Understanding Linked Report
Mar 6, 2007
I have tried using the linked report with CreateLinkedReport(...) but I do not understand the output.
initially I have a report with parameter that user needs to specified before generating . I use something like
CreateLinkedReport("test4", "/Report Server",
"/Report Server/xxx/yyy", props)
where "/Report Server/xxx/yyy", is the linked path to that file.
What happen is that this report 'template' has changed to a 'linked' report with specified parameters. and that new linked report 'test4" is created under /Report Server. And this test4 is like a copy of the orginal "/Report Server/xxx/yyy".
What I want is the opposite where the orginal template stays the same. And the new created test4 is the report that stores the specified values.
Regards

I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
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?
Thanks,

How do I get data on my linked report based on my grouped subtotal and grand total from the main report. The subtotal and grand total are calculated columns.
I have a 3 columns in my matrix in the SSRS summary report. Actn_COAST, ActnCITY and NumbOfAccts.
The following is code for my summary report. The results are shown below.
SELECT Distinct ActnCITY, Count(ACCT) as NumbOfAccts,
CASE WHEN ActnCITY in ('NY', 'OH', IN, 'NJ', 'SC', 'NC') THEN 'EAST COAST'
WHEN ActnCITY IN ('CA'. 'NV', 'UT', 'WA', 'OR') THEN 'WEST COAST'
ELSE 'OTHER'
END AS Actn_COAST
FROM tbl1
where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT
Code for my detail report contains the following SQL
SELECT * FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT AND @ActnCITY = ActnCITY
I have linked my report based on the NumbOfAccts column. I am able to get data if I click any of the NumbOfAccts values related to the state I want. However when I am not sure how to make the subtotal and grand total work. I want when I click on the subtotal of either coast, I should be able to see records of that coast e.g., if I select 37 I should be able to see all the records in East Coast. If I click on the Grand Total, I only want data related to those 2 coasts.

I can find two ways of doing this.
1.SetProperties()
Property[] props = new Property[1];
Property setProp = new Property();
setProp.Name = "Name";
setProp.Value = "NewName";
props[0] = setProp;
rs.SetProperties(itemPath, props);
---> Does this also rename the 'Path' property, becuase this is our key to accessing the reports.
2. MoveItem()
string currentPath = "/Reports/OldName";
string targetPath = "/Reports/NewName";
rs.MoveItem(currentPath, targetPath);
Which should i use and why.. thanks..

We are currently running SQL Reporting Services 2000 and have the ability to open a linked report in either a new window or tab just by right-clicking on the link and selecting from the context menu. We are looking to migrate to SQL Reporting Services 2005 and when you right click on a linked report link, there is no option to open the linked report in either a new window or tab.
So my question is, is there a way to have linked reports open in either a new tab or window in SQL Reporting Services 2005? I searched this forum but all I saw were some round-about ways of accomplishing this using javascript. We have a lot of reports and would like to avoid altering each one to allow the ability to open a linked report in a new tab or window.

I have a report that is setup to print landscape.
I deploy to Report Manager, print it, and everything works great.
If I create a linked report from the deployed report, the linked report prints portrait.
Does anyone know of a workaround or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks!!

Does anyone have a sample of a CreateLinkedReport method they are using? I am using Reporting Services 2005 and Visual Basic 2005. I need the VB code and how I need to call it. I'd like to change one parameter, and then send it to select recipients using a specified schedule.
Thanks, Iris

I have a report with a hidden parameter that defaults to the logged in user. In this way, a user can only see his own information. However, I now need to give a group of administrators access to change the value of the parameter (to see information for other people). What is the best/most appropriate way to accomplish this?
I thought I'd try the Linked Report, but do not see how I can set the default value for the User ID parameter to the value of the current logged in user in the Reports Manager. Is that possible?
I also tried creating a report with the parameter open but restrictive access, and then use that report as a subreport on a report where the parameter is closed. However, a general user cannot open the subreport in this case because he doesn't have access to the open report.

