Reporting Services Log File Roulette - How To Tell Which Log File SSRS Is Writing To For Errors?
Mar 13, 2007
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.
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.
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 BIDS 2012.I am getting this error: Unable to load assembly U2.

I am expecting C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v4.0.30319configmachine.config
how can I force SSRS to use "C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v4.0.30319configmachine.config".
I'm trying to use SQL Server Reporting Services (SQL Server 2008 R2) to produce a CSV file. Row 1 in the CSV has to be a summary row with 8 columns. The detail rows which follow have 24 columns. The data in the summary row is "static" except for a date, a count of detail rows, and a total amount due based on the detail rows that follow. Here's an example of what we need it to look like:
HDR,4242,0,1,20150203,25,I,25823.18,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, DTL,4242,0,1,20150203,255092,20150129,989,C,Net 0,Due Upon Receipt,12703,Some Super Customer,1001 Grandview Dr,,SomeCity,TX,US,75012,9729990000,,,, DTL,4242,0,1,20150203,255093,20150129,1360,C,Net 0,Due Upon Receipt,23774,Another Awesome Customer,52 Six Flags Dr,,DeepInTheHeart,TX,US,76006,8174445555,,,,
I've been able to get the report itself to render correctly in Visual Studio or from a browser using several different approaches but they all fail in one way or another when I try to save it as a CSV (eg, a header is prepended to each detail so they end up side by side, header and detail end up with extra columns, etc).
I am creating a SSRS report which would be executed by User manually through ReportServer URL.User would be generating the SSRS report for different Customer ID based on ad-hoc basis.
I am passing CustomerID as input parameter to the report. Is there any way to get the manually generated SSRS report name as 'Report_CustomerID_TodayDate.xls'.
E.g.If User is generating report for Customer ID 123 today then report name should be 'Report_123_07092013.xls'
When I use an SSAS cube in Excel the command text is just the name of the cube itself and does not require an MDX query. Is it possible in SSRS to avoid writing an MDX query?
I have a package in which there are only one Data flow Task and it has only three components. 1) Source , which is a SQL db 2) destination and 3) OLE DB Destination flat file Error output file. I want the error file to be created ONLY if there is any error while dumping the data into destination DB. But , the issue is, the error flat file is being created inspite of No error while dumping the data from Source to Destination.
This is making the heatmap look at the whole dataset instead of just what I am grouping by. Within the Dataset there are Regions and Credit Unions. Since the Dataset is looking at an entire region, the heatmap is coloring based on all data for the region. I need to heatmap to color based on the Credit Unions in that region. The Credit Unions are a group. I need the group to be the value it is referencing in the heat map and not "DataSet1". I have been told to use scope or a variable but cannot get it to work correctly.
User 'domainuserName' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
I have created a custom library(CodeLibrary) which internally references the dlls Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client and Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.
I added this custom Dll codelibrary.dll to my SSRS report. and the expression of one of the field as
=codelibrary.codefunction.GetValue(1000) codefunction is the class and GetValue is the method.
When I preview the report, I get the error "Error while loading code module:
'CodeLibrary,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null'. Could not load file or assembly 'CodeLibrary,Version1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
I am using VS2013, I have placed the custom library DLL in the path
C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 12.0Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies
I have tested the custom library with a WPF application and it works fine.
I am not able to figure out what is causing this error.
I'm working on a report to show financial transactions from a table over a certain period. For most transactions there is a PDF document that is stored in a separate table in a binairy format. In my report I would like to include a link on every line with transaction information in the report that opens the PDF that is linked to that transaction. Just to be clear, I don't want to embed the PDF in the report but I want the users of the report to have the option to view the PDF that is related to that transaction in their standard pdf reader (adobe).
Code to do the following:
Once a user clicks on the link to view the PDF I need the code to get the binairy data of the PDF file from the table, convert it back to a PDF and open it in the default pdf reader (for example adobe reader). If it can't directly open the file then it's maybe possible to activate the 'open or download' pop up that you also get when you download something from a website.
I have a report that uses a stored procedure as a dataset.The stored procedure accepts four parameters, which I have defined in the report. works fine in query builder and SSMS.
When I run the report I get an error stating a parameter is missing. I tried deleting parameters and recreating not luck.
Hi all, I have the "Northwind" database in my Sql Server Management Studio Express.

