Reporting Services :: Overlay Content Does Not Render Completely When Exporting To PDF
Apr 10, 2015
I have a report with an overlay image & textboxes. This is a government form. The report render well in html. But, when exporting it to PDF the first 17 pages rendered well and the subsequent pages (the report is a 155 pages long) didn't. From page 18+, a blank page appears until the end.
We are having an issue with reporting services when it is viewed in IE.
We can design the report in visual studio and it looks fine, however when we upload the report to reporting services it displays the report incorrectly (shown below)http://static.flickr.com/103/298669551_7395fc946d.jpg
When it is print previewed it looks like this (which is the correct layout)http://static.flickr.com/104/298669558_cfd56ffd0e.jpg
i got through the installation of the Sql Server 2000 Reporting services evaluation and managed to deploy a couple reports and a shared data source to my reporting server on my DEV box.
Now im trying to view the reports i made online and they never render, all i get is the animated gif that always says "Report is being generated". This goes on and on with apparently no end in sight.
I CAN preview the reports in VS 2003 and they render almost instantly. there are no differences that may affect the connection to the database between my development computer (with VS 2003) and the server that the reporting server is on.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this may be happening ?
I am attempting to pull certain bits of information from the content field in the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog. I found this blog post that is nearly perfect : URL....However, when I try and bring in the query parameters, I am just getting nulls. All the code is:
--The first CTE gets the content as a varbinary(max) --as well as the other important columns for all reports, --data sources and shared datasets.
WITH ItemContentBinaries AS ( SELECT ItemID , Name , [Type] , CASE Type WHEN 2 THEN 'Report' WHEN 5 THEN 'Data Source'
[code]....
I've tried various variations on the bit third line up from the bottom without any joy. I been reading lots on XML this morning and thing my head has completely gone out the window.
I installed the SharepointRS.msi add-in and configured the Reporting Services to the sharepoint integration mode. After the installation ,I am supposed to find a new section in the Application management of Central Administration Tool of sharepoint called Reporting services. But i am not able to find that.
We have a development server and someone went ahead and deleted the BuiltinAdministrators account in SSRS 2008 R2. I would like to know if, as a local admin of the server, I can recover content manager access to the SSRS instance.
We have the customer requirement to display the footer of a SSRS Report fixed at the absolute bottom of a DIN A4 format page. The footer contains information like company address and stuff.
I searched quite a while on this topic and only found workarounds for SQL Server 2005 with Custom Code in the SSRS Report to calculate the size of the body content and then insert some empty lines to get the space needed to push the footer to the bottom of the page. But this won't work in SQL Server 2012. And I wasn't able to figure out how to achieve this yet.
I have a query on the export to excel.I have a report which i am export to excel but after exporting the excel shows the numbers as text and couldnt sum it up. what formating changes to be done to export the numbers as numbers?
I have a report with a chart that utilizes both colors and background patterns to distinguish various pieces of data.
The background patterns work great (they are very clear and provide excellent contrast) when viewed in the report viewer or printed straight from the report viewer.
However, when I export to PDF, the background patterns become compressed and small, almost to the point of being too small to distinguish that there is a pattern at all. The result ends up being what appears to be just a different shade of the background color. This is particularly a problem when you then print the PDF on paper, since hatching patterns are similar to how printers create different shades in the first place.
I am somewhat suspicious that this might have to do with resolution settings for PDF exports. If I could lower the resolution, perhaps the patterns would not become so tight and compressed. Below are examples of what I'm describing:
I want to be able to grant the ability to print and export reports in Report Manager to individual users or a group of users. I know I can disable or enable printing and exporting for all users. What I would like to do is create user groups and place everyone who needs to ability to print or export into those groups.
I have tried two methods to get the above XML format.
1. Modified XML Nodes - Created a stored procedure which returns the required informations from database. To get the XML format I have modified XML Nodes using DataElementName property from SSRS. I have added the following code in rsreportserver.
2. Using Stored Procedure:- Using Stored procedure I am able to create the expected XML format.
When i click on this link I can see the data in expected XML format. But the problem is I am not able to show this data in report. Dataset is showing the above .XML as given below. How can I generate report using SSRS with expected XML format? What are the procedures to get the above XML format.
I have generated an invoice report is SSRS. It works correctly via Report Builder and the viewer. However if I then export the report to PDF, it throws the formatting of the report off.
As I have mentioned, it is an invoice report. If I print 1 invoice, and export it, everything exports correctly and all formatting is retained. However if i print off and export multiple invoices (range of Invoice 1 to 4), the 1st invoice is exported correctly, but all subsequent ones are not. In so far that where 1 invoice should be printed on 2 pages of A4 paper, it is spread over 7 pages.
The header is one page, then 1 row is on the second page, then a blank page, then another set of data on another page etc. Is it a problem with the page/report sizing/margins?