Hi,
I updated a report adding parameter expressions. A linked report based on the report I updated didn't get the parameter expressions when I deployed the base report. Anybody else having that issue? It's not much of a problem. I just have to recreate the linked report which is a nusance.
Thanks,

Hello, I've been trying the suggestions in the link below, and without success.
http://blogs.msdn.com/bwelcker/archive/2005/09/28/474898.aspx
This is supposed to allow us to build a linked report with these properties already set. This post works for a linked report that is already deployed. I want to set the properties on the report as I'm deploying the linked report. The instructions listed don't seem to work, it gives type errors and other related things when I try this approach, has anyone else had any luck doing this?
It says:
Error : rsElementTypeMismatch (The value provided for the PageHeight
field is not valid for its type. It cannot be converted from a string value to
the type that is required.)
What do I do to get around this? I tried changing it to a number, but no luck. I'm trying to do this in rs.exe:
Dim props(7) As [Property]
props(0) = New [Property]
props(0).Name = "Description"
props(1) = New [Property]
props(1).Name = "Hidden"
props(2) = New [Property]
props(2).Name = "PageHeight"
props(3) = New [Property]
props(3).Name = "PageWidth"
props(4) = New [Property]
props(4).Name = "BottomMargin"
props(5) = New [Property]
props(5).Name = "TopMargin"
props(6) = New [Property]
props(6).Name = "LeftMargin"
props(7) = New [Property]
props(7).Name = "RightMargin"
props = RS.GetProperties(basereportpath, props)
RS.CreateLinkedReport(name, parent, basereportpath, props)

Hi All,
We have a j2ee application which uses Microsoft Reporting Services 2005 for reports.
In our JSP page we show and hide an IFRAME for which the src url is given as the Report URL with queryString for parameters.
Is there a standard way to POST data to report rather than passing it to URL in query String.
We also have a linked report.
We need to display this report in a Popup or provide a back button .
How to do this..
Kindly help me in this regard as we are new to reporting services

I have a base folder (Report Folder A) which has several reports. One of these is a report that is simply a subreport of one of the others in the folder (it uses different default parameters, which is why it's necessary).
I then created another folder (Report Folder B) for users who only have access to some of the data in the reports...so they have browser access to Folder B but not Folder A. All of the reports for the users work except for the one that contains the subreport. When I run the report with a subreport I get the message: "Error: Subreport could not be shown". I'm guessing this is because the users don't have access to the base report. Does anyone have an idea of how to work around this without giving the users access to the base report (in Folder A)?
Thanks,
Richard

I deployed a report I created to Reporting Services using Management Studio. From here I could create subscriptions, if I choose. I created a linked report in a different folder from the original report. I defined all the parameters for this linked report. I cannot create subscriptions for the linked report - the context menu items are grayed out.
Anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to correct it?

Hi,
We have two domains in our organisation, both with transitive trust of one another.
In our main domain we have a report server which is available for all users across both domains to access and use. Most of the time there isn't a problem but I'm having a bit of an issue with users from our second domain accessing a linked report containing 13 subreports.
The main report is fine and all users can view this, however, all subreports show an error message to users in our second domain.
As a bit of an experiment I have even given one user Content Manager rights on the report server but this hasn't solved the problem. I have checked that permissions are correct on ther server, folders and data sources dozens of times and cannot find any reason why second domain users are having this problem.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this I would be grateful for help.
With humble thanks in advance,
Paul

I've got a report server that I recently inherited. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert on SSRS, but I've figured out a lot in the past few weeks.
One issue I'm having (apparently it's always been there, but nobody ever bothered to fix it in the past) has to do with the report subscriptions and linked reports. We have an SSL cert inside IIS. I have SSRS configured to "require SSL connections" in the Report Server Virtual Directory tab.
So the user gets an email with a link to a report. But the link has an "http://" as opposed to "https://." When you click on the link, it throws your standard "page must be viewed on a secure channel." When I manually append an S to the url, it works great.
There has to be a way to automagically add the S to the url, but I can't seem to figure out how. Anyone ever run into this before? Google has not been good to me this morning either.

