Up to this point only two of use, both server administrators, have developed reports. Now we need to add two new report analysts to be able to develop reports in BIDS but limit their access to other server folders, etc. Our report source code is located at G:Visual Studio 2005 Source CodeProjects and all report folders, sln files, etc. are located under the Projects sub-folder. I have shared the Projects sub-folder and given read & execute / list folder contents / read / write / modify rights. They can see the report folders and sln files via BIDS or Explorer but get "access denied" when they attempt to execute one of them. Any thoughts on what I may be missing?
I'm actually developing a report with some dates on it. I want that when I run this report, a prompt (a window) appears requesting a date (or at least it could be good if a list appears and I can select one of them). Do you have any idea about how can I do that?.
I have found many references to this issue on the forum, but no solution that works in my case. I believe that I am lacking a fundamental understanding of a security issue so I will attempt to provide as much up front information as possible. I can publish SSRS reports from BIDS to my local computer but when I try and publish the same reports to a production server, I get a login dialog (which I cannot get passed). Here are the particulars. My environment is a home office. I have my computer (which works with the localhost designation) running on a workgroup network (not domain based). My server is another machine on the network (named €śserverone€?). Both machines are running Windows XP Professional. The BIDS project €śDebug€? property page has the TargetServerURL set to http://localhost/ReportServer. The €śProduction€? property page has the TargetServerURL set to http://serverone/ReportServer. I am logged on as an administrator but I cannot publish to the remote server (serverone) from my machine (localhost). I have also tried using the actual TCIP address of the server in place of the serverone name to no avail. I believe that my problem is related to authentication between the two SQL Server 2005 instances running on separate machines on a workgroup based network rather than a domain based network but I cannot find any information that might be useful under these circumstances. Now, here is my workaround (but this seems very wrong). From the logon dialog generated in BIDS, the user ID name was blank. When I attempted to remotely access the Report Manager on the server from my machine, IE tried to logon using the €śserverone/guest€? account. I added an administrator role to the guest account on the server and everything works as expected. As I mentioned before, this seems very wrong. Currently, both machines were set to use the €ślocal system€? account during setup, but I am not even sure what that means. I tried setting the server to use the €śNetwork Service€? account as suggested in one of the forum threads but that did not work. Any help here would be greatly appreciated as I am sure that allowing the €śGuest€? account to have €śAdministrator€? privileges is a bad idea.
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, and BIDS 2008 SP1. The problem I am about to define does NOT happen when the report is deployed to the report server, but only within the report development environment (BIDS).
From within BIDS my reports are fed by stored procedures. The problem is when I modify a stored procedure in Management Studio, and refresh the report from within BIDS, the report does not reflect the new changes made in the stored procedure. So far I have found one clumsy solution to this problem:
1) Go to the folder where the project is saved on the file system.
2)Find the ".data" file that is associated to the particular report, then delete it. For instance, if my report name is TestReport.rdl, find the file named TestReport.rdl.data, then delete it.
I have deployed some reports on the reporting server, i have noticed that every one in the domain in which the reports are published can access the reports, except one user. when he tries to access the report he got the following error message or the blank report.
"An error occured during report processing"
"can no read the next data row for the data set dataset1".
Although this user has all the roles on the reporiting server kike browser,content manager etc.
I run these stored procedure to build the report and I am able successfully to build the report but I need some prompts to in the report to get the specific data .
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sharepoint_Ticket_Report] @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate
[Code] ....
And for prompts how to create created_by and message_type dropdowns as shown in picture.
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.
I configured my packages to user package configurations, but when i try to debug a package in BIDS in get the following error in the execution results tab :
[Connection manager "XXXXXXXXXX"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'XXXXXXX'.".
Edit.
Now the degub works but after i deply the package to the sql server the package execution fails and the following is written into sql server errorlog
2008-03-17 15:56:31.71 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8. 2008-03-17 15:56:31.71 Logon Login failed for user 'XXXXXXX'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
The state 8 indicates bad password, but it isnt... because logging into sql server with that user and password works.

