SharePoint Query On List - RsCompilerErrorInExpression

Aug 14, 2007

I have been working on this all day. First day using SQL Reporting Services.

Software being used -

VS2005 - SQLServer Business Intelligence Studio - with SharePoint Windows Services 2.0 Web Services

1. I have created a Data Source - XML - Which is a SharePoint List

http://xxx.xxx.com/sites/OpRiskSP/OpRiskTechPM/MMUpdate07/_vti_bin/lists.asmx

Passed

2. Next I go to create a DataSet - ds

<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/> <SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>


Parameters
1. Name = listName, Value = MaturityModelWorkingCopy

Next I Run the query and boom the data returns
Then I click the refresh button to populate the Reprots Datasets - called ds

Passed

3. Layout

I am assuming you can drag and drop the data fields onto the designer which that does work
I drag the first dataField and I get a textbox =

=First(Fields!ows_ID.Value)

Not sure what the First stands for

4. Preview

FAILED


[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter €˜listName€™ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'MaturityModelWorkingCopy' is not declared.

Build complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings

Any help would be grand.

How To Query A Sharepoint List From SSIS

Jan 2, 2008

I have been searching for a GOOD example of using SSIS to query MOSS 2007 list data. I just want to return the data from a list in Sharepoint and use that data in SSIS. It should be as simple as defining a data source to connect to a specific list and return the rows like a SQL query.

Can anyone provide a good example of doing this in SSIS (and by the way, I'm not looking for how to write a C# program) - I want to be able to do this directly from SSIS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SQL Tools :: Datazen - Query String Format For Microsoft SharePoint List Data Connection

Sep 17, 2015

I am trying to create a Datazen query against a Microsoft SharePoint List.  The Data View successfully returns records from the list; however, it appears that the Query String parameter is entirely ignored.  I want to use the query string to grab only records with a certain status value.

So far I have attempted specifying a View and Filters:

?View={B9FF1729-AB8E-4C55-B17C-C660480334BB}&FilterField1=Status&FilterValue1=Closed&FilterField2=Request%5Fx0020%5FType&FilterValue2=Project

Just the filters:

?FilterField1=Status&FilterValue1=Closed&FilterField2=Request%5Fx0020%5FType&FilterValue2=Project

And even:

?ThisWillDoNothing

All return the complete set of records in the list. I do not see a single example or comment online other than the claim that SharePoint List sources are supported.  How I can specify a Query String value that will filter the list records?

SSIS And Sharepoint List

Apr 28, 2007

i would like to know whether there is anyway to load the content of a Sharepoint(2007) List from a SQL server database.

have tried as a workaround to make Access database(.acc db) as a source for the List so that when changes made to the .accdb, automatically it reflectes the sharepoint list.

so i tried to make use of ssis 2005 to dts data from SQLserver db(Source 1) to .accdb(Destn1), then from Destn1 the SPList would receive data.

the Object that accdb supports to SPList is of Sharepoint List type i am not able to DTS data from sql server to accdb.



Any suggestions wld be appreciated!!!

Hello,

Anyone have any solid solutions for using Reporting Services 2005 to report against a SharePoint List and/or InfoPath Forms Document Library?

This seems to be a popular one for reporting against the SharePoint List, but it looks like there are some issues with it, such as getting it to work with Subscriptions...

Integration Services :: Best Way To Pull The Data From SharePoint List?

Jun 15, 2015

I already tried SharePoint List Source and found some bugs in it. Ex. Duplication of records, sometimes its throw an error: A possible reason might be you are trying to retrieve too many items at a time (Batch size).

I also used SharePoint WebServices and store the records into XML file and used those files as a source to load the data into Sql Server Table. 

Is there any other approach to pull the data from SharePoint List?

Filtering Sharepoint List Data Using Report Parameters

Mar 27, 2008



We are using xml to pull data from a custom sharepoint list into sql 2005. We have set a parameter that allows the user to filter the data by surname, however when the user tries to filter the list the drop down box brings up a list of every record, so there are duplicate entries for each surname.

Is there a way of filtering this so that there is only one instance of the users surname instead of it showing all the records?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Items In List A That Don't Appear In List B (was Simple Query...I Think)

Jan 20, 2005

Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following:
Code:
If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false
If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true


In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this

Code:

IF
(SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB)
Return False
ELSE
Return True


Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.

I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.

Can anyone help?

Reporting Services And Sharepoint Integration - Sharepoint Alternate Access Mappings (Zones)

Mar 2, 2007

I get the following error when I try to navigate to a report/model/data source, stored in a Sharepoint Document Library using a Sharepoint URL based on an Extranet or Intranet zone - but it works OK using the url for the Default zone:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SecurityZoneNotSupportedException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used.


