Hi all does anyone know where I can find more information on the Render method of the Reporting Services WS?
Specifically there is a DeviceInfo parameter that you need to pass in and it is a string that is in an XML format but I cannot seem to find any documentation on the specifics of it. I have seen a few examples but no specifics.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated?
Thank you,
John
Hello all, according to the documentation for the DeviceInfo parameter of the ReportingService.Render method the Xml string fragment of PageHeight and PageWidth for the Image Device Information Settings should and I quote.
The page height, in inches, to set for the report. You must include an integer or decimal value followed by "in" (for example, 11in). This value overrides the report's original settings.
Emphasis mine. Page width is similar. However when I change that value to what is desired for the IMAGE format it has no effect whatsoever no matter what value I place in there.
Indeed the size that is rendered is more related to the current display resolution setting rather than the PageHeight/PageWidth values passed in. In otherwords if my laptop has a higher resolution of 1920x1200 and the server that I deploy this WS to has a lower resolution of 1280x1024, the image rendered on the higher resolution display fits on to an 8.5x11.0 in page with room to spare but on the lower resolution display it is clipped because it does not fit the page.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or is this indeed a bug?
Thank you,
John
Hi there.
I had been looking around for some info about this.
So far I understand that the showhidetoggle parameter determines which drilldowns are visible or hidden.
I am trying to use the render method, and try to show the drilldowns on my html page.
First question:
How does the showhidetoggle work in the URL or even show an example of how the drilldowns work through showhidetoggle ? In other words, how does the showhidetoggle knows which one to display if I have only one string value ? Maybe there is another way to do this or another way to define this syntax ?
Second question:
How do i determine the number or the string parameter without having to look through html ? is there a way to do this so that I can pass this string to the parameter in the ASMX ?
Thanks for reading this post !
Bug:
An existing SSRS 2005 data source at the root directory cannot be used by the SSRS SetItemDataSource web method.
Steps to reproduce:
1. On the machine running SSRS 2005, create a folder named Reports and upload an RDL file named "Existing.rdl" into that directory. For clarity the SSRS path to this report is /Reports
2. Set up a valid data source at the root directory (For illustrative purposes we'll name it DS).
3. Set up a web reference to a SQL Server Reporting Web Services 2005. e.g. http://localhost/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx
3. Try to set the DS data source to the "Existing" report by calling the SetItemDataSource web method.
C# Code Excerpt:
...
try{
ReportingService2005 reprtSrvc = new ReportingService2005();
DataSource[] dsarray;
string reportName = "Existing"
string _selectedFolder = "/Reports/"
DataSourceReference reference = new DataSourceReference();
DataSource ds = new DataSource();
dsarray = new DataSource[1];
reference.Reference = "/";
ds.Item = reference;
ds.Name = "DS";
dsarray[0] = ds;
//Exception thown ...
_reprtSrvc.SetItemDataSources("/" + _selectedFolder + reportName , dsarray);
}
catch (SoapException ex)
{
//Exception

I am using SSRS for Reports. Every thing working fine, but i have one problem when my rport get the 2000 record (each record showing on single page in my senario) then ReportExecutionService.Render method did not return array of byte[].
Can u help me as soon as possible.
thanks in advance

I have a report that I'm hosting on SSRS. I have it setup for localization so if someone hits the report directly and their default language setting in their browser is ja-JP the report will display in Japanese. I am using the User!Language variable for this.
I am primarily displaying this report through an ASP.NET app however and am calling the Render method on the ReportingService service, then displaying the returned HTML in a literal control. This works great except, obviously, with this proxy type of set up the user's browser settings get lost in the shuffle. I can retrieve the browser settings easily enough in my ASP.NET application but how do I pass those settings along to SSRS? I have tried setting the CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture on the thread executing the request but it still comes back in English. I have also tried setting the Language property (as shown below) but it seems as though that would change the Language on the report for everyone, not just my session.
Property[] props = new Property[1];
props[0] = new Property();
props[0].Name = "Language";
props[0].Value = "ja-JP";
report.SetProperties(reportPath, props);
Can someone help?
Thanks
Hello,
I am trying to render a Report in HTML4.0 format using ReportExecution2005 web service's Render method. When I use this, I am getting all the results in a single page. I want to display the results page by page as ReportViewer control does. Is there any way to get the total number of pages of the Result using Render() web method?
I tried using the following deviceinfo:
"<DeviceInfo><StreamRoot></StreamRoot><Toolbar>True</Toolbar><Parameters>True</Parameters><Section>0</Section><HTMLFragment>false
</HTMLFragment></DeviceInfo>";
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello all,
I'm at a bit of a loss as it seems what I want to do should be obvious but I can't seem to locate whether it is possible. Essentially I would like to render a report using the api/C# and I would like to set the actual data the report renders via an XML string that I construct however I like within my code. Is this not possible? I hope I'm overlooking the obvious here.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
We are using the whole BI-package from Microsoft - from SQL, DTS-package,Raporting Service and Analyze Service.
It should be very helpful to be able to create a metadata databases where you could find all releations between different objects (tables,views,reports,cubes,DTS-package,Databases.
Just to get answer for: 'where is view xxx used', 'what are Report xxx depending upon'.
While everything exists in different SQL databases it should possible to do.
Has anyone any comments or the same needs ?
Hi there,
Is there a way to programmatically save a RS results into Excel format using the render method ?
I had read about that capability but I can't seem to find any sample code on how to do it. Is this a parameter that you have to set in the render method ?
Any suggestion or tips are much appreciated !
Thanks !
I developed a java proxy application for SSRS(Sql Server Reporting services) and able to render the reports by making webservice calls to SSRS webservices. But I am getting the data for the complete report. How can I get only a partial report( like page by page as we get in the Report Manager)? Which parameters should I pass.
As some of the reports are too big, the java application is getting memory issues and I want to limi the data that I get from SSRS.
Appreciate your suggestions.

