How can we Integrate SQL server 2005 Report builder, Report designer in a custom .Net Application ? . Please Help me.
I want to provide Report Designer, Report builder and Query builder functionalities to my .Net application. How can I Integrate them in my application?
I have been banging my head against the wall with trying to integrate SharePoint 2007 and SQL Reporting Services. I have been following these 2 websites down to the letter in trying to configure everything:
2. http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/02/19/microsoft-sql-server-2005-sp2-reporting-services-integration-with- wss-3-0-and-moss-2007.aspx <---SharePoint Blog Group
Basically my setup is as follows:
Server 1 = SharePoint 2007
Server 2 = SQL Server Reporting Services SP2 / SharePoint 2007 services
Server 3 = Database
Server1 is setup and running SharePoint 2007 fine with no problems. It was installed under the complete option with its own server farm. Then with the Server2, SharePoint 2007 is installed again, also under the complete complete option, and configured to join Server1's server farm. In this way, Server2 is able to supply Server1 with services and it has been said that if you are using 2 different servers, one for SharePoint and one for Reporting Services, you need to have an instance of SharePoint on the reporting services box. With a SharePoint "front-end" the reporting-services now has a way to also join Server1s farm.
This is where the headache begins....the SharePoint install is successful on Server2 and the services are started as evident through the Central Administration page. The next task is to install SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and then the SQL Server 2005 SP2 patch.
After installing SQL Server and the SP2 patch, you go into the SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager and setup the Report Server, Database, and SharePoint integration. I configure everything to run under the "DefaultAppPool" under IIS, and I get green accepted checkboxes on everything.
Finally, the last step is to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies on Server1. This add-in actually allows the connection between SharePoint on Server1 to the Reporting Services on Server2. The install is successful and the extra options for reporting pop up under Central Administration page. When configuring the final connection under the Central Admin I referred to the following Microsoft Page:
For the "manage integration settings", I set the report server to Server2 and use Windows Authentication. Then for the "grant database access" I use Server2 and login with my credentials...
PROBLEM: Then for the final step of setting the server defaults, I click on the link and get the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. "
I have googled and tried installing/uninstalling several times, but it seems that I keep getting hung up here. When trying to access reports on the ReportServer, the same error message comes up.
If anyone is familiar with integration between SharePoint and SQL Reporting Services, and may have any ideas/comments/advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! =)
Hi, I have just install SQL 2005 SP2 and trying to get Window SharePoint Services V3 integrated with SQL 2005 SP2 reporting services. In SharePoint Central Administration, I select the Reporting Services Integration page and have setup the Report Server Web Service URL and Authentication Mode. I then goto Grant database access, specify the SQL server name, get promted for a username and password that has access SQL Reportserver and get the following error "The group name could not be found" Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
I have just installed RS and SP2 on a server running a MOSS 2007 (with SSL using an internal certificate) and configured RS to work on Sharepoint Integrated Mode. Then I went to Sharepoint to configure RS options, but when I tried to set up the Set Servers Defaults I receive the following error:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> Server was unable to process request. ---> The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. ---> The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.
Also, when I try to deploy a report from SQL BI Development Studio to Sharepoint, I receive the error:
A connection could not be made to the report server https://myserver.mycompany.com.br/Reports/Site. (Microsoft Report Designer)
Server was unable to process request. ---> The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. ---> The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure. (System.Web.Services)
I tried to deploy reports from VS 2005 on Dev to Prod (different domain, in WSS integration mode) , but VS keeps showing the login window ...
I set up TargetDataSourceFolder, TargetReportFolder and TargetServerURL in VS 2005 on my Dev machine as mentioned in MSDN article "Deploying Reports, Models, and Shared Data Sources to a SharePoint Site" and tried to deploy reports to Prod machine. But VS 2005 keeps showing "Report Services Login" window to me, even when I used Administrator account of that Prod machine.
The WSS log file on the Prod machine shows this error: "The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by the server administrators."
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance! I have searched for days for this issue ...

Parameter passing in SSIS 2005 sometimes appears to be a cumbursome task. I have been digging into this topic for quite some time and here i note down some simple steps to demonstrate parameter passing at Package level.
(1) Create a SSIS project using Business Intelligence 2005 Or VS 2005.
(2) Create datasource (.ds) and Data Source View as required.
