What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) .... Doesn't Work With SQL Reporting Services
Jan 18, 2007
I did the following steps:
1. Created a report using SQL Reporting Services. (OK)
2. Deployed the project (ABC) into the ServerX. (OK)
3. Opened the SQL Reporting Services using the Report Manager on localhost of the ServerX. (OK)
4. Opened the ABC folder. Files deployed. (OK)
5. Created two subscriptions. One (Service1) for printing to the Printer. One (Service2) for saving into a file. (OK)
6. Opened the Service1. In the View Tab, after entering the Report Parameters, clicked on "View Report". (OK)
7. I expected view to show what I viewed in the Project (ABC). (NOK - It printed a wrong format. Alignment was completely different)
8. Tried to export to a TIFF file expecting to see the same view as I saw in the Project (ABC). (NOK - It printed a wrong format. Alignment was completely different)
9. Tried to export to a PDF file expecting to see the same view as I saw in the Project (ABC). (NOK - It printed a wrong format. Alignment was completely different)
10. In the subscriptions, I ran the Service1 to print the report from the SQL Reporting Services directly onto the Printer. (NOK - It printed a wrong format. Alignment was completely different)
Is this an expected issue with SQL Reporting Services which incase doesnt make any sense to use it. Or it is an issue with my code. All I assumed that I should expect from SQL Reporting Services is: if I create a Report and I preview the Report, I should get a WYSIWYG formats.
Half the way through our project, we are completely stuck up. SOS!!!

I have a problem. I do a basic report with just one simple table: _id _name _comment _file
I'm able to get all informations into a table. But for the file, I created a URL Link for this file. But when the reporting is generating in html, if I click on the file's link, nothing happens. But I can dowload the file with a right click. And if I see proprieties of the link, the link is rights, and it's works good if I copy and paste it on the IE url bar.
So for summary, my problem is : nothing happens if I click on the file, but a want a window's opening with the choose "Open with" or "Save on the disk".
I installed Reporting Services 2014 on Windows 7. When i am trying to start home page i can see only HTML page and the text: "localhost/reports - /",then double lines (<hr><hr>) and text "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 12.0.4100.1"Maybe the windows user (SERVER_NAMEADMINISTRATOR) has not sufficient permissions ?
i would like to show all Labels available in a Chart and rotate the Labels 90°. How can i do that ? I changed the Propertie "Interval" to 1, "LabelsAngle" to 90, "LabelsAutoFitDisabled" to true in my Chart Axis.
I have a parameter that chooses its available items from a query (with a label and a value column). I set the default for the parameter to the a particular value.
It works in Preview from design mode, but when I deploy it and run the report, it does not set the default.
the Dataset in my report doesn't update the fields' values from the database. I refresh the dataset manualy in the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio to see the new values in the report.
Just upgraded to Windows 10. My SSRS reports, SharePoint 2013 integrated, still work but have no scroll bars. I can use the touchscreen to scroll left and right. Mouse wheel or any other attempts to scroll the report view don't work.
I'm building a web app in c# that will consume sql rdl reports. These reports are hosted at MaxmimumASP and the physical location requires us to login with our one and only network account or to at least impersonate the authorized account in code. (Note that this all stored under SSL on a server different than our web app).
This is easy enough using the provided ReportService. However, we desire the functionality in ReportViewer that gives the toolbar and multiple export options.
So some serious work-arounds are in order.
Using ReportService, I can easily impersonate our MaximumASP account with:
ReportingService service = new ReportingService(); service.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(user, pword, domain);
Using the ReportService leaves us with a stream of binary information. Under this set of conditions, direct rendering to PDF doesn't seem to work (or at least I can't get it to.).
Another problem is that embedded images either do not show up, require another challenge/response even though we did this in our cs page, or require us to stream them to the app's directory (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rsprog/htm/rsp_ref_soapapi_service_lz_49f6.asp?frame=true)
The big question. Does anybody have a way to get ReportServices stream to display in ReportViewer without using temporary files?
