Slow Performance When Rendering Pages In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services
Jul 3, 2007
I have designed a fairly simple report in report designer that uses an analysis services cube as its input, and a basic matrix object as the primary design component. Cube performance either via object browser in Analysis Services or via connection from Excel is great. It does exactly what you build a cube for, i.e. it builds aggregations you can get to quickly. However rendering from a report designer report within Report Manager is a different story.
Even though this report is being rendered from an execution snapshot, it is painfully slow at opening and closing different levels of drill down. The report does have six levels of drill down, which I am sure is a factor. If I use a smaller dataset, performance does become more acceptable. However, I don't consider the requirements of my report to be all that extraordinary.
My conclusion thus far is that larger data sets with many possible page renderings are not the best candidates for HTML rendered reports. In this case Microsoft's cube analysis add-in to Excel might be a better choice. Thoughts and feedback on either how to improve the rendering speed or other presentation alternatives that would perform better would all be welcome.

I am experimenting with SQL Reporting Services on a machine with SQL Server 2005 loaded and deploying
reports to a different server. both servers are equivalent in resources.
In the browser on the Reports machine when I first go to the Reports address, it takes a very long time
to build and load the page. it then takes a long time for each drilled down page. Subsequent calls to the same
pages are very fast if done within a certain amount of time. This implies that there must be some form of
caching going on and that the cache expires after a period of time. I have seen in the RSReportserver.config
file that there are parameters relating to report caching, but they all appear to reference the actual reports being
generated. My issue is simply being able to build the start page and other navigation more quickly and to
keep it active so it does not have to perform that build each time.
Any information related to managing this situation would be very much appreciated..
Thank you, Ray

I have written a custom rendering extension for my reporting services. In one of my function inside custom rendering assembly, I want to access the underlying dataset and manipulate with it. I gain some knowledge on dataextension but not able to use it successfully. Can someone please help me get to underlying dataset?
Thanks.

I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053

I have a report which takes around 5 seconds when run in BIDS but takes around 20 seconds when deployed on report server.Execution log says TimeDataRetrieval is around 3-4 seconds and rendering time is around 15-17 secs.From this report I am passing 8 parameters to a drill through report and there are 36 text boxes where I have defined these parameters for drill through action.All these parameters are populated in main dataset.When I deployed the same report without any drill through action and parameter, it takes 5 seconds.So I am suspecting that because of drill through parameters report is taking more rendering time on server.I am using 2008R2 and IE11.
Is it expected behavior that due to so many parameters for drill through action, report will take more rendering time?If yes, then why is it not taking same time in BIDS?

Having to set up a large number of subscriptions for first time users and moving around the application is painfully slow, specifically when opening or saving subscriptions.
Even very slow opening reports, at times takes longer for RS to submit the query than it does for the cubes to return the results.
Anyone have any idea of any performance tweaks, or an indication of what I should be looking at.

I'm using Reporting Services 2005 SP1 and wrote some code to render reports server-side.
My sample report has few parameters that must be passed so I pass these parameters with code.
<My code>
ReportServiceExecution.ReportExecutionService rs = new ReportServiceExecution.ReportExecutionService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
string extension, mimeType, encoding;
ReportServiceExecution.Warning[] warnings;
string[] streamID;
ParameterValue[] parameters = new ParameterValue[2];
parameters[0] = new ParameterValue();
parameters[0].Name = "pID";
parameters[0].Value = "6548747";
parameters[1] = new ParameterValue();
parameters[1].Name = "pClass";
parameters[1].Value = "8";
ExecutionHeader header = new ExecutionHeader();
ExecutionInfo executionInfo = rs.LoadReport(reportPayslip.Name, null);
executionInfo = rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us");
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = header;
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue.ExecutionID = executionInfo.ExecutionID;
byte[] report = rs.Render("PDF", "<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>", out extension, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamID);
</My code>
Actually, I have several more parameters but I've checked the collection and all the parameters I want are there and have values. Their names match those found in executionInfo.Parameters. But when I run my code I get the following error on Render():
<Error>
"This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value."
</Error>
I've double-checked and my parameter array does have the problematic parameter, I passed it a value but when I check executionInfo.Parameters I see that it's the only parameter that hasn't been give a default value after calling SetExecutionParameters(). So my parameters do seem to be passed but one seems to refuse getting a value. If I comment out the SetExecutionParameters() line I get, as expected a similar error but on another parameter (first one in the executionInfo.Parameters collection). So I'm left to beleive that the SetExecutionParameters() has some kind of bug as it works for all but one parameter. I've checked casing, spelling, tried passing phony parameters and from what I've seen I should be getting an error when I pass the parameters if I got something wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated.

