Specifying Different Stylesheet In URL To Customize ReportManager Interface
May 7, 2007
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide insight into this...
I am trying to specify a different stylesheet (other than ReportingServices.css) in the URL for running the ReportManager application; I am using the "rstylesheet=<stylesheetname>" parameter in the URL. However, it seems that no matter which format of stylesheetname I use (i. e, just the stylesheet file name with no extension, stylesheetname + ".css" extension, "/reports/styles/<stylesheetname>", etc.), the ReportManager application only uses the built-in ReportingServices.css stylesheet.
Is there some "magic" to specifying the name of an alternate stylesheet with the "rstylesheet" URL parameter, or does this just not work?
I am having more luck editing the dtsx files directly than using configs. Also for documentation purposes this would be helpful as I don't know enough about xml to find or build a tool to create a style sheet for me.
I build a report and changed its style by scripting into the URL line
rc : stylesheet = myStyle. It worked great. After installing SP2 of SQL Server 2005:
the report's style is ok when the report is first loaded, but after clicking the "view report" button the report's style changes to the default reportserver style. How can i fix it? (I may not change the rsreportserver.config file nor the original style file)
Each time when I try to access the report manager from a new internet explorer window from another computer I get the login box. After filling in the domainuser and password I can access the reports. How can I manage that the report server doesn't ask for the login and authenticates me using my actual domain login ?
Accessing the report manager works when accessed from the server where SSRS is installed.
The properties on the IIS are set to Windows Integrated Security and both computers (client and server) are on the same domain.
How do you prevent others from viewing the ReportServer and ReportManager in a browser? I know you can assign roles to individuals but as far as I know of that is only referring to the actual report. But I would like to have just certain individuals be able to view the ReportServer and ReportManager in a browser. Also does creating these security limitations affect being able to link and display a report in a pdf format?
I am trying to add style-sheet on the sort column of datagrid. I am not able to do that as it takes default font and link comes under it. So can anybody help me to resolve this issue.
Wa have a user that comes over to our BI department, on a test-pc he logs in with his domain account, goes to the /Reports url and sees the report we prepared for his usercode. The virtual directories have Windows Authentication in IIS.
When he goes to his desk, where he is running with the same account he can't see these reports ....
What could be the problem and where should i start looking ??
Sorry for the long post but I'll try to give a maximum of information.
I've tried to implement Form Authentication for Reporting Services. Right now, just about everything works as I would hope for, i.e.:
When I try to access http://<server>/ReportServer$SQLSERVER_2005, I am redirected to the authentication form. When successfully authenticated, I can access the report I can display reports throught the ReportViewer Web control by passing the authentication cookie. Etc.
(Note: My implementation of Form Authentication was inspired by http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/26759/0/page/1 which seems similar to Microsoft Sample)
(The $SQLSERVER_2005 suffix is because SQL Server 2000 is also installed on the server, but I don't think Reporting Services 2000 is installed)
There is one thing which does not work however and it is the Report Manager.
When I try to access http://<server>/Reports$SQLSERVER_2005, I would expect to be redirected to the /Pages/UILogon.aspx page. Instead, I get an error page with the following message:
"The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer."
Both ReportServer and Reports are on the same server, both have the same security on the folder and in IIS (6.0), both have Anonymous security access "checked".
If I revert to the old .config files (prior to my modifications for Form Authentication) and remove Anonymous from IIS for both sites, everything works fine (like it did after the installation).
Here are excerpts from the config files I've modified in ReportManager:
<CodeGroup class="FirstMatchCodeGroup" version="1" PermissionSetName="FullTrust" Description="This code group grants MyComputer code Execution permission. "> <IMembershipCondition class="ZoneMembershipCondition" version="1" Zone="MyComputer" />
Web.config:
<identity impersonate="false" />
Here is the content of the log ReportServerWebApp_*.log (see error in bold):

So that's it. Thanks for any help you can provide.
I contact you because we installed Report Services 2012 and after configuring werb service URL, database, Report Manager URLs... the URLs linked to the Report server + Report Manager does not work.After searching in IIS, it seems that even if virtual directories are created, they are linked to directories which does not exist :- c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS11.ReportReporting Services does contain only LogFiles and RSTempFiles directories.
By the way, I'm not sure if, I am in the right related forum to address this questions. My problem is how to customize a primary key id of the table. Example. I have a two tables customer and product, and my customer table has a customer id. I want to customize my customer id, which for example the starting id will starts CUS-0001...CUS-002 and so on. And same also to my product table, product id will starts PROD-001..PROD-002 and so on. the digits of my id's is auto incremented. Thank you for the time of reading my questions. Your response is highly appreciated..

Hi, Is it possible to customize the report manager web site so that I can set the report output format to excel by default. Currently, to get the excel report user has to first select the report criteria and then click the "view report" button which renders the report in HTML format and then only the export to excel option appears.
Is there a way we can get the report exported to excel in one go.
I would like to use Report Managers interface for choosing reports. But all of the reports uses different dsu(datasourceuser) and dsp(datasourcepassword) depending on which user that is logon. I would like to call the interface from a webapplication(where they have the current dsu & dsp).
Is there a way to customize Report Manager to save the dsu & dsp so users don't have to login for each report? Or could I make a clever transformation from the Windows userid?

