Can SSRS be configured to use any third party .NET charting components or only ones that have been specifically designed for SSRS? I have seen a couple of third party charting software (Dundas, etc.) and while they are nice, they sell at a real premium and there are not many vendors offering SSRS charting. I was hoping for a bit better value and more of a selection to choose from.

I want to produce a combination Column / Line chart for sales and budgets by amount/month
Sales figures should be displayed as lines with a separate line for each year.
Budgets should be displayed as columns. I will only be displaying budgets for the current year.
Is it possible to do this within Reporting Services - if so what chart type do I use
Hello Experts,
Problem here. Trying to display database column information in a chart. Basically I have a dbase query that pulls different percentiles on transaction. So when I run the query, a number appears in the data for columns called 95th percentile, 97th percentile and 99th percentile.
Now I know how to filter the data in reports by a parameter, however I do not know how to show columns by a parameter. Specicially in a chart situation. So if I choose 95th Percentile in a parameter dropdown box, I want to see the chart for the 95th percentile column in the database, likewise with the other columns.
I am not sure how to show/hide these via a parameter when charting. Anyone have any ideas?
Has anyone heard as to whether Microsoft plans on updating the charting engine for Reporting Services? Right now I find the charting capability rather limited and would like to see richer charting capability. Is this a case where it is better to not wait for this feature as it will be way off into the future before this happens, or better charting features just are not in the scope of Microsoft's plans for Reporting Services. If either case is true then the best solution would be to purchase the full capabilities of Dundas Chart for Reporting Services.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a bar chart and at the same time display some text after each bar.
I guess I could just create some textboxes on the chart, but I have a parameter that the user can change to specify the numbers of bars (therefore the number of textboxes, and the location of the textboxes are variables)
Is there anyway that I could do this in reporting services?
Thanks,

I have a bar chart that displays the detail of a table with locations along the x-axis and number of employees on the y-axis. Is there any way to have the sum of all of the locations show as the final bar in the chart? (which would be the footer in the table)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table which contains data regarding calls to the Help Desk, I want to chart this using a simple line chart in SSRS 2005 with the chart displaying the number of cases opened by the help desk each hour for the last 24 hours. Although our Help Desk provides 24/7 support, there are periods of an hour in which no calls are received. The issue I'm having is I want the chart to still display these hour periods of time even though there are no records created in the time span. I want the x-axis to display every hour for the last 24 hours.
Anyone have any suggestion on how I can accomplish this? The only idea I've come up with is creating a new table containing a list of every hour in a day and referencing this to build the x-axis...but it seems as though it should be easier than that?
Thanks in advance for any input or assistance.
Does anyone know if you can do polar charting with Reporting Services? I have a need to report the polar coordinates of an element and show the polar chart of the data elements. If I can't do polar charting with Reporting Services, does anyone know of a third party product that I can utilize?
Thanks

I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
Hi All,
I have to load data from from a text file ( approx 3-5 million rows) into a table .
I can use straight bcp with the format file , but the loading of data has to follow some business logic
Let me know if there are any third party tool to load the data instead of regular bcp
I have SqlServer 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0
Thanks in advance

Hey guys I really need your help.
We've outsourced our software last year, and it really a big mess for us since that company has been clashed. Then it so happened that the system failed to function well. Our batch transactions was working about 56 mins.. that is 24 records. Then it happened that this time 28 records was finished for about an hour. Our business hour is 8 hours only. That's why we have a back log now. We also failed to validate transaction since it takes a lot of effort before we update the database. It's working before but as our database becomes larger there are many errors occur in our application. Majority is runtime error. Then it happened that now we cannot move on anymore. We are using SQL server 2000 with VB6.0 application. our server memory is 1GB. Do you think adding additional memory will solve our problem?
Thanks!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on a SSIS package to move data between SQL2005 and DB2. I currently have the DB2 ADO .Net connector from DataDirect which works fine for connecting to the AS400. My question is that I am working on a script transformation and I want to be able to use the Connection already created in the package their.
I can set it up just fine using the properties for the script, but there appears to be no way to create SQLCommands and connections unless I reference the DataDirector DLL in the script, which requires adding it to the GAC and the Framework folder.
I am just wondering if this is the correct way to go about this or if there are any other recommendations. Please let me know if I need to supply more information.

Hi all
Our data management system currently runs DTS packages using DTSPKG.dll.
I am currently looking at the possibliity of replacing the DTS packages and SQL 2000 with DTSX packages using SSIS in SQL 2005.
Do I need a new dll? or will the current dtspkg.dll handle the new DTSX packages?
Many thanks in advance!
Currently we are using SQL Servers Backup utility to backup our databases to disk and then the files to backup tape during a nightly backup.
The time it takes for the backups to disk to complete for the databases is becoming prohibitively long and performance problems on the DB server are manifesting.
I am interested in other solutions. However, the propaganda listed at the various companies sites are less than insightful.
I was wondering if anyone used a third party Agent like Brightstor Enterprise SQL Server backup agent, or Veritas NetBackup for SQL Server, that would be willing to give some recommendations. If you use something that isn't listed here and it works well, I would be interested in hearing about it.
Do these backup agents significantly slow down the database performance? Do they create any locking issues? Some insight into your backup hardware configuration would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance for your help.
I have been using the built-in tools of SQL Server (email and netsend) to monitor and alert me about some basic issues (like severity errors and job failures) with our SQL servers. We are now approaching a level and number of servers where I think we need to get a more global and more stable solution to monitoring and alerting.
So what third party tools are you are using to monitor your SQL Servers?
Thanks

