I have the integration set up between Sharepoint and SSRS, but I follow the Add-in readme below. I do not see the Reporting Services select content types section. I can manually create each content type(Report, Builder, Datasource, etc..) but the images for then when I click Add in the list there are no images associated to the different content types.
Set Permissions and Add Reporting Services Content Types
You must assign user and group accounts to SharePoint groups or permission levels to grant site access to those users. Users who can access a site can also perform reporting tasks. For example, users with view permissions to access a site can also view reports on that site.
To complete the integration steps, you must ensure that all users who access and manage report server content on a SharePoint Web application have the appropriate permissions. You might also want to add Reporting Services content types so that users who have permission to use Report Builder can start it from the New menu. To add content types:
Open the library for which you want to add Reporting Services content types.
On the Settings menu, click Document Library Settings.
Under Content Types, click Add from existing site content types. If Content Types is not available, locate the General Settings section and click Advanced settings to allow content type management.
In the Content Types section, select Yes to allow multiple content types.
In the Select Content Types section, in Select Site content types from list, click the arrow to select Reporting Services.
In the Available Site Content Types list, click Report Builder Report, and then click Add to move the selected content type to the Content types to add list.
To add Report Model and Report Data Source content types, repeat steps 5 and 6.
When you finish selecting all the content types that you want to add, click OK.
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.
Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList

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

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?
More to come...
================================== Installation steps taken to build the server VM: ==================================
(Using VirtualPC 2007) 1. Build OS (2003R2SP2) and promote to DC
1a. Create domain user service account SQLSPS 2. Prep for SQL
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
5a. Install .NET 3.0 6. Install MOSS2007 Enterprise and configure
6a. Webapps, SSP and anything else use svc acct SQLSPS 6b. Move Default website to port 8080 and re-activate (SharePoint stopped the site) 6c. Verify SSRS works on 8080 7. Install Reporting Services Add-in 8. Create new RS database in integration mode (with service credentials)
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.
We have been looking for a way to executing bursting of SSRS reports within SharePoint (integration mode) from a SSIS package after a successful load. We found this MSDN article which has a PowerShell script to "fire" a subscription.URL....One of the parameter needed is the SubscriptionID.
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?
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?
I am attempting to pull certain bits of information from the content field in the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog. I found this blog post that is nearly perfect :Â URL....However, when I try and bring in the query parameters, I am just getting nulls. All the code is:
--The first CTE gets the content as a varbinary(max) --as well as the other important columns for all reports, --data sources and shared datasets.
WITH ItemContentBinaries AS ( SELECT ItemID , Name , [Type] , CASE Type WHEN 2 THEN 'Report' WHEN 5 THEN 'Data Source'
[code]....
I've tried various variations on the bit third line up from the bottom without any joy. I been reading lots on XML this morning and thing my head has completely gone out the window.
I originally installed SQL Server 2005 and configured Reporting Services to run on a different port and website and all worked fine. I can access it via localhost:15540/reportserver and also use BI Development Studio to creat and publish reports.
I updated to SQL Server 2005 SP2, selected SQL Server integration on Reporting Services Configurator, created a new Report servcies database. Now when I go to localhost:15540/reportserver, the reports I had previously had available do not show... that may be ok?
However, I go to Sharepoint 3.0 Central Admin, no entry for Reporting Services show under App Management. Should it?
I also notice that link localhost:15540/reports no longer work... Where should I be able to go to get access to the same functionality.
I guess I am a little confused as to what the integrated mode should do for me. All I really wanted the capability to do was use the report viewer from inside sharepoint.
I've tried 3 times to integrate RS in Sharepoint and I always have the same result. I can't see the new section in sharepoint central administration under application management. I didn't get any errors while installing any of the components.
RS and Sharepoint are on the same machine and I carefully followed the step to integrate RS in Sharepoint
I have 2 servers a sharepoint frontend/sql server and a SSRS server. I have installed SQL2005 SP2 and am trying to configure the SSRS box for Sharepoint Inegration. I created the Database for the new sharepoint integration mode. But when I look at the configuration manager for SSRS I see that the Sharepoint Integration is not configured. I see this in the config manager "...Windows Sharepoint Services object model is not installed..."
I have done this before but I can figure out to install just the wss object model.
ConnectionManager manager = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsConvert.GetWrapper(base.Connections.Connection); IDTSConnectionManagerCache100 cache = manager.InnerObject as IDTSConnectionManagerCache100; if (cache != null) { Â System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Cache is found."); } and use IDTSConnectionManagerCacheColumn100 id = connMgr.Columns["Id"]; get the column info.
but how do i get the cache connection content ?I want to look in the content in a script component code.Â
Hello, i want to configure reporting services on wss 3.0. Everything works fine so far, but there are multiple webapplications in the sharepoint farm and my customer wants only a single sharepoint-webapplication to be configured for Reporting services. As far as i know the installation of Reporting Services addin changes all sharepoint-web.config-files on the server. Is there a way to specify the single webapplication to install RS addin with paramters? Am i missing a thing or is backing up and restoring the web.configs the only thing i can do?
