MS SQL Server :: SharePoint Set Server Defaults

Unable To Perform Set Server Defaults In Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration

Apr 12, 2007

I'm not quite sure where to post this question, so I'll try here. We've been struggling getting SQL2005 reporting services integrated with Share Point Services 3.0 for several days now.

We've installed SQL Reporting Services with SP2 and run the SharePoint Reporting Services add-in. We've been able to go through the SQL Reporting Services Configuration and now were at the last step in the SharePoint Application Management Reporting Services configuration.

The first two steps of Manage Integration Settings and Grant Database Access was sucessful. The final step of "Set Server Defaults" gives us a 404 error message. There is nothing in the Event Log to suggest that there was a problem, and the SQL2005 Server is in SharePoint Integration mode. I've searched but can't find a solution. Can anyone steer me in the right direction please?

Data Import Excel XML Defaults Which File Governs Excel Defaults?

Jul 21, 2015

I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSMappingFiles

Assuming one of these will control Excel defaults, which one is it? None of the names lend themselves to the Excel as a source. SqlClientToMSSql10?

Reporting Services Addin - Set Server Defaults Error

Sep 18, 2007

Hey All,

I installed Reporting Services Add-in with no problems on a Virtual server that already hosts MOSS 2007 and configured everything that was stated in documentation. The Report server Url works fine..like http://myserver1:802/ReportServer and I can see the contents when I type this url.

However, when I go to Central Administration and click on "Set Server Defaults"...I am getting a "401.1 Unauthorized..." error.I setup the Manage Integration to TrustedAccount and the Grant DatabaseAccess to the account that is the Server.Farm and local administrator.

In the Reporting Services Configuration, I used SSRSWebAccount for WebService and SSRSWindowsAccount for WindowsService and the RSAppPool which is the ApplicationPool for ReportingServices Web Site uses the SSRSWindowsAccount only.

Anybody..please help.

Thanks,
Vedala

Reporting Services :: Available Parameter Values And Setting Defaults On Report Server

Jun 3, 2015

I have a report with a subscription enabled and the default values that are selected for the report frequently change. I have our report server locked down so that the users can't change the defaults, but I now want to empower them to maintain this on their own. Here is my dilemma. When you have the available parameters set up to pull from a query, the defaults on the report server have to be keyed in manually, which is not an option. The only way to get a check box there, is to explicitly specify the available values.I need my available values to be database driven and I need to be able to select my defaults on the report server using check boxes.

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!

Sharepoint Integration Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll

Feb 2, 2007

Does anyone know the location of Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll after you install the web part? I am wondering if I can inherit from this web part to wrap some other functionality into it. I know that i see it in the GAC buyt can't seem to find it so I can look at the assembly using reflector.

Also, how easy is it to pass in parameters to the Report Viewer?

Thanks!

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. ---> 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?

BCP Defaults To 8.0 Instead Of 9.0

Sep 13, 2007

I have a 64-bit box with SQL 2000 and 2005 installed on it. At the command prompt, typing BCP -v gives me the 8.0 version, not 9.0. I really want the 9.0 version as the default. Obviously typing
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90 oolsinncp" gives me the 9.0 version.

My PATH variable looks like this:
Path=C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWS;C:WINDOWSSystem32Wbem;C:Program FilesAT

Do I dare change the order so it looks in the 9.0 directories first? Or is this by design?

WeekDay Defaults...

Feb 27, 2001

Hi!
I�m experiencing problems with datepart(weekday,...) function. In particular with week 54 of 2000... (by the way, don�t make a bet about that, because Jan 1st. was saturday (last day of week) and year 2000 was a leap year!!!, so Dec 31 became the one and only case of 54 weeks... in our calendar).
Is there a way I can fix sunday as first day of week, instead using SET DATEFIRST in every procedure? (because "somebody" puts MONDAY as a default in spanish)
Thanx in advance,
C�sar.

DateTime Defaults

Jan 17, 2007

I'm having some problems when trying to import an external table into my SQL Server 7.0 DB. When date fields are being created the datatype is being set to smalldatetime which is causing errors because some of the data in the source table is using dates proir to 1900.

Is there a way I can set the datatype to be set as datetime instead of smalldatetime?

Overriding Defaults

Sep 26, 2007

I have a stored procedure that has @BeginDate and @EndDate as parameters. I created a report with a default for both. They run just fine. After I deployed, I created Linked Reports and wanted to override the defaults. In the defaults, I tried to put in GetDate() for @BeginDate and GetDate()+10 for the @EndDate so this can be passed in the where statement of the stored procedure. I get 'Syntax error converting datetime from character string.'

What I assume is that if I override the default, the stored procedure will process what I put in the @BeginDate and @EndDate parameters.

