Hi Room,
I am new to SQL reporting 2005 and wanted to setup SQL 2005 reporting on stand along server 2003 box.
SQL Server 2005 server and reporting services were installed.
Can anyone provide me some hints how to setup the sql 2005 reports.?
Any articles or links.?
Thanks for the help.

I needed to re-install the entire sql server 2005, I used add/remove program. everything went normal, except reporting service. I deleted the entire upper sql server directory, rebooted the box, however, it still shows up in services, even though the path does not exist. I tried to reinstall it again, but it complains about name already exists. I cannot change the name, but I am not able to find how I can remove it and reinstall it properly.

Hi,
I have installed SQL Reporting Service on one server. Using the config tool, I am trying to setup the Reporting Database on a seperate SQL instance. This SQL instance is running on a Clustered SQL 2005 server.
The creation of the Database is sucessful. However when I give the Windows credentials to connect to this database on the same page, I always fail at the following task : Setting Connection Info for Reporting Server. The error message is :
"System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706B3)
at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
at System.Management.ManagementObject.Get()
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.SetDatabaseConnection(String server, String database, ConfigurationCredentialsType credsType, String userName, String password)"
The Windows Account I am using has Full SQL Rights to the Clustered SQL Server. I have seen other posts on the forums about the 0x800706B3 error, but most of them are related to a problem with RPC.
The Reporting Services account is runing under 'Network Services'. I am not sure if this is causing the problem?
Thoughts anybody?
Thanks,

I have visual studio 2008 sql express, vista ultimate is on my computer however I have not installed sql express on my computer
I wish to install sql standard 2005 sp1 I have read microsoft's article 934164 before installing sql standard
I have a couple of questions installing sql server standard edition see sql-articles.com -installing
sql 2005
sql instances screen- can I choose default installation?
sql services screen do I need to choose domain name(I am a small business, I do not own a server, I wish to
use a third party to use sql reporting services . I have not registered my domain name
Windows authentication- I wish to use mixed mode.
I wish to configure user account later by stopping sql services and then installing sql sp2 (after windows
authentication screen)
described in microsoft article 934164
do I need to configure the server?(next screen after windows authentication)
I want to avoid a system reboot......
Is there anyway that I can make sure all the parts are installed on sql server and sql sp2?
Is it adviseable to configure my administrative account at the end of sql sp2?
How do this work? I just want to be prepared......
Thank you
I installed and started playing around with Reporting Services and realized that you are required to run IIS on your SQLserver in order to use RS. Is this 100% true?
Please tell me there is an alternative...this is huge roadblock due to company policy.
Thanks.
i just installed the SQL 2005 Standard just for reviewing before installing enterprise edition on a server...with cluster.
I noticed you get path 90 and mssql.1, mssql.2, mssql.3
1...for SQL
2...for analysis olpa
3..sql reporting.
And it all goes on one server and Configures IIS.
Is it advisable to have all these servicess running on one server especially the IIS SQL Reporting and Analysis...
If i have 10 developers all doing net and cubes they could be overloading the entire Server
If anyone has this configured where all three services analysis, sql reporting working ...i like to your configuration settings .....do you have all these on one Server
HI, this will prob be a stupid question but i have setup reporting services and am trying to use it, however, when creating a new project i only have Visual Studio Solution under other project Solutions and not any of the other types i.e. Visual Basic Solution etc. How do i get the other types? Do i need to install anything further?
Thanks David
Hello Room,
I am newbie to SQL Reporting.
I want to setup SQL 2005 Reporting in window server 2003 box.
1. I installed IIS
2. Open the IE browser http://10.1.1.1/xReport. It works.
3. Bring up Reporting Services Configuration Manager

4. When I tried to deploy a report from MS Visual Studio (BIDS). The Reporting Services Login window pop up and it ask login id and password.
Questions:
1. Where can I find the reporting services credential login.?
2. Is the reporting services configureation manager setup correct based on MS best practice.?
3. Any advise how it should setup.?
Thanks for the help.