Moss 2007 is installed on one server while sql2005-Sp2 is installed on a seperate server. I installed the web front-end of sharepoint services 3.0 on my report server. I also changed the port of my default website from 80 to 8080 so that they dont conflict.
I run the reporting service configuration app and created a new report database that had sharepoint integration switched on. Furthermore I created a new app pool in IIS that has a domain account instead of network service (as described in the microsoft instructions) and used another domain account as the windows service identity .
After that I installed the sharepoint add-in on the moss 2007 server. After doing so the reporting configuration app showed a green light for sharepoint integration. I went to application management and found the section for reporting services.
Now... allthough Manage integration settings and Grant database access work the third option "Set server defaults" produces the following error:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> Server was unable to process request. ---> The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
When I try to access the report server through http: i.e. http://bla:8080/reportserver I get :
Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error. (rsSharePointError) Get Online Help User cannot be found.
My trace log file complains about the following: (around 10 times the same message per try)

Please help.. I've now spent 2 days on this and I am getting nowhere!!
I have setup Sharepoint Integration and built a report that connects to a SSAS cube to present data. The report was build in VS2005 before I installed SQL SP2 and the Sharepoint Add-in. I am able to upload the report (rdl) and the datasource (rds) , but when I try to view the report I get the following error.
The report server cannot process the report. The data source connection information has been deleted. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference).
The report and the datasource are in the same folder in a document library. When I try to deploy the reports using VS2005 I get a reporting services prompt when the deploy starts. Tried a couple of account to no avail.
One thing that I noticed is that the datasource icon is a blank page vs the icon I see in the IDE, but the report has the report icon in the document library.
Our project has two servers. One server is running WSS 3.0 and the SQL Reporting Services web front-end. We have a second server that operates all the databases involved (WSS Content, SRS, and our application specific DB).
We do not have a domain controller in our architecture. The WSS site is configured to use SQL authentication to connnect and modify the WSS Content database. We installed SRS, SRS service pack 2, and the Sharepoint add-in. We are using forms authentication for our WSS site. We would like to use SRS in Sharepoint Integration mode, but we are unable to create datasources, view reports, etc. SRS is configured to use the "Trusted Account" in WSS Central Admin.
When we attempt to create a new datasource, and we received an error stating the object moved and to check that SRS is in Sharepoint integration mode.
When we attempt to view a report, we get an error stating:
"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode."
I have a feeling this has to do with the Windows Service Account and the Web Service Identity for SRS. What type of account should we use since we do not have a domain?
I'm trying to get the MOSS + Reporting Services + SP2 all working together using Forms Authentication. The readme file that was shipped with the SQL SP2 CTP seems to suggest that this is a supported configuration.
I've got everything setup and configured - I've tested in using Windows Integrated mode for my MOSS front end and my report renders absolutely fine. When I try to switch the Authentication Provider to Forms Authentication mode, when I click the report, I'm now getting an error message that states: "The item 'http://moss:8003/Reports/Company%20Sales.rdl' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)".
This message is being given to me from the following URL:
What is the ReportViewerWebPart doing to gain access to the RDL file in my document library? Is it trying to access it through a web service? Do I need to do something so that it can maintain the Forms Authentication cookie provided to the end user that clicked the report?
I am trying to integrate SQL SERVER 2005 ( Version 9.00.3033.00) with sharepoint server using the Add-in. In Add Application Management -- > Reporting Services Trusted Accounts, When i provide the credentials it is giving a message
Some or all identity references could not be translated.
I have installed the latest SQL SERVER 2005 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4E50BE6E-3F92-4552-A78C-B3BE1D94D5DA&displaylang=en
I see on the download page that the SharePoint Integration component only runs on x86. Are then any plans or timetable to release an x64 version? We run both the x64 version of SharePoint 2007 and SQL 2005.
This is the second SQL Server component (the first being the IIS Merge Replication agent) that has been released only for x86. What gives?
"...Sharepoint sees the Report Viewer Web Part as a single item and will continually rename it sequentially as Report Viewer [x].... This is a limitation of SharePoint..." http://books.google.com/books?id=b0dXlx5aww8C&pg=PA314&lpg=PA314&dq=report+viewer+web+part+title&source=web&ots=U0MVGHySWU&sig=pGBgHh2gXYWcpuZMqttY7S9B65c&hl=en
If this is true then it applies also to the ReportExplorer webpart. Is there a current fix for SharePoint? Or is there a current fix for the webParts?
