I just installed SQLExpress, with reporting services on my own laptop
However, when I go to http://localhost/Reports/, I can see my reports uploaded, but the subscription links are not available. In Properties, I cannot see "Execution" either.
Can someone help me to get the Subscriptions feature enable again?
Thanks,
John W
Greetings,
We periodically get the following message in our three server peer-to-peer transactional replication environment:
"One or more subscriptions have been marked inactive. Drop and re-create all subscriptions for this node that are failing with this error."
What causes a subscription to be marked inactive? What properties or settings can be adjusted to minimize or eliminate this occurrence?
Everthing seems to be running OK and then we get the message. It afflicts the higest change volume publication on our slowest overseas server.
Thanks,
BCB
I doubt this is possible, but can someone think of a way to change the email address used for sending report subscriptions based on the report or subscription?
It's a need that I've heard from a number of different clients. Scenario: a company has one reporting services server with reports running from numerous departments. Report subscriptions are sent to internal and external email addresses and there's a business need to use different "from" addresses based on the report (or audience).
Service Broker will let you create two services with the same name (one with contract and another without)
CREATE SERVICE [Order Msg Recieve] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] ON QUEUE [dbo].[Order Return Msg Queue]
CREATE SERVICE [Order Msg Receive] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] ON QUEUE [ODS].[Order Return Msg Queue] ([OrderSubmission])
When you delete the service....
drop service [Order Msg Recieve]
It will only drop the first one. In the BOL there is no syntax for telling it to delete the second one, however you can drop it from SQL Management Studio.
I stumbled over this by accident. Just FYI

Hi. I apologize if this isn't the correct forum for this question: Where can we ask for a feature in the next version of SQL Server? Thank you.

When upgrading a database from MSDE to Visual Studio 2005 Express, I've noticed that the system tables in the MSDB database don't get upgraded. For example, the SYSSCHEDULES table doesn't get added. Is this by design or a bug?
-Doug
Try this in sql server 2005:
select COALESCE(a1, char(254)) as c1 from
(select 'Z' as a1 union select 'Ya' as a1 union select 'Y' as a1 union select 'W' as a1) as b1
group by a1
with rollup order by c1
select COALESCE(a1, char(255)) as c1 from
(select 'Z' as a1 union select 'Ya' as a1 union select 'Y' as a1 union select 'W' as a1) as b1
group by a1
with rollup order by c1
The only difference is that the first one uses 254 and the second one uses 255. The first sorts like this:
WYYaZþ
The second one sorts like this:
WYÿYaZ
Is this expected behavior?
Has anyone noticed that if you created DTS package and try to
change connection properties (i.e. change DSN or redirect
DTS to different server or Database), as soon you click OK
it does not save new password and hence does not work
anymore. In my case to move Database from Development to
Production server I would have to recreate all DTS packages.
Is there any way around it?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Currently - our Reporting Services site is setup so that all Domain Users can access it. We are starting to use Report Builder now. I have enabled the My Reports folder feature that that creates a user folder for anyone that logs onto the site. Is there a way to just create the user folders for certain people?
We desperately require the RetainSameConnection to be set to True on our ADO.NET - ODBC connection manager. Unfortunately RetainSameConnection always defaults back to False when you open the package.
* Is RetainSameConnection supposed to work for the ADO.NET - ODBC combination?
* Is it a bug that it defaults back to false for the ADO.NET - ODBC combination?
Quick responses much appreciated!

I posted this over on, I guess, the other SQL Server forum (msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups). Sorry if it's a cross post or better answered there.
Does anyone know if the feature packs are included in SP1 or still need to be installed separately.
Hi!
I am having a terrible time with the report feature. First of all, my queries through it do not match my queries thru SQL server 2005 Express Management. When I enter my fields, through the auto query function, it moves them. When I try to put them where I think they belong (by editing the SQL code, my queries get all messed up).
Is there a way to import my SQL query and run it through the report feature?
I am using windows XP Pro
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 version 8.0.50727.42
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers version 9.00.2047.00
Thank You so much......
Theres a feature in oracle that allows you to modify tables, colums, values and the data from its enterprise console the same way that you can in sql server. In oracle however theres a button called 'show sql' that allows you to see and copy/paste the resulting sql for the changes made via the console.
I would imagine that sql server has a similar option. The reason i ask is that i would like to more fully learn how to do this through the query analyser and get more familiar with sql involved and I would be able to do this if I could see the resulting sql from enterprise manager.
Hope this makes sense.
I did find something in sql server called 'generate sql' but this doesnt update during changes you make automatically.
Thanks

