Setting Prompt Text For Report Parameters Dynamically
Oct 31, 2007
Hi all
I hope someone can help me on this issue:
I am designing dynamical reports, that are abel to run in four different languages - so far everything works just fine for me (I select my headers and labels from a database). Only problem is the prompt text for report parameters. How can I set this text dynamically?
E.g. I have a parameter where the user selects a storage - this prompt should be "Storage: " in the English report and "Lager: " in the Danish report. I have absolutely no idea how to fix this.
I am greatful for any help.

Hi All,
I am creating the report and setting the datasource(dataset) dynamically to the report. I want to set the parameters also dynamically. am using Report Viewer to process the report.
When i set the parameters locally, i am getting the below error:
An error occurred during local report processing
Here is my code:
da = new SqlDataAdapter(strqry, conn);
ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
ReportDataSource ReportDataSourceX = new ReportDataSource();
ReportDataSourceX.Value = ds.Tables[0];
ReportParameter[] parm = new ReportParameter[2];
parm[0] = new ReportParameter("Business_Function", "SQMO");
parm[1] = new ReportParameter("Application", "ETMRS");
parm[0] = new ReportParameter("Owner", "Subbu");
//parm[0] = new ReportParameter("Business_Function", ds.Tables[0].Columns["Business_Function"].ToString());
//parm[1] = new ReportParameter("Application", ds.Tables[0].Columns["Application"].ToString());
//parm[0] = new ReportParameter("Owner", ds.Tables[0].Columns["Owner"].ToString());
RptViewer.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ProcessingMode.Local;
RptViewer.LocalReport.ReportPath = "C:\ETMRS Reporting\ETMRS Reports\ETMRS Reports\PlannedTestCasesSummary.rdl";
//RptViewer.LocalReport.SetParameters(parm);
RptViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(ReportDataSourceX);
RptViewer.LocalReport.SetParameters(parm);
RptViewer.LocalReport.Refresh();
Can anyone please help me in resloving this issue.
Thanks in advance,
SR.

Hello all,
Ok, I finally got my SqlDataSource working with Oracle once I found out what Oracle was looking for. My next hurdle is to try and set the Update Command and Parameters dynamically from a variable or radiobutton list. What I'm trying to accomplish is creating a hardware database for our computers by querying WMI and sending the info to textboxes for insertion and updating. I got that part all working nicely. Now I want to send the Computer name info to a different table column depending on if it is a laptop or desktop. I have been tossing around 2 ideas. A radiobutton list to select what it is and change the SQL parameters or do it by computer name since we have a unique identifier as the first letter ("W" for workstation, "L" for Laptop). I'm not sure what would be easiest but I'm still stuck on how this can be done. I posted this same question in here a few days ago, but I didn't have my SqlDataSources setup like I do now, I was using Dreamweaver 8, it is now ported to VS 2005. Below is my code, in bold is what I think needs to be changed dynamically, basically i need to change DESKTOP to LAPTOP...Thanks for all the help I've gotten from this forum already, I'm very new to ASP.NET and I couldn't do this without all the help. Thanks again!
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CAT %>"ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CAT.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand='SELECT * FROM "COMPUTER"' UpdateCommand="UPDATE COMPUTER SET DESKTOP = :DESKTOP, TECH = :TECH, SERVICE_TAG = :SERVICE_TAG WHERE USERNAME=:USERNAME">
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="USERNAME" ControlId="txtUserName" PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="SERVICE_TAG" ControlId="txtServiceTag" PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="TECH" ControlId="txtTech" PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="DESKTOP" ControlId="txtComputerName" PropertyName="Text"/>
</UpdateParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Hi all,
Does sombody have experience on dynamically set or change the default value of a report parameter?
Assuming: report parameters p1, p2, p3, p4 have been set up(and have their default value 'all') with the creation of the report1; report browseing is through reportviewer that embedded in the web application; datasource is datacube
What I want to do: based on the login user of the my web application, set default value of p1 as the user's username.
What I did is:
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter reportParam = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("P1","Mary");
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter []{ reportParam });
what I got when reveiw the report:
P1 has no default value, and p2, p3, p4 greyed and could not choose value from them.
Any idea and suggestion will be pre-appreciated!