I have a table where I added several header rows above the details row and increased the row heights to 0.4in. The row height looks fine in preview, but when I export to Excel, it is as if I had not increased the row height. I have found through trial and error that if I place a textbox below my table and position it so that it is under the rightmost column of my table, then I get my desired row heights in Excel. If I remove the textbox or if it is not under the rightmost column then the row heights revert back to their original size. The textbox can be empty and still has the desired effect. i am using SQL Server 2008 RTM and VS 2008 SP1.
I am trying to export report to .CSV , but I am unable to export grouped data, instead to grouped data , it exporting detail data,for example my grouped data in matrix is as below , I need to export below data to .csv
Our system is set up using SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. Our web application is built with Visual Studio 2003, C# and .Net Framework 1.1 and is a 3-tier application. On both our localhost and development builds of the application, the images that get rendered do show up properly. On our live build, the images do not.
One difference that we found is that on the live build, users do not have file permission access to our middle tier that is running reporting services. After examining the URL of where the image is trying to point to, we see that it is trying to access the middle tier from the front presentation tier.
My question is, is there a way to send a certain parameter into the Render method to have the images stored somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Here is the code we currently have:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService(); rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
reportParameters[0] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[0].Name = "par_userID"; reportParameters[0].Value = userID;
reportParameters[1] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[1].Name = "par_menuID"; reportParameters[1].Value = menuID;
reportParameters[2] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[2].Name = "par_URL"; reportParameters[2].Value = reportURL;
reportParameters[3] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[3].Name = "par_startPage"; reportParameters[3].Value = startPage;
reportParameters[4] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[4].Name = "par_endPage"; reportParameters[4].Value = endPage;
//Clean up old files RemoveFiles(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"]);
result = rs.Render(reportPath, format, historyID, devInfo, reportParameters, credentials, showHideToggle, out encoding, out mimeType, out reportHistoryParameters, out warnings, out streamIDs);
// // For each image stream returned by the call to render, // // render the stream and save it to the application root // byte[] image; // string optionalString = null; // string tempFilePath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"].ToString(); // // foreach (string streamID in streamIDs) // { // image = rs.RenderStream(reportPath, // "HTML4.0", // streamID, // null, // null, // reportHistoryParameters, // out optionalString, // out optionalString); // // FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(tempFilePath + streamID + ".png"); // stream.Write(image, 0, image.Length); // stream.Close(); // }
// Write the results to the current Web page string htmlout = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(result); htmlout = htmlout.Replace("<hr/>", "");
I have a requirement to transform the XML format of the SSRS report while exporting. I tried with some XSLT to implement this, but not getting desried output. Default XML format of my report is
I am using SSRS 2008 R2 and have a report set up on a subscription to be exported to a .TXT file and placed in a network drive folder. The report generates as it should and is placed in the network folder as it should and the file format is .TXT. However, when the text file is uploaded to an ftp site, the results of the very first record within the system the file is uploaded to, has 3 weird leading characters.
But the rest of the records are imported perfectly, as they should be. The system that the file is being uploaded into is not our system, it is a system at a USA Today Newspaper office and is an IBM iSeries server with the programming language of LANSA (Never heard of it).
I have edited the report server configuration file to give the ability to export the report to a .TXT file format and I have included the code snippet on here. Maybe I have missed something, not sure. I have also included the screenshot of the file upload results that were sent to me by USA Today. Is there anything I can do to get those 3 characters to not show up in the first record?

I need to export around 1 million records to excel. As we know that there is a limit of approx 65,000 rows in one worksheet so the exporting functionality is failing. One way is that I should be able to configure the Reporting Service in such a way so that once 65,000 records gets populated in the first worksheet, then the rest 35,000 records gets popultaed in the second worksheet.
I am not able to find out how this can be achieved in Reporting Services. Please help me in this.
I am creating a report in which i have used ranges .
i have used ranges inside a rectangle but when i preview the tablix ranges are coming Perfect concern is that during export to excel border of the rectangle comes only for one row and gets hidden for second row .and its working perfect when exporting to PDF .
In a bar chart, we are using the LargeCheckerBoard as the pattern style in series properties > fill. It is showing correctly on the browser but if we export to PDF, this style(checks) are getting small and different from what shown on the browser.
I have a report in SSRS 2008 R2 that has multiple subreports, in fact the report uses the same subreport twice with different parameters. Then that subreport also has a subreport, which has a subreport. (It's a complex data scenario with a hierarchy that can go up to three layers deep.) The report renders fine in report viewer, but when I try to export to PDF I get the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

[Code] ....
Each subreport renders correctly to PDF, and if I remove either subreport from the main report, it also renders correctly. But the two subreports together on the report cause the error.
Removing the third hierarchy layer (the final one) fixes the issue. Is there a limit to the number of nested subreports when rendering to a pdf?
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export.
I was trying to export a report which contains a number format. When I do that, all the numbers in excel will have a green small tag beside it saying "Convert from Number to Text".
Is there anyway that I can change the format to a number when I export it to excel?
