Hi all (and sorry for crossposting)!
I'm VERY new to MOSS2007 and I have couple of questions about it and SQL Server 2005. The basic idea is to receive data from MOSS2007 into SQL Server 2005 in my own database and make some reports from there.
Which are the best practices to receive data from MOSS2007 into SQL Server 2005? Do I have to write some dlls for example with VB.NET (and use Sharepoint API calls) and use those dlls in stored procedures in SQL Server 2005? Or can I just use normal T-SQL (I believe that data in MOSS2007 is saved in lists and lists are saved in DB)?
Waiting for your replies. The more detail your answer is the more grateful I am!
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).
I am working on sharepoint 2007 integration with reporting service 2005. There are few facts which i am trying to understand and need some clarifications. Please provide your comments
1) While configuring "Database setup" in Repoting Service Configuring Manager" i found two modes 1) Native and 2) SharePoint Integration. When creating a report server database if we check "Create the report server database in Sharepoint Integration Mode" then it set the mode to "SharePoint Integration Mode". There is no option of switching the same database to native mode. So i have to create another database in "Native Mode". (IS THIS CORRECT. DO WE NEED TO CREATE TWO REPORT SERVER DATABASE SEPERATE FOR SHAREPOINT INTEGRATION AND NATIVE)
2) I am using the new report viewer web part in sharepoint 2007. When i am in sharepoint integration mode i can create datasource, report model and with report builder i can create rdl file. On selecing any RDL file in doument library and it gets displayed in Report Viewer Web Part. When i switch to Native mode i want to configure the web part to use the report created with SQL Server Bussiness Intelligence Dev Studio and deployed on http://localhost:808/ReportServer. (IS THERE ANY WAY SO THAT I CAN EXPORT AND IMPORT ALL .RDL FILE FROM http://localhost:808/ReportServer to http://localhost/ReportServer)
I AM NOT ABLE TO CONFIGURE WEB PART WHEN I AM IN NATIVE MODE i.e giving path of .RDL in report textbox throw a error saying "Item not found" i tried all combination. THIS can be related to datasource not reading in .RDL file in native mode while confuring report viewer web part.
http://localhost:808/ReportServer (Report Server)
http://localhost/ReportServer (SharePoint Mode) (Default Top Level Site)
3) LAST : I want to create a .RDL file report from the data in sharepoint, say lists or news etc. So when creating a RDL file how can i connect to sharepoint database. I read some where that in previous release they used to DATA EXTENSIONS and get the data from list in sharepoint with something like http://<servername>/<sitename>/List=Announcement when creating RDL file. Is the alternative in new release to create the report based on sharpoint list data.
I have been banging my head against the wall with trying to integrate SharePoint 2007 and SQL Reporting Services. I have been following these 2 websites down to the letter in trying to configure everything:
2. http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/02/19/microsoft-sql-server-2005-sp2-reporting-services-integration-with- wss-3-0-and-moss-2007.aspx <---SharePoint Blog Group
Basically my setup is as follows:
Server 1 = SharePoint 2007
Server 2 = SQL Server Reporting Services SP2 / SharePoint 2007 services
Server 3 = Database
Server1 is setup and running SharePoint 2007 fine with no problems. It was installed under the complete option with its own server farm. Then with the Server2, SharePoint 2007 is installed again, also under the complete complete option, and configured to join Server1's server farm. In this way, Server2 is able to supply Server1 with services and it has been said that if you are using 2 different servers, one for SharePoint and one for Reporting Services, you need to have an instance of SharePoint on the reporting services box. With a SharePoint "front-end" the reporting-services now has a way to also join Server1s farm.
This is where the headache begins....the SharePoint install is successful on Server2 and the services are started as evident through the Central Administration page. The next task is to install SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and then the SQL Server 2005 SP2 patch.
After installing SQL Server and the SP2 patch, you go into the SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager and setup the Report Server, Database, and SharePoint integration. I configure everything to run under the "DefaultAppPool" under IIS, and I get green accepted checkboxes on everything.
