Hi!
Well..
I've several big tables which take part in the merge replication (web synchronization is used)
Is there any *painless* solution to delivery these tables to the subscribers?
Otherwise I've the snapshot with dozens of Mb..
Yes, the Parameterized Row Filters can be used, but sometimes it's necessary to get the whole table
Thanks
Paul

Hi Greg Y and seniors ones,
I am working with replication on sql server 2005 (standard edition sp1).There is scenario that some time one of the team of coders want to alter objects mostly tables being replicated on publication database but unable to do that due to error on adding column "Cannot add columns to table 'table1' because it is being published for merge replication.." in sql server 2000.
While other one want to alter replicated objects on subscriber end (like name of objects, add columns in replicated table etc).
We was working on sql server 2000 and for implementing this scenario I always use mechanism disabling/reconfigure the replication setup by the mean of long exercise.
After that, In order to alter the objects in publication database simple DDL script was executed after disabling the replication.
While manipulating the requirements on subscriber end, I created tables with same structure as replicated tables and replicate the data on self created tables by customizing code in triggers (ins_C9D57350-605A-4D87-85C0-0DB645F1CEC8 etc.) of replicated tables.
Also I have script of all replicated tables€˜s triggers but when I rerun snapshot agent it replaces the name of triggers with new one so at that time I lost my mind and I put code again in all tables€™ triggers. IS there any way to force sql server 2000/2005 generate and rerun snapshot but use already generated guid of articles instead created new one .
Let me know Plz, is there any solution/feature or any easy way in sql server 2005 to avoid this annoy exercised. I could implement this scenario.
VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time!
And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks,
Barry G. Sumpter

Is anyone else having problems with subscriptions and delivery with SQL Reporting Services? I can set up a subscription and uncheck "Include Report" and the email sends fine. When I try and "Include Report" such as a PDF I get "Failure sending mail: The Report Server has encountered a configuration error; more details in the log files" This was the default set up. I guess I am not sure as to what user/service accounts should be used. The Reporting Service and SQL are on the same machine (2003).
Thanks for ANY suggestions!!

Hi,
I'm new to SSIS but have been using BizTalk for a while. My question is, if the FTP task in SSIS ensures guranteed delivery of the files transferred. I know that in BTS, potnetially you can start processing incomplete files (unless you set the staging, temp folder). Can this be a problem in SSIS FTP transfer? I'll be dealing with very large files (5 gigs in some cases) transfers via FTP, on an unreliable network in my project, which means that the file can be partially transferred when the connection breaks down.
I need to know, if in SSIS
(1) FTP task supports partial transfers, and then resuming the download/ upload of these files from point of failure, when the network is again available (Regets, Reputs)?
(2) If EOF is received, before the rest of data is received, especially in the case if 1) is supported, then does FTP task believe that whole file is received or will it wait for the rest of content, before task completion?
I'll appreciate if someone can answer these and can also send me the details of FTP implementation in SSIS
Thanks,
Ali Shahzad
I'm using the web service to run reports from an application. However, I don't want to wait for a report to complete; I would like to just have the report emailed to the user when it is complete. I've only found email delivery through subscriptions. Is there another way to deliver reports via email?
If I have to use subscriptions I would like to set them to run "immediately". I've found that setting the start date to sometime in the past does not seem to run the report. Is there some way to set a schedule to run immediately. I've thought of setting the time to the near future, but I seem to have the problem of getting the proper timestamp. Can I get this through the web service some how?
Thanks,
Sam
Is SSRS limited to delivering reports to recipients inside your domain (active directory)? I'm using an SMTP server for report delivery an have set the SendMailToUserAlias to False and still can only send reports to e-mails with my domain (user@mycompany.com). I need to send reports to recipients outside my company -- is SSRS capable? If so, how do I configure it to do so?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to send an email out, from an SQL Server with Microsoft Office 2000 Premium (Professional also available) (could have option for Office
2003 also) installed on it (only outlook is installed, however we can change
that) It's Windows 2k3 running Microsoft SQL 2000 server SP 4.
I need to be able to, via SQL (or a stored procedure) automate sending of emails out via xp_sendmail or some other system, with delivery receipts attached to them, so that when they hit the client's server we know it. I can get it to send a delivery receipt when remoting into outlook and sending an email through outlook automatically, however it does not attach one to the ones going out with xp_sendmail. I know there's a way to do it via ASP.Net, but I'd much prefer to have a job that goes out and finds which emails need sent, and have the database server auto make the email, and sent it out on our behalf, instead of requiring someone to go in and click sends, and such via ASP.Net.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi There
I was wondering if someone could elaborate (or provide a link) on how the once only delivery works for servcie broker.
For example you have DB1 that sends messages to DB2. DB1 has corruption at 1pm, you retore the database to 12:30pm, this will have all the messages that were in this instance at 12:30 , however between 12:30 AND 1PM several successful messages were sent. These messages are in the restored DB1 queue, they get sent again?
How does service borker ensure that these messages are not processed again. The only thing i can think of is that the inititator or target keep a complete history of messages processed. But surely this "table" would get huge and slow down servcie broker if it had to check this tale every time a message is sent or received.
I cannot find much in BOL on this topic, or maybe i cannot find the topic.
Thanx
I have a delivery extension that prints to network printers.
Now I add a subscription like a few minutes in the future via web service for each report to print.
Is there a way I can trigger the delivery directly?
Thanks for ideas, guys.

