Yes folks that's right, I said SQL 2000 RS.
I have used SQL 2005 reporting services for quite sometime and now one of our clients wants the SQL 2005 reports that I developed. There's only one catch: they only have SQL 2000.
Is there any way to deploy my reports to their server on SQL 2000?
Hello,
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?
Any help is appreciated
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.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi All,
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?
Regards,
Joseph
Hello,
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
thank you

Can report be created with code (XML, SQL, ActiveX?) using the new Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000?
I have to create a report and save it in Excel format. By default the report is saved as - *.rdl. but the web report server has an option of saving it as excel or pdf etc formats. Is there a way to do this automatically? ie by code and not manually
Please help
I have seen this done by someone else but cant seem to find how to do it...basically I have a sytle sheet which I want to use on all the Reporting Services reports, to so they all look the same....
Thanks
I am trying to get SQL 2000 reporting services up and running, and am trying to get a condensed explanation of what I need to do, and any other software I may need to purchase.
I have already installed the Reporting Services, and after reading the help, it seems that I have to install MS Visual Studio 2003 in order to design the reports. Is this true.
Anyone that can give me some help in getting this up and running - I would be grateful.
Thanks so much - Joe
Could someone assist me in setting up Data Driven Subscriptions for Reporting Services 2000?
Thank you in advance.

Hi
I have used Reporting Services 2000 to create a template, and works in a mail merge sort of way, creating a delivery note for each order.
The problem I have is, if an order goes over two pages.. I need a easy way to present this, so that the user knows to send two pages.... Obviously, the correct way would be to page it in some way but from what I understand, RS 2000 would page the whole documents (ie all orders) and there is no way of paging in respect to a group (ie order no)
The next option is to have cont. at the bottom of page 1 (if there are more than 1 page), does any1 know how to do this? cos of obviously on the screen it will always be 1 page???
I hope I make some sense... any help would be great....
Thanks in advance :)
When i save a report as a web archive page breaking for the report is not enabled ?The entire data is displayed in a single page even if paging properties are enabled for the report.

Hi there,
I have installed SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services with the default names for the virtual directories , (ReportServer and Reports). Is there any way i can change the name of these directories by running a script or some thing.
Also is there a way to use the Cascaded Style Sheet used in my ASP.NET application for the reports.
Thanks
We had someone leave work and he was responsible for the reports for our company. He used SQL 2000 w/ Reporting Services. The connection to the report server was tied to his userid and password. Since his account was disabled the website will not connect to the reporting database because it was tied to his account. Is there a way to reset the connection creditions? I looked on the server and I can't find the Reporting Services Admin Tool.
Thanks..

Hello there.
i would like to install Report Services on visual studio 1.1 version
using sql server 2000. i currently have sql server 2005 and visual
studio 2.0 and there is no problems and so i remember how that
works.
With sql server 2000 i saw a link to a trial version of reporting services that i can download and install but after 120 days it's no good. I think that provides the gui interface to install reporting
services like the 2005 version except less robust. But i'm wondering with the proper service packs of sql server 2000 installed if i can
bypass download.
Can somebody help me how to install reporting services with sql server 2000, pre-req and software i need. I currently have the
developer's edition of sql server 2000 already.
Please contact me at clalbert@flash.net
I have installed SP2 successfully a number of times before, but always where the Report Server and the Report Server databases were on the same box. This is the first time trying to install the Service Pack where the Report Server is on server X and the databases are on server Y.
When I try to run the SP (on server X), I get the following message:
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I am logged in using a domain account that is a local admin on both servers (and also the SQL Server startup account on server Y). It is also the account used by the Report Server to connect to the RS databases. The startup account for the Report Server service is 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
Hi All,
I am a newbie to SQL 2000 Reporting Services. I have been given a task on installing SQL 2000 Reporting services on our servers. We have one database server (SQL 2000) with SP3a. We have one web server with IIS 5.1 and ASP.NET 1.1 installed.
I plan to install the Report Server database on the SQL 2K DB server; but I want to install the Report Server on the web server with IIS. Is that possible ? If yes can you please describe in detail how can I do it ?
The other question I am having is from where can I download SQL 2000 Reporting Services (DEV edition or ENT edition). Is this something available online ?
Please help, as this is very important for the project given to me.
Thank you all in advance
is there a reporting services configuration tool for 2000 that comes with the non-trial version as the trial version did not install this tool - maybe it did not do so because i had the 2005 version already installed. ???

I would like to have an option of selecting the rows in my reports designed using reporting services 2000.
I would like to have a check box inside the table. when the user viewing the report he can select the rows using this checkbox and print only the selected table rows.
can anyone help how to implement this logic in ms reporting services 2000?
i have now ordered my sql server 2000 reporting services non-evaluated edition. My new question involves installing it after i installed 2005 edition.
It seems that as long as i have a web home for my report projects
(2005), the server can hold output from the 2000 and 2005 versions.
But i'm wondering if i delete my 2005 version, and just have the 2000
version - will the web home for the 2000 version look the same
and it seems at least on the 2000 trial version level, there is no configuration options menus that really make it easy to establish a web
home server. ????
Please get back to me on clalbert@flash.net

Hello,
I'd like to display the first character of a string in a text field in Reporting Services 2000. First I check to see if the field is blank, if it is then do nothing. If the field is not blank, then display the first character.
IIF(LEN(Fields!ALADD2.Value) = 0, "", Fields!ALADD2.Value.SUBSTRING(0,1))
The text box displays #Error when the string is empty. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
i'm looking for a configuration tool that will configure my report and report server for sql server 2000 independent of sql server 2005
reporting services if any. reporting services 2005 has a configuration tool to set its own.
What i mean is way before reporting services 2005 people installed
2000 reporting services and they had to configure report and report
server so that results can be shown up via an intranet web browser
mechanism. Does reporting services 2000 offer this and if not
how is it done?
I know i can use the report server/report of 2005 to hold 2000 reports and i know how to setup a side-by-side installation using
2005 but i want to know documentation about the original way.
thank you
Hi All
I am new to SQL server Reporting services and its configurations. I have installed and set up the SQL Server 2000 Reporting services in Windows 2003 Server. I have two websites up and running in the IIS excluding the default website. I have made the neccessary settings to enable one of the non- defualt website to run the reporting services. However when i run http://Servername/reports, The properties tab is not available. Is there any rights issues that i miss out? Please enlighten me. Thnx
A customer of mine, running Reporting Services 2000, has a linked report situation. The report is landscaped and prints ok from the base report. If the same User tries to print the Linked version of same report it prints as Portrait. The user has Admin privileges. I am told another customer is having the same trouble.
Does anyone have any idea as to the problem?

Hi,
I am using Windows XP PRO and trying to Install SQL SERVER 2000 Reporting Services.
I have already installed SQL SERVER 2000 developer Edition, sql server service pack 3, VS.NET 2003 and .NET frame work 1.1.
I downloaded the SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Evaluation Edition. I expected that there are both Server Component and Client Components which are available to install because evaluation edition support all features of Enterprise Edition. However I only saw the Client Components available during setup. Where can I find the Server Components to install? I appreciate very much if I can get advice from any of you.
Thanks,
