I added a Named Query on my existing data source view and I recreate the report model, however, I am unable to see the Named Query on the Report Model, I can see only the tables.
ReportModel is created ,there is only a named query in DSV ,it has a few tables in it(The relationship are inner joins and outer joins).
The question is how could I create a unique logical primary key to identify each unique row in the named query dataset, and also you cannt generate a model unless the named query has a logical primary key . how can I solve this problem,any help?
Hi, Consider the following situtation. ReportModel is created using named queries. It has multiple entities. Report Model is deployed to the report server and datasource is set dynamically at runtime(programmatically). When user runs the report (which is created using report model above), I need to change the where clause of one of the entities in ReportModel. How can i acccomplish this programmatically?
I created a report model. The data source view contains some tables and some views, however, in the report model window, I can see only the tables but not the views.
I'm trying to deploy a Report Model to my local machine that contains an ODBC connection to an iSeries Access ODBC Driver. The system DSN is already setup on my PC, named exactly the same. The data set views and report models create and build succesfully but when I try to deploy using BIDS I get an error description "System.Data.Odbc" for the dataset file and the model.
I can't really see anything substantial in the log files, although not sure what one I should be looking in.
I'm having a heck of a time with named queries. At this point I just want a proof of concept in my DSV. I have a bunch of tables added to the DSV, and I would like to add a named query to it so the user can pick from the name query in report builder. What has to be done to make it appear in the report builder?
Hi, it's my first time for using report model as the datasource of reporting service. But I don't know how to build the query string to get data from the report model. Can anyone help me?
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel as select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
I have created and deployed a data source (which uses "Credentials supplied by the user running the report") and a model which uses this data source. Also I have built a report using Report Builder and all works well.
Now I wish to use Visual Studio to build a report, so I'm trying to create a data source from my computer which the report should use and I want it to use the model on the remote server. In the Report Wizard I am using "Report Server Model" and the following connection string:
IHowever I can't make the credentials to work. I've tried them all with no luck. What username/password must I use? Because so far nothing of what I have tried works.
I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill.
Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl.
Questions:
1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields?
2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl?
Our company is doing some basic research into using analysis services as a solution for our customers. I've taken our database and built an analysis services project in BI Studio and deployed it to Analysis Services on my local machine I connect to Reporting Services in Management Studio, create a folder for the cube, give my Windows user acct. Content Manager permission, create the Data Source (conn string = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=(local)SQLServer2k5;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=STI-PDB" -- copied from the Analysis Services project in BI Studio), and go to "Generate Model". What I get is an rsModelGenerationError, sub [Create Perspective From Cubes] with a connection issue at the base:
Either the user, <computername>Thomas, does not have access to the STI-PDB Database, or the database does not exist. () (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services)
Now, in the Database Engine, my Windows account has the db_owner database role for STI-PDB and it's default schema is dbo, which all the objects are created under. What am I missing here?
Is it possible to dynamically refresh the report model of the report builder?
could it even be using code with any of the interfaces?
When we add a table or add a column to the table in database , will the report model get refreshed automatically or do we need to do it externally. If so, can we use any of the objects and write a custom code in VB.
Semantic query execution failed. The 'PerspectiveID' custom property for the 'query' perspective is either not set or is not set to the string data type.
I have a report model that I am trying to deploy using report manager web service. A folder is created by the administrator to place all my SSRS reports. I deployed .rdl files using the "Upload file" function in "Report Manager". All the SSRS reports work fine but when I tried to upload .smdl file (report model file) using the Report Manager's "Upload file" function it gave me the following error message.
The permissions granted to user 'xxxxxxman' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Does this mean I only have permission to upload .rdl file but NOT .smdl file to my designated folder?
I'm having some difficulty linking a custome drilldown or clickthroug report to another report that I have already created in report builder. I followed a MSDN article found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345226.aspx but I cannot find the " Select a page area, select Drill-through reports" option in report manager. Does anyone have a better explanation on how to do this? I'm assuming that when you create the clickthrough report there has to some sore of filter on it that relates to the item of the clickthrough. I guess I'm I little confused, any help would be great. Thanks.