hello,
I am trying to enable service broker by issuing this command:
USE master ;
GO
ALTER DATABASE msdb SET ENABLE_BROKER ;
GO
It is taking a while to do that and I am wondering whether msdb needs to be in single user mode? Some smaller dbs completed right away. Going through Surface area config I got a message that I need a service broker endpoint and I looked at my other db and that has dbmail functioning and same message saying this instance needs an endpoint in surface config, what do you think is wrong?
I have a report server set with an smtp account with Alias set to False but will not allow me to send e-mail outside the network. E-mail report delivery works fine to any e-mail with @mycompany.com but to an e-mail like @hotmail.com it gets rejected saying e-mail not recognized. I tried all config possibilities know to this man but nothing works. If long into the smtp server itself I can send e-mails outside of company. I'm thinking it may require a password from SSRS config but there is no place to put one. Any one know how to config SSRS to deliver e-mails to any and all e-mails accounts?

I am trying to modify the Printer Delivery Sample (RS 2005).
The original sample works fine: there was no any problem with deployment and running it.
What I need to accomplish is saving each delivered report as a local XML file.
For now (to start with), I'm just trying to read the rendered report as XML, and write the string (whatever the report contains) into a text file.
I added the following code to the PrintReport(...) method in the PrinterDeliveryProvider.cs file:
deviceInfo = String.Format(
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
@"<DeviceInfo><OutputFormat>{0}</OutputFormat></DeviceInfo>",
"xml");
RenderedOutputFile[] testFiles = notification.Report.Render("XML", deviceInfo);
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(@"C: est est.txt"))
{
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs))
{
sw.WriteLine("******************");
try
{
Stream streamTemp = (Stream)testFiles[0].Data;
byte [] byteData = new byte[streamTemp.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < byteData.Length; i++)
{
byteData[ i ] = (byte)streamTemp.ReadByte();
}
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteData))
{
string result = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
sw.WriteLine(result);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
sw.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
sw.Flush();
}
}
After I re-deploy the modified assembly and create a simple subscription, it fires, and there are no exceptions. But instead of some good-looking XML in the test.txt file, I get this:
******************
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[Actually, there are much more slashes, but I am showing just the beginning of the file - for brevity...]
When I run this report in ReportManager and export it as "XML file with report data", that XML exported file looks exactly as I expect it to. So, the data is there, in the report, but how do I extract it?
I've been trying to figure out why I am not getting the real content of the report in XML format.
Maybe, this line is wrong: RenderedOutputFile[] testFiles = notification.Report.Render("XML", deviceInfo);
AND/OR this line is wrong: deviceInfo = String.Format(................etc.
AND/OR I am using a wrong method for converting the Stream to a string.
...or, something else?
Could someone kindly help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, please?
Hi all,
We're running into some random errors on our reporting server (Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2000 Enterprise). In the application logs, we're seeing several Schedule and Delivery Processor errors (ID 108)...one for each processing extension (FileShare, Excel, HTML, etc.). In the security logs, at the same time of day, are several failure audits with the following info:
EventID: 680
User: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM
Description: Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0. Logon account: sqluser.
The odd thing is that the schedules that are failing run perfectly about 98% of the time. Once every few weeks we have a situation like this and all of our reports (approximately 200 of them...mostly Excel, all of them sent via E-Mail) fail.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this, and why it would only happen occasionally? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I am having a strange intermittent problem sending reports via e-mail subscription. The report will be delivered only 20-25% of the time. I have checked the SQL logs, SQL Agent logs, System, App and Secuirty logs and see nothing obvious.
I put a network monitor on the reporting box and looked at all SMTP traffic. What happens is the reporting server connects to the SMTP box, sends the From Address and gets an OK, sends the To Address and gets an Ok. Next the reporting server sends a RSET command to the SMTP and it closes the connection.
No e-mail sent, but reporting services/SQL agent indicate success. Here is a log of the