Display customized data based on customized where statement from UDT.
The UDT is a parameter inside of a stored procedure.
Problem:
A parameter from a stored procedure is @communication communications readonly
This parameter is a User-Defined Table Types (UDT) It contains criteria based on end-user's selection from a filtration functionality from a webpage.
Four example of filtration critera based on four end-users' selection that is located inside of a table below.
Each UDT table contains different criteria:
Number Criteria ------ -------- 1 Phone 3 Email
Number Criteria ------ -------- 1 Phone 2 Cellphone 3 email
Number Criteria ------ -------- 4 None
Number Criteria ------ -------- 2 Cellphone 1 Phone
Is it somehow possible to use the criteria's value as a column name in the where statement? I want to filtrate the data of the table datatable based on id, name and the UDT's criteria.
I was enable to apply the criteria inside of a variable by looping the UDT's table but the next thing is to paste it in the where statement after "id=1 and name" below
select * from datatable where id = 1 and name = 'Cost'
How should I do it?
[URL] .....
create table datatable (id int, name varchar(100), email varchar(10), phone varchar(10), cellphone varchar(10), none varchar(10) );
I'm trying to deal with a way to change the report parameter's default layout.
currently it seems to default to two columns, that's fine until you have a large screen and the "View Report" button is all the way to the right and you have a big chunk of whitespace.
For Example: Parameter 1 Parameter 2 <View Report> Parameter 3
I'd like it to show up instead as: Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 <View Report>
Hello all,I have a stored procedure that prompts the user for beginning date andending date to run a monthly report. The prompt saysEnter_Beginning_Date and Enter_Ending_Date.

Hi,I've managed to get a couple of shortcuts on my desktop that log meright into SQL Query Analyzer for whichever particular database I want(using the isql.exe command line options). Now, I want to do a similarcustomization for the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. I want to be ableto open SQL Server Enterprise Manager and have it pop me all the waydown into my particular database/tables view -> e.g. "Microsoft SQLServersSQL Server Group(LOCAL) (WindowsNT)DatabasesmyDatabaseName". I'm hitting a local db server...I've tried saving new consoles (.msc files), but that just doesn't seemto do anything. I've tried using bookmarks, also, and they just don'tdo anything at all when I select them.Any ideas??

Yesterday I Customize Style Sheets for the report manager. Today I tried to customize Style Sheets for HTML Viewer but it doesn't works. I have done all that steps :
- I include the <HTMLViewerStyleSheet> setting into the <Configuration> selection of the rsreportserver.config file and then specify the style sheet I want to use : <HTMLViewerStyleSheet>HtmlViewer2</HTMLViewerStyleSheet>
- My rsreportserver.config file is into the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesReportServer folder.
- The style sheet HtmlViewer2.css is located in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesReportServerStyles folder.
I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Can someone Help me ? I have been trying change the style of the toolbar all the day and i start to be desperate !
The requirement is to customize database admin activities by creating new user group.
Need to create a group of user / dbauser1 which will have restriction in seeing the data but they should be able to alter database - add / remove the data file , increase or decrease the data file space when required.
This requirement came we wanted to create a new dba group they should not be able to any user data / any table but increase / decrease / add / modify space etc.
I am new to SSRS. I am doing some report models for Ad-hoc reports. Im my database i have some users and their roles according to my requirement. User should only see the particular reports if he have privilege. how to customize...
User will access Report Builder to do adhoc report.
For example I have 5 report Models rptModel1 rptModel2 rptModel3 rptModel4 rptModel5
In my data base there are 3 users. user1 have privilege to view rptModel1, rptModel3 user2 have privilege to view rptModel4, rptModel5 user3 have privilege to view rptModel2, rptModel5
When Particular user access the report builder, There i want to show only that particular Report models... is there any posibilities to do this please Help me.
I want to customize database maintenance to run only on selected databases based on their status in sys.databases, without having to statically select them in the GUI.
I'm trying to write an SSIS package that will do the following:
1. Query for a list of databases that are not read-only or recovering, etc. 2. Perform database maintenance tasks (e.g., rebuild indexes) on those databases.
I'm doing this because the database maintenance tasks do not provide a way to select databases based on criteria or a SQL query filter.
My package includes an Execute SQL task to get the list of databases, a Foreach loop container to loop through the databases, and then...this is where I get stuck. I can't use the existing maintenance tasks (Rebuild Index, Update Statistics, etc.) because I don't know how to provide an input variable for the list of databases. I'd rather not write dynamic SQL to generate commands for each database object.
Got a good question to ask. At the moment, I do not have any control over the reporting server webserver. This is due to the company's policy. The webhosting is controled by antoher department.
Anyways, the question is the following:- Is there a way to customize the config file for the htmlviewer (css style sheet, rendering and others) for a specific client without affecting the rest ?
There are about 20 clients on a server, and I am responsible for one of them. I had customized my config file to render or allow only two formats for this particular client. Since I don't have any control over the websever, I just can't replace the config file without affecting the others. How do i do this ? I just want th config file to ONLY affect a certain client's HTMLViewer and not the others. I tried to do some research on this, but came up empty handed.
I have 3 SSRS 2014 (Dev, UAT and Prod). I would like to change background colors of each environment and customize the title 'SQL Server Reporting Services' to ' SSRS Development'.
I prefer to implement both, a background color change and a title change. The reason for this is to clarify to end users which environment they are working with.
Where can I make those minimal changes in SSRS 2014.
Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question, so my apologies if it should be in another section.
I need to build a simple QA (quality assurance) DB for my company (a small physician group). I have the DB built in Access, but would much prefer to put it in SQL Server for reasons of stability, security, and access control.
What I would like to do is build a web interface to this DB so the users can just click an IE shortcut on their desktop, and be able to enter information via the browser like they would in a form in MS Access.
What would be the best way of going about building something like this? My background is as an analyst, so I'm unsure when it comes to actually building a front-end.
Sorry if this question is simplistic or if it has already been answered, and thank you in advance for any assistance you may lend.
