Reporting Service Configuration In Distributed Environment
Feb 27, 2007
Hi,
Please let me know if the following server configuration is possible?
SQL Server Database Services on machine #1
Analysis Services and Reporting Services 2005 on machine #2 (without SQL Server Database Services)
Post installation, need to setup Reporting services configuration. In that, within Database Setup, point to database installed on machine #1.
I am facing problem in pointing to remote database.
Awaiting some reply.
Thanks!

I'm using Virtual PC on my WinXP PC, with two W2K3 environments runnings as Virtual PC guests. My goal is to use these virtual servers to emulate a distributed SSRS environment--prior to setting up a similar environment on physical servers.
One of the W2K3 guests is my database server; the other W2K3 guest is my report server. Just like with a physical SSRS environment, there are many choices that need to be made during the installation and configuration--any one of which, it seems, can prevent the environment from working properly.
Currently, I'm struggling with getting my virtual distributed SSRS environment to work. I could go into the details, but I figured I'd ask a basic question first: Is anyone aware of a book, magazine article, blog, etc. that goes through a distributed SSRS installation--listing the requirements, discussing the choices, considering the implications, etc.?
Off the top of my head, such a walk-through would ideally cover networking configuration issues (Virtual PC or otherwise), Active Directory considerations, Windows Firewall settings between the servers, SSRS-related service account selections, authentication between the servers, etc.
If no one has produced such a walk-through (!), I'd be happy to write one so that others don't have to deal with the same struggles I'm currently dealing with....but I'd need your help.

Hi
Please someone tell me, is it possbile to run Reporting service in MS-Access environment?
I mean to say i have to use MS-Access as user interface to design and generate report
(instead of Visual studio IDE) and the Sql server 2005 should be Report Server.
If it is possible then how can i implement it.
Thanks and Regards

When I opened "Reporting Service Configuration Manger" from SQL server configuration tool list, The "Report Server Installation Instance window came out. It showed my local machine name on the field of Machine Name. When I click "Find" button, a message box came out. It says: "No report server were found on the specified machine. Details: Invalid namespace
What is the problem and how to solve it.

Hi,
I've a slight problem with configuring my Report Server. I have set up everything apart from the initialisation and and the Windows Service Identity, however when I select the panel for the latter I am presented with a message box displaying the following:
" Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
There was an error while switching panels. The most likely cause is an error retreiving WMI properties. The exception details are:
InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'SelectedIndex'.
Parameter name: SelectedIndex "
I have tried re-installing the entire SQL server setup and this made no difference, I followed this by removing then reinstalling just the Report Service. Still nothing.
Any ideas as to what it is doing and how I should go about fixing it?

I have a production server log shipping to a secondary server every 30 minutes (both SQL 2000), which the second server is used for both a warm standby server and for reporting from users. Issue: the log shipping locks the DB so reporting can't be done until the load is finished, the load to the second set of databases has taken up to 15 minutes to finish allowing the users only 15 minutes to run reports, this is not acceptable. The server also needs to be used for DR.
I am looking for another solution, I can't use Transactional Log shipping as not all of the tables in the databases have a primary key identified. So, I am looking for a real-time or near real-time reporting server that is more available to running reports and a warm standby server for Disaster recovery. I am trying to figure out what SQL Server 2000 has to provide (or even 2005 or 2008?) or I am also looking at some third party software, but not sure what is the best for a reasonable price.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks....JB

Hi,
I have issues with the Connection Manager in the SSIS package when using package configs thru environment variable.
Here goes..
SSIS package1:
Connections used: devcon1, devcon2 - Dev Env and testcon1,testcon2 - Test Env. Now using all four. Ideally either devcons or testcons should reside at a time.
Environment variable:
Pckg_config = <location of config file which has testcon1 and testcon2>
I need to use only devcon1 and devcon2 in Dev env. In test i need to use only testcon1 and testcon2
Hence i set the values of devcons in devEnv.dtsconfig and testcons in testEnv.dtsconfig
Now i remove both testcons from ssis package. If i try to run the Test Env and my testcons which are marked in testenv.dtsconfig are not found as connections in ssis package then the ssis gives error wanting for those connections.
SSIS maintains the connections in the Connection Manager per package. Although internally it is a pool of connections.
Ideally i should be able to play around with the connection at run time. My package now works, if it is deployed with all the devcons and testcons together. However, ideally it should be either devcons or testcons. I am trying to be more explicable to reach to the masses here.
Am i doing something wrong? All your efforts in solving this puzzle will be greatly appreciated. Please participate.
Thanx,Tushar

We are using Package configuration with environment variables. The problem we are having that if we try to open project from other PC (PC 2) it gives the error:
Error 1 Error loading F0005.dtsx: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available. z:visual studio 2005projectssales data martextract to staging areaF0005.dtsx 1 1
We are using environment variable named DWConfig and have configured correct path in each PC. If we edit package configuration in PC 2 and go thru the same procedures without any amendments the errors is removed for that PC and if, again we OPEN that project in PC 1 it gives same error and if we go thru package configuration wizard again error is removed.
Can any one tell me is there any solution of that problem?
Note: Our project is saved on server (neither PC 1 nor PC 2)
regards,
Anas.