We use Reporting Services for most of our reporting needs internally. However, we do have several products that we ship out into the field that run off local databases. These applications require reporting but often are not big enough for SQL Server and rarely run on a server with IIS.
Since MS has made .RDL an open xml standard does anyone know if there are any client rendering engines being developed? We would like the ability to develop all of our reports in .RDL and have them rendered in Reporting Services or in our standalone apps that run off MSDE or Access. Currently this is not possible. But, I think that someone could write a client renderer (like Crystal Reports has) to allow the use of .RDL files off a local data source without SQL Server and Web Services.
Thanks for any info on the subject.

I have created reports using Reporting Services and the problem I am having is with the Print Layout. I view a report with parameters and print. I then change the parameters and click 'View Report' again and the new report is displayed. However, the report does not refresh in the Print Layout, so if I try to print the 2nd report, the first report is the one that is printed. Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks

My system environment: win2008 R2 SP1 64bit + SQL 2005 SP4 32bit
I amended the configuration file of rsreportserver.config with the below:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering" >
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<Encoding>UTF-8</Encoding>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>
If I run the report and then click export by selecting the csv format, it looks ok with the encoding of UTF-8.
However, the same report , when I created a subscription and saved it in the hard driver. Its encoding became USC-2 Little Endian.

Hi all,
Could you tell the correct way to use Reporting Services on ASP.NET pages?
Now I wanna create an ASP.NET page to show some reports, and I hope to control all logic by program, so I need know the API between ASP.NET and Reporting Services.
For example, I wanna pass some data to Reporting Services via API, and then Reporting Services handle the data and return reports to me, and then I can show the reports on my web pages.
Please tell me how?

I am having major performance issues with Microsoft SQL 2005 x64 Standard Editions performance on Windows Server 2003 x64. The PC has two quad core cpu's with 8gb of ram and running a 500gb mirrored SCSI (Raid 1) drive system. The database running on the server is about 11gb. I've run a defrag several times which helps a little but I was hoping I could do something else to increase the performance.
I have also found that the bottle neck in the SSIS package is the backup and restore process of an 11gb database which takes about 1 hour (backup takes 1 hour and restore takes 1 hour) when it should take about 11 minutes. Is there anything I can do to make these processes run faster or to find out why they are taking so long? Any ideas would be a great help.
Thanks,

I am building reports using MS Visual Studio, and in the Preview tab I have the Refresh button and a button with a X to stop a report while rendering. However, when I deploy the report to the reporting server and I run it from the application the X button is not there, and users would find it useful sometimes to be able to stop long running reports. Is this a configuration change?

We are having major performance issues with Microsoft SQL 2005 64bit Standard Editions performance on Windows Server 2003. We have an SSIS package running very slowly (and other sql tasks) on our two quad core cpu system with 8gb of ram and running a 500gb mirrored SCSI (Raid 1) drive system.

I have a image in SSRS which is of PNG in format. when I preview the image it is coming as expected but if I export that to PDF the image is having the black color back ground. One more point to be noted here is my actual image file is having a small shading in it which is not visible properly, but the same back ground is coming with full black color line in the PDF form.
Another issue is : I have 3 sub reports in my SSRS report. In the preview I can see the data is coming in order of sub reports but if I export it to PDF the second sub-report data is coming at the end of the report and first and 3rd sub reports are fine. But If I have only one record for 2nd sub-report the order is same in both the Preview page as well as in the PDF format.

