I thought I'd share this with you a) because I'm amazed, and b) to hopefully save anybody wasting the amount of time I did.
I created a report called 'Attachments by Account', and deployed it to reporting server. Then when testing it, I'd always get a File Download prompt for an html file, rather than the rendered content. After an enormous amount of messing with the report content, stripping out actions and hyperlinks and script etc., I uploaded a copy called 'aa' out of laziness, and it worked fine. Then I renamed it back to 'Attachments by Account', and I'd get the File Download prompt again. Remove the word 'Attachments' from the name and it works.
How on earth does something like that happen ?
p.s. This is SQL 2000 RS, sp 2. I've not got round to testing SQL 2005
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render our reports to Microsoft Word format. We€™ve searched around and haven€™t really found any useful information on how to do this.
Is Microsoft planning on releasing a Word rendering extension? If so, when?
Has anyone written a custom rendering extension for Word? Or, does anyone know how to write a custom rendering extension for Word?
We need either a Microsoft solution that€™s already built-in to Reporting Services or a solid, free solution. We are not in the market of buying a third-party product like OfficeWriter.
hi! I'm just wondering does anyone know how to create an sql command that can search word by word? what i mean is like I have a product with name 'harry potter broom'. I want an sql command where if i type only 'harry broom' this 'harry potter broom' product will show up. Does anyone have any idea? Here's my sql comand: (I'm using asp.net vb script do develop this system) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- query = "select distinct * from product where " & _ "(pname like '%" & keyword & "%' or " & _ "pdesc like '%" & keyword & "%' ) and " & _ "(price >= " & price1 & " and price <= " & price2 & _ ") and status <> 'out of stock' order by price asc" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you.
I have just setup a new Reporting Service Server. I loaded a page then I created a subscription which will email and excel document of the report out.
Each time the subscription runs I am getting this error below:
Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information.Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information.
When I take out the attachment on the email and just have it send the link the email runs fine with no errors. Is there some type of setup that needs to be done with the server side to have it send attachments?
Hi, I have developed a web app where documents may be uploaded onto a server, and then opened of downloaded from the server by the users. Every type of file can be opened and downloaded apart from .sql. The main types of files that are uploaded are .txt, .dox, .pdf, .xls and .psd (photoshop), they all work apart from .sql just wondering does somthing different have to be done for .sql files?
the uploading is working, it is not that the file doesnt exist on the server
I can create subscriptions with attachments in my dev environment but cannot do so in the production environment. Subs with links send out fine in Prod but SRS seems to fail when we want to add the report as attachment.
Could there be an issue with the installation in what service accounts were used. I did not do the initial installation in Production, only development and we used the SQLServerSrvc domain account there. I tried changing the service accounts in Prod but subs with attachments still do not work.
I did verify that the server can communicate with our SMTP server and the SMTP server isn't limiting attachments etc.
We currently email out reports as either PDF or Excel attachments using Data Driven subscriptions in SSRS 2005. I've been asked to be able to encrypt the attachments and am wondering if anyone has done this or can point me in the right direction.
There's been a couple of mentions about "encrypted email" -- but I don't know where to find further information. Is this possible using SSRS subscriptions?
i need to send a report as e-mail. so i'm trying it through email subscription. i'm rendering the report in MHTML format. I'm able to get the report in mail but the problem is the images (i,e bar graph,charts and embedded images) in the report are getting displayed below the actual report and all images in the report are added as attachment. i need only the generated report as mail and not these extra images that gets embedded in the email.Is there is any way to get this done??
I have been testing our SQL Mail setup in SQL Server 2000 (sp3a) andhave found that when I attach results as a file, every other characteris a control character which causes each real character output on aseparate line. I have no idea why this is happenening, I've never seenit before.The code looks like this;EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail@recipients = '<email address>',@dbuse = 'TestDB',@query = 'select top 50 descr from AdTable',@message = 'nathan email test',@subject='SQL Mail test',@attach_results = 'true',@width = 100,@separator = ','The results look like this! -descr-----etc.When I view the result text file with an advanced text editor I cansee that every other character is a control - these characters are notin the data, I have already checked this, so it looks like its theyare being created by SQL Server or the mail system? Any advice muchappreciated.Nathan
I need to store several different types of documents (text, MS Word, PDF, etc.) in SQL Server 2005. What is the best way to store file attachments that have different MIME types?
Currently I'm using a table with a varbinary(max) column which works for binary files but not for text files. Do I need to have multiple columns in the table for different file types? Thanks in advance for your help.
