Using SSRS 2005 With AS 2000 Cubes As A Data Source

Oct 25, 2007

Hi,

I'm am writing a report in SSRS 2005 on a local PC that uses cubes in AS 2000 on another server as a datasource. I am using the Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Extension (OLAP9) to connect to the cubes using windows authentication. I can save and preview the report in visual studio and publish the reports on IIS on my local PC with no problems but when I go to view the report in IE, I get the following error:


An error has occurred during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'dataset'.
Unable to recognize the requested property ID 'ReturnCellProperties'.



Have read various articles on the net with no conclusive explanation.



I have seen another post on this forum that suggests using OLEDB for Analysis Services instead but if I do this it doesn't allow me to use the MDX visual query designer. Creating the report using OLAP9 then changing to OLEDB and pasting in the query code doesn't work so well either.













I went and read http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159219.aspx about data sources supported by SSRS 2005 and it should be ok.













I am using sql server 2005 with the latest service pack 2.






Any ideas?

SQL Server 2000 As Data Source For SSRS 2005 Express

Feb 20, 2008

Hi,

We are in the process of upgrading a SQL Server 2000 database to 2005. For the mean time, we're trying it out on SQL Server Express 2005. My question is, can reports in SSRS 2005 pull data from SQL Server 2000 in case both are installed side by side in the same machine and the 2000 version is the default instance while the 2005 express edition is the named instance?

Thanks a lot!

SSRS 2005 And XML Document As Data Source

Dec 12, 2006

I'm new to SSRS 2005, and having a very hard time getting something I thought would be trivial to work. It would appear that if you want to report from XML data, there are a variety of ways to do so.

I would just like to use a simple document that was created by serializing to disk. I don't even have a fancy query. Can someone help me with an start-to-end from which I can build upon and add complexity? Thanks.

C:XmlDataCustomers.xml contains a single Customers table; 3 Customer rows with an ID, FirstName, LastName. (I'll try pasting it as a follow-up).

My DataSource type is 'XML' and the ConnectionString is the simplest of URLs "C:XmlDataCustomers.xml". Credentials are set to 'none'. My suspision is that I am not even succeding at creating a valid DataSource. I don't know if it has to do with the XML, the location of the file, the syntax of the ConnectionString or what.

Assuming I get this right, I want all rows and all columns, so I assumed an empty query on the DataSet would be appropriate.

I've found a bunch of examples - but none seam to be this trivial - they all involve using a web service, embedded data in the query, or creating a Customer Data Extension (CDE) to provide the document. I've tried converting these samples to use my DataSource, but so far no luck.

Your assistance is appreciated.

Cannot Create A Connection To Data Source !!!! SSRS 2005

Mar 8, 2006

I cannot get this error resolve either for myself or any users, and I'm actually part of the Admin group! Furthermore, a user with whom I'm tring allow to view this report keeps getting prompted for their windows username and password. I thought that since this datasource was set to Windows Authentification that it would just pass it through?

I'm pulling my hair out at this point:

Also As far as I know, I've given sufficient permissions to the right logins and right users on my SQL Databases and related stored procs that the datasets (not datasource) run











An error has occurred during report processing.

Cannot create a connection to data source 'datasourcename'.

SSRS 2005 Report Stopped Returning AS 2000 Data

May 2, 2008

Hello:

Here is the scenario: I have a report in SSRS 2005 that uses an OLE DB connection to send a MDX query to an AS 2000 cube. The report has been working fine for weeks. When the report ran today, it returned the row and column metadata, but not the cell values.

I ran the MDX query separately in the SSRS query editor pane, and it returns all values properly. I was also able to perform the query using ProClarity, so it appears that the issue is between the result set and SSRS.

What would cause this to happen?

Thanks for your help!

SQL 2012 :: SSRS Data Shared Data Source Connection Login

Jan 12, 2015

Was wondering if there was a best practice minimum permissions for creating a SQL login to use when setting up a new shared Data source for SSRS report manager?

Something along the lines of them being a data read for the DB and permissions to update tempdb?