Hi everyone,
Our system is set up using SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. Our web application is built with Visual Studio 2003, C# and .Net Framework 1.1 and is a 3-tier application. On both our localhost and development builds of the application, the images that get rendered do show up properly. On our live build, the images do not.
One difference that we found is that on the live build, users do not have file permission access to our middle tier that is running reporting services. After examining the URL of where the image is trying to point to, we see that it is trying to access the middle tier from the front presentation tier.
My question is, is there a way to send a certain parameter into the Render method to have the images stored somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Here is the code we currently have:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
try
{
//Response.Write("Format: " + format);
if (format == "HTML4.0")
{
// Render arguments
byte[] result = null;
string historyID = null;
string devInfo = "<DeviceInfo><HTMLFragment>True</HTMLFragment></DeviceInfo>";
DataSourceCredentials[] credentials = null;
string showHideToggle = "true";
string encoding;
string mimeType;
Warning[] warnings = null;
ParameterValue[] reportHistoryParameters = null;
string[] streamIDs = null;
ParameterValue[] reportParameters = null;
SessionHeader sh = new SessionHeader();
reportParameters = new ParameterValue[5];
reportParameters[0] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[0].Name = "par_userID";
reportParameters[0].Value = userID;
reportParameters[1] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[1].Name = "par_menuID";
reportParameters[1].Value = menuID;
reportParameters[2] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[2].Name = "par_URL";
reportParameters[2].Value = reportURL;
reportParameters[3] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[3].Name = "par_startPage";
reportParameters[3].Value = startPage;
reportParameters[4] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[4].Name = "par_endPage";
reportParameters[4].Value = endPage;
//Clean up old files
RemoveFiles(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"]);
result = rs.Render(reportPath,
format,
historyID,
devInfo,
reportParameters,
credentials,
showHideToggle,
out encoding,
out mimeType,
out reportHistoryParameters,
out warnings,
out streamIDs);
// // For each image stream returned by the call to render,
// // render the stream and save it to the application root
// byte[] image;
// string optionalString = null;
// string tempFilePath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"].ToString();
//
// foreach (string streamID in streamIDs)
// {
// image = rs.RenderStream(reportPath,
// "HTML4.0",
// streamID,
// null,
// null,
// reportHistoryParameters,
// out optionalString,
// out optionalString);
//
// FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(tempFilePath + streamID + ".png");
// stream.Write(image, 0, image.Length);
// stream.Close();
// }
// Write the results to the current Web page
string htmlout = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(result);
htmlout = htmlout.Replace("<hr/>", "");
rs.Dispose();
return htmlout;
}

I've set in the execution properties of this report : Do not apply the expiration time for the execution of the report.When I look the ExecutionLogStorage table from Report Server DataBase I see that I've no message for this report when timeRendering is 21109ms. When I change the report parameters to obtain more data, the timeRendering is 76866ms and I've the message "The operation has timed out".

I am building a report with 3 tablixs using SQL Server 2008. Tablix 3 is long and spans over 3 pages. I am trying to get the header for the to remain visible on all pages and as we scroll through the end of each page. Now this is a frequently asked question and I have found the approach to achieve the desired results. All approaches involve clicking in the advanced mode of the row and column groups to modify the static and dynamic groups.However, when I click the advanced mode there is no effect. I have attached a picture of the design mode. The tablix3 is grouped by the Department column.

Hi,
can anyone tell me, how does Reporting Services work in the following scenario:
There is a report with multiple pages (eg. 50 pages). The user runs the report.
Question: What is transferred from the Reporting Services server to the client desktop ? all pages or just the first one ?
Background> I don't want to let the user wait until all pages are received (because he may be interested only in the first one and the jump to the last one and that is all he wants to see)
Any ideas are appreciated.