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW WHERE LOCATION = @Location AND SOURCE = @Source AND (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate) ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
So the user can enter a value for Location and Source and select the date range.BUT I also want the user to be able to put in nothing for the Location and Source so the query would return everything for that date range.
So if they did this the query would be
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW WHERE (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate) ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
I have set the parameters @Location and @Source to "Allow blank value" in the datasets for the location and source I have :
SELECT NULL AS Source UNION SELECT DISTINCT RTRIM(LTRIM(SOURCE))AS Source FROM CTS_OPS_SOURCE_LOCATION_TBL_VW ORDER BY SOURCE
So a blank will show on the drop down and when I run the query for the Query Designer in the Dataset Properties the results does show a blank record for the first record.BUT when I Run the report there are no blanks in the drop downs for the location or source. And there is no '<blank>' selection in the drop down either. And the drop down insist the user selects a value from both of the drop downs.
For the past couple of days I've been having an issue with Reporting Services. From what I can understand reporting services doesn't work well when exporting to word.
The scenario is quite simple, I am developing a report for a client with a 'master page', which works as the cover, and executes 2 sub-reports with one table each, nothing fancy. We don't export this report to pdf, because the internal client has to attach another report that is impossible to automate, so they generate that report via excel and integrate it on our word document before sending the document to their business partners.
Our main problem is that we can't export the header/footers to word.
I have a brand-new Toshiba laptop, running Vista Business, that I installed SQL Express onto. Prior to installation, I was sure to install all the requisite IIS components so SSRS would install.
The installation ran fine -- installed all components. The configuration ran fine. Everything that is supposed to be green shows green
But, when I go to http://localhost/ReportServer, I get:
Server Error in Application "Default Web Site/ReportServer"
HTTP Error 404.2 - Not Found Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the ISAPI and CGI Restriction list settings on the Web server.
No handler mapping for this request was found. A feature may have to be installed. The Web service extension for the requested resource is not enabled on the server. The mapping for the extension points to the incorrect location. The extension was misspelled in the browser or the Web server. What you can try:
Install the feature that handles this request. For example, if you get this error for an .ASPX page, you may have to install ASP.NET via IIS setup. Verify that the Web service extension requested is enabled on the server. Open the IIS Manager and navigate to the server level. In the Features view, double-click ISAPI and CGI Restrictions to verify that the Web service extension is set to Allowed. If the extension is not in the list, click Add in the Actions pane. In the Add ISAPI and CGI Restrictions dialog box, type the path of the .dll or .exe file in the ISAPI or CGI Path box, or click Browse to navigate to the location of the file. In the Description box, type a brief description of the restriction. (Optional) Check "Allow extension path to execute" to allow the restriction to run automatically. If you do not check this option, the restriction status is Not Allowed, which is the default. You can allow the restriction later by selecting it and clicking Allow on the Actions pane. Click OK. NOTE: Make sure that this Web service extension or CGI is needed for your Web server before adding it to the list. Verify that the location of the extension is correct. Verify that the URL for the extension is spelled correctly both in the browser and the Web server. Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here. More Information... This error occurs when the necessary Web service extension is not enabled, the location or the name of the extension are misspelled or incorrectly entered.

The only lead I could find when I googled this error was a reference to running appcmd to ensure that asp.net was enabled. It sure looks like it is:
Honestly... I'm out of ideas. I've been messing with this for 8 hours now, and I'm ready to fling the laptop out the window. I've completely UNinstalled SQL Server, IIS, reinstalled both, repeated the uninstall/reinstall after double-checking all files were deleted, and so on.
Does *anyone* know how to resolve this error? I checked IIS.NET and although they have a few references to it (not within the Reporting Services context) there never seems to be a definitive answer as to what the solution is.
On SSRS 2008 R2 I've set the Action of a pie chart title to Go to URL. When I run the report in the browser the title can be clicked and all is well.
However, when I export/render the report to pdf, the hyperlink disappears. I've tested with a small URL, but that fails as well. I've also tried the same URL in the Action of a text box and that works fine. But, I don't want a text box on top of the chart (which comes with its own positioning issues) and use the more elegant approach of having the link in the title instead.
I'm assuming this is a SSRS limitation? Re-writing the url or making it shorter does not have any effect.
Works fine in Visual Studio. Once deployed to SharePoint though, the drill through returns an error that says report can't be found. So I added the .rdl to the conditional statement in the report Design.
We're migrating from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008. We use itextsharp (a pdf processing library) to merge different PDF outputs into one large PDF file. This was working brilliantly in SSRS 2005, but in SSRS 2008, itextsharp *can* open and parse the PDF, but itext sees the "content" section of the PDF pages as blank. So, the resulting composite PDF ends up being a series of blank pages. Acrobat 9 and a couple other PDF tools (tested linux Evince and win GIMP) seem to be able to open the SSRS 2008-generated PDF fine, but the java-version of itext, and the .net version of itext (itextsharp) see nothing but blanks.So, I realize this points to a problem with itext, but I'm curious if merging PDFS outputed from SSRS 2008, and what PDF tools/libraries they are using.
I have reports developed in SQL Server 2005 (.rdl file) and using report viewer in my ASPX page.Now we have upgraded SQL Server 2005 to 2012, how I can use exsisting .rdl file or what change I need to do.
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.Â
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?Â
I'm pretty new to DTS, so forgive me if this is basic. I created a simple DTS package to run a query and export it to a text file. I can execute the package fine from my workstation through EM, but when I try to execute the job to run the package I get this error: Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Error opening datafile: Access is denied.
I think that maybe SQL Agent doesn't have the right permissions to write to that network drive. What should the permissions be?
This is probably very simple, but I can't get passed this problem.
I have a report in MS Access that uses info generated by a query. One of the text fields in the query contains either the word 'Select' or the name of a course. The report should display a space if the value is 'Select', or the actual value of the field in any other case. The field can never contain a null value.
I've used: =IIf([optVoc1]="Select","",[optVoc1]) in the text box on the report, but this only returns #error regardless of the actual content of the field.
I create and schedule a SQL job to run every minute to update a table base on certain condition but it doesn't work. Job history says successful every time but the table doesn't get updated.
However if I move it to Query Analyzer and run it under dba, it will work. Thinking that it may have to do with the user the job run as, I then change run as user from self to dba. But still SQL job won't update my table.
Anything about user permission or security that I can check? Or it there any other possibility?
When I run the select its fine but I cannot delete..... i have done this many times and it has worked.... I cannot see the error what am i missing
select eqnow.empnumber, eqnow_names.empnumber, eqnow_names.names --delete from eqnow inner join eqnow_names on eqnow.empnumber = eqnow_names.empnumber where eqnow_names.names is null
i get this error Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'inner'.
When I try to install the problem I get the following error.
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The log tells me nothing useful. I can't start the thing manually because after clicking cancel on the error message, the installer proceeds to roll back the installation.
This is the autogenerated code from the SelectCommand of my DataAdapter, except the red text. This DataAdapter is used to fill a DataGrid.

I try to copy a DB from one server to another. On the target server an older version of the DB has been deleted and I now try to attach the new version using "sp_attach_db DBname, Filelocation", but I always get an error "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'D:mssql7dataAgency_log.ldf' may be incorrect" "Database 'Agency' cannot be Created"
To me it seems that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted). I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create a new database and replace the mdf file, but nothing works.
I wanted to create a new trigger, but Enterprise Manager tells me about an "Incorrect syntax near @UpdatedByID, line 28". I double-checked everything, but it still does not work :mad: .
Any hints :confused: ?
TIA,

Here is the statement (line 28 is marked with ***):