Hi All,
I am pretty new to SQL and would like a bit of friendly help, please. Am trying to set up a .Net web site that will have dynamic content supplied by a true SQL server (am using MSDE to build this first).
My issue is in building a search engine on my web site that will return hits from the content of the pages which are loaded in MSDE.
Is there a third party or open source search engine available?
Any clues for how to build (or beg, borrow or steal) a workable search engine to do this?
Many thanks,
Newbie
The only way I know of to debug a Sql 2005 stored proc is to create a VS2005 Database Project and step into it from there. Does anyone know of any third party tools that adds functionality to Sql Management Studio to step into stored procs?

We have a hosted SQL server with various internal applications on it. It has been decided by on high that the same server will also have a database from a third party on the server. The third party have asked for full system admin rights on the SQL server.
Obviously I am not going to grant that access level as it gives them full control on the box. From my viewpoint read and write access to the data can be tolerated but anything else will be denied. Would you consider this standard and is there any documentation with recommendations for control of external suppliers ?
I am sure that they shouldn`t be doing any work on tables structure, sp`s etc on a live database. That work should be tested, scripted etc and then run on in a controlled environment by my company.
Anyone have any advice ?
Thanks

hello all -- I'm an SSIS newbie who is exploring (custom) programming functionality through third party components, to be plugged into SSIS, for SMTP, FTP, PGP, TAR, WinZIP, basically for a scheduling & automation utility.
Is there such a concept of third party components (and marketplace for this?) or is VB a much better choice for this vis-a-vis components variety, $$ and robustness ?
thanks much,

Hi,
I have recently started using SQL Server with a 3rd party application and have come across a problem and i have no idea how to fix it...
The database has a column of numbers that go up either by 10 or 100 depending on the letter in another column. eg:
100 M
110 P
120 P
200 M
300 M
400 M
500 M
510 P
520 P
The 3rd party application has just been updated and now can add new rows to this table. The only problem is that the added row needs a new number, and the rows below need to be recalculated.
Is there anyway this can be done? Any help or suggestions would be great!
Cheers,
BL
I have a CLR procedure with the below code calling a third party .dll in the system32 directory of the SQL server:

using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
public class CorrectAddressProcedures

public static String Space(int len)
{
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("");
str.Append(' ', len);
return str.ToString();
}
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void spFindCityCounty(SqlString _zip, out SqlString _cityname, out SqlString _state, out SqlString _countyname, out SqlString _countynum)

StringBuilder zip = new StringBuilder(5);
StringBuilder cityname = new StringBuilder(28);
StringBuilder state = new StringBuilder(2);
StringBuilder countyname = new StringBuilder(25);
StringBuilder countynum = new StringBuilder(3);
try

cityname.Append(Space(28));
state.Append(Space(2));
countyname.Append(Space(25));
countynum.Append(Space(3));
zip.Append(_zip);
rc = FindCityCounty(zip, cityname, state, countyname, countynum);
_cityname = cityname.ToString();
_state = state.ToString();
_countyname = countyname.ToString();
_countynum = countynum.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw (ex);
}
}
}
I am getting the error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spFindCityCounty, Line 0

I completed an install of SQL 2005 SP2 on Windows Server 2003. Everything worked fine I can connect while logged into the box, while connected thru RDP. I can create databases add users without any issue. Until!!!!
I have a third party application (Tririga) which I run the install and indicate the SQL database (in this case local) The application begins to install but when I get to the point of adding the SA password the install fails.
"login fails for sa) 18456 sev 8 (wrong password) but it is the same password I use to connect to the DB. So I change the sa assword and try again and it still fails.
any suggestions would be nice. by the way on machines on which I have run an upgrade from 2000 (sql) to 2005 (sql) the install does not fail.
From my web application, exporting to Excel works fine, but when I export to CSV and open with Excel I get 2 garbage characters. I can export the report just fine from the ReportServer.
Is there something special that needs to be done? Could I have an old file?
Could it be something in my report? We always have the following components:
-- textboxes in the page header and footer
-- page header refers to parameter values; page footer refers to globals
-- 2 date parameters and 1 hidden boolean parameters
We're running SQL 2005 Reporting Services, and I have SP2 installed.
(I write the reports, not the web app)

I am trying to use NConstruct to generate my Nhibernate files. i can't connect to the sql server. In the past I have ran into similar problems with MyGeneration and other 3rd party tools. In those cases If I ran the tool as an administrator, it worked out ok. For NConstruct there is no option to run as administrator. I ran the SQL Server Surface Configuration tool to allow local and remote connections for named pipes and tcp already. I read all the blogs written for asp.net, and people often complain about the learning curve for Nhibernate or lack of Tutorials for Nhibernate. What I found in my case is that the steepest learning curve is to get the Microsoft Products Configured and Working Correctly! If anyone can be of any assistance, I would deeply appreciate it
