000 and thats not where my problem lies) I schedule a report to be emailed. However when the delivery extensions Deliver method is called I get the following error

In the log it shows the following

I've set up my smtp as out domain email smtp, given the accounts all the permissions I could (Even going to far as to give Everyone permissions everywhere) Currently my IIS, SQL 2005 and reporting Services 2005 as well as my local SMTP is running on the local machine account.
I cannot seem to get it to work, or even give me a different error.
Could anybody please tell me what needs permission where and what settings I need to have set up for this not to happen.
Some extra information
I'm using Windows XP to develop on however the server where this will eventually run is Windows Server 2003
I'm using ASP.NET 2 and SQL Reporting Services 2005 and SQL 2005 with sp1 loaded
I have created a report that sharing two datasets for displaying the data. This datasets are using Stored procedure for execution of the report.One of the stored procedure using Order by clause and returning the data.But on running the report , the report viewer displays the unsorted data of the filed. But if we run the stored procedure directly from the sql server , it will return the sorted data.