Hi Im using project real framework and have BIDS installed on same server as SQL Server 2005, when I run from BIDs all good when I run from SQL Server agent via File system --the first package that master package calls fails I have double checked the environment variables in Project Real and all good because otherwise BIDs would have failed and of course in each package the expression data uses @[User::RootDir] to point to the package file path @[User::RootDir] + \LoadGroup_Dimensions_Daily.dtsx
the issue is the package under SQL Agent is ignoring @[User::RootDir] + \ and finding an old package path somewhere in Bids SLN metadata
Any clues how can refresh the metadata of the package for deployment
I would like to know if there is a way to find out who changed a users roles/access WITHOUT using the audit function. For example, if a user account was created and given SA access then changed to read only, how can I find out who made that change? I tried searching for an answer, but kept getting no results. I'm thinking this may tie into the sys.sysusers view?
I would like the Backup SQL user A can backup and restore DATABASE_a, what access right I need to grant to him. Although he can backup the database_a to the c:Program Files.....Database_a.BAK but he cannot restore it with some message said ''not enough security privieges..
Please quote some example right assigment so that I can replicate to our environment
I've been developing desktop client-server and web apps and have used Access and SQL Server Standard most of the time. I'm looking into using SQL CE, and had a few questions that I can't seem to get a clear picture on:
- The documentation for CE says that it supports 256 simultaneous connections and offers the Isolation levels, Transactions, Locking, etc with a 4GB DB. But most people say that CE is strictly a single-user DB and should not be used as a DB Server. Could CE be extended for use as a multi-user DB Server by creating a custom server such as a .NET Remoting Server hosted through a Windows Service (or any other custom host) on a machine whereby the CE DB would run in-process with this server on the machine which would then be accessed by multiple users from multiple machines?? Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
- and further more can we use Enterprise Services (Serviced Components) to connect to SQL CE and further extend this model to offer a pure high-quality DB Server? Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> Enterprise Services -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
Seems quite doable to me, but I may be wrong..please let me know either ways
Is there any way to get more information for when IAuthorizationExtension::CheckAccess fails to grant access to a report item for the current user? Specifically, it would be useful to know:
1. URL of attempted report 2. IP address of user agent 3. Identity of current user 4. Date/Time of the failed attempt
Hello Everyone, I am trying to personalze my reports for each user, for example: Say I have a report which takes in userName as a parameter and then generates the report. Is it possible to use the same userName that the user used to login to the reporting services enviornment. This way the user don't have to enter their userName to see the report, it will be entered by default.
Don't know if anyone has done this before -and I would really be wondered if not-: I want to show a list of available reports to a user. Since we are working with SharePoint Portal Server 2003 the webparts can't be used (need MOSS 2007 or WSS 3.0), but I really need to be able to build a dynamically generated list and show it on a sharepoint page.
My first idea is to build a report (kind of menu). I am already this far:
to get a list of reports with the active directory groups and their mapped roles: select u.UserName, c.Path, r.RoleName
from PolicyUserRole pur
left join Users u on pur.userID=u.userID
left join Roles r on pur.roleID=r.roleID
left join Catalog c on pur.policyID=c.policyID
order by u.UserName, c.Path, r.RoleName
I managed to link active directory via LDAP - linked server. I even managed to get a list of users and groups. Unfortunately I cannot check whether a user belongs to a group (any idea?), since all of our security (on sql server) is managed by active directory groups this really is a problem.
Or am I completely wrong and is there another way to fetch a list of reports for a user?
Hi, i have a prob;lem while using report manager.when i login As "administrator" to the report manager i can see all the folders and i can check also reports. when i create new users with some role and i login as new user i can see the specified folder and report but when i click to see the report this message appear: " Your browser does not support scripts or has been configured not to allow scripts". Note that these same reports i can check them when i login as administrator
i am using sql server 2005
please it's important to resolve this problem as soos as possible thx labiba
My PC is in the domain group of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service, so I can publish the reports. After the reports were published, I can viw the reports from ASP.NET application on the web server, but everyone else was prompted for login. Only my login can view the reports. What can I do to let others to open the reports with the same web application? Thanks.
I'm using SSR5 2005. I have a set of Cubes. Any idea as how to created customized reports using SSRS. The end user should be able to create reports by himself. Please help or send me some links where I can get help in this regard.
I'm new to SQL Reporting Services and I've been asked to create an online environment for a client where their customers can log on and view a report. The client wants to make sure that each customer can only see data that is relevant to them, and that other customer's information is hidden from whoever is logged on.
Can this be done through a username/password setup or is the solution more complex?
I have some reports running CRM data. It's basically a sales dashboard that shows each user their pipeline values. Since each user has rights to see more than just the opportunities they own, I had a filter on the report in the SQL WHERE clause. It said
WHERE @UserID = systemuser.DomainName.