Is this a limitation of the SQLRS-WSS3 integration or is there a workaround?

Many thanks to anyone who can help!

Problems With SharePoint Integration And Reporting On SharePoint With SSRS

Jan 17, 2008

Since I wasn't getting any replies with answers or suggestions to my initial posting, I figured I would continue to list the problems and solutions I've encountered while trying to setup and utilize SharePoint integration mode, and read data from SharePoint with SSRS reports (developed in VS2005). Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that is also trying to learn all this stuff and figure it out.

(Single server - W2K3R2_SP2 as: DC / SQL2005 Standard / MOSS2007 Enterprise - see the bottom of this posting for the steps I took to set that up)

Note: After I get this to work, I intend to post my experiences for setting up SharePoint Integration with SQL and SP on separate boxes.

1. In the new reporting section under SharePoint application management in the Central Admin Console, the Grant database AND Set Server Defaults work when using the domain admin account, but not when using the SQLSPS service account I used to setup both SQL and SharePoint. Why can't I use the service account? Is the domain admin account now going to be used as a service account for accessing the sharepoint database?


This question remains unanswered as of yet.

2. Reporting Services configuration tool shows Sharepoint integration as red x when I create a new database in integration mode. (the service account SQLSPS and the Server object are members of the group WSS_WPG). If I switch back to native mode (the original reportserver database), the red x goes to a blue exclamation instead. Using Service Credentials or Windows credentials (as either the service account SQLSPS or as domain admin) doesn't change anything.


RESOLVED by using a domain user account for the ReportServer WebApp. Even though everything is installed on the same machine, it seems using the default of NETWORK SERVICE wasn't acceptable. Possibly because SharePoint is configured to allow additional machines in the farm?

3. http://servername:8080/reportserver will display Report Server information as it did before the integration on port 80, but http://servername/reportserver doesn't display anything through SharePoint.


Resolved. I needed to define a repository before I could view it (go figure). When I created a sharepoint site based on a report center template, created a data connection library and report library, and then referenced that by http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, I was able to see the equivalent of http://servername/reports (which is now disabled due to integration mode).

4. Unable to deploy to new report center sharepoint site I mention above using Visual Studio. I kept getting "A connection could not be made to the report server http://servername/sites/ReportCenter. Server was unable to process request. The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service unavailable (System.Web.Services). In Visual Studio, the project properties were: TargetDataSourceFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myDataConnectionLibrary, TargetReportFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, TargetServerURL = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/


Found these errors in the event logs on the server.

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1021
Description:
The identity of application pool, 'ReportServer' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1057
Description:
The identity of application pool 'ReportServer' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1059
Description:
A failure was encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'ReportServer'. The application pool has been disabled.

RESOLVED the issue by changing the Application Pool used by reporting services from ReportServer to DefaultAppPool and changing the account DefaultAppPool used from NETWORK SERVICE to my service account SQLSPS. I have no idea why ReportServer is invalid, it was set to use the service account SQLSPS the same as DefaultAppPool is. Perhaps the reporting services add-on makes a change to invalidate this?

5. Attempting to read a SharePoint list using a SSRS report. This should be fun.

First, created a new custom list in the ReportCenter SharePoint sites I've been using and called it myCustomList. I added one item with a title of myCustomListItem1. I don't know if I need to do more than that for a simple test of reporting or not yet.

Second, configured new shared data source. Name = myCustomList1DataSource, type=XML, Connection String = http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (this URL is viewable in IE), Using Windows authenticaion.

Third, in VS2005 on a workstation in the domain, create new report item (report1.rdl). New dataset for report; Name=Report1DataSet, Data Source=myCustomList1DataSource (Shared), Command type = text, Query String = [See Queries and associated errors below]:

Initial query obtained from: Connecting SQL Reporting Services to a SharePoint List (David Wise)
http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx

Note: Queries when executing the dataset (which errors out) and when executing a query in CAML Viewer for the same information (which does work just fine) both initially return 401.1 and 401.2 errors (as viewed in Fiddler). Since the CAML query works, I have not tracked this down yet.


A. Original format from posting



<Query>
<Method Namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/ Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>
http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems
</SoapAction>
</Query>


Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList

Was NOT prompted to define the query parameters


- Gets this error: "An error occurred while setting the command text property of the data extension command. The XmlDP query is invalid. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions)."


