Reporting Services :: SSRS Printing - Need To Install ActiveX
Aug 24, 2015
We have SSRS reports hosted on a terminal server. When user clicks PRINT button, there is a prompt "Printing is not available. Verify that ActiveX is enabled,..." When logs on as Admin, we can install this ActiveX, however normal users won't have the privilege.
I am setting up sharepoint and sql server integration environment. I am considering the following topology: PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 and Reporting Services in SharePoint mode Two Server Deployment
[URL]
I am looking to follow the topology example by the letter, which involves installing PowerPivot for SharePoint (aka SSAS in SharePoint mode) in the same server as my SQL, and installing SSRS in SharePoint (SP) integrated mode in the same server as SharePoint.
I understand, however, that if I wanted to install SSRS in SP mode in the same server as SQL, I could but only if the server contains the SP Object Model.
My first question is, what would involve having the SP Object Model in the SQL Server?
Would only installing SP binaries be enough; or Do I need to do a minimal install of SP in the SQL server enough for it to joing the SP farm? And most importantly, what would be the licensing implications for SP in case I want proceed down this route and have SSRS in SharePoint mode installed in the same server as the SQL?
We have never been able to get the printing to work on any of our reports using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 SP2 in our production environment. Without this feature of printing a report, we cannot go live with SSRS at all.
We have tried adding the SP2 after a clean install on a new server -- yet we still have this problem.
I read a few some posts about uninstall the old ActiveX control used for printing, so I did this and installed the new one but that didn't help either.
We can print to files without issue - only when we try to print to a real printer does it hang forever.
It doesn't matter how big the report is, 100 pages or 1/4 of a page, same problem.
We do the following:
1) Run the report 2) Click the print button 3) Select a printer and press ok 4) "Printing Now..." dialog box appears 5) "Print Error" dialog appears and never goes away - and nothing is printed out. Have to close IE and crash the report session to get out of it.
This is the result on every client computer we have ever used in trying to access the report server.
It also hangs in running a Print Preview for all reports.
We are printing to network printers from IE6 and IE7.
Since this is on a server, we do not have a local printer to this server computer to try to print to. Even if it worked on a local printer, this is supposed to be an enterprise solution. Almost all of our employees print to network printers.
I am logged into my machine as a domain admin. I have no printing problems in any program printing to any printer, except when using Reporting Services.
We are trying to print from an ASP web application which runs the reports in an iframe using URL access.
We are able to print the same reports on all of our development environments using the same ASP web application and RDL.
I have been working on this problem for days. I have a report that is grouped and will be printed duplex (front and back). There is a page break after each group. I want to ensure that the start of a new group does not end up printed on the back side of an old group. For example:
Page 1 (printed on front side of paper): group 1 Page 2 (printed on back side of paper): more group 1 Page 3 (printed on front side of paper): more group 1 Page 4 (printed on on back side of paper): group 2 <--- This is a problem
I need:
Page 1 (front side): group 1 Page 2 (back side): more group 1 Page 3 (front side): more group 1 Page 4 (back side): <This Page Intentionally Left Blank> Page 5 (front side): group 2
Issues that I've run into include the fact that SSRS renders the entire body first, before rendering the header/footer. This prevents the body of the report from knowing which page it will end up on when it is rendered (and is also why you cannot reference Globals!PageNumber from the body).
The restriction above also prevents using a variable in custom code to know when to generate a page break. If you set this variable in the header/footer then the body will never see it as the entire body is rendered first and will therefore only see the initial state of the variable.
I have seen this issue posted in a number of places, but no one ever has a solution to this (except switching back to Crystal Reports). Have any MVPs ever addressed this issue? I am really hoping someone can offer a good solution or work-around.
I have reports, set to print on Landscape and Legal ie 14 * 8.5. However, when certain users try to print the report, it prints it in Letter, even though the report is set to print in legal /landscape.
The strange part is that for most users it prints correctly in legal, only for some it is on letter. Any idea why this would happen?
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 a report that is a little wide, and when I export it to an Excel file it spans about 2 pages. I have it set to an 8.5 height and 11 width for printing in landscape on normal-sized paper. But is there a way to make sure that the report exports with the printing page break covering the entire width so that the report prints only one page across? The users don't want to resize in Excel before printing.
I must confess it has been a long time since I have done any SSRS reporting. I have the following SQL Statement (I will change it to a stored Procedure with parameters once I get the design done):
SELECT rc.wo_id, rc.process_id, rc.item_id, rc.lot_no AS full_lot_no, rc.oper_id, rc.seq_no, CAST(la.attr_value AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS weight,
[Code] ....
This gives me the data I want which looks like this:
The grouping is on the Rework ID. Any of the pieces can be put on any rework route. As you can see, there are 4 routes, but 5 pieces. What I need is for each rework ID to be printed on its own paper even if there is only 1 record for the route. So I would expect 4 pieces of paper, 3 with 1 record, the 4th with two pieces. Is there a setting in the Tablix or report that I can set, or is there an expression I can use?
I have a local report for which i am binding the Dataset dynamically. I am trying to print this report using a seperate button on the page. I saw in the forums saying that the reportviewer can be converted to an EMF file, bind this to an image control and can Print this image using Javascript.
Can anyone help me with the sample code to print local report from the reportviewer (it may be in any approach.)