I am facing an Issue with my SSRS-Reports. I have a stacked column chart in my report and the columns are linked to another report, a sub-report with 6 parameters. Right now after clicking the columns, the sub-report get opened in the same IE-Tab, with relevant parameters and it works out correctly. Challenge is, to open the new report in a new tab / window.
My Current situation: A Chart report, with Action “go to report” on series properties with 6 parametersChallenge: open linked sub-report in a new tab.Info 1: new path of sub-report looks like this:
http://<my_report_server>?ItemPath=<subreportName>&ExecId=qwercc45xgfvll45e4ebgjna&PingId=314x1cy4etmnky45abszeb99
Already tried with no success: I know, action “go to URL” using Expression:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://……','_blank'))"
Info 2: the parameters are like these: CompanyName; Date_From; Date_To; Title; Division; ProfitCenter.
I don’t know If I should try to create this ExecId and PingId; If there is any way to pass the through the parameters or there is another way.

Hi,
The following SQL is lifted from one of the Reporting Services / Adventureworks2000 sample reports. I'm a little slow / baffled on how the inner joins are working? Specifically the Inner Join Locale and Inner Join ProductModel. I'm used to seeing Inner Join SomTable On Something = Somthing but how these joins are working is lost on me. Can someone give a quick overview (or point me to a reference) so I can better understand.
Thanks!
SELECT ProductSubCategory.Name AS ProdSubCat, ProductModel.Name AS ProdModel, ProductCategory.Name AS ProdCat, ProductDescription.Description,
ProductPhoto.LargePhoto, Product.Name AS ProdName, Product.ProductNumber, Product.Color, Product.Size, Product.Weight, Product.DealerPrice,
Product.Style, Product.Class, Product.ListPrice
FROM ProductSubCategory
INNER JOIN Locale
INNER JOIN ProductDescriptionXLocale ON Locale.LocaleID = ProductDescriptionXLocale.LocaleID
INNER JOIN ProductDescription ON ProductDescriptionXLocale.ProductDescriptionID = ProductDescription.ProductDescriptionID
INNER JOIN ProductModel
INNER JOIN Product ON ProductModel.ProductModelID = Product.ProductModelID
INNER JOIN ProductModelXProductDescriptionXLocale ON ProductModel.ProductModelID = ProductModelXProductDescriptionXLocale.ProductModelID
ON ProductDescriptionXLocale.LocaleID = ProductModelXProductDescriptionXLocale.LocaleID AND
ProductDescriptionXLocale.ProductDescriptionID = ProductModelXProductDescriptionXLocale.ProductDescriptionID
ON ProductSubCategory.ProductSubCategoryID = Product.ProductSubCategoryID
INNER JOIN ProductCategory ON ProductSubCategory.ProductCategoryID = ProductCategory.ProductCategoryID
LEFT OUTER JOIN ProductPhoto ON Product.ProductPhotoID = ProductPhoto.ProductPhotoID
WHERE (Locale.LocaleID = 'EN')

I'm trying to get the following poll working:http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Site_Poll_Control.aspIt looks like it's exactly what I was looking for, but it doesn't come with much in the way of instructions. I have the following function: Public Function CastVote(ByVal PollId As Integer, ByVal Answer As Integer, ByVal MemberId As Integer) As Boolean Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("InsertPollResult", New SqlConnection(Connection)) With cmd.Parameters .AddWithValue("@PollId", PollId) .AddWithValue("@PollChoice", Answer) .AddWithValue("@MemberId", MemberId) End With Return (SqlExecuteInsertSp(cmd) > 0) End Function This calls SqlExecuteInsertSp(cmd) which is:Public Function SqlExecuteInsertSp(ByVal cmd As SqlCommand) As Integer Dim i As Integer cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Try cmd.Connection.Open() i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() Catch ex As Exception ErrorMessage = "ProDBObject.SqlExecuteInsertSp(SqlCommand): " & ex.Message.ToString Finally cmd.Connection.Close() End Try Return i End Function I can't figure out what this is doing. The best I can figure is it determines if we have a good connection. Is this right? In my code CastVote keeps returning false, and I don't know why. The answer seems to be in the i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() line, but I can't figure out what that line is supposed to be doing.Diane