I need to install Reporting Services on a machine.
Wehe can I find it ? (I have SQLServer Entreprise and Dev).
Is it included in SQLserver Ent or should I get another CD ?
Thanks
I have posted this to the general SQL Server group but without any response. I have also searched all of the forums and have not found an answer. For some reason all of a sudden, my Reporting Services is failing with this message when trying to connect:

I have now uninstalled SQL Reporting Services, reinstalled it, but I am still getting the same error. From what I can infer, there is a problem with the httpHandler in the web.config file. It cannot load Microsoft.Web.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory.
Does anybody know anything about this or what else I might need to check? This has been going on for two days now and short of totally uninstalling all of SQL, I don't know what to do.
Thanks.
I would like to setup replica for one of the databases for reporting. The current environment is a 2 node cluster(active/passive). I would like to add a 3rd node that can server as a secondary replica. The secondary replica will be on asynchronous commit mode.
The database that needs to have alwayson setup has column level encryption enabled.
* Do I need to backup and restore the service master key on secondary server in order to have the column level encryption to work on secondary server?
* What would be preferred Quorum settings?
* What is the setting for 'readable secondary' for primary and replica db?
* What should be the setting for 'Connections in Primary Role' for primary and replica db?
* We are trying to setup without a Listner. Do I need to setup AG Listner? Can the application exclusively use the [secondary instance name].[replica DB name] without a listner?
Here€™s my situation. At what must have been the last dialog of setup I clicked
Finish, then got this message:
SQL Server Setup was unable to install on your computer. SQL Setup has encountered a problem and will end.
The summary log indicates that only the setup of Reporting Services failed. Here€™s the section of the log:

All other products seemed to install ok, appear on my menu, and start ok. My server is serving up SQL data to the website and various applications.
What should I do next?
I have report server setup on the same machine where the sql server 2005 db is setup, as well as iis running the website. i simply need to get report server running to allow internet access. I have report server setup so that it is running locally (localhost), however, as soon as I change the iis site settings to a domain name, report server stops working properly. This looks like a permissions issue, Ive tried different combinations of settings, but nothing works. Any insight on how I can get report server setup for internet access (forms authentication), would be much appreciated.
thanks, lance
In an existing ssrs 2012 report, I want to basically add the following logic to a new dataset that will be used by a new parameter called 'Inventory'.
SELECT DISTINCT Inv_number as value, Inv_name as label
FROM s.dbo.fnUser( @endYear, 0, 0, 0)
WHERE (@report is not null)
order by label,value
In this ssrs report, there are 15 reports that can automatically be generated. I basically want this new parameter called 'Inventory' to only be active when the 4th report is selected to be generated. Thus in the query I listed above, how can I change the query to only be active when the 4th report is selected?
I tried to change the where clause to (@report(4) is not null), but that did not work.
Hello, I would like to know if anyone here has any information on how to change the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express which ships with Visual Studio 2005 to the new SQL 2005 Express SERVICE PACK 1?
I see a file under disc:vswcuSSESQLEXPR.exe I am wondering if changing that file with the new one from Microsoft Download Center will do it...
There's another file under that folder named sqlexpr32.exe I am wondering what it's for?
Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a project that requires integration of SQL Server Reporting Services with ASP.NET 3.0 Web Applications.
I'm working on Visual Studio 2005, with SQL Server 2005 on an XP development workstation.
SQL Server, Reporting Services, and IIS are all running on my local machine.
I'm trying to prototype two approaches, one using the Report Viewer control, and the second using the Reporting Services Web Service. I have the two examples setup in projects in Visual Studio.
The sample reports and data sources work fine in Visual Studio. I can access the report using the Reporting Services URL like this: http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fBTT_BDS_DEV%2fCustomers; Report works fine.
My problem is, that when I try and access the report using the Report Viewer inside an ASP.NET page or from the Web Serivce hooked up inside an ASP.NET Page I get a security errors. I have chosen Windows Security for the Datasource, and ASP.NET pages. In the case of the Web Service, I'm passing in my local domain user name as the credentials.
I'm prototyping this on my local workstation, but I need to design this to be used on our corporate Intranet using Windows Security.
My questions are:
1. How do I need to setup users on my local development workstation to get this to work.
2. How should I plan for user security for enterprise deployment, i.e. using Reporting Services inside a large ASP.NET Web Application?
3. Can anybody give me some links to some good developer type working examples of doing this. I've looked but have not found the answers
to the "how do I setup users" part of the question specifcally related to ASP.NET apps?
Below is the code example of the Web Services example app I'm working with which came out of a book I have on
Reporting Services. This example compiles and seems like it would work but doesn't. Also following are a few of the
error messages I get when experimenting with the example apps:

