SQL Reporting Services 2005: Sizing Report For Printing
Feb 1, 2008
I have a report that is a little wide, and when I export it to an Excel file it spans about 2 pages. I have it set to an 8.5 height and 11 width for printing in landscape on normal-sized paper. But is there a way to make sure that the report exports with the printing page break covering the entire width so that the report prints only one page across? The users don't want to resize in Excel before printing.
I have a local report for which i am binding the Dataset dynamically. I am trying to print this report using a seperate button on the page. I saw in the forums saying that the reportviewer can be converted to an EMF file, bind this to an image control and can Print this image using Javascript.
Can anyone help me with the sample code to print local report from the reportviewer (it may be in any approach.)
I am trying to print a report in landscape mode from VS 2003 from designer preview or at run time. The users don't want to change a mode manually. I tried to make width 11 or 11.5 in and height 8.5in with zero margins and 0.5in (tried a lot of combinations) - doesn't work! still printing in portrait. Please help! Thank you
I want to be able to grant the ability to print and export reports in Report Manager to individual users or a group of users. I know I can disable or enable printing and exporting for all users. What I would like to do is create user groups and place everyone who needs to ability to print or export into those groups.
I am converting an old Crystal Reports environment to 2005 Reporting Services. I've seen the basic memory requirements for the SSRS programs themselves, but I was wondering if there are any other guides available that will help me size the H/W based on anticipated users and reports.
We are planning to deploy the MS Reporting Services. Unfortunately,there isn't much guidance on how to effectively size a server.Here are my questions:1) In an environment with 1 reporting server (hosting the reportingdata layer, application, and management layer) connecting to 1 or moreSQL servers (over 2 trunked 1Gbps switches connections), what is theconstraining resource when running large reports against a database ofsay 4GB in size? CPU, RAM, DISK, or Network speed on the ReportingServer? Or the Data hosting SQL server? Or does it depend on code?2) If I have a Duel Core CPU, do I buy 1 CPU license. MS had respondedto the HyperThreading as 2 virtual CPUs with the statement that you buyCPU licenses based on socket count effectively. This would imply thatif I buy a 4 Duel Core AMD Opteron Proliant 585 (8 CPU cores in 4packages / sockets), I can run MS Reporting Services Standard Edition.Is that true?Any input or direction would be appreciated.Paul V.
We have never been able to get the printing to work on any of our reports using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 SP2 in our production environment. Without this feature of printing a report, we cannot go live with SSRS at all.
We have tried adding the SP2 after a clean install on a new server -- yet we still have this problem.
I read a few some posts about uninstall the old ActiveX control used for printing, so I did this and installed the new one but that didn't help either.
We can print to files without issue - only when we try to print to a real printer does it hang forever.
It doesn't matter how big the report is, 100 pages or 1/4 of a page, same problem.
We do the following:
1) Run the report 2) Click the print button 3) Select a printer and press ok 4) "Printing Now..." dialog box appears 5) "Print Error" dialog appears and never goes away - and nothing is printed out. Have to close IE and crash the report session to get out of it.
This is the result on every client computer we have ever used in trying to access the report server.
It also hangs in running a Print Preview for all reports.
We are printing to network printers from IE6 and IE7.
Since this is on a server, we do not have a local printer to this server computer to try to print to. Even if it worked on a local printer, this is supposed to be an enterprise solution. Almost all of our employees print to network printers.
I am logged into my machine as a domain admin. I have no printing problems in any program printing to any printer, except when using Reporting Services.
We are trying to print from an ASP web application which runs the reports in an iframe using URL access.
We are able to print the same reports on all of our development environments using the same ASP web application and RDL.
I have been working on this problem for days. I have a report that is grouped and will be printed duplex (front and back). There is a page break after each group. I want to ensure that the start of a new group does not end up printed on the back side of an old group. For example:
Page 1 (printed on front side of paper): group 1 Page 2 (printed on back side of paper): more group 1 Page 3 (printed on front side of paper): more group 1 Page 4 (printed on on back side of paper): group 2 <--- This is a problem
I need:
Page 1 (front side): group 1 Page 2 (back side): more group 1 Page 3 (front side): more group 1 Page 4 (back side): <This Page Intentionally Left Blank> Page 5 (front side): group 2
Issues that I've run into include the fact that SSRS renders the entire body first, before rendering the header/footer. This prevents the body of the report from knowing which page it will end up on when it is rendered (and is also why you cannot reference Globals!PageNumber from the body).
The restriction above also prevents using a variable in custom code to know when to generate a page break. If you set this variable in the header/footer then the body will never see it as the entire body is rendered first and will therefore only see the initial state of the variable.
I have seen this issue posted in a number of places, but no one ever has a solution to this (except switching back to Crystal Reports). Have any MVPs ever addressed this issue? I am really hoping someone can offer a good solution or work-around.