We run std 2008. In my ssrs log I see this for one of our most critical reports...
library!ReportServer_0-64!2244!07/07/2015-08:24:53:: Call to GetPermissionsAction(/somedirectory/somedirectory1).... which I assume is an indication of a report starting to render by first checking permissions.
Around the time my user says he still saw the revolving arrow and he stopped the report because he felt it was running too long, I see...
webserver!ReportServer_0-64!1dbc!07/07/2015-08:54:44:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''
How can it be true that he stopped it and ssrs reports that it processed the report?
About 4 minutes later I see this entry in the log...
webserver!ReportServer_0-64!15e4!07/07/2015-08:58:34:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''
Which processed report message is right? Could there be multiples cuz of subreports? I see a number of errors and exceptions around these same times but do not know how to tie either to a specific report. Is there a way?

I installed SSRS 2014 Reporting Services on a 2008R2 Enterprise server. When I try to subscribe to a report (also SQL 2014), the default rendering is MHTML. I want to change this default to EXCEL.
I updated the rsreportserver.config file and restarted SQL Server Reporting Service. Now, the default rendering for a subscription is 'XML file with report data' which is the first <Render> data element. If I change
<DefaultRenderingExtension>EXCEL</DefaultRenderingExtension> back to <DefaultRenderingExtension>MHTML</DefaultRenderingExtension>
And restart SSRS Service, the default subscription rendering is MHTML.

Is there a support of printing report with matrix that is set to RTL (LayoutDirection) which displays in ReportViewr control with property RightToLeft set to RightToLeft.Yes in DisplayMode = PrintLayout.
The report looks fine in the report viewr in DisplayMode = Normal, but when goes to PrintLayout, it seems that the left data on page is rendered first.
Example: This is the display of the report viewer, I would like to print the columns by the same order it displays here:
And this is the result when clicking Print Preview: the first page displays the data of the last columns and if i go to the last page (page 9) i will see the data of the first column as displays in the previous gif, I don't have a clue why?
Is there a property that can be set to force the print layout to render RTL. Anyway, it seem to me as a bug since the Report Viewer displays the data correctly and renders the data RTL as expected.

I must confess it has been a long time since I have done any SSRS reporting. I have the following SQL Statement (I will change it to a stored Procedure with parameters once I get the design done):
SELECT
rc.wo_id,
rc.process_id,
rc.item_id,
rc.lot_no AS full_lot_no,
rc.oper_id, rc.seq_no,
CAST(la.attr_value AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS weight,
[Code] ....
This gives me the data I want which looks like this:
Rework ID Ingot Oper ID Piece Rework
28 xxxxxx14 5 M88 Route 1
55 xxxxxxx15 5 B106 Route 2
79 xxxxxxx19 5 M68 Route 3
164 xxxxxx234 5 T16 Route 4
xxxxxx234 5 B82 Route 4
The grouping is on the Rework ID. Any of the pieces can be put on any rework route. As you can see, there are 4 routes, but 5 pieces. What I need is for each rework ID to be printed on its own paper even if there is only 1 record for the route. So I would expect 4 pieces of paper, 3 with 1 record, the 4th with two pieces. Is there a setting in the Tablix or report that I can set, or is there an expression I can use?

I wrote a report today containing one grouping. Everything appears all right in the report preview, except that every other page is "blank", i.e., shows only the page header and page footer; all grouping and detail information is missing.
The data on the page following the blank page seems to pick up where the previous non-blank page left off, so all information seems to be present within the report.The report width and height properties are typical portrait-style -- 8.5 x 11 inches. The columns do not "run off the edge" of the report page boundary. I haven't selected any page break for the grouping, as the grouping detail is typically only a few rows long, and would otherwise result in a very large number of pages.

Getting old favourite message 'Out of Memory' when running a horizontal clustered chart with Category: 200 items Series: 200 items per Category.URL... 'By default, the report server sets WorkingSetMaximum to the amount of available memory on the computer. This value is detected when the service starts.'
The report has been tried on 3 large servers with 30GB & 60GB memory. The report runs on a 2008 install but not a 2008R2 install. We've created a test report that simply generates a series of data 1-n for Category and 1-n for Series where n can be set by parameter - so the issue is not to do with the volume of data or the processing required by SSMS. The report runs if the data is output to a table rather than a chart - so the issue appears to be with rendering the chart.
The chart is rendered when the Category has 200 items with a Series of 150 per Category. The report fails with Category 200 items and Series 200 per Category.
