I have a group of reports that are the same for 3 different companies, the difference is the data connection. Is there a way I can change the data connection based on a variable passed in at the time of report execution?
View 12 RepliesI have a report designed in RB3 that uses a data source from a SQL database that is on the report server. I want to add data to the report from an access database an a network drive.
I can add the second data source and create a data set to add data to the report. The dataset query returns data from the Access database but when I run the report I get the following error.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Feasibility'. (rsError OpeningConnection)
Also when I test the connection to the Access data base I get error ERROR (IM002) (Microsoft)(ODBC Driver Manger) Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
I noticed that Report Builder is connecting to the report server. If I disconnect from the report server I can a can connect to the Access data base but not the SQL database.
How can I get the report to run against both data sources?
All,
I apologize for not doing the legwork to see if i can answer my own question, but I am close to a loosely planned SQL 2005 migration and don't have time and resources to test my own theories.
Is there a way for a Reporting Services 2000 server to connect to SQL server 2005 databases? I've tried creating a new data source and changing a report to this data source, but it seems like the report is still using the old data source. I'm guessing i might need to register new data providers on the 2000 RS server and then change the existsing data sources.
Ideas?
Thx in advance,

Can anyone shed light on why I cannot get away from named pipes in my SQL2005 Reporting Services Data Sources? Can it not just use TCP/IP? My configuration uses two servers, one in which the reportserver is setup on, and another which hosts the database that is reported against. We are trying to avoid having to open up named pipes on the server that stores the data.
Any help would be appreciated.
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'wc_datasource'.
an error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Thanks!
I have a requirement where we have to connect to two different data-sources one is Database Table and another one is Excel Source. I know we can do this by creating a SSIS package and loading the excel data into database table and then based on some relationship between the tables we can create the data-set in SSRS. But I am looking for some other approach where I can do this without creating the SSIS package.

Hi My project is in .NET 2003 i.e. framework 1.1 and database in SQLServer 2000. But the reports have been developed using SQLServer 2005 Reporting Services. Now when I am trying to deploy them through deployment project of .NET its giving me following error:"Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. Now I am really confused with this. Can any one please guide me regarding this ASAP. Thanks, Falguni
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a report where in I have a combination of matrix ,table data regions.
The problem what I am facing is that the data tables don't remain fixed in their position and they tend to move down.
E.g. table 1 and table 2Â are on the same page in design time side by side (right and left)however during the runtime the table1 is pushed down and table2 is at its position .
Now how can I keep them all fixed in their same position. Most of the tables have fixed size rows and some who have high size of rows have been put at the end . What settings we can set?
Not sure if this is possible, here is the scope:
I have a vb program that calls a sp. My vb program connects to DataSource1, Catalog1 and to DataSource2, Catalog2. My sp resides in Catalog1 using a table from catalog1 and a table from catalog2.
Is this possible to do?
I'm using Reporting Services 2008 R2, version 10.50.2550.0, and Visual Studio 2008, version 9.0.30729.4462 QFE. Not sure if the SQL version matters, since I haven't gotten the report out of the development environment.I've read lots of messages, including URL.... that show you can have multiple data entries per row in a Range Bar Chart, simply by turning DrawSideBySide to False.My data set basically contains four pieces of data, LineNumber, Equipment, StartTime and EndTime. I have data like:
1, 'CLM1', 08:00, 08:30
1, 'CLM1', 09:00, 09:15
2, 'SS1', 08:05, 08:35
2, 'SS1', 09:05, 09:35
(I actually have a date with my datetime entries, but that should give you the idea.) My chart is set up with Values of EndTime and StartTime. If I set my chart up with only Equipment in the Category Groups entry, my chart will show CLM1 from 08:00-08:30, and SS1 from 08:05 to 08:35. No sign of the other entries per equipment, although I added a tablix to retrieve the same data and it all shows up.Changing DrawSideBySide between True, False and Auto has no effect on the data displayed on my chart. If I add StartTime in the Category Groups, I do show all the data, but one row for each piece of data, which isn't what the customer wants.From what I can tell from various sites, I'm set up right, but it just isn't working.
Hey everyone,
I am trying to combine like data from two different data sources into a single data set. Is there anyway I can do this? It seems like I can only add one data set, but is there some sort of workaround I could use?
thanks,

