Reports Running Automatically When All Parameters Had Default Values

View 9 RepliesI have created a report, and am setting default values for the parameters. Once the default parameters is set, the report automatically generates. Is there a way to make it not automatically generate the report? We are setting the parameters with values that will get the end user the most recent data, but alot of times, they will want to pull older data as well. We don't want them to have to wait for the report to automatically generate before they can change the parameter values

Hi All
I'm hoping someone here will be able to guide me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out a way of looping through table columns or a flat file in which there will be three parameters every time. With these parameters I am then wanting to run a report using two of these parameters to feed into the report and then email this out to an email address which would be my third parameter. Does anyone here have any idea how I would go about doing this?
Many thanks in advance.
Good Morning,
I am trying to find a way of creating my Repoting Services reports of automatically refreshing once our ETL load has completd. I have created a process that creates a file is a particular directory once the data has completed loading however I am unsure how to make the report look for this file and then refresh the report.
Is this something that can be created?
Thanks in advance.

I am building code to look into the database and create "CRUD" stored procedure scripts automatically for each table.
I am in the finishing stages as my procedures take into consideration all necessary parameters and keys wheter they are natural or identity. It also takes into consideration User Defined Types.
I am working on the section which defines the parameters and their default values. ie.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[TransactionHistoryInsertOne]
(
@ProductID Int = 0,
@ReferenceOrderID Int = 0,
@ReferenceOrderLineID Int = 0,
@TransactionDate DateTime = '1/1/1900', <-- Possibly arbitrary
@TransactionType nchar(1) = '?' <---- How to get this.
@Quantity Int = 0,
@ActualCost Money = 0,
@ModifiedDate DateTime = '1/1/1900'
)
AS...
I have three problems remaining.
1. Using the AdventureWorks database as a data model, I run into the TransactionType field in the TransactionHistory table, a non-nullable nchar(1). How do I determine and use any default values that may be defined for this object?
2. Do UDTs have default values already defined?
3. How do I make sure I am not arbitrarily setting the default values?
Here i my select statement into the system tables:
SELECT C.*, T.name as xtypename, U.name as xutypename, S.*, so.*
FROM syscolumns C
left join systypes T on (C.xtype = T.xtype) and (T.xtype = T.xusertype)
left join systypes U on C.xusertype = U.xusertype
left join sys.all_columns S on (C.id = S.object_id) and (C.name = S.name)
left join sysobjects so on S.default_object_id = so.id
WHERE (C.id = [TableId])";
Thanks for any help
I am working with SP. How can we find out values of parameters when the SP is executed with the default values?
View 9 Replies View RelatedA have a multi-valued parameter (B) which is dependent on a single-valued parameter (A) on my report. When a value is selected in A, I want all matching values in B to be selected by default and the "Select All" option checked. To do this I have set the Default Values section in B to point to the same dataset as the "Available Values" section. Both A and B have default values so the report runs automatically.
One of the values in parameter A (say Value1) yields more values in parameter B than the other (say Value2).
If I run the report the first time with Value1 selected as the default for parameter A, all values in B are checked correctly. If I run the report with Value2 selected the first time and then change the selected value to Value2 and run my report, all values in B are displayed but only the values that were previously checked (when Value1 was selected), are now checked, leaving the "Select All" unchecked.
What am I doing wrong? Why are all the values in B not checked? The dataset is the same in "Available Values" section and "Default Values" section.
This is regarding Report Services 2005 designing the report in Visual Studio.
Currently I am using a query to populate 2 date selectors in the parameter section at the top of a report. The start and end dates are determined by a query which returns the values based on yet another parameter. If I change the value of the paramter which is supposed to be used by the date selectors they don't seem to feel the need to re-calc themselves. I have 3 other dependent param's in the same report which behave reasonably.
Has anyone seen this before or is there way to somehow force a parameter re-caluclation?

I'm generating a list of parameters needed by stored procedures, and
I'd like to know which ones have default values assigned to them.
To retrieve the parameter information I use:
sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser''
However, the column that is supposed to give the default value,
'COLUMN_DEF' always returns as NULL, even when that column has a
default value assigned to it.
i.e.
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertUser@UserID INT = 10,.....
And then if I do a sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser'', the COLUMN_DEF value for the @UserID column is still NULL.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and how I can retrieve the default value?
Thanks
I run these stored procedure to build the report and I am able successfully to build the report but I need some prompts to in the report to get the specific data .
ALTER
PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sharepoint_Ticket_Report]
@StartDate
DATETIME,
@EndDate
[Code] ....
And for prompts how to create created_by and message_type dropdowns as shown in picture.
Hi,
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters).
Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension .
Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007".
But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All".
Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
Thanks !

