SSRS Report Tool.
Jan 29, 2008
Dear profs..
I am a system analyst and trying to do a report tools evaluation (crystal report, SSRS) to decide which report tools are more convenience easy to use.
But i don't have much knowledge about SSRS, so really appreciate for those who provides there professional advise..
Q1) How to install this report tool? Is it come with the SQL Server installation?
Q2) I try to install the SQL Server Express 2005, but cannot work properly as connection to server is failed. (Should i install the full sql server? )
Q3) Any useful information or links?
Thanks very much in advance!
Best Regards and Wishes,
Wilmos.

Hi. We've got hundreds of Cognos reports and catalogs and we'd like to convert them to SSRS reports and models. Is there a tool to do this? We're converting our reporting to SSRS and need help. Thanks.

Does anyone else have problems with the speed of the design environment for SSRS reports? We are using visual studio to create and manage hundreds of production reports (Oil and Gas).
It literally takes 5 seconds for the design environment to react to each change in the report layout. For instance, a common change is to reposition a text box, change the length, text, font size, font weight etc...:
Grab the text box - 5 seconds until designer responds - then reposition
Grab the edge to change the length - ditto
change text - 5 seconds for designer to "save" the change and allow next action....
blah - blah - blah....
So, performing the simple change above takes at least 30 seconds in addition to whatever time it took to edit the text box.
I've talked to the other developers using SSRS here and they all report that's "just the way it is".
Is this normal or is there an environment issue/setting we are overlooking.
Thanks, Mike

I have written a report visual studio. The report has 10 multi-value parameters that pull data from their individual data sets within the reports. When running the report from within Visual Studio it renders fine. There are no errors reported, only a warning related to a pathname I have use to retrieve image data and display on the report.Deployment of the report is error free.When I view the report I briefly get the "Loading" splash window, but then nothing. None of the headers or static text is displayed. The results window is blank.
The report defaults all the parameter values. In trying to debug the issue I have found by reducing the number of parameter values the report will render. Once I have all the values added, the report does nothing.Below is the query being used for the report. The where clause in the query shows the parameters being used and the syntax.We are running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

Here is a situation in my company:
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?

Hi,
I'm encounter lately some weird behaviour of SSRS in BIDS as well as after deploying on Reporting Server.
I'm running basic classical SQL SSRS Reports with Oracle DB connection. My reports have header and footer pagination and well defined report layer configuration. All the reports are simple based on one table and some basic parameters passed to query.
In query builder from BIDS from data tab, the query is running fine without any other execution delays. Also the query is runnign fine in PL/Dev environment.
When I switch in "Preview" mode the report hangs in execution and just showing "Report is being generated" without any resuts. After a while is generating an execution error (after 20 min).
The behaviour is the same after deployment on Report Server .
I now...here it comes...the problem is intermitent...some times the report is working...but most of the times it hangs on execution.
I checked the report from top to bottom and nothing's wrong from design perspective.
On other reports I don't have this problem and I don't understand where to start to investigate.
Any suggestions...I'm stuck here.
Thanks

I am trying to develop a report from cube,and it has one drill through report.when i click on sales amount field on main report,then it open the drill through report with details.Here i passed the **(category,subcat,product)parameters(Cascaded)** to drill through report in action part of main report.In my main report i have two columns .
columns are **Level** and **Salesamount**.
Values are like
**[-]category** **100**
**[-]subcat** **50**
**product** **30**
when i click on 100, parameters are passed & it open the detail report correctly, but when i click on 50,the values for subcat parameter is not getting values in detail report and same as the product also.
Here i used the expressions in parameter values
**pCategory**----iif(inscope(category),!fields.category.value,split(join(Parameters!category.value,","),","))
**psubcat**----iif(inscope(subcat),!fields.subcat.value,split(join(Parameters!subcat.value,","),","))
**pproduct**----iif(inscope(product),!fields.product.value,split(join(Parameters!product.value,","),","))