The @UserID parameter's value was
=User!UserID, which brought back the logged-in user's domain name, which matched the field in my WHERE clause.
Now, in CRM 4.0, to eliminate the need for a VPN to access reports, everyone who accesses a report is logged in as NT Authority Network Service. Does anyone know if there's still a way to access the person's domain identity?

We are building a VB application that has a SQL Server backend. What is the best way to get MS Access or MS Excel reports from SQL Server? Are there any good resources (books, etc) that would explain this?
how can i import reports from Access. I tried from regular tool but when i try to view the report's query and it does not work!! how can i get it to work.
Hi All, I have a project that is already in MS Access that has many reports and I must develop the same project in .NET with SSRS for the reports. By seeing the same scenario in these forums I imported by right clicking on the project name, all the reports from Access have been imported.. My question is, that will the imported reports from MS ACCESS will be the same as that of the reports we will generate in SSRS? and can I use them as final reports. And call these reports in my .Net code..Is there any article regarding this please provide so that I can read and learn how to use that.. And for each .rdl files the data set si coming as dataset1...can we change the dataset name?..Please repond..ASAP.
This is a pretty simple query that tracks 'yesterdays' apply clicks on our website.
SELECT MIN(A.hitDate) AS minDate, D.AffiliateName, B.ProdType, COUNT(DISTINCT A.ipAddress) AS TOTAL FROM ArchiveApplyTracking A LEFT OUTER JOIN Configuration.dbo.Affiliates D ON A.affiliateID = D.AffiliateID LEFT OUTER JOIN Incoming C ON A.campaignID = C.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN Configuration.dbo.ProductType B ON A.productTypeID = B.ProdNo WHERE (A.hitDate >= DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE() - 1), 0)) AND (A.hitDate < DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 0)) AND (A.deal = 1) AND (A.ipAddress NOT IN (SELECT ipAddress FROM [Tracking].[dbo].ipTracking)) AND (B.ProdType NOT LIKE 'refused%') AND (D.AffiliateName LIKE 'ARROW%') AND (B.ProdType NOT LIKE '%prequalify%') GROUP BY D.AffiliateName, B.ProdType ORDER BY D.AffiliateName
No problem there, that's fine.
But how can i put a simple date range interface on my published report so users can say "get me the stats from 04/09/2005 to 20/09/2005, which then runs the query?
Ideally, I'd like to have the reports use windows authentication, ie grab current user/password so long as user does not have to enter it manually. If that is not possible, then how do I make it so user does not have to enter this info manually? My theory is that I have IIS set up incorrectly for doing this, but I'm not familiar enough with either reporting services or IIS to find out.
I'm a beginner to Report Services, and have tons of questions.
Here's the first one:
if the reports are created based on the condition that the user selects, how can I create the reports with Report Services?
For example,
the user can select the fields that will be shown on the reports, as well as the group fields, the sort fields and restrict fields. So I would not be able to pre-create all possible reports and deploy them to the report server, and I think I should create the reports dynamicly based on what the user select.
Could someone tell me how to do it (create and deploy the reports)?
I installed ReportServer with success I think, and I'm able to deploy my Report Model in BIDS (it says "success")..
But now, when I try to go to http://localhost/ReportServer, I get the error below: The permissions granted to user 'EVO610IUSR_EVO610' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) Get Online Help
I really tried everything; I granted full permissions to the folder below for IUSR_EV0610, but it still says the same error. C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer
Is this not the correct solution? Any other things that I don't know?
I have some sensitive and non-sensitive info/fields in one of my reports. Is there a way to hide/show the info based on the logged in user? or do I have to create separte reports for each type of info like one for sensitive and another one for non-sensitive info.
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 need to create a Crystal Report based on a SQL Server database. However, life is never that easy…
The report needs data to be taken from the database, manipulated and reported upon. Doing this manipulation within CR will make the report take far too long to produce so I thought I would create a temporary table within SQL Server and manipulate that.
Cannot get Create Table permission!
Plan B is to use VB / ADO to extract the data (about 1 million rows) from SQL Server and write it to a local Access database that I can manipulate as much as I want. Crystal Reports can then report on the Access data.
Questions: •Is this the best way to go? •I know how to use ADO to connect to n Access database but how do I connect to a SQL Server database? •I think I will need to write a single Select to build the SQL Server recordset but will I need to write each row individually, using a Do Unitl loop, to get the data into the Access recordset?