Hi Guys,
I have written quite a big stored procedure which creates a temporary table (multi-session) and updates it. All the statements are encapsulated in a single transaction which is explicitly declared in the code. What happens is that a lock is being put by the server on that table (of type Sch-M) in order thus preventing any type of operations on it (including simple select)
Now, I want to be able read that table from within another transaction. Why is that I cannot use a table hint NOLOCK in the select statement?
Here is some code which reproduces my problem.
Query A:
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;
BEGIN TRAN TR_DEMO;
CREATE TABLE ##TBL1(
Oidx int not null primary key identity(1,1),
Name nvarchar(30) not null,
Type char(1) not null
);
INSERT ##TBL1 (Name,Type) VALUES ('Car','M');
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10';
INSERT ##TBL1 (Name,Type) VALUES ('Plane','M');
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10';
INSERT ##TBL1 (Name,Type) VALUES('Submarine','M');
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10';
DELETE FROM ##TBL1;
DROP TABLE ##TBL1;
COMMIT TRAN TR_DEMO;
Query B:
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM ##TBL1 (NOLOCK) ORDER BY oidx DESC;
Launch query A and then execute query B.
Thanks a lot for your help.

My question is in what situations @@ERROR will be set...
I like to do some logic when some error is occured in a particular statement....
the doc. says the @@ERROR value will be set if an error occurs in a statement, and the control will move to the next statement without exiting(???) the procedure and @@ERROR value can be used in that statement.
but when i execute the below procedure, the execution is terminated ( when the error occurs) without moving to the next statement. please help me to understand the SQL Server's @@ERROR and the situations when it will be set....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE VALUE_ERROR_TEST
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @adv_error INT
DECLARE @errno INT
DECLARE @var int
SELECT @var = '101 a'
SELECT @errno = @@ERROR
print @errno
END
go
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure get successfully compiled. when executed it says,
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Procedure VALUE_ERROR_TEST, Line 10
Syntax error converting the varchar value '101 a' to a column of data type int.

Please consider the following example.CREATE TABLE test (an_ndx int NOT NULL primary key identity(1,1),a_var varchar(48) NOT NULL,last_edit_timestamp datetime NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);CREATE TABLE test_history (an_ndx int NOT NULL,a_var varchar(48) NOT NULL,last_edit_timestamp datetime NOT NULL,current_edit_timestamp datetime NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);GOCREATE TRIGGER update_history ON test FOR UPDATEASBEGININSERT INTO test_history (an_ndx, a_var, last_edit_timestamp)SELECT * FROM deleted;UPDATE inserted SET last_edit_timestamp = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;END;The question is, does this do what I think it should do? What Iintended: An insert into test results in default values for an_ndx andlast_edit_timestamp. An update to test results in the original row(s)being copied to test_history, with a default value forcurrent_edit_timestamp, and the value of last_edit_timestamp beingupdated to the current timestamp. Each record in test_history shouldhave the valid time interval (last_edit_timestamp tocurrent_edit_timestamp) for each value a_var has had for the "object"or "record" identified by an_ndx.If not, what change(s) are needed to make it do what I want it to do?Will the trigger I defined above behave properly (i.e. as I intended)if more than one record needs to be updated?ThanksTed

I am using SQL Server Express and Visual Studio 2005. I am new to batches and am trying to understand how they work. I am trying to write a query that creates an assembly and the functions that are contained in it. Here is my query:
USE ProductsDRM
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'True' FROM sys.assemblies WHERE name = 'ComputedColumnFunctions')
BEGIN
CREATE ASSEMBLY ComputedColumnFunctions
FROM 'C:WebsitesAssemblyTestStoredFunctionsStoredFunctionsinStoredFunctions.dll'
GO
CREATE FUNCTION fImageFileName
(
@ProductID int,
@ImageSizeCode nvarchar(4000)
)
RETURNS nvarchar(4000)
AS EXTERNAL NAME [ComputedColumnFunctions].[StoredFunctions.UserDefinedFunctions].ImageFileName
GO
CREATE FUNCTION fTestInt
(
@ProductID int
)
RETURNS int
AS EXTERNAL NAME [ComputedColumnFunctions].[StoredFunctions.UserDefinedFunctions].TestInt
GO
CREATE FUNCTION fTestInt2
(
@TestInt int
)
RETURNS int
AS EXTERNAL NAME [ComputedColumnFunctions].[StoredFunctions.UserDefinedFunctions].TestInt2
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'The assembly named "ComputedColumnFunctions" already exists. No new assembly was created.'
END
GO
I read in a book about SQL Server 2005 about including a test for whether the object (such as assembly in this case) exists before trying to create it. If I only include the CREATE ASSEMBLY statement and the FROM line below it and delete the next GO down through the last CREATE FUNCTION (just before the END ELSE), it works fine. If I leave it as is, I get a runtime error on the GO line just after the CREATE ASSEMBLY statement. What am I doing wrong?