How do I get data on my linked report based on my grouped subtotal and grand total from the main report. The subtotal and grand total are calculated columns.
I have a 3 columns in my matrix in the SSRS summary report. Actn_COAST, ActnCITY and NumbOfAccts.
The following is code for my summary report. The results are shown below.
SELECT Distinct ActnCITY, Count(ACCT) as NumbOfAccts,
CASE WHEN ActnCITY in ('NY', 'OH', IN, 'NJ', 'SC', 'NC') THEN 'EAST COAST'
WHEN ActnCITY IN ('CA'. 'NV', 'UT', 'WA', 'OR') THEN 'WEST COAST'
ELSE 'OTHER'
END AS Actn_COAST
FROM tbl1
where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT
Code for my detail report contains the following SQL
SELECT * FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT AND @ActnCITY = ActnCITY
I have linked my report based on the NumbOfAccts column. I am able to get data if I click any of the NumbOfAccts values related to the state I want. However when I am not sure how to make the subtotal and grand total work. I want when I click on the subtotal of either coast, I should be able to see records of that coast e.g., if I select 37 I should be able to see all the records in East Coast. If I click on the Grand Total, I only want data related to those 2 coasts.

Hi,
I'm having problems navigating from one report to another one if the second report has a multi-valued report parameter. When I navigate to the second report, I don't pass any parameters, but I get an error "parameter is missing a value" for the multi-valued report parameter. I have it setup as allow "multi-value" and "blank value". Any idea what the issue might be?
Thanks.

I have a project with SQL sever reports in it. During a test upon returning to the VS 2013 Professional interface, the tool box area still had the previous information displayed and never returned to what should be there for the report design tools.I restarted VS, and the toolbox no longer looked like it did before. Specifically, the datatable tool among others was missing. I was unable to "refresh" the datatable after making changes to it.
I opened other Reports in design mode, and the tools did not show up for those either.The Report Items in the toolbox does contain things like Pointer, Text Box, Line and so forth.

------->Product BackLog items
----------> Bugs Or Tasks

I have done research and found out how to do it in OLAP cube ..but still can't figure out the TSQL query to be used.Found one of the query on forum:
SELECT * FROM DimWorkItem DWI
INNER JOIN FactWorkItemLinkHistory FWILH ON DWI.System_Id = FWILH.TargetWorkItemID
WHERE FWILH.WorkItemLinkTypeSK IN (SELECT DWILT.WorkItemLinkTypeSK FROM DimWorkItemLinkType DWILT WHERE DWILT.LinkName = N'Child')
AND DWI.System_WorkItemType = N'Task'
AND DWI.System_Rev = (SELECT MAX(DWI1.System_Rev) FROM DimWorkItem DWI1 WHERE DWI1.System_Id = DWI.System_Id)
AND FWILH.SourceWorkItemID IN (SELECT DWI2.System_Id FROM DimWorkItem DWI2 WHERE DWI2.System_WorkItemType = N'Bug');

Hello,
I'm using Reporting Services to render a text (stored in sql as varchar(max)). The text is all plain text, with some lines having trailing spaces.
Source text file i've imported to SQL via SSIS:
CLIENT: 10055
STATEMENT 2007
DATE:1002993
THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3
TRY THIS
*Note the trailing spaces on the line before 'STATEMENT 2007'.
I've designed a report using the Report Project in VS2005 to retrieve this text via a stored procedure. When I test the report using the 'Preview' tab in the IDE, it looks good
CLIENT: 10055
STATEMENT 2007
DATE:1002993
THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3
TRY THIS
But when I deploy the report and run it using URL Access:
CLIENT: 10055
STATEMENT 2007
DATE:1002993
THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3
TRY THIS
On all lines with trailing spaces, they (the trailing spaces) have been removed. This is affecting my formatting of some reports and statements. We really want to use the report viewer as it has built in paging, print and export capabilities.
Why does it look okay in VS2005 but different in Report Viewer via URL Access and Report Manager?
Note: When I export as PDF, it looks okay.
The stored procedure I use to return the data is a CLR Hosted assembly as below:
Code Snippet
Partial Public Class StoredProcedures
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()> _
Public Shared Sub GetPagedDocument(ByVal inText As SqlString)
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
Dim row As New SqlDataRecord(New SqlMetaData("RowText", SqlDbType.Text))
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select cast(doc as varchar(max)) as 'DOCTEXT' from testdoc WHERE id='" + inText + "'")
Dim cn As New SqlConnection("context connection=true")
cn.Open()
cmd.Connection = cn
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsStart(row) 'initialise the resultset to be returned
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
'If no records in result set, return.
If Not dr.HasRows Then
row.SetString(0, "There is no document to display or you do not have permission to view the document.")
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(row)
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd()
' SqlContext.Pipe.Send("There is no document to display.")
Return
End If
'Read rows in the result set
dr.Read()
'Get the entire text
Dim docText As String = dr.Item("DOCTEXT")
'debug
row.SetString(0, docText)
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(row)
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd()
Return
'end debug
End Sub
End Class
Any help will be appreciated.

