In one of my SSIS Project tasks I insert some records into a table. I want to somehow fire off an SSRS report and send this report to some staff members. how would I add a component to reference or run an SSRS report off the table I just inserted to all from SSIS? I assume I'd h ave to create the report in SSRS first, then somehow reference it from SSIS and then figure out a way to run the report, maybe export it into Excel format and send to the users....not sure how to go about all this in my SSIS package.
We have an Office SharePoint 2007 site, we developed a couple of web parts and added them to our site. We used SQL Server Reporting services 2005 as our reporting solution. The reports are hosted on the report center and when we need a report, we open it by sending a URL requesting the report, passing the report parameters in the URL query string. So the report is filtered based on the parameters passed from the web parts.
But since best practices say that you should host reports directly under SharePoint, by configuring the reporting services to run in the SharePoint integrated mode. We followed the steps and installed SharePointRS and we finally succeeded to publish the reports to a SharePoint folder, but we had a limitation: we are unable to pass the report parameters internally to the report hosted in SharePoint. If we passed them in the query string as the report center case, SharePoint neglects them totally. So the question is: how can I pass parameters internally between a SharePoint web part and a SQL server 2005 reporting services report hosted in SharePoint?
A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.
I have RS 2005 SP1. I have a report model developed and deployed.
I have a scenario and I am not sure if it is possible to create a report for this scenario using the report builder. Let's say I have a customers entity and address entity that is related to the customer's entity as a 1-many relationship. I have the effective date on the address that specifies the date from which the address is effective. A customer will have multiple records in address with the latest effective date as the latest address of the customer.
Suppose, I need to create a report using the report builder to get the list of latest address for customers, how can I do it? I know it can be done using the report designer using a query that uses the group by clause. But can it be done using report builder?
I have an SSIS package. It updates a table in SQL Server 2005 database. There is another SSRS report that presents my final table and I run it and export it into Excel.Is it any way after SQL Query task and Store procedures are being finished in my SSIS package, I add another object to run my SSRS report and export it to Excel format?
I have a requirement, want to generate the PDF report from source data sql table records through SSIS package without using the SSRS tool. i came to know calling this SSRS report generate the PDF report. but my case without using the SSRS tool, needs to prepare the PDF report.
I have created a report using SSRS 2012. To create a pdf report, I use SSIS 2008. When I run debugging in SSIS, the pdf report is generated correctly.
But when I run the SSIS as a job in SQL 2012, the pdf report is generated with o bytes. When I tried to open it with Adobe, there is error, something like - Adobe Reader could not open PPAA.pdf because it is either not supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
I am basically new as far as SQl server 2005 concern. I want to try out reporting services provided by sql server 2005. That is make report using sql server 2005 and call that report from web or window application.
Please guide me in doing so or give me some useful link. Thanks
How do I pass a parameter from a SSRS report to the sql stmt in a SSIS package? Mainly need to know the correct syntax of the connection string to use for the datasource in the SSRS report. Every time I add the /SET part of the string the connection breaks. The connection string i've been using is: /file "C:\PackageName.dtsx /Set Package.Variables[StartDate];"&Parameters!StartDate.Value
I am trying to setup a process in which a user, who is using a vb.net 2008 application, will need to trigger the creation of two items. The first is SSRS report which will need to be exported to PDF format to a shared folder on the network.
This report accepts one parameter. The second thing that will need to be created at the same time is an excel file with data exported from SQL Server 2008 which is generated through an SSIS package. A couple things to note. The excel file and the pdf file need to have the same file name, other than the extension.
For example P00000001_20100831.pdf and P00000001_20100831.xlsx and will both be stored in the same network share. The filenames need to be created dynamically at run time and will be based on a parameter being passed to the report.
So far I have the portion that creates the excel file working fine. The way I create that is as follows. I have a stored procedure that creates a job which calls the SSIS package and passes the appropriate parameters to the SSIS package.
After the job is created I immediately run it and then delete the job. Ok, everything works fine with that.
Now I cant seem to figure out how to get the pdf created. If possible I would like to keep this portion together with the already created job or package. I am running SQL Server 2008 standard so the data driven subs are out. I have thought about create a time subscription and then just using a SQL task in the package to execute the subscription but couldnt figure out how to pass the parameter to the report and create the filename.

I'm looking to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition). I'm interested in using SSIS, SSRS and SSAS. I hear that BIDS runs inside of Visual Studio 2005, and comes with the SQL 2005 software. I currently have VS 2003. My question is: Do I need to purchase anything besides SQL Server 2005 Standard, or do I need to buy anything separately, like VS 2005? (if so, which version would you recommend?)
We have been, successfully, using SSRS 2005 with SQL databases. Now are trying to do create SSRS 2005 reports using an Oracle database. What components do I need to install on our SSRS 2005 server to successfully render a report, in a web browser, using an Oracle 9i database. Any help would be appreciated.
We are currently designing a report which we hope is possible. Each month the clients employees upload receipts as PDF's to the network and then fills out their form as needed.
We are planning to upload the PDF's to a Microsoft Office 2007 sharepoint site which we would like to then pull out and use as being part of the report.
So page one will be a list of expenses pulled from a database table and the remaining pages will then be the PDF's showing as part of the report. I have seen the Jump to URL option but that presents a hyperlink option only. I need to see the actual pdf in the report.
