I have a report server set with an smtp account with Alias set to False but will not allow me to send e-mail outside the network. E-mail report delivery works fine to any e-mail with @mycompany.com but to an e-mail like @hotmail.com it gets rejected saying e-mail not recognized. I tried all config possibilities know to this man but nothing works. If long into the smtp server itself I can send e-mails outside of company. I'm thinking it may require a password from SSRS config but there is no place to put one. Any one know how to config SSRS to deliver e-mails to any and all e-mails accounts?
We are using RS2005 for a year now and never had any problems especially with mail subscriptions.
Since we transferred from single RS machine to web farm everything works ok except mail subscriptions. Subscription sometimes (?!?!?!?!) refuse to export report to a document of any kind. I repeat that this is a random thing which is more often with PDF and less with Web Archive or Excel. We are using shared schedules and on demand execution of AddEvent stored procedure by night batches to send mail to users. Also, original error from RS log says something that this kind of operation is not supported for server working in native mode. We don't have SharePoint so we never used it in any other way then native mode and it worked.
Any idea will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Update 26.06.2007
It seems that problem is not loading dll used to export report to a file but loading email subscription extension (dll that needs to be loaded for execution of email subscription.)

I am having a strange intermittent problem sending reports via e-mail subscription. The report will be delivered only 20-25% of the time. I have checked the SQL logs, SQL Agent logs, System, App and Secuirty logs and see nothing obvious.
I put a network monitor on the reporting box and looked at all SMTP traffic. What happens is the reporting server connects to the SMTP box, sends the From Address and gets an OK, sends the To Address and gets an Ok. Next the reporting server sends a RSET command to the SMTP and it closes the connection.
No e-mail sent, but reporting services/SQL agent indicate success. Here is a log of the
I am having a problem with the e-mail delivery extension in MS SQL Reporting Services 2005. I have some reports that use an Oracle data source. When running the reports through Report Manager the data source works fine and the reports display properly. But when running an automatic e-mail delivery of the reports through a subscription I get the following error message (in the ReportServerService log file):
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
Doesn't this seem strange when the reports run in Report Manager but not when I send the reports through e-mail? I have Oracle Instant client v. 10.2.0.3 installed on the machine. I am wondering if the e-mail delivery extension has an account that needs privilegies to the oracle client home directory or something like that. Any ideas?
is subscription using E-mail delivery possible in SSRS developer edition? act in the option for "Delivered By" in "New Subscription", only "Windows file share" is coming....
I have been stuck with this problem since few days, need help regarding the same. I am enclosing the problem description and possible solutions that I have found.
Can anyone please help me out here?
Thanks and regards, Virat
Problem Description:
I have a requirement for which I have created a data driven subscription in SQL Server 2005, the whole thing works like this:
I have a report on Report Server which executes a stored procedure to get its parameters; then it calls another stored procedure to get data for the report; then it creates the report and copies it to a file share. This is done using data driven subscription and the time set for repeating this process is 5 minutes.
You can assume that following are working fine:
1. I have deployed the report on the Report Manager (Uploaded the report, created a data source, linked the report to data source) - manually, the report works fine.
2. Created a data driven subscription.
3. The data driven subscription calls a stored procedure, say GetReportParameters which returns all the parameters required for the report to execute.
4. The Report Manager executes the report by calling a stored procedure, say GetReportData with the parameters provided by GetReportParameters stored procedure; after it has generated the report file (PDF) is copied to a file share.
For each row that GetReportParameters stored procedure returns a report (PDF file) will be created and copied to file share.
Now, my question is
1. How to I get a notification that this file was successfully created or an error occurred? 2. The only message that reporting service shows on 'Report Manager > My Subscriptions' is something like "Done: 5 processed of 10 total; 2 errors." How do I find out which record was processed successfully and which ones resulted in an error?
Based on above results (success or failure), I have to perform further operations.
Solutions or Work around that I have found:
1. Create a windows service which will monitor the file share folder and look for the file name (each record has a unique file name) for the reports that were picked up for PDF creation. If the file is not found, this service will report an error. Now, there's a glitch there; if a report takes very long time to execute it will also be reported as error (i.e. when this service checks for the PDF file, the report was currently being generated). So, I can't go with this solution.