Hi,
I'm using connection managers for all the connections i have in my packages in one project. However, if i change from one environment to another, i have to go to each connection manager in each package just to set the connection.
is there a faster way to change them like a configuration file lookup or something?

Okay - this one is driving me batty.
I have a package that uses an environment variable package configuration of value X for a connection string. I close BIDS. I change the value of the environment variable to value Y. I open BIDS and the package, and the value of my connection string is Y. I save my package with the new configuration. if I look at the dtsx file, I see connection string with value Y. All as expected.
I move the package to my server (I've tried Import package from SSMS, using the deployment manifest, and save copy as). On the server, the environment variable is set to value Y. If I run the package or export it; however, the value of my connection string is X!
Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try or some reason that this is not working?
Thanks,
Jessica

Hello All -
Have you ever seen the error message below?
Description: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "Package.Variables[User::<variable_name>].Properties[Value]". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found. End Warning Could not load package "<package_name>" because of error 0xC0010014.
Basically, I create a package variable under my User Namespace and this variable will tell what server the SSIS is running at. We first create a system variable locally and the SQL Server will have a variable with exactly the same name so that the server name will be evaluated through the package variable/package configurations when the SSIS is executing from a SQL Server job.
This way we do not hard code the server name... We always succeeded on doing that with DTS as well as SSIS packages but just now my package is running into this issue...
Since I did not change ANYTHING in the package, I am guessing this is not programming related and that something was changed in the server. However, the DBA was helpless over here and I have no clue of what this error means.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Gabriel.

I have a Master Package that executes a number a child packages.
Â
In my SSIS Package Configuration:
Â
1. Â I have an SSIS Configuation table that holds the connection string.
Â
2. An XML Configuration File with a setting of configuration location stored in an enviornmental variable.
Â
3. And finally, an Eveniornmental variable with the setting of ProjectFolderAbsolutePath value, where it is the full path of the project folder.
Â
The project functions normally but everytime I open it I get the following error.
" Warning loading MasterPackage.dtsx: The configuration environment variable was not found. The environment variable was: "EnviorVariable". This occurs when a package specifies an environment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check the configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environment variable is available and valid."

Dear all,
I have a problem with SSIS reading an environment variable after deploying the packages to a server. I explain.
I have an Parent Packages ETL_MAIN_PACKAGE.dtsx that reads the child packages from a record set and loops on it to execute them with the Execute Package Task task. The first child package to be executed is called DIM_PERIODIC.dtsx.
On my local machine, the Parent Package is configured to read its database connections from an XML file SSIS_configfile.config located on my C: drive. The path (C:SSIS_configfile.config) to this file is stored in the environment variable BI_ETL.
When I run the Parent Package inside SSIS only machine, the connections are read and the package executes perfectly. Now, I want to deploy the packages on our server.
I copied the XML configuration file to the server C drive, I created the same environment variable BI_ETL and set its value to C:SSIS_configfile.config and I rebooted the machine (in case).
The execution of the Parent package is managed by a stored procedure. I use xp_cmdshell command. The command line generated is :
cmd.exe /c dtexec /file "C:ETL_DeploymentETL_MAIN_PACKAGE.dtsx" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /SET Package.Variables["P_PACKAGE_PATH"].Value;"C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables["P_LOOKUP_PATH"].Value;"C:ETL_DeploymentETL_LOGS" /SET Package.Variables["P_SCHOOL_CODE"].Value;"007"
This command generates an error telling that the Environment variable is not found and it throws this error:
Error : 2007-08-23 18:59:10.25
Code : 0x80019003
Sourse : The configuration environment variable was not found. The environment variable was: BI_ETL. This occurs when a package specifies an environment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check the configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environment variable is available and valid.
End Error
Error: 2007-08-23 18:59:10.25
Code: 0xC001401E
Source: ETL_MAIN_PACKAGE Connection manager "Package Path Execute"
Description: The file name "C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables[P_LOOKUP_PATH].Value;C:ETL_DeploymentETL_LOGSDIM_PERIODIC.dtsx" specified in the connection was not valid.
End Error
I run the package on the same server with a command line directly in a DOS window:
C:>cmd.exe /c dtexec /file "C:ETL_DeploymentETL_MAIN_PACKAGE.dtsx" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /SET Package.Variables["P_PACKAGE_PATH"].Value;"
C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables["P_LOOKUP_PATH"].Value;"C:ETL_Deplo
ymentETL_LOGS" /SET Package.Variables["P_SCHOOL_CODE"].Value;"007"
I don't have anymore the error saying that the Environment variable is not found, but I still have the same second error :
Error: 2007-08-23 18:59:10.25
Code: 0xC001401E
Source: ETL_MAIN_PACKAGE Connection manager "Package Path Execute"
Description: The file name "C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables[P_LOOKUP_PATH].Value;C:ETL_DeploymentETL_LOGSDIM_PERIODIC.dtsx" specified in the connection was not valid.
End Error
I conclude that the environment variable is not read at all.
Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this problem ?
Many thanks.
Sami