I have a situation where I need to distribute a db to 'subscribers' for use during network, and preferred application downtime. Currently, we do this by employing MS-Access. We update our db on the 'subscriber' by sending a text file with the new data using FTP.
When the 'subscriber' opens their local copy of the Access db application, a macro fires off to check for any new file in the ftproot folder, and if one is detect that is newer than the last update, it truncates the existing table, and imports the text file using a predefined import specification format. The process works well enough as is. However, we were hoping to move beyond our dependency on MS-Access for a variety of reasons, so we are looking at developing windows forms apps using the new Asp.Net v2.0 technology and Sql2005 and SqlExpress.
I need some clarification on how replication works. Does it allow a 'snapshot' db to be created on a subscriber that can be used when the network is down? If not do we have alternatives? For example, I guess we could export/import to the subscriber in some manner.
Hope I've made the case clear enough for some responses. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help. :)

Please forgive the basic-ness of my question, but I have only been using DTS and SSIS for 2 weeks now.
What I'd like to know is, is my understanding of SSIS package development correct.
In SQL Server 2005, I use BIDS to develop my SSIS packages. During development, I simply store my project on the local C drive.
However, once I am finished writing and testing my projects, I move them to SQL Server, using SAVE COPY AS... (for now, I only using one server for both development and production)
Then, anytime I need to change or modify the package, I change the local file system copy of the package, then do another COPY AS... to SQL Server.
That is, once the package is on SQL Server, if you need to change it, you can only do so through BIDS, correct?
I just want to know if I'm on the right track here.
What do other people do?
Thanks much

I just learned some basic FTP commands for the first time and was able to transfer over some files from one machine to another. Now I'm trying to to this using the FTP Task.
First of all, I understand that the destination machine has to be set up with something called an FTP Site. And I noticed that when I do a "cd" command in my FTP session, I have visibility only to those directories that are set up as an FTP Site.
Ok, onto the FTP Task. First I created and test connected my FTP Connection Manager. Next, I went into the FTP Task Editor, and I'm in the File Transfer page. Looking at the properties, I guess, this is where I tell what file to move where.
So, in IsRemotePathVariable, I selected "False". When I did this, I was expecting to be able to navigate the various FTP Sites I have set up on my destination computer. However, when I click on RemotePath, I only see "/" (Root). Was I wrong to expect to see the FPT Sites here? What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I'm fairly new to coding with ADO in C++. My previous experience with it was in VB 6.0 and VB.NET. I'm having difficultly deciphering HRESULTs that come back from it when an error occurs. Up until this point I was using,
DXGetErrorString9(), and DXGetErrorDescription9() to interpret any HRESULT that got sent back to my program, but now that I'm using ADO they always return "Unknown".
Is there a Microsoft provided group of functions that help programmers to better understand ADO's HRESULTs?
Thanks,

Can someone help me to understand a stored procedure I am learning about? At line 12 below, the code is calling a function named"ttg_sfGroupsByPartyId" I ran the function manually and it returns several rows/records from the query. So I am wondering? does a call to the function return a temporary table? And if so, is the temporary table named PartyId? If so, the logic seems strange to me because earlier they are using the name PartyId as a variable name that is passed in.
1 ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetPortalSettings]2 (3 @PartyId uniqueidentifier,45 AS6 SET NOCOUNT ON7 CREATE TABLE #Groups8 (PartyId uniqueidentifier)910 /* Cache list of groups user belongs in */11 INSERT INTO #Groups (PartyId)12 SELECT PartyId FROM ttg_sfGroupsByPartyId(@PartyId)