- Advanced information from the error => 'http' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '"' or '''. Line 2, position 19. (System.Xml)

B. Changed: Placed the namespace URL in quotes (also tried with and without / in namespace after /soap)

<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems
</SoapAction>
</Query>

Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList (also tried Value => myCustomList) (no equal sign)

Clicked "!" to execute, and got prompted to define the query parameters
Entered Name => listName, Value => myCustomList

- Gets this error: "failed to execute web request for the specified URL (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions)."

- Advanced information: <faultstring>Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems/.</faultstring>


C. Try the query string that seems to work for Stramit CAML Viewer to read myCustomList

Stramit CAML query:
<Query xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef Name="ID" />
</OrderBy>
</Query>

Also tried
<Query xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
</Query>

And tried entering no query...

Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList (also tried Value => myCustomList) (no equal sign)

Clicked "!" to execute, and got prompted to define the query parameters
Entered Name => listName, Value => myCustomList

- Gets this error: "failed to execute web request for the specified URL (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions)."



- Advanced information: <soap:Fault><soap:Code><soap:Value>soap:Receiver</soap:Value></soap:Code><soap:Reason><soap:Text xml:lang="en">Server was unable to process request. ---&gt; Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.</soap:Text></soap:Reason><soap: Detail /></soap:Fault>

RESOLVED. Went back to the query used in B above, and mysteriously it works now. This could be the "funny things happen" symptom I've been reading about. We'll see if it continues to function.

Here's what I've learned so far on Issue #5:

1. XML is confusing. XmlDP is even more confusing...whatever that is. Apparently it's new to/with Reporting Services in SharePoint integration mode?
2. There is far too little documentation regarding XmlDP and querying SharePoint lists from SQL Reporting Services.
3. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx: You must use the generic query designer to create the query. The query is not analyzed to identify parameters; therefore you must create parameters through the Parameter tab on the Dataset dialog box.

Tried this query:

<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems" />
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>myCustomReport2</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef name="ows_Date" />
</OrderBy>
</Parameters>
</Query>
I was still prompted for the listName and the list returned with ows_Date still out of order. So maybe that proves this statement is true?
<translation: why make it convenient when it's already [somewhat] functional?>
4. When building the dataset, anything I place in the "Query string" box has to be enclosed in <query></query> tags or it errors out. I am trying to understand how to translate the CAML viewer query (which does work but isn't wrapped in query tags) into something that fits between query tags, and it hasn't gone well so far.
<translation: To be at one with your reports Grasshopper, you must understand xml>
5. According to http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx, "GetListItems" operation is supported
<translation: you're getting warmer...>
6. According to the soap output of my site http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems, I am only allowed to specify the following parameters: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID.
<translation: that and $3.00 will get you a cup of coffee>
7. According to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) (query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS).
<translation: that kind of sucks>
8. When this started mysteriously working again, I tested using the "/" at the end of the namespace (wouldn't work without) and the "=" sign in front of the parameter value as defined on the parameter tab of the dataset (turns out to be optional).

As long as I can query SharePoint and get my list information back, I'm going to consider this issue closed and move on to actually using this information in a report. I'm sure that won't work right either, but why stop now?!

6. Ok, now that I can read SharePoint list data with SSRS, I need to try and actually do something with it.


A. Begin by setting up new data to report on


1. Create a new custom list (myCustomList2) and add a test record. This list will simulate the data we intend to submit to SharePoint using InfoPath, so it has a number of custom/created columns in it


2. Modify the working information from #5 above; add a new shared data source (myCustomList2DataSource), tell the dataset to use the new shared data source, change the information set in the parameter tab (Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList2) and test the dataset. Lucky me, it actually returned the record I entered on the first try.

B. Begin to build the report with the dataset returned

1. So, as I'm feeling good that it's actually reading the list in Step A without me threatening to destroy the machine, I look to the left in the Dataset results navigation pane in VS2005 and realize there are NO fields for me to choose to report on.
2. At this point, I have no clue what to do about getting this XML data into a report. Not that I have a large clue about SSRS otherwise, but I have at least been able to build SSRS reports when using a SQL database as the datasource. Fyi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx states: "Reports can use data from XML documents and Web services, or embed XML in the query. There is no built-in support for retrieving XML documents from a SQL Server database.", in case anyone is trying to do that....

RESOLVED. Since the fields were not appearing automatically, I had started to add new fields to the dataset manually (if it doesn't work, beat it with a hammer, right?). I entered half a dozen or so fields, each one with the exact name as displayed in the query results, and then decided it would be fun to hit the refresh fields icon. As soon as I did that, all the fields shown in the query immediately appeared in the dataset and I was able to add them to a report. I don't know if I hit the refresh fields when working in issue #5, so I can't say if they are there now because of that, or because of adding some fields manually first, a combination of the two, or if it's just one of those mystery items I'm reading about with sharepoint reporting.

