The Subscription Contains Parameter Values That Are Not Valid.
Feb 28, 2008
Hi,
We have a report server which has lots of reports. this particular report has 375 subscriptions and 80% of them are failing with the error "The subscription contains parameter values that are not valid." since last week nothing new was done on the server. when I open the properties of one of the subscriptions, one of the parameter value shows as a number where as it should be the name of a state.
Not sure what to do to get the subscriptions back.
any Ideas/help greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Phani

Hello,
I have something like 100 regular subscriptions.
It sometimes happen that one of the subscriptions suddenly stop to work with error "The subscription contains parameter values that are not valid". Example, one report has a dozen subscriptions, one of them stop to work. I look into the subscription and see that either one of the parameters is no longer set to a value or see nothing special besides the warning at the top of the subscription page. Parameters are all set to either default or some value(s). I reset one of the parameters, validate, or simply validate with no change and it works again.
Next time, in one or three weeks another subscription will fail, I will reset it.
Sometimes there are no errors, sometimes just 1 error and sometimes multiple errors accross reports or sometimes one report will suddenly have a few errors.
Right now, I use a weekly report to warn me after the fact of what were last week errors if any (no data, parameters unvalid, etc).
It looks like it happen with strings parameters based on datasets like "Sales offices" by example, where value and label are the same. Note that sales offices are by nature very stable, we do not change the spelling nor add remove entries. The list being a dataset gets rebuild, just to make sure we do not miss any eventual new sales office but if there is a new sales office, no one had a chance to select it as parameter value before it is in the dataset.
I am really not sure what is going on, were parameters values changed in the metadata? I do not think so.
Anyways, Is there a way to get an early warning instead of an after the fact error warning?
Is there anything else I coud try to "Refresh" or "remap" parameters values to avoid these errors?
When the subscription was created by a business analyst, If the parameters becomes blank, I have a hard time figuring out what it was when it was still valid. Is there any way to have a list of parameters values and have these values automatically "re-selected" by report server when the value gets lost?
This is not a big problem however it is annoying and people will have a bad perception of the system quality. "I created a subscription for Sacramento and never got my report", some people will also introduce garbage because they will create a new subscription instead of fixing the broken one, then they may eventually get twice the same report.
Any thought, does anyone had the same problem?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a data-driven subscription and having problems with parameters. On the Report Parameter Values screen of the Create Data-Driven Subscription function I have set a parameter TimesheetPeriodEnd to "Specify a static value" and checked the NULL box. In the report the parameter is type string and allows nulls. When I try to run the subscription the reports are not sent and the error log contains the following message:
ReportingServicesService!library!f!10/05/2007-09:31:08:: Status: Failure sending mail: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'TimesheetPeriodEnd' is not a valid value.
ReportingServicesService!notification!f!10/05/2007-09:31:08:: Notification 0ae544df-4b1b-4a46-b7ab-cdefdca201be completed. Success: False, Status: Failure sending mail: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'TimesheetPeriodEnd' is not a valid value., DeliveryExtension: Report Server Email, Report: Timesheet, Attempt 0
I am also setting other parameters for this subscription in the same way and not getting errors.
Any ideas? Previously I have had problems passing null values to parameters from the subscription query "Get value from database" from SELECT NULL AS ParameterName (this function just doesn't seem to work in SSRS). But I'm surprised I can't even seem to get this working with the default settings.
Regards,
Greg

I am deploying an rdl that is being deployed in a server.But i am encountering a problem regarding the valid values of the parameter.My parameters have dependencies,and one of my parameter comes out with two dependencies.
Scenario :
User needs to input his userID to access Book A.
Book B needs Book A because the output will be depending on the its content.
And Book C depend on Book B.
Problem:
when deploying, only Book A will have the initial value.The dependency in Book B is only one,which is fine.It shows its valid values. But how about for Book C which have 2 dependencies? Because it doesnt show it's valid values..

