We are using Notification services of SQL Server 2005 in our application. The scenario is that mails will be sent to customers based on different criteria like New Invoices, Overdue Invoices, Invoices due in certain number of days, Invoices for which Amount Exceeds certain value etc. We are using two stored procedures and two tables to achieve this. One stored proc inserts/updates data related to different notifications that are selected by customers. Another stored proc inserts or updates data related to customers who created the notification.
We are now planning to upgrade from SQL 2005 to SQL server 2012. Since notification services are no longer supported in SQL 2012, we are looking for other alternatives. Which among the below would be the best alternative to replace notification services for our scenario. Also, anyny documentation or useful links which would support us in replacing notification services.
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'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.
One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:
Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets? Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?
Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.

Hi,I am a newbee to sql server. I know there is a tool calledNotification Services. I want to set up notification for specificentries in sql server table.Thanks a lot for your guidance.AJ
We are upgrading a Windows 2003 system with SQL Server 2000 and we've been seeing the notification services .net dll fail to install. The error that is displayed has a internet lookup to Microsoft. When we lookup the error it mentions that MS DTC needs to be started for the notification services to be installed. We re-imaged the box and verified it was running prior to the install of SQL 2005. Anyone have any ideas why this error is occurring?
Is there any way around among SQL Server 2005 enhancements that provide something
similar to the event notifications effect? Notification Service is not supported on SQL Server 2005 Express; common problem with what I am trying to do is, for example: I want to produce event each time that row has been inserted into the table that would reach each of multiple users
using multiple instances of application that all connect to the same Express database;
one way to do this would be to use triggers on insert on the table, that could perhaps
insert appropriate row into some temporary table, and then read on timer that temporary table and fire event for each active user...
However, I was wondering if there was some other, perhaps lighter and built-in mechanism on Express that I could use?
Does SQLExpress support notification services? I read all kind of opposite statements. Some websites say they are supproted, other websites say it's not included.
Hi, I have just install SQL 2005 SP2 and trying to get Window SharePoint Services V3 integrated with SQL 2005 SP2 reporting services. In SharePoint Central Administration, I select the Reporting Services Integration page and have setup the Report Server Web Service URL and Authentication Mode. I then goto Grant database access, specify the SQL server name, get promted for a username and password that has access SQL Reportserver and get the following error "The group name could not be found" Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
We built our prod server [vm] with SQL Server 2008 R2 on Server 2008 R2. It works nicely. Then we made a copy of the VM and renamed it (so our test environment would be IDENTICAL to production). After that, SSRS was broken: I get "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." I can't connect via http, or SSMS.
We have tried:
* Running SSRS config tool (several times)
* Running with/without the IIS Server Role
* Dropping & recreating the SSRS keys
* Recreating the ReportServer database, etc
* Checking all of the accounts, permissions, etc
* Running SQL Repair
* Going through the registry to fix any references to the machine's old name
* Uninstalling, reinstalling SSRS
* Completely uninstalling ALL of the parts of SQL Server 2008 R2, deleting all directories, removing references to SQL Server from the registry, rebooting, reinstalling everything.
None of this has worked. SSRS [R2] is still 503 on our test box.
the SSRS [NT] service seems to run, without error. The Event Viewer doesn't seem to be recording any errors. The SSRS logs say that the default URL is wrong, but we get the same error in Prod, and Prod works fine. The other SQL Logs say something about not being able to contact the service. However, as I said, the [NT] service seems to be working fine.
I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible -
I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error:
"The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension.. Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)"
Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows. Another forum post mentioned using the SQL 9.0 driver, but I can't see this listed anywhere (the only one I see is the .NET framework Data Provider for Microsoft Analysis Services).
Here's what my query looks like -
SELECT { [Time].[Month].&[2006-09-01T00:00:00] , [Time].[Month].&[2006-10-01T00:00:00], [Time].[Month].&[2006-11-01T00:00:00], [Time].[Month].&[2006-12-01T00:00:00] } on COLUMNS, { [Measures].[Unique Users], [Measures].[UU Pct 1], [Measures].[UU Pct 2], } ON ROWS FROM [Cube]
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?
I'm using Reporting Services 2005 SP1 and wrote some code to render reports server-side. My sample report has few parameters that must be passed so I pass these parameters with code.
byte[] report = rs.Render("PDF", "<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>", out extension, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamID); </My code>
Actually, I have several more parameters but I've checked the collection and all the parameters I want are there and have values. Their names match those found in executionInfo.Parameters. But when I run my code I get the following error on Render():
<Error> "This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value." </Error>
I've double-checked and my parameter array does have the problematic parameter, I passed it a value but when I check executionInfo.Parameters I see that it's the only parameter that hasn't been give a default value after calling SetExecutionParameters(). So my parameters do seem to be passed but one seems to refuse getting a value. If I comment out the SetExecutionParameters() line I get, as expected a similar error but on another parameter (first one in the executionInfo.Parameters collection). So I'm left to beleive that the SetExecutionParameters() has some kind of bug as it works for all but one parameter. I've checked casing, spelling, tried passing phony parameters and from what I've seen I should be getting an error when I pass the parameters if I got something wrong.