Hi,
I am creating a application to show reports for daily based information.
I have created the reports and i am changing the data source at run time.In order to view the updated reports, i have to deploy.
So i need to deploy the reports automatically.
can any one gave a idea to do this.
thanks
Is it possible to schedule a report in SRS to print automatically the first of every month?
Thanks!
Scenario:
I have 2 identical Analytics cubes, Cube 1 & 2, my reports point to Cube 1, when Cube 2 is refreshed the reports data source is manually repointed to the updated Cube 2. The following day the Cube 1 is refreshed and again the reports data source is edited and repointed back to Cube 1.
This ensures that if a cube build failes the reports aren't down.
To modify the data source I connect to Reporting Services using SSMS go to the Data source folder and manually edit the Data source.
I have looked through the Reporting database in SQL Server but didn't see anything that resembled the connection string for me to edit.
Are the connection strings for the Data sources stored in the Reporting Database ? Where can I find them?
Here is a Microsoft document that gave me the idea. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/bestpractice/scoqryas.mspx
It talks about changing the connections strings in the Web UI? But doesn't tell you how or point to any docs that do.
Is there a way to automate this and is anyone else running a similar setup.
I appreciate you help
Thanks

I was wondering if there was a way to set a default project to open in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 when the application launches.
Perhaps there's a certain registry key I could edit?

Hi
I need to be able to click a hyperlink in one report to open a linked report, but without automatically running the linked report.
Scenario.
I have a report showing customer details and on this page there is a link to a price enquiry report. This price enquiry report has two parameters: customer code and product code.
When I click the price enquiry hyperlink in the customer details report I can only attach a value to the customer code parameter. The product code parameter is not known at this stage and would have to be provided by the user after the price enquiry report is opened (but not run). The customer code parameter should already be filled (carried in the link).
When I click the link at the moment I get the error "The 'product' parameter is missing a value".
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,

thnkx in adavance..
I have a report that gets two parameters of type date.
These parameters have default values.
When I press preview the report runs automatically.
I want to prevent the report from running automatically, and let it run only when I press the button "view report".
How should I do it?
Thanks in advance!
I have an SSIS which goes to a web hosting site and gets the store xml file, saves the file on my computer. Then I want to run a T-SQL script but if fails because the files contains DOCTYPE StoreExport SYSTEM http://store.yahoo.com/doc/dtd/StoreExport.dtd>
I want to manully remove then line before running the T-SQL script. Here is the beginning of the script:
DECLARE @x XML
SELECT @x =cast(bulkcolumn as XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:databasexmldtdyahoostore.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x
I thought the cast statement would get rid of the line, but it does not.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hello all,
I have a project where I need to automatically pass 2 sets of parameters to a SSRS report and generate PDF files. I have set the defaults for the parameters based on one set of parameters and created a subscription to automatically generate PDF copy. However, I am not sure how to generate the report automatically using the other set of parameters. Also, I don't want to create two report files to accomplish this.
Can you please help?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
We have a lot of VB6 code that uses ADO 2.7 and stored procs wih Sql 2005. I have noticed recently that if I use the follow code:
Dim con As New ADODB.Connection
con.ConnectionString = "driver={SQL Server};server=(local);database=test;uid=sa;pwd="
con.Open
Dim com As New ADODB.Command
com.ActiveConnection = con
com.CommandText = "usp_GetSetting"
com.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
com.Parameters.Append com.CreateParameter(...)
It will fail. the reason being the after setting the CommantText and Type ADO then seems to automatically go away and populate the Parameters collection from the databases metadata according to the SP we are calling.
I have never seen this before, I thought the Refresh method had to be called before the parameters collection get populated.
Can anyone help me please?
It seems that my report runs immediately now that I've set defaults on all parameters. Is there a way to allow defaults on all params but still require that the user click "view report" before it runs?

hi there
I am using SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services (Using the Visual side - not direct code)
I am having problems understanding the dates. eg where to put them,
I want a report that runs on the 1st day of the month for the previous month. I know you can set up something in subscriptions but then how do I get my report header to say from .......to...............
I have been through the AW reports but can't see what I need.
Happy if someone wants to direct me to somewhere that has date examples.

I need to create a simple dashboard report that will be displayed on a large screen.
My problem is that there can be potentially more records than the screen can display.
Based on how i size my report the report can be a single page with a scroll bar or mutliple pages.
My question is: Is there any way of automatically looping through pages or to automatically scroll down through the records in SSRS
If anyone has any experience of something like this or suggest a work around in SSRS could you please let me know
Thanks in advance

I have a ssis package that has multiple large lookups without memory restriction. When running the package manually from SSMS on the same server it runs on when running automatically under the job agent, the package errors out when the server memory gets depleted by the loading of the large lookup reference data. One of the messages I get is
"An out-of-memory condition prevented the creation of the buffer object. "
Anyway, the package runs successfully when it runs automatically under the job agent.
I was curious as to why the above happens. Is that a bug or is the run time behavior different under these 2 environments by design.

Hi,
I am new to SQl Server, i have created a logical model for a database that i am creating for a project. Is there a way i can assign automatic values to my Primary Key (PK) Column other than using an identity?
For example i have a table called indicator for which the Primary Key (PK) is indicator_identifier; i want the primary key values to be
ind_0001
ind_0002
ind_0003
Please note that i may be populating the tables from a VB.NET form
Please can anybody help me?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two practice tables I have created and want to export the values of one into the source table. I want to know if I can export into a table and have the destination table automatically give a primary key value to a record? I haven't been able to figure this out even after fiddling with the "Enable identity insert" checkbox under the Column Mappings tab. I have created source tables with and without primary keys and neither works because of the fact that I need to have a value for a primary key in order to INSERT into the destination.
Do I have to copy the source records into a staging table and assign the PK values myself by hand? This can't be the answer.