I can see customers complaining that they would like to see on their SharePoint ReportExplorer WebParts pointing to separate environments (SSRS) and multiple ReportViewer webparts pointing to different reports. Which would result in ReportExplorer [1], ReportExplorer [2],....ReportExplorer [x] and ReportViewer [1], ReportViewer [2],....ReportViewer [x].
Instructing customer's to ignore webpart title's and look at report names is NOT going to be acceptable. Especially since other webparts within Sharepoint behave differently.
I have recently installed Reporting Services Integrated mode with minor issues and at the end I was able to execute reports as well as add the content types.
I am now working on doing the same exact thing except I do not see Report Server Content types. I am able to upload a report and execute it but cannot add the Content Types. When I login into Central Administrator I see the content type in there. Is there something I am missing to add it to "My Site"
Hi, I have a question regarding the Integration Services Data Types.
From http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141036(d-printer).aspx, I found a table that shows me the Mapping of Integration Services Data Types to Database Data Types.
For example, how the DT_BOOL Data Type maps to bit for SQL Server.
In this case, I am okay, as I know exactly what the mapping is, however, for some of the datatypes, I do not.
Here is an example. The DT_CY datatype maps to smallmoney and money ... how do I know which one to map to? For me, which one I map to does indeed matter because their representation is different.
DT_NUMERIC maps to decimal and numeric ... this one does not matter as much
DT_STR/DT_WSTR ... I need to know whether its char, varchar, ncahr, or nvarchar for padding purposes mostly.
After upgrading to SP2 straight from from SP1, I get the message that my current reporting server instance cannot be configured for Sharepoint Integration when I click on the Sharepoint integration tab. Also, I do not get the option of choosing Sharepoint integration if I try to create a new database in the Database Setup tab. I've read that the new Reporting Services Configuration Manager is not compatible with an older instance of Reporting Services, and realize that might be the problem. But I haven't found how to get around it! Do I need to uninstall SSRS and start over? I'd really like to switch to Sharepoint integration, if at all possible.
Another funny thing: I thought I might try re-installing SP2 to rectify the above problem, and it sees that SSRS is the only thing that needs upgrading. When you continue, it says SSRS was successfully updated, but nothing's changed. If you re-run SP2, SSRS is chosen to be upgraded again! I've installed SP2 3 times now, and each time it says SSRS is needing upgrading.
I configured Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated Mode at a client and am running into an issue as described in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/942530. I got the Cumulative Patch 4 (and 5) for SQL Server 2005 SP2 from Microsoft and applied it to the Reporting Services box. However, I€™m still seeing the same issue. Has anyone else run into this issue and resolved it?
I'm setting the Hidden property to True and then creating the report using the CreateReport method from the ReportingService2006 class. When I check the reportserver database Hidden is set to true. But when I call the GetProperties method it shows Hidden as being false. And in the document library the reports are visable.
I tried calling the SetProperties method after I created the report but it still didn't work.
Is there any way we can download sharepoint folders using ssis. I have a specific link(View on sharepoint) which I would like to download using ssis, Is it possible?
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?
I am trying to do some integration between reporting services and sharepoint. I have some instructions that tell me to click on "Site Collection Features" under site settings. I go ahead and click site settings and find no "Site Collection features" link. How do I get this link to appear?
I'm trying to set up SharePoint Integration for our report server. The setup we have is: 1. SQL server hosting the SharePoint databases and the Reporting Server, 2. SharePoint web front end hosting all SharePoint services. I've installed the reporting services SP2 on the SQL server and the reporting services add-in on the SharePoint server.
I configured the report server following the directions here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/c/fdcb3a53-0cb1-4e67-a1b6-45b89b3c59cf/readme_rsaddin.htm and here: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/helloitsliam/archive/2007/02/21/19801.aspx
Everything seems to be set up correctly, but when I open the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the SharePoint Integration option shows the error, "The report server cannot access setting in the SharePoint configuration database. Most likely, the Windows SharePoint Services object model...."
I do have WSS 3.0 installed on the report server.
When I look in the logs on the report server it says the login failed for the account I have set as the Windows Service Identity however, when I look at the logs on the SharePoint server it shows that it is granting the account read and write access to each of the SPWebApplications I have set up.
I am trying to create a graph that consists of a bar chart and line graph - both to appear on the same graph.
They will show different information, but will essentially come from the same dataset.
So far I have not been able to achieve this and it would seem that you cannot mix chart types. This is very disappointing given the plaudits associated with this product.
Can anyone restore my faith in this product by telling me that the above is possible and, if so, how do I go about it.
I want to create some links in Sharepoint that will take me directly to a report, display it within the SharePoint full page report viewer and set some parameter values along the way.