The where statement looks like:

and (m.BeginDate >= @BeginDate) and (m.EndDate <= @EndDate)

I'm using Reporting Services 2005 and SQL Server 2005.

Thanks, Iris

OLE DB Transformations And Column DEFAULTS

Jul 2, 2007

I have a column which uses a DEFAULT as GETDATE in one of my tables. When I execute a DTS package to insert data into it, the column values are all the same, but if I use SSIS, the dates differ slightly (by a few ticks after several rows, but not a consistent amount of rows).

Is there an explanation for this difference, and how can I correct this problem?

Parameters, Defaults, And Datatypes...oh MY!

Nov 28, 2007

Thanks in advance for fielding my question!

I have parameters (type=datetime) on a report whose values are populated from a query. This query just pulls a list of all the dates (all Sunday dates) in a table. I have the parameter set up to have the date as the value and then a string representation of the value as the label (ie 2007-11-25) to make it easier for the user.

I want to set up a default for this parameter that essentially takes today's date and calculates the previous Sunday's date so the parameter drop down defaults to last Sunday's date.

My expression works fine just to display it on the report in a text box. It calculates and displays last Sunday's date perfectly. BUT, it doesn't work when I use it in the expression for the parameter default - Im' assuming because the latter cares about data type?

here's my statement:

=Iif(Now.DayofWeek=1,dateadd("d",-1,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=2,dateadd("d",-2,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=3,dateadd("d",-3,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=4,dateadd("d",-4,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=5,dateadd("d",-5,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=6,dateadd("d",-6,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=7,Now,0)))))))))))))

In short all those if statements calculate the day of last Sunday's date based on Now()...so if it's Monday, subtract 1, if it's Tuesday, subtract 2...etc.... BUT this returns the time also - argh! Formats!

How can I format this so it will equate to my oracle date populating in my parameter list? Do I need to match the output of the above statement to the LABEL (ie, string) or the actual VALUE (ie, date). I've tried both. I've hacked at this thing for an hour and I'm sure it's so obvious!

Thanks!

SqlParameter Defaults To Nvarchar For Strings

Aug 2, 2006

We've got an app that is in final testing so we can't go around forcing SqlDbType.VarChar. Is there any way to make SqlParameter default to varchar if you don't explicitly set a type for a string value? It's bad for our db index usage because they're all varchar and nvarchar forces a convert_implicit messing up performance.

Use DEFAULT CONSTRAINTs Or BOUND DEFAULTs?

Oct 30, 2005

I am doing a little research on Google about this topic and I ran intothis thread:http://groups.google.com/group/micr...dc13d4ee6758966I read SQL Server MVP Louis Davidson's post saying:"Actually they are more likely to drop the concept of bound defaults.Constraints are the standard way to do this, and really should be the wayyou create defaults anyhow."Even I read in the Microsoft SQL Server Introduction (SQL 7 bookpage 244, however we're using SQL Server 2000):"Constraints define rules regarding the values allowed in columns and arethe standard mechanism for enforcing integrity, preferred over triggers,rules, and defaults. They are also used by the query optimizer to improveperformance in selectivity estimation, cost calculations, and queryrewriting."Why constraint defaults are better? The second sentence about constraintshaving better optimization, I am guessing they don't mean this aboutDefault Constraints, rather the other type of constraints?Because I don't see how a Default Constraint have anything to do withperformance? Isn't default only to do with new records being created?At work we are setting all tables' columns to have constraint defaultsof 0 or ' ' (space character) in order not to have any column with theNULL value. Therefore we have dozens of files containing statements like:alter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_ID_DFDEFAULT(' ') FOR IDgoalter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_QUANTITY_DFDEFAULT(0) FOR QUANTITYgoFirst I was thinking to create 3 SQL Defaults called:DefaultZeroDefaultSpaceDefaultDateand then bind these defaults to all the columns of all tables excludingprimary keys. After creating the tables I would enumerate throughall the columns and bind one of these three Defaults based on theirdatatype:number = DefaultZerotext type = DefaultSpacedate type = DefaultDateAnd then unbind the ones that we specifically need to specify otherdefault values.So my question is should I do this by using sp_binddefault or stickwith using Default Constraints inside a table/columns loop code?Thank you

Changing SSIS Property Defaults

Sep 5, 2006

To make certain SSIS features work there are many properties that need to be set over and over for most containers in the package. For example with CheckpointRestart, you need to set (in most cases) all of the tasks' FailPackageOnFailure to True. If you miss one, the package may not restart properly and you might never know. There are other situations where as a development team we want certain properties to be usually set the same but differently from the SSIS default.

Is there a way to control the defaults that the SSIS IDE uses?