How I can ensure that when the value is entered in textbox, it should accept any character ie. The SQL code I should write so that all the characters inputted via the report parameter are accepted.

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?
Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
I am working on an SSRS (SQL server 2005 BI Studio) report that has some tables joined by inner joins. Some of the fields in the report are grouped where as some of them are detailed. For eg. customer name, vendor name, sales order are all grouped and fields like qty, sales price , cost price are detailed. The calculations are all fine.
Now, the problem is that when I get the report to display the qty, sales price and the rest of the detailed fields, they are all repeated thrice which is not the case.In the sales order they are just one line item but my report repeats it three times i.e. three line items. So, if I sum those fileds they are added up thrice. I would really appreciate if some one could let me know what could be the probable area of problem. Could there be any problem with the inner joins?
Thanks,
Rashi

hi All
I think this should be easy but I have been going around in circles
the following is my code:
SELECT Ticket.TicketNumber, Ticket.CreatedDate, SystemUser.Alias, SystemUser.FullName, Ticket.AssignedAnalyst, Ticket.CreatedBy, Ticket.LastModifiedBy,
Location.LocationName
FROM Ticket RIGHT OUTER JOIN
SystemUser LEFT OUTER JOIN
Location ON SystemUser.LocationID = Location.LocationID ON Ticket.AssignedAnalyst = SystemUser.Alias OR Ticket.CreatedBy = SystemUser.Alias OR
Ticket.LastModifiedBy = SystemUser.Alias
WHERE (Ticket.CreatedDate >= CONVERT(datetime, @FromDate))
GROUP BY Ticket.TicketNumber, Ticket.CreatedDate, SystemUser.Alias, SystemUser.FullName, Ticket.AssignedAnalyst, Ticket.CreatedBy,
Ticket.LastModifiedBy, Location.LocationName
ORDER BY SystemUser.Alias
I have another table which I want to link in but whenever I do it totally recks my stats.
tbl.Activity
tbl.Activity.CreatedBy [Analyst]
tbl.Activity.TotalActivityTime
tblActivity.TicketID FK tbl.TicketID
My thinking of why I need a subreport
the earlier fields eg CreatedBy, AssignedAnalyst, LastModifiedBy will only every come up once per user per ticket each
Activity could come up multiple times on the same ticket.
Is this the correct approach? and if so how do I link it to the main report.
Please ask me if I haven't explained properly and you think you can help.
cheers

All,
I have a report that needs to return a number of columns from a table based on 2 parameters [StartDate & EndDate [datetime]].
Here is my dataset
Select * from table1 where start_date between @StartDate and @Enddate.
In table1 [start_date datetime ,example value=[3/6/2008 6:41:47 PM]]
My problem is how do I convert the start_date to [3/6/2008] within my Dataset.
Something like the below.[I get an error when I do the below]
Select * from table1 where convert(varchar(10),start_date,111) between @StartDate and @Enddate.
The reason for doing this is because when I pick, StartDate as 01/01/2008 and EndDate as 1/31/2008.My report only return's values of 01/01/2008 to 01/30/2008.The items that falls on 1/31/2008 do not get displayed as the datasets does not consider time when comparing,but only the date part.
Do give me a suggestion,solution to this.Thank You in advance!