Would have thought it not advisable to have the login be able to update the main db...

Copying Table Data From SQL Server 2005 To SQL Server 2000 - Very Slow When Using OLEDB Source And Destination Sources?

May 8, 2006

An SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.

On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.

Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?

Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

MShah

Using Cubes With Translations From SSRS

Sep 27, 2007


Hello Everyone,

I have defined a cube with translations on every dimension and measure group.

when I query this cube from BIDS, the captions of each column have text in the right language (whatever is chosen in BIDS at the time of query)

Now, my customers will be sending queries from SSRS. when i fire the MDX query from SSRS I want to extract the MEMBER_CAPTION dimension property (I think this will contain the translated text for each columns header)

My question is how can I extract this from SSRS?

regards,
Abhishek.

XML Data Source Within An SSRS Sub-report

Aug 28, 2007


This is a question regarding the use of an XML data source within an SSRS sub-report. This is a two server configuration consisting of SSRS 2K5 and a separate file server exposing xml files over http, IIS 5.

Is it possible, and if yes how, to configure the xml data source to use the application pool identity instead of the current caller identity? I can not turn off impersonation within SSRS. I need to revert to use the W3WC, app pool, process identity within the xml data source. I do not want to configure Kerberos delegation and the file server€™s IIS virtual directory must be set for windows security.

Best SSRS Data Source: SQL Or SSAS?

Jul 6, 2007

I have a vision of a beautifully interlocked Business Intelligence system in which I load dimensional fact tables through SSIS, build aggregations in SSAS cubes, and quickly and easily generate SSRS reports using the cubes as data marts.



I am now a month into trying to implement this vision and Reality is stomping all over it. Primarily, I am running into issues with the "cube as a data mart" idea. Each cube is taking up an additional gig or two of space, report queries against them seem to take longer than a straight SQL query against my fact tables, and I am running into serious problems trying to pass time-related calculations such as Year-To-Date to my reports.



Has anyone else tried setting up a BI system that uses cubes as the primary drivers for their reports? Have you seen any benefits to doing it that way? Or should I generate most of my reports through the SQL tables?



I'm nearing the point-of-no-return in choosing my final methodology, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks!

Problem Using Oracle Data Source From SSRS

Sep 3, 2007

Hi,
I'm new to SSRS but have a problem connecting to Oracle. I have placed my reports upon a reporting server but the shared data connection isn't working and I'm confused as to why. I have specified the name, connection type as "Oracle", set the correct user id and password for the credentials and the connection string as for example 'Data Source=oracleExample;Unicode="True"'. I also have set the correct entry in the tnsnames.ora file for this datasource, example:
"oracleExample =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 12.23.45.23)(PORT = 3425))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = oracle)
)
)"
Unfortunately I receive the following error when trying to connect.
"
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'oracleDataSource'.
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
"
I'm mystified as to what the issue is. Any ideas? Would restarting the report server pick up the tnsnames.ora file? I have this working locally using report designer.
Any help, much appreciated.

Setting SSRS Data Source Via Script

Sep 6, 2007

Is there a command that can be used to set the account and password of an SSRS data source? I want to use a datasource that uses the option "(windows) credentials stored securely in the report server". The password for the account to be used can not be known by any humans (or we have to kill them after) so we want to set it programmatically. Is this possible via a command?

Using SSRS With An ODBC Data Source (Oracle RDB)

Feb 12, 2008

I'm attempting to use SSRS (2005) with my Oracle RDB database (old DEC RDB), using an ODBC driver. I am able to create a report, and view data, but I need to add some report parameters to filter the data. When I attempt to use parameters in the query, I either get a syntax error, or a message that my odbc connection cannot use "named" parameters, and that I should use "unnamed" parameters.

Here is a snippet of my sql query:

SELECT Application_Notes.Lease_Application, Application_Notes.Followup_Code,

<...>
FROM
Application_Notes Join

<...>
WHERE
(Application_Notes.Tickler_date >= {ts '2008-02-08 00:00:00'} AND

Application_Notes.Tickler_Date < {ts '2008-02-09 00:00:00'} )


The "Tickler_Date" field is a binary date field. The above syntax is pulled from a Crystal Report, which I am considering moving over to SSRS. Ideally, I would like the user to enter a single RunDate parameter, and have the query do the following:

Where (Application_Notes.Tickler_Date >= @RunDate and
Application_Notes.Tickler_Date < (@RunDate + 1 day) )


If the user has to enter two dates, that will be fine, but I can't seem to get past the errors.


Thanks,


Paul

Reporting Services :: Excel As Data Source In SSRS

May 19, 2015

I want to run SSRS report directly by connecting Excel as a data source. The report runs properly from SSDT, but when it is run from Report manager, some users cannot access the Excel connection and the report execution fails. I am using SSRS 2012 and Excel 2010.I have created the ODBC data connection in SSRS and when I use 'Windows Integrated Security' option for credentials, the connection gets successful. But the problem is that all users does not have permissions to access the Excel inline, but they should get the report working.How can I store the credentials to access the Excel in SSRS with a specific username and password?

SSRS Calling SSIS Package As A Data Source

Feb 12, 2008

Hi All,

It's been a while since I post here. Anyway, I'm trying to call a SSIS package as my data source for SQL reporting service but I keep getting the error "Cannot create a connection to data source 'DsSSIS'.

My DsSSIS consists of the following in the connection string.

="/file c:FarmBillTesting.dtsx /Set Package.Variables[User::FilterValue].Properties[Value];" & Parameters!FilterValue.Value.ToString()


I have tried everything that I know to make this work but I have been able to do so. Any help from the group would be great.

Reporting Services :: Passing Parameters To SSRS That Is Using Web Service As Data Source

Jul 16, 2009

I am building a webapp that calls an SSRS instance to display a report based on another servers web service.I can make a call from the ssrs server using this in the RDL:

<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://machine/webservices" Name="HelloUser">
                <Parameters>
                                <Parameter Name="user">
                                <DefaultValue>Craig</DefaultValue>
                                </Parameter>
                </Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
</Query>

This works no problem.  but.. I want to have the user parameter "Craig" be a parameter passed in from the web app.  If it were a regular SQL data source you would put @user in the query.  How do you do it with XML text queries?

Upgrading Source Database From 2000 To 2005

Apr 17, 2007

I have one 32-bit SQL 2000 server that is our enterprise-wide reporting server (we'll call it RS) and another 32-bit SQL 2000 server that serves as a stored proc data source for certain reports on that server (we'll call it DS). I am about to go through an upgrade/migration of DS to 64-bit SQL 2005 and was wondering if:

it is possible to just change the data source location on RS and point the old reports against the new DS server?
there are any necessary steps to take within RS to make the data source (DS reference on RS) compatible with the destination (report on RS)?
it is possible/easy to bulk-migrate all the RDL's for a particular data source from RS to DS?

Does anyone know any of the answers to these questions?

Thanks in advance!

OLAP 2000 - Cubes - Filters

Sep 14, 2000

Does anyone know the best way to set up filters against the Cube data.
Ex. The Cube was built with data for 1998,1999, 2000.
The totals and the rollups will include the value for all years.
Client A want to access the Cube Data through Excel 2000 but only wants to see the values for 1999 - with the correct totals and rollups...

I know you can uncheck the other years in the filters in excel, but the totals and rollups will still include the values summing for all years.

Is there away to pass in a query on the fly?

0x80040E37 Table Does Not Exist At The Source - Transferring 2000 To 2005

Nov 28, 2007



Hi All, I've got a problem transferring objects between SQL Databases.
The source database is an SQL 2000 dbase, and the destination is a local SQL2005 instance. When trying to transfer I get the error:
0x80040E37 (table) does not exist at the source - but it does.

I am guessing its a schema related issue, I've tried setting the copyschema setting to true, but no joy.
The copyallschemas function doesn't work with an SQL 2000 box so its set to false.

Thanks,