Enter Date: [ Textbox ] format:mm/dd/yyyy
Enter Age:[Textbox ] e.g 50
I need to include text like the one that I have highlighted in blue. Could someone help me out?

I have three databases which have the identical data structure. When the user runs a report, he has to select a database.
For example, my report query would look like:
Select * from <theDatabase>.dbo.MyTable
How could I assign the value of <theDatabase> at run time depending on what the user selects from the list?
In my datasource, I have only specified the server name and no value for initial catalog.

Hi All,
I want to dynamically generate the SQL Server Reporting Services by passing the query parameter from the url like this :
"http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fDashboardReports%2fHorse_Profile&rs:Command=Render&rcarameters=false&HorseID=117415"
Where horseid id my parameter which is needed by report to generate the required data.
This query paramter value is picked from the text box on my jsp page.
But my problem is when i go to this url it says the message
"The 'HorseID' parameter is missing a value ".
In my report i have disabled the prompt user option , enable the Hide paramter option and has given no default value for this parameter.
I have done a lot of search on this topic. Everybody says that we can pass the values from the url like i am using. But still its not working. This forum is my last hope.
Any body has any idea please give me some idea.
Regards.

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any way to set the service account on sql server 2005 express to Local System via command prompt.
To giva some background to this issue, I am installing 2005 express via command prompt, however, the default service account is network I believe. However, when running this, I keep getting an "error 3415" whenever I try to attach a database, which states that the files are "read only", which they are not. However, when setting the service account to local or set the security mode to windows authenticaiton, I can attach just fine.
The parameters I use to install are pretty standard:
"/qb ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=<name>SAPWD=<pwrd> SECURITYMODE=SQL DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SQLAUTOSTART=1"
So I was wondering if there was some way to set the service account to local system to local using some command prompt parameter. OR if there was another way around the error 3415 that will enable me to attach a database, that I do not know about that I can use, preferrably via command prompt, but anything will be fine at this point.
Thank you all in advance.

Hi there,
I've seen some similar posts to this one, however none with an answer and I'm wondering if anyone has actually figured out what causes this issue. I'm running SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I'm attempting to implement a folder structure for the report server, therefore am creating individual solutions in Visual Studio for each folder. At the top level i.e http://servername/reportserver/ I am able to deploy reports no problem.
However creating a folder at the next level in the tree and then deploying to that level such as http://servername/reportserver/ManagementReports causes a Reporting Services Login prompt to appear. No matter what user credentials I enter they are not accepted. I have full administrator rights the server, the site and the folders in question.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Matt