2. I have also looked at following tables on ReportServer database:
a. Catalog - information regarding all the reports, folders, data source information, etc. b. Subscriptions - all the subscriptions information. c. ExecutionLog - information regarding execution of the subscriptions and the also manual execution of reports. d. Notifications - information regarding the errors that occurred during subscription execution.
For this solution, I was thinking of doing a windows service which will monitor these tables and do further operations as required.
This looks like most feasible solution so far.
3. Third option is to look at DeliveryExtensions but in that case I will have to manually call SSRS APIs and will have to manage report invocation and subscription information. What is your opinion on this?
My environment details:
Windows XP SP2
SQL Server 2005
Reporting Services 2005
Please let me know if I am missing something somewhere...
Does anybody have experience with e-mail distribution using Data Driven Subscriptions? I want to build the following:
I have a table with names and e-mail addresses of people in my data warehouse. This table changes over time, more people will be added and data (for example e-mail addresses) can change. I made 1 report that I want to mail to all the people in the table. This report contains 1 parameter; the e-mail address of a person. So basically it€™s quite simple: I want to e-mail all the people in the table a personalized (by the parameter) report each month.
Can anybody tell me how I can achieve this with SSRS 2005(SSEE)? I know how to make a data driven subscription but how can I make one pending on the data in a table?
Any help would be appreciated. I will write a blog about this when I've done it so your input will not get lost.
WHen creating publciations under 2005 i saw a very interesting option under stament delivery, for inserts , updates , deletes there is an option that simply says insert/update/delete statement.
I could find very little in BOL about this under "Article Properties", is this what it soudns like ? FOr example if you say :
update Table set Cloumn = 'whatever', this will not trigger the update sp for each row at the subscriber , will it actually deliver the update statements and literally do the update/insert/delete statement at the subscriber?
In my SSRS report there is a column with email field, when the user clicks on it -- it should open the outlook and in the attachment field there should be a screenshot of that report
i think anything i could do is only in the jump to url in the navigation tab......Please suggest me the solution or any other alternatives.
I try to send a report by email using SSRS subscriptions with recipients defined in an outlook email group. if 1 or more emailid are not a valid ones then SSRS does not send the report to any other valid recipients but displays the bellow error message!
"The e-mail address of one or more recipients is not valid."
In corporate companies, it is a common to find in valid/locked emailids in email group lists which can not be corrected.
Expected functionality: SSRS Subscriptions should send report email to other valid recipients in the mail group.
Could you please suggest a work around or fix the issue?
I am Getting this error in SSRS Report Subscription. I went to Subscription table Checked the Laststatus. The LastStatus is :Failure sending mail: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.Mail will not be resent.
We were recently acquired and need to move our existing SSRS 2012 mail server from our internal SMTP service. The internal service doesn't need to have a 'real' account to send email out. Everything seems to be setup and running under the internal service.I think I need to change the Email Settings information in "Reporting Services Configuration Manager". Namely the Sender address and SMTP Server fields. But without actually making these changes, I don't see where it is going to ask for the password. Really hate to make changes on a production server.
Do I need to change the "Log On As" account in the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" as well? If so, does this need to be the same account as used in the Sender Address (above)?. there is a lot of ink about making additions to the "rsreportserver.config" file. Our existing file does not have any of these entries.
Does anyone know of a link or list that has all the parameters for the "rs:" section of the URL access parameter, except for the ones in the Microsoft books?
Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
Is anyone else having problems with subscriptions and delivery with SQL Reporting Services? I can set up a subscription and uncheck "Include Report" and the email sends fine. When I try and "Include Report" such as a PDF I get "Failure sending mail: The Report Server has encountered a configuration error; more details in the log files" This was the default set up. I guess I am not sure as to what user/service accounts should be used. The Reporting Service and SQL are on the same machine (2003).
Thanks for ANY suggestions!!

hi all, I have created a report using sql server 2005 RS.Ive deployed it in the server(localhost)also.In the subsription section of the report manager ive mentioned a emailid to whom ive to send the report.Ive selected the report server email delivery method from the dropdown list.After entering the emailid and scheduling the report and when i click ok i find that the report was not delivered.Im getting this error.
Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information.