Finally, the last step is to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies on Server1. This add-in actually allows the connection between SharePoint on Server1 to the Reporting Services on Server2. The install is successful and the extra options for reporting pop up under Central Administration page. When configuring the final connection under the Central Admin I referred to the following Microsoft Page:
For the "manage integration settings", I set the report server to Server2 and use Windows Authentication. Then for the "grant database access" I use Server2 and login with my credentials...
PROBLEM: Then for the final step of setting the server defaults, I click on the link and get 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. "
I have googled and tried installing/uninstalling several times, but it seems that I keep getting hung up here. When trying to access reports on the ReportServer, the same error message comes up.
If anyone is familiar with integration between SharePoint and SQL Reporting Services, and may have any ideas/comments/advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! =)

hello good afternoon, I am having this issue, I need to move reporting services from one server to another, but I need that credentials, roles and reports stay the same. But as the reporting services is integrated with sharepoint, dont know if I can move both at the same or it has to be done one at a time. this is just data migration, but still I will like to Know how it can be done having the same structure with the roles and credentials. or it is prefered to do a ghost?? but the issue will be that we have the reporting services in one place and the data in another... don´t know how this will affect. thanks in advanced for the help.
I'm configuring now Reporting Services on SQL Server 2005 in Office Sharepoint Server 2007 integration mode. In the beginning of the process, I had already installed SQL Server 2005 with RS and Office SPS 2007. I used following guides to make further steps: How to Configure Reporting Services to Use a Non-Default Web Site (Reporting Services Configuration)
How to Configure Service Accounts (Reporting Services Configuration)
How to Configure SharePoint Integration on a Standalone Server How to Configure the Report Server Integration Feature in SharePoint Central Administration
Troubleshooting a Side-by-Side Installation of Reporting Services and Windows SharePoint Services
So I installed RS add-in for SPS, made RS configuration and almost all SPS configuration. I stopped with 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 404: Not Found. " in "Set server defaults" command.
My servers configuration is following: 1. Both RS and SPS are running on the same server. 2. I cannot change port of default web site, so I made different web site "Reporting services" under same web server with port 8086 (http://mtx-sps2007:8086/reportserver)
3. RS Windows service runs under domain system account that is a member of local Administrators group (account name sql2k5sps7) 4. RS Web service runs under NT AuthorityNetworkService account 5. Database connection configured using mentioned above account sql2k5sps7
6. Report Server Web Service URL in SPS is set to http://mtx-sps2007:8086/reportserver 7. Authentication Mode in SPS is set to "Trusted account" 8. My account, under which I make a connections through terminal services to SPS and RS servers and through http to reportingservices page is a member of local administrators group of both my PC and server. 9. I'm not familiar with SPS (honestly speaking, with RS too, but at least I learning this quickly, but SPS is out of my responsibilities scope) 10. ReportServer runs under separated app pool that runs under NT AuthorityNetworkService account
And now I'm fighting with this error on "Set server defaults" command. It's interesting that from my PC there is no credentials prompt when entering SPS administrations page and error is following: An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode But from terminal client, connected to SPS and RS server, there is a credentials prompt (I enter my credentials) and error is as mentioned abowe: 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 404: Not Found. Also, the same error I got when I tried to add a report to report viewer web part on SPS test page.
Can anyone help me with this? I would be greately appreciated to any help on resolving this issue.
Hi, I tried to install sharepoint server 2007 as a standalone in my computer. When i run the sharepoint products and technologies configuration wizard, i get the following error,
Failed to create sample data.
An exception of type System.Data.Sqlclient.SqlException was thrown. Additional Exception information: Cannot open database "SharedServices2_DB_28aa01d8************************" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user "domainAdministrator"
My site crashed, so I had to rebuild the Project Site.
I used the SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to disconnect from the server farm (only actually running on the single server).
I then reran SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to setup the site.
Configured the Project Service and attached to the existing dB's.
Previously, I used the url http://servername.domain.forest/PWA/default.aspx .
Now when I attempt the use the same URL, I get the following error:
"An unexpected error has occurred"
I have tested this one 3 servers now and I receive the exact same result. Is there a path I should apply to the servers in order to allow fully qualified server names after a reinstall of the system?