Hi,
I am new to Reporting Servies. I need to create a report that is shared by different offices, each office has it own database. So I will need to include multiple data sources. I want users to select their office first (parameter) and then based on their selection they can see the report with the data source from their office. Can I do it in one report. Or do I have to create multiple version of same report for each office. I would appreciate any help.
Regards,
Hasn
I have a query that pulls information from 2 different servers. I have created two shared data source now I need to connect them to my dataset.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

Hi,
Please help me.
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.
Thanks in advance.

Running SQL Server 2005, trying to develop an SSRS report to basically pivot a table of data with multiple columns.
Here's the basic source table:
Day   Cases  Referrals   Vends
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 291Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0
2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 293Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 293Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1
And I want to display it as:
Day            1      2       3
Cases        291   293  293
Referrals      0       1     1
Vends          0        0     1
I thought I could use a matrix for this but I can't seem to get it worked out. Is this even possible?
The Day number is meant to represent the day of the month and the user would input a start and ending date parameter.
Is there a best way of writing stored procedure to access data from multiple databases. we have an archive database and a live database. I need to retrieve the data from both and merge together, perform calculations and then display the data.
Thanks for any inputs.
ASP.NET on SQL ServerI've been asked to quote for developing a system to expose data on aweb application. Most of the data will come from SQL Server DBslocated on a single box. However, some of the data will be sourcedfrom ORACLE which is located on a different box. It may be necessaryto create VIEWS and Stored Procedures joining these DBsDoes anyone have any pointers, clues, hints, tips or pitfalls that Imight consider while making my proposal? What sort of extracontingency should I allow for the connection to ORACLE? Should I doall the data retrieval on the DB server, or should I do it on the Webserver?Any thoughts would be appreciated.ThanksWilliam Balmer

Am having difficulty with report/query parameters, where the report now regularly tells me that I must declare the scalar variable @Site.
I want to use 3 data sources :
1. to select a site from a list of sites - works fine and I can select at runtime
2. Once this is selected - I need to present a pair of dates to the user - min and max for data for the site - needs selection 1 to have been performed. Now I HAVE seen this work - once, the date selectors were greyed out until the site had been chosen, then they became available. Now I get the scalar variable error.
3. Finally I will pull the data with 3 parameters (site, startdate, enddate)
This was almost working, and the detail was produced for item 3, until I introduced the date selection option. Now neither item 2 or 3 will accept the users selected site - its from a drop-down.
All 3 queries are being performed by SQL SP's :
1. exec getsitelist - used to populate the dropdown to select @Site
2. exec getdates @Site - used to preset the start/end dates (NB I would really like calendar control here to select the date, with the value pulled from 1 to set the start point - but hey lets walk first ;-).
3. exec GetData @Site, @Start, @End
SOooo - can SSRS2005 even support dependent parameters of this type ??.
If so - whats the best way to create the parameters etc. ??. NB I can see all 3 parameter defs in 'Report Parameters'.
Many thanks - hopefully - for my sanity :-O.

I am using SQL RS 2005. I have a report that is using multiple data sources from different offices. I can add these data sources in my report but is it possible that I can select a specific data source based on a selected parameter value. In this case user from each office, select their office location and be able to see the data from their office. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I have multiple data sources that I would like to use for a single report. The data sources are separate due to security requirements. I have a table that I can get the Initial Catalog from. How do I get that field from the database into the data source connection string at run time?
I saw this link here but the light bulb didn't go off:

Hi,
In my project i want a report. In that report data is getting from more than one data sources(systems). While creating data source view i used named query for both primary and secondary data source. But at the time of crating "Report Model" i am getting below error.
An error occurred while executing a command.
Message: Invalid object name 'Table2'.
Command:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT SerialNum, ModelNum AS com_model
FROM Table2) t
Is there any way to create a report with multiple data sources?
I am using SSRS 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0 (10.50.4276.0) . I have simple set of data which has a persons Title and Name e.g. Mr Smith, Miss Jones, Doctor Foster
The report has a parameter where the user can select which records to show based on the matching titles (Mr, Miss, Doctor)
The Query for the report uses Title in (@Title) where @Title is the only parameter which can take multiple values. The report works correctly for any 1 value selected, but as soon as 2 or more values are ticked in the drop down, it fails.
I believe the parameter value is being passed into the query with a comma separating the values e.g. Mr,Miss which causes the IN statement to give an error, as the statement would be where Title IN ('Mr,Miss') which does not match any of the data values.
The parameter value passed needs to be 'Mr','Miss' for the IN statement to work. What statement do I have to put in the report query to get it to select any of the data rows where the title matches any 1 of the selected values?
I am have a situation to insert data from multiple sources to a single table.
i.e., multiple and concurrent insert on same table
Will it lead to dead lock at any point? is there any possibility?
How insert will work ? What is the architecture ? Any references to read?
I have 5 or more tables to join to get a particular output which has to be sent to a destination table. In the 5 tables some are inner joins and some are left outer join. I am opting for stored procedure at this point. But I would like to know how can this be done in data flow transformations having multiple souce and merge joins or any other alternates. I tried using merge join, but this does not accept more than two tables.
I saw this simple post which kick started me to use ssis transformations to stored procedures. But I encounter issue.

"The destination component does not have any available inputs for use in creating a path".

Hi,
I have the following scenario: N identical Databases (corresponding to different Fiscal Years, with names <Company Name>.<YEAR>). We want to consolidate the N DBs to a New Datawarehouse.
In SSIS we have designed a Dataflow that reads through a OLE DB Source (Connected to one of the N Databases) and maps to a OLE DB Destination (Connected to the NEW DB).
The question is, how we loop in SSIS through the N identical Connections, so to repeatedly execute the designed Dataflow, each time with a different Connection?
Thanks in Advance,

I have an issue with using multiple parameters in SQL Reporting services where data is passed in from a stored procedure
When running the report in design mode - I can type in a parameter sting and it runs fine
In the report preview screen I can select single parameters by ticking the drop down list and again it runs fine
as soon as I tick more than one I get an error
An error occurred during local report processing
Query execution failed for data set €˜data'
Must declare the scalar variable '@parameter'
Some info...
The dataset 'workshop' is using a sproc to return the data string?
I get multiple values back fine in the sproc using this piece of code
(select [str] from iter_charlist_to_table( @Parameter, DEFAULT) ))
I have report parameters set to Multi-Value
Looking through the online books it says...
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create.
However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied:
The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services.
The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure.
The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.
Am I trying to do the impossible ?
Hi:
I have a data flow task in which there is a OLEDB source, derived column item, and a oledb destination. My source is a SQL command, that returns some values. I have some values, that I define in the derived columns, and set default values under the expression column. My question is, I also have some destination columns which in my OLEDB destination need another SQL command. How would I do that? Can I attach two or more OLEDB sources to one destination? How would I accomplish that? Thanks

@mit
I have an excel file that has multiple sheets and I need to import data from each separate sheet to a separate table using SSIS.Â
E.g. Sheet A data should go to Table A and Sheet B data should go to Table B and so on. Is it possible to do this with out using script task.
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
dispaly(ID, NAME_AR, JobTitle_AR)Â
Hint:this done pragmatically
how to do this in reporting services.
Hi!
We have multiple databases (1 per client) and we want to use reporting services for ad-hoc reporting. Our authentication is done by using client's database so security is custom.
What is the best way to set this up? Is it possible to somehow allow users/admins to use only their database and never see any others? I know we can install a separate instance of RS and do that but I am wondering if there is a better way to run multiple clients doing different reports using exclusively their databases without having to create a new instance.
Thanks