I have reports, set to print on Landscape and Legal ie 14 * 8.5. However, when certain users try to print the report, it prints it in Letter, even though the report is set to print in legal /landscape.
The strange part is that for most users it prints correctly in legal, only for some it is on letter. Any idea why this would happen?
I must confess it has been a long time since I have done any SSRS reporting. I have the following SQL Statement (I will change it to a stored Procedure with parameters once I get the design done):
SELECT rc.wo_id, rc.process_id, rc.item_id, rc.lot_no AS full_lot_no, rc.oper_id, rc.seq_no, CAST(la.attr_value AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS weight,
[Code] ....
This gives me the data I want which looks like this:
Rework ID             Ingot          Oper ID        Piece        Rework 28                          xxxxxx14          5                   M88           Route 1 55                        xxxxxxx15          5                  B106          Route 2 79                        xxxxxxx19          5                   M68           Route 3 164                      xxxxxx234           5                   T16            Route 4                            xxxxxx234          5                    B82            Route 4
The grouping is on the Rework ID.  Any of the pieces can be put on any rework route. As you can see, there are 4 routes, but 5 pieces.  What I need is for each rework ID to be printed on its own paper even if there is only 1 record for the route. So I would expect 4 pieces of paper, 3 with 1 record, the 4th with two pieces. Is there a setting in the Tablix or report that I can set, or is there an expression I can use?
We have SSRS reports hosted on a terminal server. When user clicks PRINT button, there is a prompt "Printing is not available. Verify that ActiveX is enabled,..." When logs on as Admin, we can install this ActiveX, however normal users won't have the privilege.
When I try to put a new report in existing folder there's no problem,but now i have fresh installed Reporting Services and no Visual Studio2005. How do i open a new folder?
I have an RDL report that has tables which are hidden based on expression. When I chose Run, they are appropriately hidden or visible. However, when I chose print, all tables are printed, even if they are invisible in the run version.Â
my problem is , i want to deploy my rdl and rds file which i make in the sql 2005 reporting services. Now i want to deploy this rdl through asp.net coding using language VB i hope someone is help me Thanks Rahul Sinha
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS) is installed on Vista Ultimate. I cannot access to the http://localhost/ReportServer page. IE posts an internal error HTTP 500.0 (after IE required a Windows account). All the configurations of Reporting Services are OK. In the Log file, there is nothing: the Web Services does not seem to be launched.
By continuing the investigations in IIS 7 (activation of the €œRules of follow-up of the requests having failed€?, I found the error following:
Translation of the french sentence: ErrorCode="Incorrect syntax of the file name, the directory or the volume."
I made a full research on Internet and in the documentation at my disposal and I did not find anything which can advance me towards a beginning of solution€¦
Thank you with all for the assistance which you will be able to bring to me.
I have created reports using sql server Reporting serivce 2005.While printing i am running into issue.The issue is after each page ,a new blank page get inserted .For 2 pages i am getting 2 blank pages inserted between .
How to work around this .Please any one let me know .Thanks in advance .
I have a report that displays fine in VS 2005 (in the Preview tab), and if I hit it via a URL in IE as a deployed report. However, when I embed it in a ReportViewer control for display on a web site, I get no data back for the report. I am using an Oracle database for the data source. None of the the logs in reporting services show anything wrong, there are no events in the event viewer to indicate any problems, Oracle logs also show no problems and no errors are returned to the page when the "View Report" button is clicked.
I read that this sample is included, however when I install the samples the other three are in the "Extension Samples" directory but the "Custom Report Item Sample" is missing. Can anybody please tell me where I can find it?
I tried to pass parameter from one report to another report. I can send the parameter using following option: I used jump to url option and write the following expression:
I tried to export a reort using SQL 2005 Reporting Services. However Iam getting the following log on the screen : [logs After upgrading the SQL 2005 with SP2 ]

So I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
Submitted printed total_pages duplex 8/10/2015 8/10/2015 42 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension  with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting  just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053
I found some dead-end threads regarding this issue but have not seen a clean solution.
Utilizing a Reporting Services security extension, I can't find a way of obtaining the reports name or identity from within the CheckAccess() method so I can use it to query an external database to ascertain authorization. In other words, my company requires the creation of custom roles that can be used from within our ASP application and well as being honored by SQL Reporting Services 2005.
If anyone can help, I would really appreciate your time!
Has anyone encounted a problem with Reporting Services (2005) with the following scenario: A report with a dropdown parameter allowing a Select All choice -
If the selection list is fairly long and Select All is selected - if the user clicks the View Report button the selection list is completely reset (i.e. all items are unselected). This seems to happen if the user quickly clicks the View Report button immediately after clicking the Select All box on the parameter dropdown.
This happens inconsistently - some users experience it frequently while others do not see it at all (using the same parameter values, etc.)