We have an Office SharePoint 2007 site, we developed a couple of web parts and added them to our site. We used SQL Server Reporting services 2005 as our reporting solution. The reports are hosted on the report center and when we need a report, we open it by sending a URL requesting the report, passing the report parameters in the URL query string. So the report is filtered based on the parameters passed from the web parts.
But since best practices say that you should host reports directly under SharePoint, by configuring the reporting services to run in the SharePoint integrated mode. We followed the steps and installed SharePointRS and we finally succeeded to publish the reports to a SharePoint folder, but we had a limitation: we are unable to pass the report parameters internally to the report hosted in SharePoint. If we passed them in the query string as the report center case, SharePoint neglects them totally. So the question is: how can I pass parameters internally between a SharePoint web part and a SQL server 2005 reporting services report hosted in SharePoint?
i have made some Data Mining Model Examples in Excel 2007 (not temporarily!). They where there after leaving an re-opening Excel. I have used them several times. Then I want to look, if I can see them also via SQL Server Managment Studio in the Analysis Services. There where nothing in the DMAddInDB in Analysis Services.
And after this, in Excel my DataMining Models have disappeared and all Models i have made since this disappeared also.
Perhaps I have destroyed the database. But will this happen every time? Can I share Data Mining Models I have made with Excel with Projects in SQL Server Analysis Services?
Sharepoint Server Portal 2007, MSSQL 2005, Reporting Services
When I try to integrate Reporting Services in Adminitsrator, for url of RS I write this: http://servername/ReportServer/ and click OK.
But when I try to go to 'Set Server defaults' or 'Managed Shared Shedules' I get this:
Server was unable to process request. ---> Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with an empty responseWhat should I Do ?
I know this is not SQL server related. Do anyone know good Third-party tools to backup sharepoint 2007? I have looked at www.avepoint.com and ideras tools but didn't find price listings. I am looking which has reasonable price and efficient. Only xpurt ownly
I'm having troubles connecting the webparts on SharePoint 2007. I installed the RSWebParts package from SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on my MOSS 2007 box. The installation went smoothly and I can add both Report Explorer and Report Viewer on a page. But when I try to connect RE to RV I get the following error:
An unexpected error has occurred.
Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.
So I have to go to the maintenance page and remove the web parts.
Have anyone managed to bypass this and make them work together?
I am trying to work through a test on database mirroring I am following the whitepaper that Micrososft published on how to configure mirroring and sahrepoint, but when i failover the config database and admin content database it doesnt appear to work. I execute the following commands after both are failed over
I have a problem with connecting to our SQL Server 2005 through Access 2007. I get a msg "ODBC-- failed. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] SELECT permission denied on object 'clients', database 'Contacts', schema 'dbo' (#229)" We have moved some of our tables from Access over to SQL Server 2005. I recently got Access 2007 and I'm the only one at the office that has this problem (everyone else uses Access 2003 or older). I can link tables to SQL Server but I can't open them and I can't open Forms or Reports that has those tables as data source. I can open other objects in Access that are not linked to SQL Server.
I have several SharePoint 2007 SQL 2005 databases that are replicating fine.
However, I have the WSS_Content _db that errors every time as shown below.
This only happens on the table shown, not on any of the other tables.
I am looking for confimation that this is a glitch withing SQL 2005 and there is nothing I can do about it pending a service release.
Anyone else run into this?

I have an issue with my report when deploy to sharepoint 2007. Basically my report have 3 parameters, start date date picker, end date date picker and event dropdown. The data displayed in the event dropdown will depends on the start date and end date specified by user.
The problem is the event dropdown some how get "cached". I have to manually click on apply in sharepoint report veiwer for the event list to be updated. This doesn't happend in Visual Studio and also report server but only happend when I deloyed to sharepoint thus I suspect it's the sharepoint issue.
I recently installed MS Accounting Express 2007 which also installed an instance of SQL Server 2005 but without the standard interface. But I want to install SQL Server Express 2005 as well. Can the two coexist? Is there a way to have both applications running on the same machine? I am asking before trying the standard SQL Express install. Thanks, Jim.