Hi There
Ok i have done the following on my target instance i have created an endpoint, xml schema, message types, contact, activation sp , queue and service.
On the initiator i have created an endpoint, a route to the target service, same xml schema, same message types, same contact, queue and service.
When i try test this by doing the following:
SET @msg = CAST(@body AS XML)
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @dialogHandle
FROM SERVICE
[http://ewx.co.za/DemoInitiatorService]
TO SERVICE
'http://ewx.co.za/DemoService'
ON CONTRACT
[http://ewx.co.za/DemoContract];
SEND ON CONVERSATION @dialogHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [http://ewx.co.za/DemoMessage]
(@msg);
END CONVERSATION @dialogHandle;
END
================================================================================
Nothing happens and i dont know where to troubleshoot, if i check both queues they are empty ? I have altered the queues so that retention is ON.
I have checked the sql log of both instances and nothing.
When i execute the above sql it executes succesfully, so basically i am stuck i can execute the dialog sql, and set the activation on the target queue to OFF , so if i message gets there it should stay in the queue, but both que's are empty and no errors ? Not sure where to even start checking the issue ? For all i know the contract could be incorrect or port 4022 blocked or the endpoints not working, but i dont know where to find these errors other than the sql log and it has no errors ?
PLEASE HELP.
Thanx

I'm working with the April CTP of SQL Server and I'm trying to create a proof of concept using service broker. I'm struggling with the "abc's" of it. If anyone has or can point me to a distributed "Hello, World" for service broker between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Express instances it would save me some time and trouble.

Hello everybody!
We are developing a distributed application based on Tree Network Topology. Any part of this application knows only for one parent part and all children parts. For synchronize data with parts of this application we using SQL Service Broker.
Every part contains database. Let€™s name it €œSB€?. This database contains one QUEUE for received and sent messages, MESSAGE TYPE, CONTRACT and SERVICE. Any Service on part has unique name. Also there are one REMOTE SERVICE BINDING and ROUTE for parent part (service) and on one fore every child part (service). For each link Source €“ Target we create separate conversation_handle:
"BEGIN DIALOG @ConversationHandle FROM SERVICE [Source] TO SERVICE 'Target' ON CONTRACT Contract WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;"
All works fine, messages sends and received quite well.
But if we have opposite messages in one moment, with probability 100 percent one of messages, will be missing. Why it happened? Is duplex is not supported in Service Broker? May we do something wrong? Anybody encounter this problem?
We using flag retention = on for queue, to analyze messages after they processed. Body of Message that sent into several services (in one transaction) absent in that service from which the message during the same moment has been sent.

We usually wait until a service pack has been released for a product like SQL Server before using it in production. Is this over cautious or the norm?

I've been charged with architecting a new SSRS solution for our environment. We're mainly a .NET shop which works with an Oracle Database Server. Our developers want to start using SSRS for report creation and I'm not sure what is the best approach when it comes to this. Normally most of our environments have 3 separate servers, each one is DEV, QA and Prod. With SSRS however, i know that you can create multiple folders each with its own datasource connection, so i wonder if it would be better to just have one server were the developers develop their reports and then move them into a 'production' folder. (Any particular downsides to this approach?)
Also, are there considerations to be taken say, to tune Production SSRS vs a development SSRS or is that not really an issue? Besides that any other resources or tips for implementing SSRS for the first time, we're not going to do much with the actual databases to start we're just going to connect to our main Oracle database.Â

Is there a development environment for Reporting Services (2005) that is integrated with source control?
You can use Visual Studio to develop reports and place them under source control. But as far as I can tell, you cannot implement security, scheduling, etc. through Visual Studio. For these you can use a second environment, e.g. SQL Server Management Studio - but is this environment integrated with TFS?
In other words, is there a single development environment, integrated with TFS, where you can develop all aspects of Reporting Services reports?

We are using the whole BI-package from Microsoft - from SQL, DTS-package,Raporting Service and Analyze Service.
It should be very helpful to be able to create a metadata databases where you could find all releations between different objects (tables,views,reports,cubes,DTS-package,Databases.
Just to get answer for: 'where is view xxx used', 'what are Report xxx depending upon'.
While everything exists in different SQL databases it should possible to do.
Has anyone any comments or the same needs ?

Hello,
In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Annie

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?

When I try http://localhost/Reports it throws the following error.

I have tried to search exhaustively for the solution and nothing seems to be crystal clear in solving the above error.
Under Reporting Services Configuraiton Manager (RSCM) all are ticked excepting:

Before this unknowingly I have changed "Windows Service Identity" during configuration which is not the same as Web Service Identity. Under "Web Service Identity" ASP.Net Service Account is listed as <machinename>ASPNET.
Now under "Windows Service Identity" it is selected to "Windows Account" : homequinn. After reading the installation steps it is suggested to have it with "Buil-in Account" ->"Network Services" is recommended. When I try to change it asks me for password and key file. Once I provide it, it is throwing me the following error.