7. Rows are being returned even though they have NULL values (so far anyway), and most data is returning nicely for the bulk of the columns I created in the list I'm reporting on. Here are the current issues:


A. I have one column in my SharePoint list that is multi-lined text. If the text type is either rich text or enhanced rich text, the value returned in the query is formatted like this: "<div class=ExternalClassyadayada<div>My notes display here". If I set the column to be plain text, this doesn't happen. I will need to figure out how to filter that for my report.


RESOLVED. David Wise had some code listed at http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx that addressed this issue somewhat. I modified it to match my circumstances. Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, so use this at your own risk.


function ExtractMultiLineText(myField as string) as string
dim strBegin as string
dim strEnd as string
dim myBegin as integer
dim myEnd as integer
dim myTextLength as integer
strBegin = "<div>"
strEnd = "</div>"
if myField = nothing then return ""
if myField = "" then return ""
myBegin = Instr(myField, strBegin) + Len(strBegin)
myEnd = Instr(myField, strEnd)
myTextLength = myEnd - myBegin

if myBegin < 1 then return myField
return mid(myField, myBegin, myTextLength)
end function

B. I have two columns in the SharePoint list that are set as number values with 0 decimal places. When I query those however in SSRS, they return with the number plus like 12 zeroes behind the decimal. Not a major issue, but I'll put it on the list anyway.


RESOLVED. Used the Int() function; =Int(Fields!ows_myProblemNumber)

C. If I go to "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems", it appears from the sample soap output that I am allowed to ask GetListItems for is: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID. As I mentioned in issue #5, according to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) and query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS.

So, if I can't put anything other than this in my query string;

<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
and I only have a couple parameters to pass on top of that, then it appears to me that my options for filtering the amount of data returned from the SharePoint list is to figure out a way to do it with expressions in the parameters or in the report itself. Am I missing something? Is this really all I get to work with out-of-the-box?

2. Prep for SQL

2a. Install ASP.NET, IIS (www) and .NET 2.0
3. Install SQL/SSRS 2005 Std

3a. Verify SSRS works
3b. RS config tool shows SP integration as blue exclamation
3c. Use service account SQLSPS for anything requiring Windows credentials
4. Install SQL2005 SP2

4a. Verify SSRS works
4b. RS config tool shows SP integration as blue exclamation
5. Prep for SharePoint

8a. RS config tool shows SP integration as red x
9. SP central admin /application management / manage integration settings

9a. reports server = http://srv1:8080/reportserver (since default port has been moved to 8080)
10. SP central admin /application management/grant database access

10a. using the FQDN, confirm servername and default instance - click OK
10b. Prompted for an account to use to retrieve information; svc acct SQLSPS did not work, domain admin did though
11. SP central admin / application management/set server defaults

11a. Accepted all defaults
12. Verify reportserver answers at http://srv1:8080/reportserver (via reportserver AppPool and DefaultAppPool)
13. Changed the application pool identity for the ReportServer AppPool from Network Service to the domain user service account I used for all SQL and SharePoint configurations (SQLSPS) and rebooted. The red x for sharepoint integration in the RS configuration tool is now a green checkmark.

RS Integration With SharePoint 3.0 - Query With Userid Parameter

Mar 17, 2007

When integrating SQL Reporting Services 2005 with Sharepoint Services 3.0, and you have a SRS report that runs over a view with the UserID as a parameter (to filter the records the user has access to), will the SharePoint ReportViewer passover the UserID to RS and RS to SQL?

Sharepoint security with Reporting Services stops at Item level or does it impersontate down to SQL? Should authenticating be Integrated or SQL ? Should the userid in SQL be exact match with Sharepoint? Or are they mapped somewhere?



Thank You!!

SELECT IN List Query

Apr 2, 2008

I have a table that has a list of skills, ie "HP One", "HP Two"

I need to pass the these skills from my applications search page to a stored procedure, hence I have a snippet of the SP below.

DECLARE @SkillSet NVarChar (200)
SET @SkillSet = '-HP One-,-HP Two-'
SET @SkillSet = Replace(@SkillSet, '-', '''')
SELECT * FROM CPSkillMatrixLevels WHERE SkillMatrixLevelName IN (@SkillSet)

The following sp does not return any results, but when i set the last line to ..

SELECT * FROM CPSkillMatrixLevels WHERE SkillMatrixLevelName IN ('HP One', 'HP Two')

It returns a set of results. Also when I do a select on the variable @SkillSet, ie SELECT @SkillSet, it displays 'HP One', 'HP Two'

Can enybody help me here, i Know i'm doing something wrong, but I cant think of what it is.

Thanks
