I'm a very basic user to VSS 2005 and I've created a simple report to display our customer master table. The problem is that we have 1000's of customers, but the report must scroll page by page.
I have created some reports using Report Builder however they autorun with default values when selected in report manager, cant think many people would want this to happen. Is there a way of getting rid of the default values in RB or preventing auto execute in RM?
I've seen some similar posts to this one, however none with an answer and I'm wondering if anyone has actually figured out what causes this issue. I'm running SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I'm attempting to implement a folder structure for the report server, therefore am creating individual solutions in Visual Studio for each folder. At the top level i.e http://servername/reportserver/ I am able to deploy reports no problem.
However creating a folder at the next level in the tree and then deploying to that level such as http://servername/reportserver/ManagementReports causes a Reporting Services Login prompt to appear. No matter what user credentials I enter they are not accepted. I have full administrator rights the server, the site and the folders in question.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
My users are unable to view reports on server A. When trying to access it shows up as users have no access to the reports. We have another server B which also deploys the same set of reports,to the same set of users as Server A.Users are able to view the reports on Server B. Both server B & A are used for deploying reports that are created on another development server.I am very new to the concepts of IIS and report administration.Could someone tell me what I can start checking on? What are the settings that I can compare on both server ?
If I am not very clear on the problem explained above.Do let me know I would be glad to explain futher.
Hello friends, In my web application I have saved my connection string into web.config file. Now I have to send this web application to the client in the form of web set up. The issue is that on the client side, user credentials for the database will be different. So can we do some setings that the web application whenever will run should ask for the server name, username & Password. If this can be done then the application can be run anywhere considering all compatibilities. Please let me know how this can be done. Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte
I have a stored procedure that moves specific data from several tables from a database on one server to several others (using a bunch of openrowset queries). I don't have an app to call this procedure - it's usually runs from the query analyzer and the parameter values for the procedure are passed in from there.
The procedure currently skips over recipient tables that are already populated with the data that's being moved. I want the ability to either skip the table or delete the existing records from the recpient table data based on the user's response. Therefore, I somehow need to prompt the user to get a response when the data already exists in the existing table.
Is there any way to prompt the user from a stored procedure, or do I have to re-develop the procedure in DTS or write and application?
In Access, I use [Enter Date] in the Criteria field of the Query. I tried the same thing in SQL Server in the Criteria field of the View and it does not recognize this. Is there a comparable command in SQL to get user input into the Criteria field of a view?
Basically I had 2 paramater which ComputerName and MemberName.
The membername was set as Multi-Value as sets as follow: Label: Value: Exclude Domain Admins Domain Admins Exclude Local Install Local Install
And the query is:
SELECT id, ComputerName, GroupName, MemberName, ScanDate FROM GROUPMEMBERS WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE ComputerCN LIKE '%' + @ComputerName + '%' AND MemberName NOT IN (@MemberName) ORDER BY ComputerName ASC
The prompt is like this: Computer Name [ ] Excluded by [ ]
The issue is in the second prompt I have to select "something" which is I don't want to. I want the user to have this parameter as an optional.
I have created a DLL and specific translation funtions for my reports. With these functions i can manipulate all text and numeric data in anyway i want depending on several user settings (like user language and user local browser settings).
The only textfields i'm not able to manipulate with my functions are the parameter prompts.
Is the a way to manipulate them through custom functions ?
A second question i have. When reports are deployed, they are deployed with there initial file name (file name.rdl). Is there also a way that i could manipulate the description when they reports are deployed ? example : when the user's browser is set to english he would see eg: Sales overview but when the browser language is set to french he would see eg: Résumé des ventes.
We have requirement where we need to run the SSRS report from Command Prompt. We are using Control + M, which is a scheduler runs only from DOS prompt.
Can anyone help us to know the procedure of doing this.
I would like to call the report from an external source: The report requires a paramater.
I tried the following: <a href='http://Report.aspx?ItemTakeOn%2fItemTakeOn&ProcessNo=278'> Report</a>"
The link works & i added the parameter in the link (ProcessNo=278) it opens the report but i still have to manually insert the Parameter. Also tried setting the parameter as hidden.
I've got a few questions regarding prompts on the Report builder
Can I change caption of the prompt? I intend to let the users know what kind of prompt that is, if the date they're choosing is a upper limit or a lower limit
How can I create a Between date prompt? I tried using the From..To but it disabled my option to tranform the Filter into a prompt, and from some reason it didn't let me execute report which had After and Before prompts on the same date field (tried it as some sort of work around)
I tried adding fields from a 3rd level table using the report builder, I.E, I drilled down to the 3rd connected table and I was unable to add fields ... any thoughts?
Hi all I hope someone can help me on this issue: I am designing dynamical reports, that are abel to run in four different languages - so far everything works just fine for me (I select my headers and labels from a database). Only problem is the prompt text for report parameters. How can I set this text dynamically?
E.g. I have a parameter where the user selects a storage - this prompt should be "Storage: " in the English report and "Lager: " in the Danish report. I have absolutely no idea how to fix this.
I have a question regarding how to use report prompts in SSRS reports that are based on SQL queries. When I added the prompt into the query for use as a filter value, it says that there is an error. It does not recognise the '!' inside the parameter prompt string. Example is parameter!month_prompt.Value, which the ! is not recognised.
In Report Builder, can you link prompt/filter fields to one another? For instance, I have Users and Groups and I want to dynamically fill the dropdown for Users based on the Group(s) chosen in the group prompt/filter. Or show the hierarchy as a expanding tree list for navigating the hierarchy to choose the user/groups to report on.
Another example would be product category & subcategory in adventure works.