Thanks in advance...
I have a dashboard page that I would like to load fast. But I would also like the user to be able to run the report On-Demand. The report has start date and end date parameters which default to the first and last day of last month. If I use a Cache plan that loads at 6AM the report runs with the default parameters set in the report, the user has to wait until it completes before they can change the parameters.
If I uncheck "use default" parameters in the report I lose the ability to set a cache refresh plan with the default parameters because the option is greyed out. So is there anyway outside of creating a second copy of the report to allow a user to open a report, change the parameters and run it, but also have a way to schedule some sort of Cached report for the default parameters so I can put that on a WebPart page that would load instantly?
Dear All,
I am making web application using Asp.net C#(Visual Studio2005). And Sql server 2000 as a back End upgraded with service pack 3 and analysis service.
Now I am trying to install sql server 2000 report services. But I run SQL2KRSSP1-ENG.EXE setup
Then following error occurs
The upgrade patch can not be installed by window installer because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
I redownload the same exe to other location. And again run but getting same error
Please Guide me or atleast give some help full link.

Yesterday, literally I was banging my head to the wall, kept getting this error:
A Connection could not be established with the information provided. Hit OK to change your connection settings.
Invalid object name 'sysdatabases'.
I uninstall and re-install back the reporting services couple times and I kept getting the same error.
I have 2 instances of SQL Server on the same Server:
SQL Server 2000
SQL Server 2005
The 2 instances work side by side, I was wondering if this causing the error.
Can anyone help out with this problem?
Thanks - John
I want to create a datasource but the credentials I want to use will be based on the user running the report rater than hard coded.
I have tried using Windows Integrated Security but all i can is cant log in as NTAnonymous User?
I got this error message during SQL Server Express install with no error code on Server 2003 SP1. I'm installing on an older development machine and although I do have a very large log file somewhere I wanted to post before I even dug into it. I noticed in IIS under my Webs that the MSSQLExpress webs were there at first but when I clicked on them to get any info or Properties... they dissapeared. So they were almost installed but they no longer exist. Also I do not have a SQL Service Manager icon down near the clock.
I almost took a step to fix this. After reading a few posts about similar problems I thought maybe this happened because the Default Web Sites IP # was not set to (All Unassigned). I was going to try a repair install from Add/Remove Programs but the temporary setup files are already gone. I really dont want to uninstall all 5 SQL components from Add/Remove Programs and start from scratch.
As good security practice we usually remove the Default Web or as in this development servers case we changed the IP from (All Unassigned) to an IP that is only accessible from certain machines on the internal network. I obviously should have read more pre setup guides. Anyway how can I fix this without reinstalling everything?
I recently installed SQL 2005. During the setup, I didn't get the option that makes me add the licensing module I'm using. I don't want to be slapped in the wrist by microsoft. After setup, how can I check the licensing used?

Im about to upgrade all our SQL 2000 Servers to 2005
In your setups do you install the anlaysis services, reporting services on separate servers rather than all on the same server.
Currently we have separate servers for web IIS and was wondering if to install on three different servers
I am trying get a database setup in my new install of VS 2005. I have a project on one PC where I just have VS2005 installed and i am able create a website, go to the APP_DATA folder and add a database. On another PC I have VS 2005 installed and then I installed SQL server 2005. Now I fail to connect to ??? when I try and enter the sercuity page of webconfig or try to add a database when I open the APP_DATA folder. There have been many things done on this PC between the install of the two mentioned packages and trying this database creation. However, I feel that something related to the install of SQL Server 2005 after VS 2005 has done something unexpected. Or, I need to manage something between the SQL Express version that got loaded with VS 2005 and the subsequent install of SQL Server. I just don't know what to look for at this point.