I am invoking RS web services to render reports, using Apache Axis to generate stub classes from Reporting Service WSDL.
Please let me know if I can integrate Report Viewer control in the jsp where I am writing the report output. Else do I have to create my own custom tags simulating ReportViewer functionality.
My requirement for the parameter is multivalue parameter with a text box. for example when user enters aa15 it need to include product aa15. when the user enters aa15, aa16, zz15 than it needs to include all the three products. the last case is when the user enters AA** than i need to inclued all the products start with AA. when i use default multivalue parameter with data source analytical services than i am getting a drop down box. I dont want that. I need a text box where user can enter the value. 1. In sql we have a like key word to query . for example select * from product where product like "AA%". what is equavalent mdx query to get such results ? 2.How to impliment the multivalue parameters without using dropdown box?
I am facing sever Refresh issue in PPS Reports. I have Two Dashboard
Dashboard_One and Dashboard_Two
I have few Filters on both the Dashboard .
In Dashboard_One I have 2 Filters
1)Year filter where Year 2012 is my Default value 2)City Filter where "CityOne" is Default Filter Value
If I select Year"2010" in Period Filter and "CityTwo" In City Filter.I see Related reports . Now I navigate to Dashboard_Two to See Other Reports where I have few Other Filter Like "Country" where I select "CountryThree" . When I navigate Back to Dashboard_one I do not see Dashboard with Default value given to them
I still see Filter value Year=2010 and CountryFilter="CountryTwo" in Dashboard Dashboard_One .. where as I should have seen it based on the Default value given to the Filter.. How should I resolve this refresh issue which I am facing in PPS Dashboard. I do not see Default value in the Filter ,It always give the filter value which was selected later when Navigated back.
Hello,I'm following the tutorial for setting up notification services, available here: ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/sqltut9/html/44aa0556-b9c2-48f5-8775-134bbe0b90aa.htm. Where it says:Update the Instance of Notification Services After you modify the ADF, you update the instance of Notification Services to add event class objects to the application database:
In Object Explorer, expand Notification Services. Right-click Tutorial, point to Tasks, and then select Update. In the Update Instance dialog, click Browse, browse to the TutorialICF.xml file, and then click Open. In the Parameters grid, enter values for the _ServerName_, _DBEngineInstance_, and _InstancePath_ parameters. Use the same values you used to create the instance. Click OK. Review the Notification Services - Update Summary dialog box, and then click Update. When the update actions complete, click Close. I'm getting the error: The instance must be disabled before it can be updated or upgraded. How do I do that?Thanks.
I just wondered that now SQL Mail is classed as a legacy solution for email, does anyone know how to set up Notification Services to send email once a job has completed e.g. Backup or reindex?
I have tried to find a tutorial but with no joy so far!
I am trying to do custom log provider that will post events to Notification Services...The idea is that if I could post the "SSIS events" to Notification Services, with a Custom Delivery Channel in NS, I would be able to do NS Subscriptions with real time monitoring of SSIS packages..
I have tried to use the sample custom log provider code in MSDN. The problem is after I added the custom log provider dll to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSLogProviders folder and install to global assembly using gacutil...
The custom log provider is not showing up in the Provider Type under Configure SSIS logs...
I have been going over the samples from PDC 2005 and trying to run the External Activator program in section 2 'CLR Services'. After sending a message to the Inventory Queue, I see that 'dm_broker_queue_monitors' table has a row in the table, with the state column shown as 'NOTIFIED', but the ExternalActivator program never gets notified of the event and therefore never launches the 'InventoryServer' program.
Querying the [ExternalActivatorQueue] shows no rows.
Querying the [Inventory Queue] shows messages are waiting to be received.
Executing the 'activator' command in the ExternalActviator program shows
Notification service 'ExternalActivator' on SQL Server 'DBSERVER' and Database 'In ventory' is connected to the database and working.
I'm trying to reinstall SQL Server 2005 STD but I cannot get Setup to install Integration Services or Notification Services. I looked in the log and this is what I found. Needless to say, it makes no sense to me. It seems that Setup is trying to find a missing source list for a certain product. I have no clue what that product is. I've spent endless hours trying to figure it out and I'm still drawing a blank. This is a printout of the log.

i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
I work in a big project and we will begin in using reporting services as the base technique for reports and I will be responsible for this part. but I have a problem I will discuss in the following:
Currently: We use currently devexpress reports and we have 2 languages(Arabic and English). the data in tables saved in two ways (Arabic and English). when the end user change the language of the web site the report data language changed when run it.
Example:
we have table with (ID, NAME_AR, NAME_EN, JobTitle_AR, JobTitle_EN). designed report will display(ID, NAME_EN, JobTitle_EN) . but the end user change the language of the system the report will
We are installing 2 instances of sql server in cluster env.
When intalling "Default" instance, I m getting Notification services, Integration, reporting services for default instance.
My question is : When we intall second named instance on cluster, will named instance share Notification services, Integration, reporting services with default instace.
So if above is yes, do I have to install Notification services, Integration, reporting services on C: drive of cluster nodes, so that it is shared by all the instances on the cluster nodes.