Anyone know if it is possible to reference the parameter values stored for a given subscription, in the subscription fields (subject/comment)?
So instead of just @ReportName at @ExecutionTime it could be @ReportName at @ExecutionTime (@ReportParameter1)
I know I can do this in data driven subscriptions, but was wondering if it was possible without.
Thanks,

I have been trying to add in date functions for parameters in a report subscription and they are not accepted. I have a report with 2 parameters, @start and @end. I have default parameters set wtihin the report of Now - month for @start and Now for @end. Can my users create a subscriotion using something like "=DateAdd("D", -1, Now)" for the parameters rather than the default?

I have subscriptions that fail because someone's email is no longer valid,
where is this error information stored so I can fix the problem?
I have a large list and it is hard to do manually.
I will be using data driven solutions, but these are existing subscriptions that need to be ran.

I have inherited a database that has a column defined as bit. Looking at BOL it shows the valid values are 0,1, null. However there are several rows of data which have -1. Is BOL wrong? we think a VB program runs an update which changes this.

Hi there
I have a sales report that is pulling up data and displaying the detailed lines and the aggregate/summary lines grouped by a single field.
THe report say has 10 summary/aggregate lines and each summary lines have a maybe 20 more lines to it.
I want to NUMBER the SUMMARY lines only. In a new column on the summary line cell, if I type, =RowNumber(Nothing), I get a count of all its sub-lines displayed. How can I limit the scope of numbering to just the summary lines and make sure it does not include the sub lines involved ?

I am trying to create a column chart that calculates the percentage of computers in our IT environment that are Actively communicating to our SCCM Server.
I have two datasets:
1. Total_Count_Of_AD_PC DataSet.
2. PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Basically i wan to calculate the percentage for each Region (i.e. AP for Asia Pacific, EMEA, Americas).
Below is the Total_Count_Of_AD_PC Dataset screenshot.
Below is the PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Below is the expression that i used that is causing the error.
=CountDistinct(IIf(Fields!Region.Value="AP", "PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients"),(Fields!Name.Value, "PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients"),Nothing)/CountDistinct(IIf(Fields!Region.Value="AP", "Total_Count_Of_AD_PC"),(Fields!name.Value,
"Total_Count_Of_AD_PC"),Nothing)
Below is the error message....
The Y expression for the chart ‘Chart2’ has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset.

Hi,
I tried to change the subscription property "sync_type" whith a system procedure but I was not able to do it, because sp_changesubscription does not support this property.
Is there any chance to change this property by procedure?
So I decided to drop the subscription and define it new with sp_addsubscription. I chose to set this to "replication support only" as the value "none" is depricated based on the online help. Unfortunately using this value results in an error message "only none or automatic is allowed".
How can I set this value now to "replication support only"?
I need to set the value to "replication support only" as this value leads into the generation of the stored procedures used for insert, update and deletes.
The purpose behind this, to restart a transactional push replication, doing all the initialization stuff by myself and not with reinitialize subscirption. I would like to decide, if I do the initialisation.

I have set up a parameter driven subscription and am having strange results. This subscription is being set up as Web-archive, including the report and link.
At first when setting up the report, I didn't have a default value set in the report, but would choose it in the subscription and would see an error saying the parameter value provided is not valid. After seeing the error I would edit the subscription and see the parameter value was blank. This would happen if the subscription was set to start after at least a few hours. This didn't matter if I chose the subscription schedule or using a shared schedule.
When I set up a subscription the same way, but then had it delivered within the next few minutes, the report would work fine, using the given parameter.
Since one of reports is being sent to a manager, I put in a default parameter value and set up a few subscriptions. I was hoping at least if the subscription "didn't remember" the parameter value, the default would be used and delivered. I was right, the report was delivered using only the default... but will only be delivered using the default.
There have been quite a few people posting similar questions, but none of them are answered.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
Ps - here is some of the log file relating to one of the failed subscriptions:

Hi,
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters).
Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension .
Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007".
But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All".
Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
Thanks !

Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value?
Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)...
I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school.
I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table).
I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school.
Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up...
The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'.
The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid.
...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter?
Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you

I have defined a monthly substription for a series of reports. I would like to be able to pass a paremter used in generating the report to the file name define in the subscription.
I can do it if I used system names such as @datetime, but I want to be able to use a parameter unique to the report.
For example if the parameter for the report was CARS and I was quesrying Toyotas how can I get toyoats to show up in the file name?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I've set up a data-driven subscription on a report but it's not sending and the error log says it's because:
Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'CSRFaxID' is not a valid value.
For the particular dataset record causing the error I'm passing the value Null to the report parameter. The report parameter CSRFaxID is set up with "Allow Null" and with a default value of Null. I can run the report in my browser with CSRFaxID set to null, but the scheduled subscription is not able to produce the report with the same parameter value. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Hi All.
I have a parameter (hidden) that gets its value using an expression base on another parameter.
When in the designer, the first time when the designer loads I can select the Parameter that controls the child parameter (expression lies in the default value section). The value changes.
When I change the parent parameter again, the value of the child parameter does not seem to change.
How can I make this parameter change automatically when the parent is changed ?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi all,
I've developed a data driven subscription report. I have a paramete (named "Data") that is a result of my query to the current date. It is working fine.
Now I would like to make one change: In the step4 of the creation of the data-driven report we have the option to give a name to the filename.The name that I gave was TestFile. In this option i'm also able to select the parameter instead of giving the name to the filename. Can I make something like TestFile_ & @Data? Wich would result in TestFile_01-02-2007? Or the only way is to make, in the query of the paramenter another field with this result?
Thanks in advance.
Marco.

I have a data-driven subscription (DDS) stored procedure that gets called when a subscription fires and returns parameters to a report. One of the parameter values I want to return is NULL, which also happens to be the default value of the corresponding report parameter.
When I set the report parameter to use the default value (NULL) when setting up the subscription in Report Manager, the subscription works fine. When I try to pass the NULL value from the DDS proc to the report, the subscription fails.
I do not know what the error logs say. I've rarely looked at them and what I have seen seems a bit cryptic. I've narrowed down through trial-and-error that passing the NULL value is the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you have a resolution?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi,
For the Data Driven Subscription in SSRS we are using the following stored procedure
In Step 3 - Create a data-driven subscription
create procedure spRSGetReportSettings
(
@ReportID as integer
) as
begin
set nocount on
declare @t as table(y int not null primary key)
declare
@cols as nvarchar(max),
@y as int,
@sql as nvarchar(max)
set @cols=stuff(
(select N',' + quotename(y) as [text()]
from (select ParameterName as y from Reportsettings where reportid=1) as Y
order by y
For XML Path('')),1,1,N'');
set @sql=N'select * from
(select reportid,parametername, parametervalue from ReportSettings where reportid= ' + Cast(@ReportID as varchar(5)) +' ) as D
pivot(min(parametervalue) for parametername in(' + @cols +N')) as p'
exec sp_executesql @sql
end
Basically the idea is to maintain a single report parameter setting table for multiple reports.
Structure of the table is as given below
ReportID, ParameterName, ParameterValue.
Using Pivot we can generate the ParameterName/ParameterValue combinations for each report. This stored procedure is working fine in query editors(Management Studio)
But, in SSRS it is giving any results.
In Step 4 - Create a data-driven subscription,
Get the value from the database drop down, I am not getting any database columns.
Please help.

Is it possible to have a custom start date parameter on a report? I would like to have a cumulative daily report for the week, Friday to Thursday. The final daily to run on the Friday, then the next week begins. I have a enddate, which is today()-1 (for previous day); I need a start date to be variable.
In other words,
On a Monday, report pulls data from last Friday to Sunday;
On a Tuseday, report pulls data from last Friday to Monday,
On a Wednesday, report pulls data from Friday to Tuesday, etc,
until on Friday, the report pulls data from last Friday to Thursday.

I have a report that is run on a monthly basis with a default date of null. The stored procedure determines the month-end date that it should use should it be sent a null date.
The report works fine when I tell it to create a history entry; however, when I try to add a subscription it doesn't appear to like the null parameter value. Since I have told the report to have a default value of null it doesn't allow me to enter a value on the subscription page.
Now, I suppose I could remove the parameter altogether from the stored proc, but then the users would never be able to run the report for a previous time period. Can someone explain to me why default values aren't allowed to be used on subscriptions when they seem to work fine for ad hoc and scheduled reports? This is really quite frustrating as most of my reports require a date value and default to null so that the user doesn't have to enter them for the latest data.
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
Key cannot be null. Parameter name: key