Hi:
I have posted concerning this-I don't mean to double post but I have
isolated the problem and have new information. (and I'm desperate!!) Please direct me to a DTS forum if this is not the place for this, I didn't see one.
I am trying set the data connection object (ODBC to Sybase) twice in
the same package but the Data Pump Tasks that use this connection don't
seem to be using the new setting in the connection after the second
time it is set, although at the end of the package I can see that the
connection has been set. The pumps just use the original connection a
second time instead of using the 2nd connection.
Here is the progress:
1. SQL Task1: Gets server information from a SQL Server table, and sets
it to a recordset global variable in the DTS.
2. ActiveX Task1: Begins loop, and sets the connection to server2 and
sets sql of datapump tasks
3. Several data pumps run.
4. ActiveX Task2: just loops around to ActiveX Task1
5. ActiveX Task1: Sets the connection object to server2 (msgbox tells
me this happens successfully)
6. The datapumps continue to use server2(??)
7. Package finishes succesfully
8. I right click on first datapump and do a "execute task". It executes
using server2, which for some reason it did not do during execution of
the entire package.
The loops works fine (as I have gotten it from you Allan), it clearly
goes through twice when I have specified two servers (I can see the
data in the resulting table is doubled from the source server, and I
can see it in the progress window going through the data pump steps
twice). After, if I run the data pump tasks by right clicking and doing
an "execute task" then it works using server2 was set.
I put a msgbox in the ActiveX Task1 to confirm the server is being set
correctly.
Any ideas here? Is there some other property I need to set? Is it a
setting with the Data Pump task? This all seems very weird-I feel like
I must be missing something obvious.
Here is the part of the code of ActiveX Task 1 (only part) that sets
the connection (let me know if you want to see the package):
Dim pkg
Dim SCCScon
Dim objRS
Dim SQLStatement
set pkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
set SCCScon = pkg.Connections("Connection_Name")
set stpEnterLoop = pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1")
set stpFinished = pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_5")
Set objRS = DTSGlobalVariables("gvDataSources").Value
stpFinished.DisableStep = true
stpEnterLoop.DisableStep = false
stpEnterLoop.ExecutionStatus = DTSStepExecStat_Waiting
msgbox "DSN is now: " & SCCScon.DataSource
SCCScon.DataSource = objRS.Fields(1)
SCCScon.UserID = objRS.Fields(2)
SCCScon.Password = objRS.Fields(3)
msgbox "Now I've set the DSN and it is now: " & SCCScon.DataSource

Thanks as always,

I am trying to dynamically set the name of a checkpoint file and I have used expressions in the package property and evaluated the following expression correctly
Expression: "C:\CheckPoints\" + "CheckPointFile_ "+ @[User:BName]" + ".xml"
Evaluates as: C:CheckpointsCheckPointFile_@[User:BName].xml
when I try to save the package, it comes up with an error saying
Error at Caller Package: the filename is not valid. the filename is a device or contains invalid characters.
Anyone know why?

Can you dynamically set the name of the table in the SelectCommand section of the SqlDataSource? (If it is relevant, I code in C#)
For example,
<asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="SqlDataSource1" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Test-MySQL %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Test-MySQL.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM TestTable">
I would like to replace 'TestTable' with the name of a table that is extracted from a string array in the code-behind.
Appreciatively,Peter

I need to make my site aware of which server_name it is loading from so it uses a different connection string. (have dev + prod servers for web/sql)Currently my connection string is in web.config as follows: <connectionStrings> <!-- Development and Staging connection string --> <add name="myconnection" connectionString="server=myserver; user id=mysuer; password=mypassword; database=mydatabase" /> </connectionStrings> I need to make sure the 'name' is the same for both connection strings since that is how the rest of my site looks for it. However, I'm not sure how to get both in here with some sort of 'if/then' statement to determine which one to use.I've heard it could be done in global.asax with something similar to the code below, but I dont know how to assign a 'name' to a connection string for that type of setup. Sub
Session_OnStart ServerName =
UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")) IF ServerName = "prod.server.com" THEN ...Set Prd string... ELSE ...Set Dev string... END IF End

Hi all,
I have been playing with integration services for a few days and at the moment, its up there with my list of software that I find ......painful.
What I am trying to do is read different tables from my one SQL database, then populate my Access database with its data.
I have put a foreach loop which goes through a collection SQL statements that I have entered into it. It first assigns it to a string variable called tablenameVar which contain statements such as "Select * from Terminals". Then the datareader is supposed to execute it based on the connectstring which never changes, and the SQLCommand value which I passed using the variable @[User::tableName]. However when I try to run it, I'm getting this error.
TITLE: Package Validation Error