Hi,
While reading (I have come across what seems to be maybe a powerful and useful feature) available in MSAS and thus this related question:
Can someone briefly explain the use of this feature and how it can come in handy.
So far I have skimmed through BOL and it says that "Only parent-child dimensions support this dimension characteristic" i.e. Write-enabled feature.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I know that reporting services is a reporting suite, but is there a way in which records/data/information can be submitted/updated from RS?
thanx
Has anyone seen this strange behaviour?
I have a package which loads the fact data from Stage into Warehouse database. This packages normally handles early arriving facts. In that package I use lookup to check the dims which exists, and where they don't I populate the dimension and use the surrogate key to load the facts. This works fine.
I had a request to load 7 years worth of historical data. Instead of re-writing the package I took the package which handles early arriving facts and deleted the section which handles early arriving facts. I knew all the dimensions already exists and I don€™t want to hinder the performance when I load millions of rows. During testing I found something very interesting.
If you have configured error path in the lookup component and removed the error path later, the package will NOT fail (won't produce error) even if the lookup can't find matching values.
Correct Behaviour Example 1:
[1] Stage fact table has 2 records, with product code 1 and 2.
[2] Warehouse Product table has only product code 1.
[3] Source - Lookup - Destination in the data flow task. Error port on lookup is not configured.
[4] From source we read 2 records, and the package will fail at lookup as it can't find Product Code 2.
Correct Behaviour Example 2:
[1] Stage fact table has 2 records, with product code 1 and 2.
[2] Warehouse Product table has only product code 1.
[3] Source - Lookup - Destination in the data flow task. Error port on lookup is configured to go to RowCount.
[4] From source we read 2 records, and the package will run successfully. It will put one record into warehouse table and send the invalid record into RowCount.
Incorrect Behaviour Example 3:
[1] Stage fact table has 2 records, with product code 1 and 2.
[2] Warehouse Product table has only product code 1.
[3] Source - Lookup - Destination in the data flow task. Delete the configured error port from lookup.
[4] From source we read 2 records, and the package will run successfully. It will put one record into warehouse table and discard the other.
My understanding if the error port is NOT configured as shown in example 2, it should fail as shown in example 1.
Am I missing a point or is this suppose to be a correct behaviour or is it a bug?
Thanks

I tried SQL mirroring in beta 1 , then it was gone, until SP1.
Now I can not setup mirror, it is fine if it is just hard to setup, but it seems it is full of bug! The mirroring has to be stable, since I am trying to mirror product db, what a diaster if something goes wrong.
I am trying two servers, both has 9.0.3042. First I tried to setup on my home machine, I VPN to my network, After I config security, I see two connection strings:
TCP://sql8.mydomain.netsql2005:5022
TCP://sql5.mydomain.netsql2005:5022
and I click start mirroring, then I got error - Alter failed due to invalid connection string. Hard to figure it out, right?
Then I tried the same thing on a server in the network, this time I get
TCP://sql8.mydomain.net:5022
TCP://sql5.mydomain.net:5022
and it doesn't show that error anymore, I am not sure why the connection should be like the latter format, but in anyway, how come SMO can not make it right?
then I get another error, SQL server doesn't exist or can not access, I search on the Internet, it seems that error could mean anything, include that the mirror db is not in restore mode.
But I did set the mirror db in restore mode and both sql5 and sql8 are under same domain, pysically close.
So what else I can check?
Any suggestion?
thanks