Has anyone done anything similar where they have extract a PDF to show in a SSRS 2005 report
I don't know how best to explain this but will try.
In my SSRS 2005 report, i have one group in my table. In that group, I have a field that for each company record in my dataset, this field value is repeated for each record. This is a transactions table so you'd expect several records in the dataset for each company..that's not the problem.
Footer 209409730.83 (totals up all feegoals! not just unique instances!)
I have a footer, and this is where the problem comes in. I am not able to sum 100 + 400 because if I do a SUM(=Fields!FeeGoal.Value) It doesn't just sume up 100 + 400 but rather (100 + 100 + 100) + (400 + 400)
I can't find a way to sum up basically the top values for FeeGoal which is really what the Group Field is doing since I get 100 and 400 in my group field for feeGoal. I should end up with a total of 500 for my footer total for Fee Goal but not sure how to get this to work in this unique situation.
FYI: FeeGoal is an input from an ASP.NET form to allow managers to update that one column in my report so that other calculations can rely on it in my group fields. Once the user finishes, I run a stored proc to insert that fee goal in every customer transaction record / feegoal field
I guess is there a way to do some sort of Distinct SUM in an expression? I also tried:
but you can't have an aggregate function like this, I get this error:
[rsAggregateofAggregate] The Value expression for the textbox 'GrossGoal_gt' contains an aggregate function (or RunningValue or RowNumber functions) in the argument to another aggregate function (or RunningValue). Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions.
Where can a person go to report SSRS 2005 bugs? I didn't see any area for error reporting.
These are the few bugs I've recorded, but I've seen so much more :( On 2005sp1, and mainly using ssas 2005 for source data:
When you have an existing report parameter that was created by the graphical query designer area for dataset1, and then you go to make another dataset and add the same hierarchy and choose for it to be a parameter, it will overwrite what parameter settings you just had (ie, not multivalue and a special default value I desired).
When adding subsequent series or category fields to a chart, the default series/category grouping name remains the same and causes a error when attempting to run the report. IE: chart2_CategoryGroup1, chart2_CategoryGroup1, chart2_CategoryGroup1 - all names are the same for all of the 3 groupings that I've added.
When I run a report for a purchase order, the report duplicates records for product codes.For example the purchase order is: P000976, the report display the product code twice when it should only appear once. 45-5540 appears twice.
Hello, I have a report that is made out of many subreports. It takes a long time to produce this report. Is there a away of knowing and displaying to the user which sub report is produced now? Is there a way of making status info sent to the UI? Somthing like OnStartPage/OnStartReport (now send status to UI somehow)?
I have created a report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. After I export it to Excel format, if I try to print it (Hardcopy), my Excel crashes. It shows an error and shut down. I'm using Excel 2000. It even shows me same error when I click on "Print Preview", in Excel.
Everytime I try to print the excel worksheet, a window pops up with the heading "Visual Studio Just-in-Time Debugger". The error is: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in EXCEL.EXE [3460]".
From a aspx page I was able to Pass values (valid values) for the parameters to SSRS report 2005 which uses OLAP cube as datasource and got back the expectd result. but when I pass value other than a valid value i am getting ERROR message. do we always have to pass valid values only? any help is greatly appreciated.
I am having issues getting my report parameters to refresh when changing their values. I am running SP1 and am trying to mimic the functionality of the Select All for the multi-valued drop-down list. I have a boolean field that I pass to the query that populates the multi-valued list and set a field value to either what is displayed in the list or a -1 (a non-valid option). I then set the default value of the multi-valued list to the value of the new field I created in the query based on if they want to select all values or not.
This works great on the first choice, if I select no, nothing is checked in the list and if I select yes then everything is selected. However, if I select Yes and select No, everything remains checked. It acts like it does a refresh, but does not.
Hello, I am currently creating reports using SSRS 2005 on my local machine. I think I will have to set up a report server machine so that each time I deploy the created reports from my machine to the report server. How do I create and setup the report server to hold the reports please? Thanks
I've a question regarding VS 2005 and SSIS (BIDS -- Business Intelligence Development Studio)
I will be moving the existing databases from MS-Access 2003 to Sql Server 2005. My question is I've Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition version 80.0.50727.42 installed on my system. How do I access Sql Server 2005 , SSIS and SSRS. I mean BIDS using VS 2005?
Does Sql Server Express edition which comes with VS 2005 give me access to work with SSRS and SSIS?
I have been asked to re-write an existing system that is in Access 2010 and have everything now .NET and SQL Server. The tables I have successfully moved but I am battling to import the reports. In my SSRS 2005 I only have an option to import from mdb or adb files not accdb that is 2010 Access.
I am very new to Reporting Services. When I set the report to landscape, either by setting width and height at 11 X 8.5 when in layout, or by setting landscape in page setup when I am in preview, a blank page prints in between each report page. I've checked the forum, and tried setting margins to 0, but have not had any success. I saw this response:
the body width plus margins should be less than the defined page width. but I'm not sure what settings are being referred to
I am using WIN XP PRO with IIS installed. Installation (including SSRS) seems OK.
If I go into new project and select Business Infomration / New Report I can select datasource, etc, design a and get to a deployment window. Default is Report Server: http://localhost/ReportServer Deployment Folder: Report Project2
I can preview a report just fine.
If I go to Debug or Deploy I get a error message box that starts with "A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/ReportServer"
Am I missing a component on my system or can you suggest something else I should look at?