I have a SQL Server database. The data from a table is populated in the table and can do a regular display query on a record without issue.
Problem is when I pull the data into a form the data doesn't show up in some form fields for editing.
I am building a backend for the manager to make updates and changes and this is vital. Does anyone know if it has something to do with a database setting or has had a similar issue in the past?
The reason I think its a database setting is becuase the same table converted into MS Access has no problem populating the text boxs and text areas.
Your help is much needed and appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have created a DLL and specific translation funtions for my reports.
With these functions i can manipulate all text and numeric data in anyway i want
depending on several user settings (like user language and user local browser settings).
The only textfields i'm not able to manipulate with my functions are the parameter prompts.
Is the a way to manipulate them through custom functions ?
A second question i have. When reports are deployed, they are deployed with there initial file name (file name.rdl).
Is there also a way that i could manipulate the description when they reports are deployed ?
example : when the user's browser is set to english he would see eg: Sales overview
but when the browser language is set to french he would see eg: Résumé des ventes.
Greetings

Hi,
I have a requirement to load tables in the database from files on a shared server (lets say 50 tables from 50 files). I do not want to hardocde the file path anywhere in the package since this would mean changing 50 packages everytime the path changes (say when moving to to a diff server).
In SQL Server 2000, I used a .ini file to pass the path and used a Dynamic properties task to set run time variables. That way, evertime the path changes, I only had to change 1 ini file and all packages picked up the new path from it. How do I do this in SQL Server 2005 ?
Appreciate any assistance / suggestion in this regard.

CancelSelectOnNullParameterHi,Suppose I have a SQLDataSource with a
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM STOCKS WHERE USER=@USER ORDER BY STOCK_NAME"
and @USER is set as a session parameter. No problem till this part, but in some postbacks, I wish to add a new WHERE criteria to my SQL, so I do:DSSQL.SelectParameters.Add("@STOCK_NAME", "ABC123");
DSSQL.SelectCommand = DSgvStoklar.SelectCommand.Replace(" ORDER BY ", " AND STOCK_NAME LIKE @STOCK_NAME+'%' ORDER BY ");
gridViewDS.DataBind();
and wish that my SelectCommand is modified and a new parameter is added.
The SQL is modified, however -I guess- new parameter is not added, so I get "Must declare the scalar variable "@STOCK_NAME" error.
How can I solve, any ideas?

The current way I have my asp.net 2.0 web app running reports is, based on an
interface the user selects the criteria for a report. The .RDL file is created
dynamically based on the user's selections.
I then need to SOAP the dynamically created report to the report server and
then the report runs fine.
BUT it requires Adminstrative rights to do this. Can this be accomplished
without giving the local machine admin rights. I am sorry if this question
has been answered before but i have not been up here in a while.

Hey
I've got a few questions regarding prompts on the Report builder
Can I change caption of the prompt? I intend to let the users know what kind of prompt that is, if the date they're choosing is a upper limit or a lower limit
How can I create a Between date prompt? I tried using the From..To but it disabled my option to tranform the Filter into a prompt, and from some reason it didn't let me execute report which had After and Before prompts on the same date field (tried it as some sort of work around)
I tried adding fields from a 3rd level table using the report builder, I.E, I drilled down to the 3rd connected table and I was unable to add fields ... any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I have a question regarding how to use report prompts in SSRS reports that are based on SQL queries.
When I added the prompt into the query for use as a filter value, it says that there is an error.
It does not recognise the '!' inside the parameter prompt string. Example is parameter!month_prompt.Value, which the ! is not recognised.
Your help is much appreciated.

I set up a stored procedure. My stored procedure has 8 variables declared at the beginning like this:
===========================
declare@IncurredDateStartsmalldatetime
,@IncurredDateEndsmalldatetime
,@PaidDateStart_CUsmalldatetime
,@PaidDateEnd_CUsmalldatetime
,@PaidDateStartsmalldatetime
,@PaidDateEndsmalldatetime
[Code] ....
All of these dates are based on the update of our data warehouse. This stored procedure runs a 5 step process and produces data for 8 - 10 monthly reports.
I was wondering if these variables can be updated dynamically and if they can how it is done.
