I have a windows NT service, which prints to a laser printer programmatically using MSRS 2K. It works fine with a HP printer however when I try printing to a Lexmark Printer it does not always print. Somebody help. Microsoft please release a latest patch for MSRS 2K, its been so long since we had one.
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.
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
Anybody please help me about the printer. I have a user want to print the letter from tray3, he slects the tray3, but it always print from tray2. I tried by myself. It is the same thing. Anybody can help me?
1. I would like to print one of my database to a printer, how can I do that? 2. I would like to transfer one of my database to Microsoft Excel 97/2000, how can I do that?
Is there a way to route a file directly to a printer? I have a process that creates PDF file in a known location and I would like to route them directly to the printer after creation.
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(@"C: est est.txt")) { using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs)) { sw.WriteLine("******************");
try { Stream streamTemp = (Stream)testFiles[0].Data; byte [] byteData = new byte[streamTemp.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < byteData.Length; i++) { byteData[ i ] = (byte)streamTemp.ReadByte(); }
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteData)) { string result = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray()); sw.WriteLine(result); } } catch (Exception ex) { sw.WriteLine(ex.Message); }
sw.Flush(); } }
After I re-deploy the modified assembly and create a simple subscription, it fires, and there are no exceptions. But instead of some good-looking XML in the test.txt file, I get this:
[Actually, there are much more slashes, but I am showing just the beginning of the file - for brevity...]
When I run this report in ReportManager and export it as "XML file with report data", that XML exported file looks exactly as I expect it to. So, the data is there, in the report, but how do I extract it?
I've been trying to figure out why I am not getting the real content of the report in XML format. Maybe, this line is wrong: RenderedOutputFile[] testFiles = notification.Report.Render("XML", deviceInfo); AND/OR this line is wrong: deviceInfo = String.Format(................etc. AND/OR I am using a wrong method for converting the Stream to a string. ...or, something else?
Could someone kindly help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, please?

I am looking for a way to remove the printer symbol from the report manger because it dows not work on some client machines because they are locked down. For us it is completely sufficient to export to PDF.
Is there a setting or an entry in the web config or something else. A hint would be helpful
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?
We have installed SQL Server 2005 with reporting services.When tried to open getting errors as below: how to avoid such errors See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

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.
I have installed the printer delivery sample and made the changes to the config files as described in the documentation but can only see it available as an option in the data driven subscriptions section. Anyone know how I can get it to show up in the standard subscriptions option?
The service pack for Visual Studio has fixed the problem when I print my report from VS, however when I deploy and print my reports from the SSRS website they are still incorrect.
My SSRS server is running SQL 2005 with service pack 2 installed and the 9.00.3152 9333097 Cumulative hotfix package (build 3152) for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 also applied.
I find it hard to believe the problem was fixed in the developer tool but NOT in the client tool?
How can I develop reports when the output from the developer tool is different to the output from the client tool?
For example I specify a box to be 5cm wide, and when printed from visual studio it is 5cm wide, but when printed from the SSRS website it is not 5cm wide!
Hello, I am trying to get a SSRS 2005 report to print from my Visual Studio 2005 C++ application without using the ReportViewer to preview it first. What I have done is created a dll that I call into when I want to access a certain report and print it. While searching around on the internet I found an MSDN article about printing a report without previewing and it had an example in C# code. So I used that as a guide for my C++ code but I am still having problems with rendering the report properly so it can be printed. When I try to render a report using the "Image" format, my streamid string is empty but the byte array that the render routine returns is not. Here is the code I am using, what could be the problem here?
Note: m_Streams is define elsewhere as array<String^>^ m_Streams = gcnew array<String^>(10);
Very strange problem here with Reporting Services SQL 2005 SP1 with latest patch KB 918222 on Windows Server 2003 SP1. The clients PC are Windows XP both SP1 and SP2 and that's not affecting our problems.
When my default printer is set to the "Printer 1" (HP LaserJet 9000), when i look a report's into the Report Viewer and i click on the print button (printer image button that use the ActiveX RSClientPrint), i let the default printer to "Printer 1". In this case, the report is printed correctly.
Again with my default printer set to "Printer 1", i look the same report into the Report Viewer and i click on the print button again. This time i select another printer "Printer 2" (an older HP LaserJet 8000 DN) and the report is printed correctly.
Now the problem is when i set the "Printer 2" as default printer. If i go to the Report Viewer and i click on the print button for the same report that was printed correctly before, now the report seem's to be ok into the preview before i print, but when i send the job to the "Printer 2" the report require a unknown paper format, so the "Printer 2" ask paper into the tray 1 (manual feed) and the result of the printed report is not good. The right and the bottom seem's to be cutted. I tried to reduce the report dimension without good results. The report is always cutted to right and bottom and the printer ask paper into the tray 1 (unknown paper).
Is't not the end, if i print the same report on the "Printer 1" when the default printer is "Printer 2", the report is printed correctly.
I have tried to use another printer than the "Printer 2" to see if the problem is the printer. I tried the "Printer 3" (HP LaserJet 9050) as default printer, i print the report on this one and i have the same problem than with the "Printer 2". And if i set "Printer 1" as default and i print on the "Printer 3" the report is printing correctly.
For all the printers i have the latest drivers. The same problem is occuring on all other PC other than mine.
We have checked the printers configuration and all seem's to have the same configuration.
Can this be a bug with the ActiveX RSClientPrint or what ?
Note that all previews before printing are good with all printers, but with the "Printer 2" and "Printer 3" set to default, the printed report was not the one i saw into the Preview.
Below a link to a sample report that we have. All our reports have the same global dimensions.
My company has a .Net app that embeds the reportwriter for displaying (and printing) reports. This seems to work fine visa vis printing reports in landscape mode, although odly if you look at the printer properties it SAYS it is priting in portrait. In any case, the problem comes when this default reportwriter isn't used but rather an rdl file is generated programmatically. No matter what width and height settings we use, the document unfailingly prints in portrait mode. I've looked to see whether there is any way to force the printer mode, but it seems there isn't, at least not through an rdl. Or what SHOULD work (setting the width larger than the heigh) does not. I'm wondering if anyone else here has run into difficulties like this if there are any solutions or places I might look for answers? Thanks!
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 are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
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.