CREATE TABLE dbo.[CM_Attachment] ( [Id] int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [Change_Request_Id] int NOT NULL , [Attachment] varbinary(max) not null, [Created_Date] datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT GetDate() , [Created_By] varchar(30) NOT NULL , [Modified_Date] datetime NOT NULL , [Modified_By] varchar(30) NOT NULL ) GO
INSERT INTO CM_Attachment(Change_Request_Id, Attachment, Created_By, Modified_Date, Modified_By) SELECT 6, BulkColumn , '', GetDate(), '' FROM Openrowset( Bulk 'C:TestingTest Doc #1.txt', SINGLE_CLOB) -- Does not work -- FROM Openrowset( Bulk 'C:TestingTest Doc #2.xls', Single_Blob) -- Works -- FROM Openrowset( Bulk 'C:TestingTest Doc #3.jpg', Single_Blob) -- Works as ChangeRequestAttachment
I have a DTS that creates multiple .zip files in a folder. Each zip file has a different name. My goal is to attache all the zips to a single email in a Send Mail Task. I have tried to do so with something like "C:Folder*.zip", but have had no luck. Any suggestions?
I was wondering if anyone has extended the standard CDOSYS Mail Stored Procedure (SP) to allow it to send the results of a query as an attachment?
I have set up a SP for CDOSYS Mail as outlined in the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=kb;de;312839&sd=tech
Currently I am using the old SQL Mail (xp_SendMail). But due to the problems with losing the MAPI connection and other limitations, I have been forced to find another solution. Using SQL Mail, I was able to add a query parameter and attach the results of the query to the email. I need to have the same functionality in CDOSYS Mail
I'd like to get the column ID_NumofAttach to be populated by the total number of ID_Attachlevel column by the same ID_BegAttach or ID_EndAttach and populate where ID_Attachlevel is 0.
My company uses database mail extensively for alerting and the like, and most emails sent have attachments. We've put in place procedures for removing emails older than a month from the MSDB database, however we've now had a client server completely run out of the disk space due to attachments being stored in the C:Documents and SettingsUserLocal SettingsTemp folder!?!
When I check the sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp sproc, it only removes entries in the MSDB tables, and doesn't remove these temporary files in the temp directory.
Does anyone know why SQL Server stores them in the temp directory of the service account user, as well as how we can remove them (apart from manually deleting the files), as we need to have an automated process for cleaning up emails, and at the moment SQL Server 2005 doesn't handle this very well.
I've checked this on our test server as well, and we're getting the same there, and this server is running the latest SP2 + hot fixes.
i am aware that only sysadmin can send attachments using sp_send_dbmail. but the problem is, i don wan my application login to have sysadmin role and wan it to be able to send email with attachments using sp_send_dbmail. i'm using a stored procedure to call sp_send_dbmail, anyway can i impersonate sysadmin inside the stored procedure to execute sp_send_dbmail?
I need to email a report that contains a date in the report name. Can I build the file name with script and use a variable in the attachments field on the send mail task. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
The script is working fine if i manually provided file path to @file_attachments. it is showing error i passes the variable @Loc3 to @file_attachments. Below is the error if i passes the variable to @file_attachments parameter.

Is the word "Name" a reserved word in SQL? look at line 10 of my stored procedure. When I use the word "Name"it is highlited in blue by SQL Server?

I work for a financial company where we send out lots of correspondence to clients on a daily and monthly basis. This would typically be something like a financial report, account statements, etc. We've decided to use PDF as the format which these documents must be in when our clients receive them.
Our marketing and sales departments designs the templates of these documents using Microsoft Word. They can save these MS Word documents in the Word XML format (either 2003 or 2007). We want it in XML format, because it is text based, and we can therefore string replace the content to update the template with a client€™s information. In the same token RTF would also do, but the file size when converted to RTF is a problem.
What I am looking for is a way to convert this XML into PDF using something like XSL-FO - i.e. we do not want to use the Word Interopt on our Production Server, firstly it is a little slow and secondly the production server is unmanned and we cannot allow a WinWord.EXE process to not close successfully for some or other reason.
I've tried a number of companies' evaluation software to try and achieve this (converting the WordML to PDF via XSL-FO), but so far no luck.
Does anybody know of a stylesheet out there with which I will be able to achieve this? Or an alternative method of converting MS Word files into PDF without using Word to do it?
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.
I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report. I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend? How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info. I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID. I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data: 1 - 50 60 - 80 150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.