(3) A default SSIS Package by the name Package.dtsx is created. Double click this and you are shown tabs for Control Flow, Data Flow, Event Handlers, Package Explorer. On the Control Flow, drap and drop Execute SQL Task from Control Flow Items in the toolbar.
(4) Lets now create a variable at Package level. Right click anywhere in the control flow box (not on the Task created in Step 3 above). Click on the Variables on the context menu displayed. Variables window appears on the left of the screen. Click the Add Variable box in this window to create a variable. Name it var1 (or whatever you may like), Scope as Package, DataType as String and Value as MyValue. This is only the default value.
(5) Now let us edit the SQL Task created in Step 3. Double on it, on the General tab you can change its Name, Description. Set ResultSet as None. We shall proceed to execute a stored procedure by name MySPName and pass it a parameter. Set ConnectionType as OLE DB. Select the connection you creates in step 2. Set SQLSourceType as Direct input. SQLStatement as MySPName ? . Note the ? mark after the name of the stored procedure. This is important to accept the variable value (var1) created in Step 4.
(6) Select Parameter Mapping tab now. Click on Add button. Select the Variable Name as User::var1. This is the user created variable of Step 4. Select Direction as Input, DataType as Varchar and Parameter Name as @var1. Click on OK now.
(7) This sets up the basic of parameter passing. Compile the project to verify everything works. Right Click on the SQL Task and select Execute Task. This will execute the package taking default value of the variable. This can be used along with dtexec command with /set option to pass the parameter at command prompt.
I am working on sharepoint 2007 integration with reporting service 2005. There are few facts which i am trying to understand and need some clarifications. Please provide your comments
1) While configuring "Database setup" in Repoting Service Configuring Manager" i found two modes 1) Native and 2) SharePoint Integration. When creating a report server database if we check "Create the report server database in Sharepoint Integration Mode" then it set the mode to "SharePoint Integration Mode". There is no option of switching the same database to native mode. So i have to create another database in "Native Mode". (IS THIS CORRECT. DO WE NEED TO CREATE TWO REPORT SERVER DATABASE SEPERATE FOR SHAREPOINT INTEGRATION AND NATIVE)
2) I am using the new report viewer web part in sharepoint 2007. When i am in sharepoint integration mode i can create datasource, report model and with report builder i can create rdl file. On selecing any RDL file in doument library and it gets displayed in Report Viewer Web Part. When i switch to Native mode i want to configure the web part to use the report created with SQL Server Bussiness Intelligence Dev Studio and deployed on http://localhost:808/ReportServer. (IS THERE ANY WAY SO THAT I CAN EXPORT AND IMPORT ALL .RDL FILE FROM http://localhost:808/ReportServer to http://localhost/ReportServer)
I AM NOT ABLE TO CONFIGURE WEB PART WHEN I AM IN NATIVE MODE i.e giving path of .RDL in report textbox throw a error saying "Item not found" i tried all combination. THIS can be related to datasource not reading in .RDL file in native mode while confuring report viewer web part.
http://localhost:808/ReportServer (Report Server)
http://localhost/ReportServer (SharePoint Mode) (Default Top Level Site)
3) LAST : I want to create a .RDL file report from the data in sharepoint, say lists or news etc. So when creating a RDL file how can i connect to sharepoint database. I read some where that in previous release they used to DATA EXTENSIONS and get the data from list in sharepoint with something like http://<servername>/<sitename>/List=Announcement when creating RDL file. Is the alternative in new release to create the report based on sharpoint list data.
I tried removing and reinstalling SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition for three times, including "all-at-once" component installation and "component-by-component" and I just can't get Integration Services to install.
When I install SQL server 2005 and select the option to have Integration Services installed, I cannot see the templates in VS 2005. Is there a way to tell if they have been installed on the harddrive? Is there any way to install them manually?
Would please any here give me any advices for where can I find the SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Installation Guide? The one I found online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx) is just confused me, which is just about the installation of SQL Server 2005 different version.
i have 4 different databases, in each one i have a table of customers i want to combine the 4 tables of customers from the 4 databases in a new table with eliminating similar records
Hello - We have been unable to successfully install Integration Services with an instance of SQL 2005 running on a Windows Small Business Server 2003. Installation proceeds with no errors, but when you attempt to connect to the Integrations Services and browse to where it apparently exists, the SQL Server Managment Studio returns the following error:

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?