We have a billing web service where you passs in the account and amount and get returned an XML string with result.
I had suggested that I open up an endpoint and have the service listen for messages but the programming team wont go for it.
What is the best method for me to call an external web service? I have tried sp_OACreate and run into memory leaks and have not had much luck with assemblies. See http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1725&select=2180035&df=100&msg=2180035
All,
I am looking at implementing some sort of throttling whereby "expensive" reports are setup as Subscriptions (and hence are run by the Windows Service), while all other requests go the Web Service.
My question is:
Do the two systems share any underlying systems? I understand (of course) that they use the same DB, etc. etc. However, I can't quite tell whether there is an underlying engine that is a common base or if they really just spin up different instances of the same objects and essentially each host the application separately?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

There was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".
I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....
They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".
DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.
when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.
I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?
Hi,
Is it possible to call a Web Service using SSRS and bind the dataset to the the table in the Report? Please share your views.

Am using the Web service of SSRS to assign the roles for a user (which is already available in Report Manager).
Policy[] p = new Policy[1];
p[0] = new Policy();
Role[] R = new Role[1];
R[0]= new Role();
//RoleGroup Rg = new RoleGroup();
R[0].Name = "Report Builder";
p[0].GroupUserName = "MyMachineNamevikas";
rs.SetPolicies(@"/",p);
The same I have tried with SetSystemPolicy method also.
Policy[] p = new Policy[1];
p[0] = new Policy();
Role[] R = new Role[1];
R[0]= new Role();
//RoleGroup Rg = new RoleGroup();
R[0].Name = "Report Builder";
p[0].GroupUserName = "MyMachineNamevikas";
rs.SetSystemPolicies(p);
Where, MyMachineName - is the machine name where SSRS is residing.
bvikas - windows local machine user
I have used the above codes in achieving the mapping between the SSRS role and the windows local user. Getting error on this. I even thought of directly doing the mapping by putting entry in SSRS database. But found that few fields are encrypted and I would prefer to acheive it through API way.

SQL Server 2000 (all sps up to date)
SSRS 2000 (all sps up to date)
Scenario:
1 - SSRS + SQL2000 Database server
2 - Web servers
We have installed SSRS on 2 web servers that are acting as a web farm for a central Report Server.
After we installed SSRS on the 2 web servers the scheduled reports on the central Report Server stopped working.
We tried disabling the ReportServer service on the web servers and then the scheduled reports began to work again.
Why would the ReportServer service on the 2 web servers interfere with the central Report Server?
Can the web servers be used to load balance the scheduled reports?
Any advice would be appreciated.
We've recently attempted to get RS 2005 64bit up and running on MS Virtual Server and the installation seems to have worked properly (the RS Configuration all seemed fine also). However, when going to http://localhost/Reports or http://localhost/ReportsServer, it gives me the message "Service Unavailable". Everything looks good in IIS (using 2.0).
What else can I do to troubleshoot this issue?
I created two reports in SSRS and have configured both the web service and report manager URLs in report services configuration manager.
whenever I try to open either one of the two reports from the manager or service I get the following error msg.
"An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database.
(rsReportServerDatabaseError)
Invalid object name 'DataSets'. Could not use view or function 'ExtendedDataSets' because of binding errors."
I get a similar msg when I try to deploy the reports from VS 2010. Only the first 2 sentences are returned.
I'm mystified as to why DataSets is an invalid object name. It shows as the TargetDatasetFolder name WebsiteReports Property Page. I've looked around for the error source and can not find where this error is stemming from.

Hi,
Is there a separate service pack 2 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2005? I know there is a SP2 for SQL Server 2005 that was just released. I'm asking because SRS 2000 had a service pack separate from the SQL Server service pack.
Thanks.

In one of my projects, i have been using the SSRS web service to render a report as pdf and then manually emailing it out.
I need to know whether the data set for the report returned any data or not (so that i can avoid emailing the report with a blank report body).
Ofcource this can be done by executing the same query (same as the query for the report) from C# code and checking the count of the resultset, before calling the SSRS Render method. But it might not be an efficient method.
Was wondering the the SSRS Web Service provides an property or method that can let me figure out whether the resultset was empty or not (after the report execution).
Thanks.