Hi there,
I am trying here to get a situation going which includes both transactions and checkpoints to make sure that when something goes wrong I don't get a) data corruption (hence the transactions and b) I don't have to completely restart my 2hr run (hence the checkpoints). However I ran into something of which i cannot see whether it is intended behaviour or simply a bug.
Here's the deal:
I have a SSIS-package in which I enable checkpoints (CheckpointUsage: IfExists and SaveCheckpoints: True).
I have 2 Dataflows which follow eachother (the first dataflow prepares data for the second dataflow to edit).
Because I want to make sure that my data is secure I put a separate transaction on both the dataflows.
And here my problem arises. If I run my package now and the second dataflow breaks then my checkpoint sends me back to the first dataflow and my initial insert is executed again, which isn't meant to happen (I enabled checkpoints to prevent rerunning items). Somehow my checkpoint does not register the fact that the first dataflow has already been executed and it will execute that one again upon rerun.
However: if I put a random task between the 2 transacted dataflows (for example an empty script-task) it will work as intended. Just as long as this inserted item doesnt have a transaction; because if it does then the problem comes back
Now if I execute the package then my checkpoint shows that the first dataflow has already been executed and thus it will not execute this one again and it starts at the second dataflow upon re-execution.
I can work around it (with the empty script-task) but still I am wondering as to why this is happening. I am very interested to hear whether this is really a bug or if it is intended behaviour (and if it is then why is it intended?)
Hi,
I have two input columns (both DT_I4) in a column collection to a Aggregator transform. Now I am doing a group by to one and Count to another column.
To my surprise the output's column datatype is changed for Count Transform (DT_UI8) and I have to put extra Data Conversion Transfrom to get my DT_I4 datatype back.
Is this a bug or feature.

A new developer tried to import a data file using the ImportExport wizard. Unfortuantely, the file had several format errors and the process aborted after reading one bad line. (I imported it using a BIDS package with error handling. The file had 454 bad rows.)
Are there any options in the I/E Wizard to logskip errors but continue processing? After all, the I/E Wizard is designed for quick-and-dirty use and if it can't "handle" erroneous data "gracefully", it is not a very practical tool.
TIA,
Barkingdog
I am currently using the SSIS Logging feature in my SSIS package. Currently, I have defined a destination log file, and each time the package is executed the log file gets appended with that days log.
Im trying to figure out how best to keep the log file name static (it gets emailed out, and my email client looks for a particular log file name) yet include only todays log information and append the rest of the log information to a history log file or something like that.
Has anyone tried doing something similar, or have any ideas on how best this can be accomplished?
Thanks
Good day all,I'm looking for suggestions on how to handle the calculating of scores for search results from data. Primarily if it would be best to calculating the score on the SQL server side or in the application's logic itself after the results have been retrieved? I already have an idea of the calculations I want to do which will be pretty simple, just a basic point system for containing all the queried terms and additional points for the number of times those words appear on the page. Feedback or links to articles on this would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards doing so on the SQL side myself but my SQL skills are not as polished as I would like for jumping into that, so examples could be good.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a solution to allow users to generate data by selecting tables-->columns-->where clauses on the fly.
I am thinking to maintain relationships, joins, etc., in some configuration tables. Based on the fields selected by the user, I can get these conditions and generate a query, execute and export to excel. Any ideas what is the good way of storing relationships, etc. in configuration table?
Also suggest if there is any good excel add-in to do adhoc reporting. Point me if there is any other ways of doing.
If I have to do it from scratch, i probably use VB.NET.
Any ideas, information is appreciated. thanks
Hi,
I'm using SQL2K with SP4 2187. I have created a DB Maintenance wizard where the purging older than 1 day is set.
However, this feature seems not to be working, even if I tried two ways. Delete the scheduled job and recreate it - not successful, 2nd) delete the Maintenance Plan, still not successful.
Is this a bug or do I miss something here.
after installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Com feature pack and then restarting my management studio, I still cannot see or edit my dts packages. I also tried editing them in the integration services consule but no luck there. I see them under the msdb and have no option to edit them.
Has anyone got this utility to work?

Hi
I was trying to install the SQL server 2005 trial version and the only warning I got was for IIS feature requirement.
I am using MS Windows XP home edition SP2 with 1GB RAM and 2.80 GHz pentium processor.
How can I get this IIS feature on my machine with these specifications? am I forced to have a different operationg system to support the IIS? Is this problem caused by the operating system I am using or what else could have caused this?
After installing SQL server 2005 by ignoring the IIS warning I realised I could not get Reporting service feature installed.
How can I get this Reporting service ? Will I be able to get the reporting services installed if I do not change the Operating system? What should I do if I want to have reporting services components installed on my machine?
Thanks
Below is the warning message I got , I tried to follow the instruction but I could not see the IIS anywhere on my machine

When you direct one of the item in one report to open up another report, you are suppose to move your mouth over that item.
Is there any way to make that iten toggle? Like get bigger or change color? So that the user can find that feature out easier?