I'm new to SSIS but have been using BizTalk for a while. My question is, if the FTP task in SSIS ensures guranteed delivery of the files transferred. I know that in BTS, potnetially you can start processing incomplete files (unless you set the staging, temp folder). Can this be a problem in SSIS FTP transfer? I'll be dealing with very large files (5 gigs in some cases) transfers via FTP, on an unreliable network in my project, which means that the file can be partially transferred when the connection breaks down.
I need to know, if in SSIS
(1) FTP task supports partial transfers, and then resuming the download/ upload of these files from point of failure, when the network is again available (Regets, Reputs)?
(2) If EOF is received, before the rest of data is received, especially in the case if 1) is supported, then does FTP task believe that whole file is received or will it wait for the rest of content, before task completion?
I'll appreciate if someone can answer these and can also send me the details of FTP implementation in SSIS
I'm using the web service to run reports from an application. However, I don't want to wait for a report to complete; I would like to just have the report emailed to the user when it is complete. I've only found email delivery through subscriptions. Is there another way to deliver reports via email?
If I have to use subscriptions I would like to set them to run "immediately". I've found that setting the start date to sometime in the past does not seem to run the report. Is there some way to set a schedule to run immediately. I've thought of setting the time to the near future, but I seem to have the problem of getting the proper timestamp. Can I get this through the web service some how?
Is SSRS limited to delivering reports to recipients inside your domain (active directory)? I'm using an SMTP server for report delivery an have set the SendMailToUserAlias to False and still can only send reports to e-mails with my domain (user@mycompany.com). I need to send reports to recipients outside my company -- is SSRS capable? If so, how do I configure it to do so?
I am trying to send an email out, from an SQL Server with Microsoft Office 2000 Premium (Professional also available) (could have option for Office 2003 also) installed on it (only outlook is installed, however we can change that) It's Windows 2k3 running Microsoft SQL 2000 server SP 4.
I need to be able to, via SQL (or a stored procedure) automate sending of emails out via xp_sendmail or some other system, with delivery receipts attached to them, so that when they hit the client's server we know it. I can get it to send a delivery receipt when remoting into outlook and sending an email through outlook automatically, however it does not attach one to the ones going out with xp_sendmail. I know there's a way to do it via ASP.Net, but I'd much prefer to have a job that goes out and finds which emails need sent, and have the database server auto make the email, and sent it out on our behalf, instead of requiring someone to go in and click sends, and such via ASP.Net.
I was wondering if someone could elaborate (or provide a link) on how the once only delivery works for servcie broker.
For example you have DB1 that sends messages to DB2. DB1 has corruption at 1pm, you retore the database to 12:30pm, this will have all the messages that were in this instance at 12:30 , however between 12:30 AND 1PM several successful messages were sent. These messages are in the restored DB1 queue, they get sent again?
How does service borker ensure that these messages are not processed again. The only thing i can think of is that the inititator or target keep a complete history of messages processed. But surely this "table" would get huge and slow down servcie broker if it had to check this tale every time a message is sent or received.
I cannot find much in BOL on this topic, or maybe i cannot find the topic.
I have a delivery extension that prints to network printers. Now I add a subscription like a few minutes in the future via web service for each report to print.
Is there a way I can trigger the delivery directly?
I have configured sql 2005 to send Database mail via SMTP using a profile and account that works fine during a test send. However, when I set myself up as an opperator (with the same email as the test) and tell a job to email me upon sucess, and run the job I dont get the email.I looked at the error log, and get the error that: "an attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established"Any help is greatly appreciated!Dan
have new sql 2005 install. I thought I setup the mail correctly. I setup an operator and could send test email to operator. I then setup a job to send email to the operator when job completes. Got the error below
Date 6/16/2006 8:45:57 AM Log SQL Agent (Current - 6/16/2006 8:45:00 AM)

I recently got the datamail setup and running. I am able to use database test mail to successfully send a test email relay through the SMTP port of the exchange server and then out to the appropriate email adress.
When i use the SP_Send_Dbmail it says Mail Queue. I check the sysmail_allitems it says the Sent_Status is sent but I never receive it.
Everything below executes just fine and places the right information in the right msdb tables. I just never receive the email. Any suggestions on where to look? Service_broker messages is enabled and i restart sqlserveragent also.
Under SQL 2005 SSIS I can successfully send email (using their SNMP task). So I thought that was database mail. But the other day I started reading about Database mail and setting up profiles and it had nothing to do with SSIS tasks! So what is it all about?