I'm Getting "Report Server WMI Provider error: Not Found" when trying to Grant Database Access while configuring the Reporting Sevices Integration. Logging in fine to the DB. Tried all the WMI troublshooting and can't find any issues there. Any tips?
I created an SSIS package for a client that does data importing. When I run the pacakge from Visual Studio there is an error window showing all the errors and warnings. A good example of an error is if the import file is in the wrong format.When there is a error or warning can I write the error log to a file OR notify someone of the errors so they can make corrections and rerun the package OR any ideas that the client can find out what went wrong and then make corrections accordingly? Thanks

Hello, I would love to know where people are discussing the book Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services book by Kirk Hasleden.
I'm on page 41 and I'm getting an error with the example in the "SELECT "2004" FROM Sales.vSalesPersonSalesByFiscalYears" part because there is not a table called Sales.vSalesPersonSalesByFiscalYears in the AdventureWorks database.
All, Im pretty confused on this one.I have developed and deployed 10 packages on my Report Manager.Currently these packages are saved on a share drive in our company and are saved in the MSDB folder in SSIS Integration Services in Mngt Studio.Thses packages are also scheduled as jobs on the server itself.Our db is being backed up daily as well.
My question:
Is there any other way for me to backup the packages in the SSIS Integration Services?
Read on msdn, it states that the MSDB db stores SSIS and DTS packages.Does that mean in case my server goes down and I restore my database which includes the MSDB db.This means that when I connect to the SSIS Integration Services after the restore I would be able to see my saved packages on the server as before the restore.
Anyone out there who did a db restore and noticed if the saved packages where made available in the SSIS Integration Services after the restore.
What are the other possible solutions to ensure my packages are safe?
Is doing a FULL db backup, include saving SSIS packages on SSIS Integration Services.
Another Question: What about the reports that are made available in the Reporting Services,the subscription of these reports,the Roles that I have created and the scheduling being done for the reports.How can I backup all of these?How to ensure after a db restore all these would be made available in the Reporting Services as well?
We are in the process of doing a side by side installation of the SQLserver 2000 and SQL server 2005 on the same server. To install theReporting services feature of SQL server 2005 requires IIS. We have aseperate web server running IIS that connects to the database server.My question is : can we still install Reporting services on thedatabase server without the IIS?Thank you
Hi, Our team is developing an ASP.NET 1.1 Application that is written using VS2003 but using SQL Server 2005 as database. Can we use a Report Viewer Control that comes with SQL Server 2005 in our ASP.NET 1.1 application? If not, Can some one suggest some alternative way of showing SQL Server 2005 Reports in ASP.NET 1.1 application?
Does anyone know how to beautify the parameter control layouts on a report header?
For example I have a drop down multi selection control for a parameter for a report. I'd like it to be three times as wide. I could just add spaces to the labels but I'd prefer a more elegant solution.

I configured Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated Mode at a client and am running into an issue as described in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/942530. I got the Cumulative Patch 4 (and 5) for SQL Server 2005 SP2 from Microsoft and applied it to the Reporting Services box. However, I€™m still seeing the same issue. Has anyone else run into this issue and resolved it?
I'm doing a BI project and I already develop the DataWarehouse and the OLAP Cube. Next step are the creation of a report using SQL Server Reporting Services.Â
I am used to use a query from Data Warehouse as the DataSet to implement the report. Is usual ou benefit to use the cube directly on report as DataSource?Â
I am trying to do some integration between reporting services and sharepoint. I have some instructions that tell me to click on "Site Collection Features" under site settings. I go ahead and click site settings and find no "Site Collection features" link. How do I get this link to appear?
I'm seeing a failure to refresh dependent parameters in a report I've got running in WSS 3.0. The same report functions fine deployed to Reporting Services site and it refreshes all parameters when I change dependencies. But in Sharepoint document library it seems to post and redraw page but the dependent parameters do not update.
I must hit the apply button which will refresh the dependent parameters. I can then select the updated multi-select lists and run the report fine.
I do not think this is the desired behavior.
I'm running WSS 3.0 with SQL 2005 sp2 CTP and Sharepoint Add-in CTP which I found here: Add-in
Is anyone experiencing problem with parameter driven reports? Seems to be related to parameter depth/dependency.
Hello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine " No specific cube it fails on " Have created a Dimension only package, same problem " Changed the maxmemorylimit " Changed the connections to localhost " Memory DOES NOT max out on server