I have done the following and a domain user would not access report created a login to the SQL server to the user (this SQL Server is where data source DB is)went to site setting in Report Manager and made this use a system userright clicked on report folder and made this user in the browser roleeven checked that in the report in question, the user is already in the browser role Still the user would not access the report! "User .......... does not have required permission" is the error message I am getting.Â
I was able to log in to SSRS report manager. But i was unable to run a report i designed on report builder.
It prompts for login when i wanted to run the report and i used the same windows authentication to sign in
It will show me the parameters but when i click on view report it gives this error
 "Data source 'DataSource1': An error has occurred.

I have environment that use SSRS 2005 ad hoc reporting.
One of the users (out of 200) is unable to open or save reports in the report builder.
the user succeed to open the report builder, when he try to save report that he build from shema he get error. as well when he try to open an existing report that build in the report builder he also get an error,
On open the error is:
The numeric portion of 2pt cannot be parsed as a unit of the type point.

Please note that I succeed with second user to create ad hoc report on the first user
computer. I also failed to with the first user to create ad hoc on another computer.
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
Hello, I've created a Report Model Project that can be used by Report Builder to generate ad-hoc reports. I'm trying to create a connection string in my Report Server Project that points to the Report Model Project data source view.
All I can do is create a regular datasource, which bypasses the metadata contained in the Data Source View.
Basically I want my Report Server Project and my Report Builder reports to leverage the same metadata. Is this possible? If so how do I get the connection string?
Is there an API or a way to consume a Report Model? I want to try and roll my own simple web-based / thin-client Report Builder without using the ClickOnce control.
Here is one scenario. There is category X which has subcategories A,B,C,D. A has 5 products and B has some 7 products, C 5 products and D has some 12 products. My problem is I need create a Report model where is if we select X all the list of subcategories and their products should be displayed. I.e if we select X then A 1
2 3
4 5 B 1 2 3 4 5 C and so on..........every thing should be displayed that are under category, i.e subcategories under that category and the products under each subcategory of that category.
Can anyone please help me out to create a Report Model to generate ad hoc reports
I created a report model and deployed it. When I open the rpt builder on web I get the following error.
'The selected data source does not have and content available'
Seemed like it would be a easy issue, but I cannot retrieve any data in the rpt model. The datasource I'm using does work for rpts not associated with the rpt model. Any suggestions? It seems like I've missed a step. Thanks, Lisa
schema and a generated model out of it. Now I€™ve few report requirements which will be developed based on Report Model. These Reports needs aggregate of All similar activities and the hrs spent and it'll be shown with every employee. Like Employee Xyz has spent 14 hrs total on Sick Activity, which will be shown as
Now i need to know the approach to develop it like i'v to ways in my mind
- create 3 custom fields(Sickhrs,Maternityhrs,Workhrs) in the Employee Entity(model), so that managers can create reports like above by simple drag and drop
- leave model as it is.. just create more descriptive fields in all the three table and let managers do the activity grouping etc to develop report like above..
Which approach should i follow? Moreover can you point me to some conceptual info like how report model works..etc..
I am using Oracle 9.2.6.0 and SQL 2005 SP2. I have created a report model based on Oracle DB. I use .Net Providers/Oracel Client Data Provider driver for my data source to connect to Oracle. It works fine but the performance is a bit slow. Then I tried to use .Net Providers for OLEDBOracle Provider for OLEDB driver. When I deploy, I got the following error message: "System.OleDB".
I tried to use my last resort, which is Native OLEDBOracle Provider for OLEDB. When I deploy, I got the following error message: "Exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' was thrown".
Anyone has this issue before? What is the best driver to use and what is the best approach in term of performance.
Hi, I've looked in vain for an answer to this, and it seems like it should be simple. Some new fields have been added to a table, and I need to add them to the Report Model. When I go to the data source view, the new fields do not show up in the table. Is there an easy way to get the new fields to show up, or do I need to delete the table (and of course the relationships), and then add it back. Thanks for any help.
The Adventure Works Model comes with 'Sales Person' entity inheriting 'Employees'. The Binding dropdown in the inheritance property for 'Sales Person' provides a 'FK_SalesPerson_Employee_SalesPersonID' choice. The Refining a Report Model in Model Designer Tutorial Lesson 10: Inheriting Properties from Other Entities, walks you through the process of setting this inheritance, but the Binding dropdown, after you set InheritsFrom to Employee, provides only the (None) choice. Anyone know why?
I am using report model as my data source and when I preview my report, I got the following error message:
