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!
Lets say for example I have a table named Drier_Lot_Recipients with columns grower_id int, crop_year int, and email_address varchar(100). This table contains users that would like to receive an SSRS report I created on daily basis.
I created the SSRS report and it is deployed on a reporting services server. The name of the report is Drier_Lot_Report.rdl.
I am not sure what would be the best way to go about this. Should I do it all in SSIS or a stored procedure in SQL Server?OR maybe a combination of both.
Do I need to have calls made to the RS.EXE utility? Do I need to setup database mail in SQL Server?We have two SMTP servers.
So the end solution must call the Drier_Lot_Report and pass in two parameters (Grower_id and Crop_Year). The output must be PDF and either have the grower_id included in the output filename OR generic filename
I'm developing a Destination Component. I need to create the input columns in my ReinitializeMetadata() method. This is a small code sample of the method:
This piece of code works fine, but now i want to use a UI Type DataFlowDestinationUI with a Destination mapping page added by base.AddDestinationMappingsPageToForm( form, "" );.
When I open the mapping page - ReinitializeMetadata() is called BEFORE opening this page - this error is shown:
Code Snippet =================================== Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0047041 (Microsoft Visual Studio) ------------------------------ Program Location: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.IDTSVirtualInputColumn90.get_UsageType() at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.DataFlowUI.DataFlowDestinationUI.mappingPage_MapColumns(Object sender, MapColumnsEventArgs args)
I think it's because the mapping page calls GetVirtualInput() itself. Do you know a solution for this problem?
I'm using Cube.My DimDate tables Datekey is integer .But client wants a calendar to set date as you see in picture .how can I change calendar value which will be input by user.

HOW CAN I USE Case statement to calculate days for given start date and end date. I have to include all three totals, 1 for Job dates, 2, subjobs dates, 3 cal of days for a requested period.
HelloFor my client, I need to generate reports from the information storedin the database. The client has fixed format forms (on paper e.g. USCustoms forms etc).Will I need to redesign the forms in the application and then show theinformation?Another approach is to scan the forms as image and print theinformation on top of that image, so when it is printed , theinformation will be displayed at the right places.Is there any other way? How is the reporting done if the forms arepre-defined and the information is stored in a databaseThanks for your input
Hello all, Say I have a report that is running for a long time and I want to cancel it. Is there a way to cancel the report generation once we submit the Report Generation Button? If I close my Browser, Am I closing my session in the server side? If server is still churning out the old report and I open another browser to request the same report, I might easily crash the server if the requests for the same report keep growing?
Is there any way to change the image "Report is being generated" to something else or at least change the location of it. I have a report that is very long and our users have to scroll down to see that. They think the report is frozen when in all reality it is still generating. It is postioning in the center of the page and I want it to position at the top.
I have developed several reports with selectable parameters. When the report is first requested three stored procedures are triggered and return the parameters (+2 min), following parameters being returned the default report is returned (+3 min), this time is unacceptable. Is there anything I can do to speed up the report generation? Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Hi, We need to generate the reports in a file share location and notify the Users about the location. Since the subscriptions support either File share or Email notification, we have configured file share mode in our subscriptions. We tried writing a custom C# component to send emails to the Users but getting the status of reports generation is difficult. Is there a way to notify the users after generating the reports in a file share? Subash
I have created a database table in MSSQL 2000 like this
[empcode] [leave_date] [type] [reason] 100 2008-12-29 00:00:00.000 T Tour 100 2008-12-30 00:00:00.000 T Tour 101 2008-12-31 00:00:00.000 CL Casual Leave 102 2009-01-01 00:00:00.000 R Restricted holiday 100 2009-01-02 00:00:00.000 T Tour

Just by using SQL Server 2000, what's the best way to run a stored procedure outputing the results to an excel sheet? I don't have Crystal Reports or any other 3rd party reporting tool to help me, a restriction of our client.
Found this http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid87_gci1057989,00.html sp_write2Excel. Would this be the best way? Any other methods? The SQL server does not have MS Office so I think I need to ouput to a csv file.
I'm attempting to generate a model for our manufacturing database in Report Server. I can create the Data Source, but when I attempt to generate the model, I get several errors in the following format ...
More than one item in the Entity 'CUST ADDRESS' has the name 'COUNTRY'. Item names must be unique among immediate siblings. (DuplicateItemName) Get Online Help
More than one Field in the Entity 'CUST ADDRESS' has the name 'COUNTRY'. Field names must be unique within an Entity. (DuplicateFieldName) Get Online Help
There are several pairs of similar error messages (DuplicateItemName and DuplicateFieldName) listed.
The tables (i.e. CUST_ADDRESS) do contain the column name (i.e. COUNTRY) but are otherwise unremarkable.
Clicking the "Get Online Help" link leads to a page with an apology and no useful information.
The database is at Compatibility Level 80, but I am able to generate models for other databases at that level. I've run DBCC CHECKDB against the database and it returns without errors.
This is on SQL Server 2005, Standard Edition x64 with SP2.
I'm at a loss for what to do next, there doesn't seem to be any documentation for this error available.
After some additional research, I've discovered that in the problem entities, i.e. "CUST ADDRESS", there is a column named "COUNTRY" and a separate column named "COUNTRY_ID". I tried renaming the COUNTRY_ID column in a test copy of the database and was then able to generate the data model in Reporting Services. The problem appears to be that the model generator is unable to differentiate between a column name "COUNTRY" with one named "COUNTRY_ID".
However, I cannot do this to my production database. Is there any fixes or workarounds in Reporting Services to handle this type of situation?
Because of the way in which a specific piece of code is written, I'm bound into using a WHERE clause for a report generation.Each Inspection generates a unique Inspection Number. Any re-inspection created from that inspection is assigned that Inspection Number and appended with ".A", ".B", ".C" and so on.
The problem is this: Each row's Primary Key is the "InspectionId" in "dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports". I need to return not only the data related to that particular InspectionId, but also the data related to any previous related inspection. For example, if I have a main number of CCS-2012 and three re-inspections, CCS-2012.A, CCS-2012.B and CCS-2012.C, and I report on CCS-2012.B, I need all the data for CCS-2012, CCS-2012.A and CCS-2012.B but NOT CCS-2012.C.
I would prefer to not have to do everything in a WHERE statement, but my hands are a bit tied.
The "SELECT * FROM dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports WHERE . . ." is already hardcoded (don't ask). SELECT * FROM dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports WHERE ( RefOnly = 0 OR RefOnly IS NULL
I have a problem while rendering a report which returns around 5000 rows. At first the server is busy to process the request, when the server is done the rendering client side takes 100% of CPU and never displays the result ("IE is not responding"). It seems that the ReportViewer has trouble to handle the server response.
When we generate a report with an account that is in the admin group it takes 2-3 seconds but when we do it with another user it takes over 2 minutes... any reason for this? (The "Report is being generated" thing, by the way)
Not sure if my question is clear, I've been looking and searching for the past 2 hours but can't find anything remotly close to that problem... any help would be appreaciated!
I have an issue in generating the report in sql reporting services. I need to display a report in a table format. The datas of the table should be from two different sql tables. I have tried to write a stored procedure that returns two result sets from two different tables. As reporting services takes datas only from the first result set, i tried to write two different stored procedures each displays one result set. Then i have created two datasets with that two different stored procedure. Even then i cannot proceed as i was not able to use two different dataset in a single table because i was setting the datasetname to one dataset, when i try to retrieve the fields from another dataset i was able to retrieve only first and count values. Then i tried using sub reports. As sub reports for a dataregion(table) repeats for every row of the main report i was not able to fetch the correct datas. Atlast i have tried combining the query using join and wrote a single stored procedure. This stored procedure returns a single result set retrieves data from two tables satisfying the conditions. The issue i am facing with this is, the first table has only one row satisfying the condition and the second table has three rows satisfying the same condition, as i am using join query for the three rows returned by the second table the first table datas are getting duplicated for the rest of the rows in the second table. As I found using join query is the only resolution for the output which I need, and also I have to avoid the duplication of the records. Hence let me know for any solutions.
I have shown the sample datas that is duplicating which is indicated as bold. Phonenumber, Attemptdate and calloutcome are from first table and start time and endtime is from second table. As there are three different datas for the second table, first table datas are duplicated
I have found that in the autogenerated model attributes are missing for those fields that have relations to other tables. At first, it may look reasonable since a user can still get down to the field's value through the relation/related table. However, if the relation's key fields is the only thing the user wants to display, then going down to the related table is an overkill.
I can add an attribute manually and bind it to the key field(s). Is there an option in the autogeneration process to do it automatically? The only post I've found so far suggests to do everything manually (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1152575&SiteID=1). Is this the only way?
Is it possible to allow user input via a Reporting Services Report? What I mean is could a report be created that would allow someone using the report to enter a number that would be written to the SQL database?
Hi, Just wondering if I could make sure that "hackers" don't tamper with my querystring - which is a parameter for a SQL query. i.e... Dim ListOfValues as string = request.querystring("listOfValues")
'Output would be this: 324234,5445,554654,45632,SQL command : Delete From table where product_id IN (@ListOfValues)
How can I validate it so that hackers can't add any characters other than 'numbers' and ' , ' to the sql parameter? I have tried to tryparse the 'ListOfValues ' as an integer - by replacing "," with "" but an integer overflow occured. Any questions or ideas? Thanks
I am new to ASP.NET so pordon me if my questions seems to be stupid.
I was given an assign to develop a ASP that would return results from a SQL server.
The problem is that part of my query to the SQL server comes from the webform
select a.invnum, a.invdate, a.duedate, a.invamt,a.payamt from vpshead a inner join vendors b on (a.vendnum = b.vendnum) where (a.vendnum = " & user.text & " ) and (b.vendpass = " & Pass.text & " ) and (a.payflag <> 'V') and ( (a.invamt <> 0) or (a.payamt <> 0) )and (a.chkno = '') order by a.invdate"
As your can tell I am using the user.text and Pass.text in my query which will come from the web form.
well here's a problem that I encountered, i got a textbox that is used to store the Date of Birth of a user. So when user keys in something, it is store as a string. However i wish to convert it into a datetime so that i can store it into my database. Anybody know of a way to help? i've tried countless methods but doesn't seem to work. Please give me a hand guys.... Thanks
Hello. I'm using SQL query analyzer to run some queries against anSQL2000 DB. Unfortunately, my previous SQL experience is some OralceSQL I took in school.To put it simply, I'm trying to write a query to pull records thatmatch a variable input. In Oracle, I'd use a substitution variablelike this...SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE jobid = &job_id_to_query;Is this possible under SQL2000? Is this only a feature of SQL*Plus?TIARich
I want to pull dates from my database that are between to set dates i have written a query that does this which looks like this: "SELECT OCH_ID, empno, Selected_OCD, Start_Time, End_Time, Selected_OCDay, Selected_DOM, Selected_Month, Selected_Year FROM dbo.ICT_On_Call_Hours WHERE (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) >= CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('12/02/2007', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('12/02/2007', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('12/02/2007', 4))) AND (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) < CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('14/02/2007', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('14/02/2007', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('14/02/2007', 4)))" This works when the dates are included in the statement but when i try and use parameters to pull them in like this: "SELECT OCH_ID, empno, Selected_OCD, Start_Time, End_Time, Selected_OCDay, Selected_DOM, Selected_Month, Selected_Year FROM dbo.ICT_On_Call_Hours WHERE (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) >= CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('@Choice1', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('@Choice1', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('@Choice1', 4))) AND (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) < CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('@Choice2', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('@Choice2', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('@Choice2', 4)))" I then recieve the following error message why is this? ERROR -------------------> Syntax error converting datetime from character string. Any Help would be greatly appreciated thanks
I have a search page that allows users to type/select values contined within the entry they're looking for. My SELECT statement returns columns in a table that get compared to the user input. So if someone selected Status (Open) then all of the 'Open' Request entries should populate the search page. How do I phrase the SELECT statement to compare values if the user gives them, but ignore the fields where no data was input when it's searching? So a search where no values were entered would return every Request Entry instead of an error; no entry. Thanks!
Hi folks, i am lookin for an option in the QA to take user input while executing a query. just like we do in SQLPLUS: SELECT * FROM dept WHERE deptno=$abc here it would ask me for the deptno. I guess it's a very handy feature and we could test our variables and calculations withing the procedures etc.