I downloaded and tried to install the file "SqlServer2K5_BOL_May2007.msi" and got a message: "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." Please advise.
I am looking for a solution to the problem named Table was skipped, or export failed. Here's the story:
I have a desktop with Vista Ultimate x64 and Office 2007. I want to export a database from Access MDB (about 2Gb, 110 tables) to SQL Server Express Express (Advanced). The simple solution > upsize wizard.
- create new database - server name, used trusted connection, some database name - I select all tables - I unselect table's attributes - create new Access server/client application and every time I have Table was skipped, or export failed. The same thing happens when I create new MDB with one table (some random values)!
The strange thing that on laptop with XP + SQL Sever 2005 Express (Simple) and Access XP upsizing the same database works fine!'
one other issues of a rookie: I wanted to access a database (randomly created) on Vista with the Access on my laptop. Both PCs are in the same network I can ping both, but when I try to connect to IP_desktopSQLEXPRESS Access posts connection error. Why?
P.S. When installing SQL Server on Vista I have only a problem with IIS and ASP.NET, but it shouldn't be a problem.
I am working on Sharepoint 2007 . I had set the SessionState in Sharepoint settings Central Administration for timeout as 360 min . And in the web.config of Sharepoint site, i had set Enable SessionState to true and <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="60" /> also done. Still the session gets timed out within 5 minutes ? Can anyone help in this ?

Has anyone set these up on the same server? Is there a document around on how to set this up?
Is there a way to create a SQL 2005 x64 Linked server to an Excel (or Access) 2003/2007 file? In SQL 2005 32bit this was possible. Does anyone know of a solution or a work around?
I'm having a tough time importing some of my legacy database into sql. I have a number of dbase (IV) files I need to get into SQL. I have tried building a SSIS package with either an foxpro oledb connection or a jet 4.0 one, none of them work bec. of inconsistencies in the data format in my tables (e.g. date fields, etc).
I have tried to save the .dbfs as excel 2007 files, taking advantage of the larger space that comes with '07. Problem is you can't use the import/export wizard with 2007 for some reason and I haven't been able to create a package with the access 12 oledb as I have read.
I have to get some crucial data out of that old system and into the new one and I can't seem to be able to import them properly.
Any hints on what I should do ? (maybe I'm doing something awfully wrong)
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, Val
How to export data from SQL Serevr 2005 Express to Excel 2007 using OPENROWSET command.
I have tried the following code But getting error sSQL.Format("insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=%s;','Select * from [%s$]') select * from [%s]", sExcelPath, sSheetName, sTable);

This is followed by Event ID 3041:

It looks to me like the virtual device creation fails in the first step, the next three event messages are the cleanup of the failed virtual device, and the final two messages are the failed SQL backup as the expected device doesn't exist.
My question is why? The message seems to indicate bad memory, but I'm sure the physical memory is good - The 16GB in this server has been tested extensively, and I have no other issues. Perhaps its some sort of memory allocation error?

I'm looking for a little help on a strange problem, used Business Contact Manager 2007 Database Tool to create a shared database in SQL Server 2005 on a server on the LAN, placed the database in the default instance of MSSQLSERVER then used the database tools to restore a 2003 BCM database to the newly created database in SQL. Everything worked as it should and I verified the database existed and was populated with data and all the permissions were set correctly to access the database. Then I loaded 2007 Business Contact Manager on a workstation on the LAN and attempted to use the wizard to connect to the remote database. I keep receiving errors that the database cannot be found. I have used the SQLCMD (Sqlcmd €“S €śtcp:erverNameinstanceName,portNumber€?) to verify access to the server and named instance and can connect with no problem, so it appears that would eliminate any firewall (which I turned off) problem or permission problem on the SQL Server. This is a connection between a Vista computer and a Server 2003 domain controller. DNS appears to work without a problem as a ping from the Vista machine by server name yields the correct IP. I have several databases running on the sequel server and have no problem accessing them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