I remember back in classic VB that if you wanted to change the defaults of a bare form you could create a template form adjusted the way you like and put it in a templates folder. Then new forms added to a project would be based on the template form.

Where Do User-defined Defaults Show Up?

Mar 22, 2007

I created the following Default

CREATE DEFAULT HelloWorld AS 'HelloWorld'

Now, tell me how can I get the information for this default? I can find it in sys.objects and it says its a DEFAULT CONSTRAINT, but sys.default_constraints does not show anything. Anyone?

Thanks

Server SQL-Server 2005 Crash While Indexing By The Server SharePoint 2007

Feb 7, 2008

Hello,

I have an intranet environment consists of two servers:

- An application server windows 2003 server with 64-bit server Sharepoint 2007 SP1 (Standard version for search)
- A database server windows 2003 server with 64-bit SQL Server 2005 SP2 64-bit (Standard - 9.0.3054)

It happens regularly that the database server crash (frozen black screen) while the application server indexes (crawl) the content of the intranet site based on sharepoint. There is no alert / error in the observer of events, nor in the sql logs.

The crash is uncertain: dice once all goes well, soon after that crash. When i set the parameter search service (service management research), I can define a regulatory impact of the robot to change the number of documents at the same time : "Request 2 documents at the same time, the crash is more rare, "ask 64 documents at a time, the crash is more common.

My Intranet under sharepoint is composed of a collection site with a dozen sub-sites. There are 3 large library of PDF document. All done in the 4 go in terms of volume.

My problem for about 3-4 months. (Maybe more. Before, indexing was not yet in place).

Someone could help me? Thank you

Merge Replication: Does It Support UDTs && Defaults

Feb 27, 2003

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me with this little problem that im stuck with.
As part of the initial snapshot using merge replication, i am creating the initial schema on the subscriber database however it seems as though it does not like UDDTs or defaults and hence does not create them on the subscribers.

Its looking likely that I may have to create a script which executes on the subscriber which creates the initial schema then use merge replication to transfer data.

Does Merge Replication support UDTs/Defaults? If so how does it work?

Ive search many places though have come up with nothing.

Please help. = (

Setting Defaults On A Multi-valued Parameter

Jan 27, 2006

I want to set defaults for my multi-valued report parameter MONTH so that when the report starts, it automatically selects all the months prior to the current month (effectively creates a YTD report). However, using RS2005, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I can create an IIF expression in 12 different value entries in the report parameters that returns the month based on the system date, but the first time I pass blanks, null or anything except a valid parameter, it clears the entire parameter list when the report displays.

Does anyone have any suggestions for auto-populating multiple values in a parameter at runtime where one or more of the parameter values may be empty? Checking "Allow Null" or "Allow Blank" doesn't fix this problem.

I tried to pass all the values in a single value entry on the report parameters page, but can't find the syntax that will allow this. I'm not sure if it will let you do that anyway...

Report Runs Automatically Now That Defaults Are Set On All Parameters

Dec 4, 2007

It seems that my report runs immediately now that I've set defaults on all parameters. Is there a way to allow defaults on all params but still require that the user click "view report" before it runs?

Parameter Defaults Not Updated When Deploying From BIDS

Oct 10, 2007

Hi,

Ever since working with RS I had noticed that deploying reports felt inconsistent and didn't always seem to work, requiring sometimes for me to delete and re-deploy the reports before seeing changes applied. This has the knock on effect of generating new report ID's (GUID's) for the reports and any data in the ExecutionLog table for your reports becomes useless inhibiting effective usage reporting.

I never quite put my finger on exactly what the issue was until recently discovered that "by design" report paramerter defaults are not updated when deploying reports from BIDS. This is because MS envisaged that DBA's or Report Adminstrators would be responsible for changing parameter defaults and prompts once the reports are deployed.
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=100960&SiteID=1

I disagree and having discussed this with the product team here http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2181673&SiteID=1 it seems a sensible option would be to add a deployment option to the reporting services project definition similar to the OverwriteDataSources option.

I have posted a product feedback report on the Connect site https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=299372

Please vote for this to be added to Katmai (RS 2008).

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Finding Stored Procedure Defaults For Parameters

Jun 2, 2014

I have various ways of getting the parameters of a stored procedure:

I have a procedure that has all defaults 4 are null and 2 are 0.

The following shows most of what I need but no defaults

SELECT PARAMETER_NAME ,
ORDINAL_POSITION ,
DATA_TYPE ,
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH ,
CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH ,
NUMERIC_PRECISION ,

[Code] ...

This one has two values:

PARAMETER_HASDEFAULT (always 0) and PARAMETER_DEFAULT (always 0)
sp_procedure_params_rowset proc procedure

Is there something else that would tell me if there is a default on a parameter and what the default is if there is one.