Any suggestions?
I'm trying to deliver a report via the included File Share Delivery method. Every time the subscription fires, the delivery fails with this error in the interface:

An in ReportServerService<dateTime>.log, I find the following error:

I have tried using the <domain><user> username syntax. I have tried sending to multiple different machines. The only deployment that succeeded was to \localhostc$ est with administrator credentials entered into the Subscription (unacceptable, of course).
I've seen this issue raised on this forum at least twice, and neither was met with any ideas or answers. Has anyone encountered and overcome this issue?
I want to have a form where a user enter delivery information. On some orders there will be up to 20 stops. On my form I plan to have a popup to enter the extra stops. When they enter the first extra stop the window will close and then they click extra stop button again to enter the 3rd stop and so on. I am not sure how to save the data. I am coding in Visual Basic using SQL Server with .NET 3.5 and AJAX.Here are my two tables that are simplifiedTable DeliveryInformationPKDeliveryID FKStopsTable StopsPKStops CityStateZipCode
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have installed the printer delivery sample and made the changes to the config files as described in the documentation but can only see it available as an option in the data driven subscriptions section. Anyone know how I can get it to show up in the standard subscriptions option?

is subscription using E-mail delivery possible in SSRS developer edition? act in the option for "Delivered By" in "New Subscription", only "Windows file share" is coming....
Has anyone figured out a good way of doing this?
The only suggestions I have seen along these lines involve scheduling the job every day and then manually editing the SQL Agent job that is created.
However the problem with this is that it completely removes the ability for non programmers to set the schedule themselves using the web interface.
Any ideas?
Hi There
WHen creating publciations under 2005 i saw a very interesting option under stament delivery, for inserts , updates , deletes there is an option that simply says insert/update/delete statement.
I could find very little in BOL about this under "Article Properties", is this what it soudns like ? FOr example if you say :
update Table set Cloumn = 'whatever', this will not trigger the update sp for each row at the subscriber , will it actually deliver the update statements and literally do the update/insert/delete statement at the subscriber?
Thanx
Hi,
I am currently planning on using Reporting Services for delivery of reports, some of which in turn are reliant on an import from FTP via SSIS.
In the event that the FTP fails I would like the delivery of just the dependant reports to be cancelled for just that day.
Any advice on the best way of achieving this?
Cheers,
Martin
In Sql Reporting Services 2005 (This is bolded because this same error is all over the web for Sql Reporting Services 2000 and thats not where my problem lies) I schedule a report to be emailed. However when the delivery extensions Deliver method is called I get the following error
Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration
error. See the report server log files for more information.
In the log it shows the following
ReportingServicesService!emailextension!4!01/10/2007-12:21:01:: Error sending email.

