Reporting Services :: Parsing SSRS Config File And Dynamically Changing File Path Of Config File In Code
Sep 2, 2015
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.

Hello All,
I experienced a weird error while deploying my SSIS package. After running the manifest file, i noticed that one of the configuration file's path was not updated in the dtsx file. My solution has 8 packages and almost every package has 2 configuration files. Except 1 file every other config file's path is being updated. Has anybody experieced such a problem?
Thank you in advance for your help

Hello,
I try to add an data extension who take the information to connect to the database in a config file. But It's could not retreive the values corresponding to the key.
I'm using the class ConfigurationManager from the namespace System.Configuration.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["QueryModel"]
Without the config file, the extension is working well.... I got the impression that reporting service and Visual Studio BI don't find the config file.
If someone can help me or have some advices. I will be pleased

Before I launch into a long description of the issue, I was wondering whether its possible to dynamically amend the file path held in a configuration string? (I'm looking at the Package Configurations Organizer)
Basically recreating the /CONF switch in the dtexec utility
So a parent package could somehow tell a child package to pull its configuration from a selection of different xml config files at run time... I couldn't see a variable in the child package to set from the former
My only idea at the moment is to replace the Execute Package Task with an Execute Process Task, and directly invoke the child using dtexec & an expression to dynamically set the /CONF switch..
thanks
James

I'm sure I'm not the only one frustrated trying to figure out which log file SSRS writes to when an error occurs. Does anybody know a sure way to tell? It doesn't change the date/time of the date modified, so you can't sort by date in windows explorer. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which file it writes to. For example, I had to go through 6 log files to find which one was being written to. I had thought (hoped) that it would always write to the log files with the latest embedded date/time stamp as part of the file name. It does not.
I'm tempted to start using a file system spy, or resort to other tactics. Does anyone have a sure fired way to see which log file is written to when an error occurs? I'm not talking about SQL Dump files - just "normal" errors when processing reports.
Thanks,
WillyDog

Hey guys,
I uploaded my website from VWD Express to ipower. My database did not work, which I have learned upon some research should have not been a shock to me, but most definetely was. When I contacted tech support they told my that my web.config files were pointing to my local paths. That I should change them and I should be fine. Elsewhere, in the knowledge base I found the strConnect that I am under the impression I need to use.
strConnect = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Server=SQL-A1; UID=account_username; PWD=account_password; Database=user_db_name" oSQLServer.Connect strServer,strLogin,strPwd
The problem is, I'm a complete newbie, learning as I go and I can't find anything on where or how I insert this into my web.config to correct my paths. IPower will not help with coding. I know my current connection string is in web.config in the appsettings, that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
So, could anyone show me how I go about putting this into my web.config? Examples are very helpful :]
On a side note, I've been reading that this is a common problem among newbies like myself. So, is changing these files actually going to work, or am I wasting my time? Also, before I get knee-deep into it, is the database-publishing kit put out by MS the way to go here?
Thanks for any and all replies, you guys are always awesome.

Hi the data connectionstring will be generated automatically in web.config file after dragging a data table from database into webpage.for example: <configuration> <add name="SQLProfileConnString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MSPetShop4Profile.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </> But what if I have to write the connectionString part myself, I mean where I can get the syntax of it?

I have a simple SSIS package which includes one Analysis Services Processing Task. I have created a connection manager object (cmo) and assigned it to the AS task. Within the cmo I selected a specific user name and
password to log on to the server with. Tested this [domain][user account] and it works. Now here is the problem. When I run the package either in debug mode or from a command line, the packages ignores the connection manager and
attemps to use the account I am logged into the server with.
Using a config file to hold the credentials does not work either. When DTEXEC is used, the package attempts to use the credientials used to log in to the server.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Hi All!
I've been struggling with a problem I have. When I use DTEXECUI to run a package and manually add the config file, it gets ignored and there is no warning as such.
Here's the set up:
1) create SSIS package that uses a DB connection
2) enable config, add XML config, export the connection string, disable config
3) edit config file, change connection string
4) open package from Windows Explorer (double click)
5) add config file created in step 3
All of that works fine, but there are times when it doesn't. I think it depends on the editor used in step 3. If I use textpad and "pretty format" the XML (from the huge one-line built from within Visual Studio), then sometimes the changes aren't picked up. I can tell this because the "default" server in development is not accessable in production. When we "reformatted" the XML back to one line, the correct server was connected to.
I have no idea what the problem with the formatted XML was. I thought it was CRLF vs LF, but I have at least one config that formatted that way and it works fine. My current thought is character encoding when using TextPad.
My biggest problem is that DTEXECUI doesn't tell you that the config file isn't going to be used. It just ignores the "bad" config format and goes on its merry way using the information in the package itself. That really scares me.
Has anyone else seen this? What is the problem being introduced into the config file?
Thanks,
Frank