And just to throw in a wrench, one of the areas I want to do this has 4 levels to the hierarchy.
does RS allow a report to be built such that after user runs it, hovering over a particular piece of info could display some variable piece of info similar to tooltips, intellisense etc?
How about a tip to the user if he/she hovers over a parameter prompt?
We are using Microsoft Reporting Service 2005 to develop reports and we are accessing these reports through a J2EE application. The front end is implemented using Tapestry and we using JBoss as our applicaiton server. We are using Shared Data Sources for the reports and we set its data source type to SQL Server Analysis Services. In the credential tab, by default "Use Windows authentication" is selected. All other options are disabled.
When I access my reportserver through my web application, I am always prompted for a windows login and password. How can I avoid being shown the windows login prompt, since our web application will be used by several users and we do not want the users to type in a username/password everytime they want to access our reports.
I am accessing my reports through one aspx page designed by me. in that i am using webservice to render the report and linking the url of the report to reportviewer
it is working fine but for the first time it is asking username & password of the reporting server to render the report. i am using Reporting Services 2000 plz help to avoid this user name & password prompt.
I have several reports for users to view on our Intranet. After installation of SQL 2005 SP2 patch, I cannot delete user or user's authority from Report in Properties Tab. An error message was shown on the status bar. It indicated that JavaScript Error: 'Return' statement outside of function. Seems something wrong with the 'Delete' funciton in SQL 2005 after update. The other functions worked fine. Could you point me out how to fix it or need to install any updates / hotfix. Thanks a lot!
Hello. I am trying to write a report that pulls information in from Active Directory. I have a view created that gets a listing of users and a view that creates a listing of user groups, but I can't seem to figure out how to get all user groups that are associated with the users. This is what I have.
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT * FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT cn, groupMembershipSAM FROM ''LDAP://wmdomain.local'' WHERE objectcategory=''group''') Rowset_1
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT title, displayName, sAMAccountName, givenName, telephoneNumber, facsimileTelephoneNumber, sn FROM ''LDAP://wmdomain.local'' WHERE objectCategory = ''Person'' AND objectClass = ''user''') Rowset_1
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.
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.
The Initilizer for 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Design.Constants' threw an exception
On Save the error is:
System.IO.StreamReader: Deserialization failed: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Design.Constants' threw an exception. Line 2, position 2
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.
My question is I want to be able to create a report specific to each individual user. More specifically I want to be able to create one report and once the user logs in with the appropriate credentials, I want the report to populate based on those credentials. Another important aspect is that each individual only sees their data. So once again I need to report to populate from the database based on the users logon credentails
hi, can anyone help me out with this report.I need to produce a report for the database level user permission.like for a database: DB_A, I want to output as such:[SELECT] [INSERT] [UPDATE] [DELETE] [CREATE TABLE] .... otherpublic G Dguest D D D D Ddbo G G G G Guser_A G D D D GG stands for Grant and D stands for Deny.I need not only to look at direct grant/deny but also whether that useris a member of fixed database role and fixed server role. like dbo willhave G on all.I am trying to look into sysprotects table and looking at lines with id= 0 but I just can't get to know what different action and protecttypenumbers means!Many thanks
I am trying to create a TSQL statement or stored procedure that cantell me what users belong to what group and what groups have access towhat files. Can anyone help? Can I pull out a list of names fromActive Directory to use as my user list?
I have Developer's Edition of SQL Server installed on my PC. I want my users to run and view my new RS report from their PCs across the network without installing SS on their machines.
We experimented a little bit by asking one user to use these URLs...http://mymachine/reports$myinstance and http://mymachine/reportserver$myinstance) after giving her browse rights in report manager from my PC.
When she uses the first URL, she gets a popup asking for sign in info, but gets nowhere when typing in her windows sign in info. When she uses the second, she gets thru to the report choices but gets an error like...
* An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
* Cannot create a connection to data source 'xxxxx'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
* For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
...after choosing my report. xxxxx is the name of the only datasource in the report.
Before we began, we also turned off 'enable anonymous access' and instead clicked 'integrated windows authentication' in IIS on my pc.
My user is on a different domain controller than I am. I asked a colleague who is on the same domain controller to try the URLs and he had no problems running my report from either. He wasnt given any explicit permissions/rights at either the reporting or db level.
Is it possible to set up a report so that there's a column where the user can insert data of their own, which then gets saved to the underlying database?
What I'm thinking of is the ability to have a drop-down box at the end of each row of data in the report, whereby the user can select an option to specify the action they have taken in response to the data. Is this possible, and if so, how exactly would I achieve this?
I'm trying to do something simple that has turned out to be a frustrating problem. I have a field in my report that needs to be populated by user input. Based on this user input, I will use the field in a calculation. The simple solution to me, was to create a custom assembly that has a function that uses Console.Write("Input Data") and Console.readline() to assign the input to a string, and then return that string to the report. This works fine in a test console application, but when I copy and paste the code to my custom assembly, it returns #Error to the report. I've debugged, and found that when I hit F10 on Console.Write("test"); it skips right over it, and nothing happens. It also skips over Console.readline(); with nothing happening. This makes me unable to take the user input and set the textbox equal to that value.
Am I doing this completely wrong? Is there something I'm missing, or just not understanding correcly? It seems like reporting services has to have this option. I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks!
I use forms authentication with my Report manager. The problem is that I can't display the same information to all the users into the report. For example, in my report, i have one dataset that give me a list of all the store of a compagny. And i have to display only the store onto the user is working. If the user is a boss, he can see the information of all the stores. So i have to know in my report what is the login he uses in the form authetication and i don't know how to do.