So it seems to be failing at GetAuthzContextForUser
I've set up my smtp as out domain email smtp, given the accounts all the permissions I could (Even going to far as to give Everyone permissions everywhere)
Currently my IIS, SQL 2005 and reporting Services 2005 as well as my local SMTP is running on the local machine account.
I cannot seem to get it to work, or even give me a different error.
Could anybody please tell me what needs permission where and what settings I need to have set up for this not to happen.
Some extra information
I'm using Windows XP to develop on however the server where this will eventually run is Windows Server 2003
I'm using ASP.NET 2 and SQL Reporting Services 2005 and SQL 2005 with sp1 loaded
Any help would be appreciated
Hi guys!
I am having a problem with the e-mail delivery extension in MS SQL Reporting Services 2005. I have some reports that use an Oracle data source. When running the reports through Report Manager the data source works fine and the reports display properly. But when running an automatic e-mail delivery of the reports through a subscription I get the following error message (in the ReportServerService log file):
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
Doesn't this seem strange when the reports run in Report Manager but not when I send the reports through e-mail? I have Oracle Instant client v. 10.2.0.3 installed on the machine. I am wondering if the e-mail delivery extension has an account that needs privilegies to the oracle client home directory or something like that. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Can anyone help on this topic...
i need to set Printer Delivery Extension, and create a subscription for report which will be sent to the printer automatically
It's possivel delivery a report after trigger execution ou user solicitation?
Thanks in advance, Rui Figueiredo
Hi All,
I have been stuck with this problem since few days, need help regarding the same. I am enclosing the problem description and possible solutions that I have found.
Can anyone please help me out here?
Thanks and regards,
Virat
Problem Description:
I have a requirement for which I have created a data driven subscription in
SQL Server 2005, the whole thing works like this:
I have a report on Report Server which executes a stored procedure to get
its parameters; then it calls another stored procedure to get data for the
report; then it creates the report and copies it to a file share. This is
done using data driven subscription and the time set for repeating this
process is 5 minutes.
You can assume that following are working fine:
1. I have deployed the report on the Report Manager (Uploaded the report,
created a data source, linked the report to data source) - manually, the
report works fine.
2. Created a data driven subscription.
3. The data driven subscription calls a stored procedure, say
GetReportParameters which returns all the parameters required for the report
to execute.
4. The Report Manager executes the report by calling a stored procedure, say
GetReportData with the parameters provided by GetReportParameters stored
procedure; after it has generated the report file (PDF) is copied to a file
share.
For each row that GetReportParameters stored procedure returns a report (PDF
file) will be created and copied to file share.
Now, my question is
1. How to I get a notification that this file was successfully created
or an error occurred?
2. The only message that reporting service shows on 'Report Manager >
My Subscriptions' is something like "Done: 5 processed of 10 total; 2
errors."
How do I find out which record was processed successfully and which ones
resulted in an error?
Based on above results (success or failure), I have to perform further
operations.
Solutions or Work around that I have found:
1. Create a windows service which will monitor the file share folder
and look for the file name (each record has a unique file name) for the
reports that were picked up for PDF creation. If the file is not found, this
service will report an error. Now, there's a glitch there; if a report takes
very long time to execute it will also be reported as error (i.e. when this
service checks for the PDF file, the report was currently being generated).
So, I can't go with this solution.
2. I have also looked at following tables on ReportServer database:
a. Catalog - information regarding all the reports, folders, data
source information, etc.
b. Subscriptions - all the subscriptions information.
c. ExecutionLog - information regarding execution of the subscriptions
and the also manual execution of reports.
d. Notifications - information regarding the errors that occurred
during subscription execution.
For this solution, I was thinking of doing a windows service which will
monitor these tables and do further operations as required.
This looks like most feasible solution so far.
3. Third option is to look at DeliveryExtensions but in that case I
will have to manually call SSRS APIs and will have to manage report
invocation and subscription information. What is your opinion on this?
My environment details:
Windows XP SP2
SQL Server 2005
Reporting Services 2005
Please let me know if I am missing something somewhere...
We are using RS2005 for a year now and never had any problems especially with mail subscriptions.
Since we transferred from single RS machine to web farm everything works ok except mail subscriptions. Subscription sometimes (?!?!?!?!) refuse to export report to a document of any kind. I repeat that this is a random thing which is more often with PDF and less with Web Archive or Excel. We are using shared schedules and on demand execution of AddEvent stored procedure by night batches to send mail to users. Also, original error from RS log says something that this kind of operation is not supported for server working in native mode. We don't have SharePoint so we never used it in any other way then native mode and it worked.
Any idea will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Update 26.06.2007
It seems that problem is not loading dll used to export report to a file but loading email subscription extension (dll that needs to be loaded for execution of email subscription.)
Original error from RS Log:

I have a report that groups a particular dataset by customer, with a page break between each customer. If print this report, it looks great - one page per customer.
What I would like to do is have the report deployed on schedule to a windows file share, one .pdf file per customer. How to parse the output into individual .pdfs (one per customer) instead of a single .pdf containing all customers? I get it if this is not possible.
My current (painful) workaround would be to replicate the report for each potential customer, and set a schedule for each report to deploy sequentially. (Customer 1 at 9:00, Customer 2 at 9:01, etc).
Currently on SQL Server/Visual Studio 2008.