I'm a Network Administrator that has to do everything from desktop to server, to routing, and DBA so I need a bit of advice. Stretched thin for time and knowledge in the SQL area and trying to do the best I can.
I currently have a MS SQL 2000 database that is 60GB in size for MS Dynamics 8.0 and one that is 2GB that I want to move to a new server.
I've setup and tested it and it all works, now I'm looking for some Best Practices information for best performance. Currently doing about 3,000 transactions a day.
Server is HP ML350-G5 2 Xeon Dual Core 2.0GHz CPUs w/16GB RAM w/external drive bays running 72GB 15K SAS drives with SMART ARRAY P800.
OS is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise w/SP2 - MS SQL 2005 Standard
I have the following drive configurations setup.
C:(RAID1+0)OS - SQL 2005
D:(RAID1+0)Dynamics Application Shared dictionary files for clients
G:(RAID0)BACKUPS (see note below about TEMPDB) I also have a 25GB swap file on this drive maybe better to put in on the D: volume if I put TEMPDB here
H:(RAID1+0)LOGS (2 user db logs and the tempdb log)
I:(RAID1+0)DATA (2 user db - [model, msdb, master]
Recently found that my G: drive (RAID0) only has space for 2 backups (poor space planning on my part) before I need to move the files. Normally I backup the DB with BackupExec 10.1d just fine in about 2 hours over the wire at night since no one is in the DB at night.
Was wondering if putting my TEMPDB there on (RAID0) would be advisable or not. In SQL 2005 it gets rebuilt each time SQL is restarted so it would seem that ensuring it's on a RAID1 or RAID1+0 might not be as necessary as say the DATA files.
Then if I really wanted to I could actually do backups on the I:DATA drive at night and then use TAPE to back that up, and use an automated script to move them off to offline storage once the TAPE backup is done.
For the [model, msdb, master] should they need to be on the I:DATA drive or just leave them on C:OS ? Not sure how much they're actually used.
Also doing some brief testing the Microsoft Dynamics was much slower on the new Server than it was on the original. Odd to me since the new Server is like a McLaren F1 racing a Ford Pinto. The old server is running a single P4 CPU and 6GB RAM
I've set MS SQL 2005 to use 12GB of RAM on the new server so as to leave 4GB for other Server tasks.
I ran the Maintenance Wizard and had it do checks and defrag and index rebuild etc... so not really sure why the speed would be noticeably slower. One thing I did notice is that once a screen query was ran then the next time it was a bit faster but overall I was expecting to see the screens fly by on this new hardware and SQL 2005 but it doesn't really do that.
I've read some of the white papers etc for tuning, but wow I just don't have unlimited hours to do all this analysis, there seem to be hundreds of pages to read on that type of stuff.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Hello I have installed Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, as well as Visual studio 2005 Standard edtion. I installed SQL 2005 express edition after installing Visual Web developer 2005 Express Edition! at least I thought I did. I most recently tried to install the SP1 of SQL 2005 express edi... and I seem to have gotten a failure to install message with (sa) in the message(I remember it from the first install but it had gone away on 2nd attempt). I have a two part question (1 Does VWD 2005 Express Edition have SQL 2005 Express Edi... included within it can this be causing the failure and, (2 how can I resolve this problem.
Thank You,

OK we currently have a single SQL 2000 Server for our DW with a DR SQL 2000 Server. We are wanting to create a setup where we have a Failover Cluster of SQL 2005 here at the main office with a DR SQL 2005 system at our DR site. My question is... How would you all do the failover and stuff? How many servers would I need and what would be the job/role for each server. Some things to take note we are implimenting a SAN in our network and we are also implimenting a Virtual Server system on our network. To my understanding you do not really wish to run SQL Servers on a Virtual machine if possible. So I am already planning on making the SQL Servers Physical systems. We are also planning on putting the DB's on the SAN and have the SAN replicate all the data to DR. So... How would you all invision things to be setup? Is there any good documentation I can read about this type of setup. Thank you in advance for all the advice you can provide.
Thanks,
Billy S.
So, here's my problem..
I've been working on getting SQL 2k5 installed for a few days now. It's been the single most trying installation I've ever attempted. Absolutely riddled with problems.. I've had to do integrate SP2 and XP and reinstall my OS... I've literally lost 15-20 hours of my life to this.
So here's my newest problem.
I've new to the techie world so try and make sense of this. Thanks.