'Northwind' scripting variable not defined. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server L1P2P3SQLEXPRESS, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near '$'. 'CompanyName' scripting variable not defined. 'Shippers' scripting variable not defined. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server L1P2P3SQLEXPRESS, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near 'CompanyName'.
I copied these T-SQL statements from a book and I do not know how to correct them. Please help and tell me how to correct these errors.
Does any one know a simple way of changing the delimiter value for a CSV report delivered via email from SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services? The default is comma. From the research I've done it seems that it can be done by writing a VB script that calls the Render method, but I'm not a developer and it seems crazy to have to go to those lengths just to change one attribute of a rendering extension that is available out-of-the-box. I hoped that I would be able to change a value in a config file (e,g, RSReportServer.config), but this seems not to be the case.
Does anyone know how i can go about merging preexisting pdf files and SQL server reporting services output. Can this be done in reporting services? For example, I have 5 pages from a pdf files which is created from another 3rd party software provider. I then i have output from sql reporting services. How can i merge these two outputs and deliver it over .Net/ ASP framework?
When I am saving a SSRS report in excel format in a shared network drive, how can I add the date extension to the filename ?I assume this is something that needs to be handled within the SSRS reporting side rather than the subscription side.
When I am working on an Integrations Services project and I open a Reporting Services file, it displays it in the Code view. Is there a way to display it in the Design view? Or do I have to close the project and open up a Reporting Services project?
during period of troubles connecting to Local Servers and Sites location i.e., to [URL], the place where all Reports are saved by default, I have continued to work on some Reports that have been saved to file system of my localhost/developing machine. But, upon recovery of http location, I can not see/open those files?
how to approach those files in order to open them in Report Builder 3.0 and thus, to "save as" them to the http location? Seems that Report Builder has chosen that location, by default, somehow.....

Using SSRS 2008R2 is it possible to change the file extension of a CSV data driven subscription? I'm outputting a text file with a .csv extension, but users have access to these files and I don;t want them opened with Excel and then saved back in an incorrect format.
These are the options I have from the report "manage" option.
I have reports developed in SQL Server 2005 (.rdl file) and using report viewer in my ASPX page.Now we have upgraded SQL Server 2005 to 2012, how I can use exsisting .rdl file or what change I need to do.
how can i dynamically specify the name of a report before sending in an email (example @reportName@datetime@parameter1@ServerName)
I have read most of the related articles and i am still curious about this topic - the technology is there so why wouldn't microsoft just add a REPORTNAME field to the email data driven subscription?
I have report which accepts a card number and fromdate and todate as parameters to the report. This report needs to be sent on a quarterly basis to each of the customer mail id to which their card number is linked. I am getting all this information from a database and sending as an attachment to the customer. Now I would need making these filename's which are attached to be dynamic based on the input parameters.
In datadriven subscriptions, the option of include report has only true or false values and another option was to take from a database. I tried putting the dynamic file name in the database and getting the value from the database but no success, the subscription itself is failing here. I guess I am doing something wrong here by binding the report name from the value which I am getting from DB to the actual report name.
If report name = Mytransactions, and the parameters passed are Card = 123,fromdate = 1/1/2010,todate = 31/3/2010.
Now in the attachment the file name should be something like "Mytransactions_123_January1st2010_March31st2010". How to make the filename dynamic.
I have to generate reports in Excel formats.I send the appropriate content type through header() function of PHP.But I can't get the <td> colors when using css sheets. Following problem occurs: 1. Image doesn't come. 2.<td> does'nt take css style. Following is the code snippet:
I have a data flow task where I have to write to a flat file. It works fine for me. But the thing is next timeI run the package it must write the data in the OLDEB source to a different copy. Usually the data is overwritten or appended to already existing data. What I want is everytime the package is run the data must be written to a different copy.