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 am trying to print a report in landscape mode from VS 2003 from designer preview or at run time. The users don't want to change a mode manually. I tried to make width 11 or 11.5 in and height 8.5in with zero margins and 0.5in (tried a lot of combinations) - doesn't work! still printing in portrait. Please help! Thank you
As most are aware by now, the Report Viewer controls for reporting services in 12.0 and prior rely on ActiveX to work. This causes compatibility issues for any non-IE browser, and as of IE11 and now Windows 10 Edge browser it's causing issues for even IE. Research suggests that SSRS 2014 switched out to Silverlight:
[URL]
However, Silverlight uses NPAPI which is another technology for which all browsers are ending support. As of this writing, Chrome has already ended support. Similarly/Coincidentally Java support is ending as well.
My question is, what are Microsoft's plan to restore functionality such as print/search for browsers where ActiveX/Silverlight cannot be used since this support is no longer strictly a 3rd party browser situation?
I have some problem about reporting service add-in.
After I install reporting service add-in for SharePoint, reporting service menu does not appear in Application Management Tab in SharePoint Central Administration.
I try to uninstall and re-install again, it remain not work.
We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.
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.
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.
Hi,I'm running Windows XP and SQL Server Developer Edition (sp3) and I'm tryingto install the MS SQL Server Reporting Services that is in the MSDN of April2004. I also have Visual studio.net installed.So when I run the CD all goes well until you specify the database for thereporting server and then I get the following error:"This edition of the Report Server Database is not supported on the editionof SQL Server 2000 you have chosen. Please choose on that matches therequirements."MS Requirements are SQL 2000 Standard, SQL 2000 Enterprise, and SQL 2000Developer edition.What does this mean, any comments or feedback will be greately appreciated.- Sergio
How can I install SQL2005 Reporting Services to a local pc? I have a WindowsXP workstation and want to be able to report from SQL databases, and am having a very hard time understanding what is necessary to get to the Reporting Services. I loaded the SQL2005 cd, but when it got to the Components to Install screen, Reporting Services was grayed out and not able to be selected. The SQL databases are maintained on a separate server apart from my workstation. MS Access 2000 is loaded on the computer and I know I can make pass-through queries for reporting, but I really would like to move to SQL2005. I just do not know where to go next. Thanks for any help. Dan
I may be a fool, I installed Sql 2005 on my dev box, and I forgot to check reporting services. Anyway how can I install reporting services once I have installed Sql Server? I tried re-runing setup but I did not see a reporting services option as an option. I am sure I am just missing something simple.
We are having a bit of a disagreement of where to install reporting services within work, and i would like some input.
Basically there are two views.
1. We leave reporting Services running on one of our current servers, and reference it through the report viewer, using http. I think the firewall is setup to do this internally. The websites will then use the control to access the reports.
2. We have reporting services on our external DMZ where all our websites reside.
I have argued for number 1, becuase mainly of memory usage and problems it can cause to servers performance wise.
I am trying to configure Reporting Services on a server which is not the database server. I keepo getting a message telling me I am not authorized to access the Report Manager or Report Server virtual directories... no matter what user and pass I enter.
How do I get this to work? Remember Reporting Services is installed on a server separate from the databsae server.
Hey everyone...I'm completely new to SQL Server and I'm trying to learn the Reporting Services tool. I just installed SQL Server 2005 and selected to install all the options, atleast I'm 99.99% sure I did.
When I go to launch Report Services Configuration, I get "No report servers were found on the specified machine. Details: Invalid namespace". Do I need IIS for this to work?
Also, I do not think the AdventureWorks database was installed, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have tried to go back through and reinstall it, but it says that it is already installed.
Also, is there a certain order that you are supposed to install things? i.e. SQL Server before Visual Studios?
Thanks in advance.
*Edit* BTW, I'm using Windows XP, SQL Server Enterprise Edition, and VS.NET 2005.
Is it possible to have my pop up SSRS box size according to the size of the returned value? Issue is, i have a text box that returns a note field and depending on the number of notes, it can and will vary in size. I am currently using this code
I am using IIS6 and installed Reporting Services on http://myWebsite in IIS. This works fine and I can access http://myWebsite/ReportServer and http://myWebsite/Reports
My problem is that I also need Reporting Services on another website in IIS6. I have a website http://www.myothersite.com which I also need Reporting Services on. I created two virtual directories (Reports,ReportServer) that point to the same directories as which the original Reporting Services site does, but it doesn't work. I get "You are not authorized to view this page message in IE." when I view http://www.myothersite.com/ReportViewer in my browser
I am trying to install sql express advanced services. I already have sql installed on one machine and removed it from another machine completely. When installing on both machines I only get two main components when the list comes up. I have uncheck (or checked) to show all components. There is no "Reporting Services" listed. I am downloading the sqlexpress_adv.exe file from microsoft. Please, how do you install the reporting services? It is not in the list of components to install!!!
I am intalling SQL 2000 Reporting Services on my Development Machine. Win Xp, VS .Net 2005 & VS .Net 2003. I do have ASP .NET 1.1 & 2.I am frustated even though I have ASP .NET 1.1 installed it kept complaining that it is not installed. I also tried registering ASP .NET 1.1 version through Visual Studio command Prompt.
Still it is complaining that I don't have ASP .NET 1.1