I think I've read to many post and now I'm confused on what the exact syntax should be and where in the web config file for connecting to my remote database on the web. I have a SQL Server 2005 database on the web. It was imported by the host from the members ID and passwords database created in Express 2005 from the ASP.Net configuration
Here's the portion of the config file:
<configuration>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings/>
<system.web>
Here is the sample connection string my host provided:
DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=sqlserver5.loosefoot.com;UID=myadmin;PWD=Your Password;database=eldersmembers
Would someone show me exactly what and where the syntax for the connection string goes?
Thanks in advance

I am using package configurations to store connectionstring for my database.
While moving the package from development to production, I used the same configuration files (without changing the connection string to point the database to production one). I ran the package in production and it updated the development database.
Then I changed the config files in production to point it to the production database.
However, the packages are still pointing to dev. database.
It seems that after running the package one in Production, it is not reading the updated config file for subsequent runs.
How to I make sure that the packages now read the latest config files.

Hi All,
I am looking for help trying to configure an XML dtsconfig file, I am using different connection managers for my Source and Destination Databases, I am also using an XML dtsconfig file to set these parameters dynamically, however I dont want to use userid/password to connect to my source/destination databases and instead use trusted connection or windows authentication, I remember we had an option in earlier DTS where we could set it up as 0 or 1and use windows authentication, I cannot find this in the new SSIS package properties.
Appreciate your help in advance.

In my SSIS packages I'm adding a config file that is storing only the connection strings to the database. Though most of my packages are reading or writing out flat files as well as connecting to a db. Do I need to put both db connection string and flat file connection strings in the config file? I'm currently adding only the db connection due to that will change depending which environment its ran in, unlike the flat file location will always remain the same.
I just want to be sure I don't need both for my package to run successfully.

Hi all
This is the situation: I've a dtsx package wich creates a tab delimited txt file from a sql server 2005 databasetable. Now this all works just fine. But what I want to do is that the user can choose the destination path of that created txt-file. Right now I've declared the path when I created the flat file source.
On the net I found that a config file for a dts package (sql server 2000 - Dynamic Property Task) could do the trick...
Any help plz?
thx!

Currently we have a 1.1 app that sets the connection string as a Application variable, we are wanting to change that and place it in the web config file, when I do this in 2.0 it's a simple process but in 1.1 it's different. It doesnt seem to like the <connection string> tag, does it go in the appsettings tag and if so what should it look like and how is it referenced.

I would like to use one configuration file for multiple SSIS packages. How I want to do this is to save the connection string of my production server with the initial database field excluded and set that per package file. I am able to read in the configuration file into 2 different packages without issue but I cannot see how to extract the connection string into a ODBC Database Connection object in order to set the initial database. Is there some way I am not thinking of to do this, either through the designer or programatically?
Thanks for any help you all can provide! I am so n00b to SSIS.

Hello
I made certain changes in the properties in my Config file and by Change the ServerName and Database Name.
below is the example
When i execute the package it still runs. I mean theer is no server or database with that name but it still works.
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=UHS137;Initial Catalog=UH_IntegrationStaging;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
Changed to
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=NOSvr;Initial Catalog=NOdB;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
Then I created a new config file in which I checked in the box for ServerNam and when i change the name teher in the Config file
EXAMPLE
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ServerName]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>NoSvr</ConfiguredValue>
and when executed teh package its fails.
Thats what I neede
SO coming to my question.
1)What is it doing. I mean how is the package talking to this config file
2) Irrespective of what I do in the Connection String the package executes fine, which It should not do as far as my understanding goes. Why is it doesn't matter whats in String. where as it matter in later.

All,
I have several packages that all use the same DTSConfig file to map the OLEDB connections. This works fine in the development environment, however when i run a rebuild with Deployment set to true i get the error

at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DataTransformationsProjectBuilder.CreateDeploymentUtility(IOutputWindow outputWindow)
The DTSConfig file is included in the project under Misc in the development studio as all developers need to have access to the same config file.
The net result is that the MSI deployment package doesnt get built so we cannot do an automated delivery of the data.
Is there a work round or a setting that i can implement to remove the error?
TIA

I have manually imported my packages into SSIS (via StoredPackages/FileSystem/Import Package command). How can I utilize a ConfigFile with this package? I see that the ConfigFile can be selected when it is run (in dtexecUI ), but it doesn't "stick", and is only used for that particular run.
How can I point this manually imported package to the ConfigFile so everybody who runs it doesn't have to browse for the ConfigFile every time they run it?

Hi,
my configuration file provides parameters that are used for an SQL query in my package. However, for these parameters it must be possible to pass NULL to the query.
This seems to be impossible in SSIS..? If the config file provides no value, the package uses a default value - and this default value can not be null.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Regards
Jan
