Append Date To Exporting File Name In SQL Reporting Service
Nov 22, 2007
When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services ?
example : Report name : Testreport
Exported file should be : Testingreport-November-22-2007.pdf

Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services as well as report builder?

To overcome the inability to manage the sheet tab names when exporting from Reporting Services to Excel, is there anyway to include a short macro with the exported Excel workbook to Auto_Run macro when the Excel file is opened to rename the tabs?
I am trying to setup ssis data flow package to export a smalldatetime field to just date only. I have changed the dattype to datbase date [DT_DBDATE] AND ALSO [DT_DATE] but it still exports datetime format. What is the best and easiest way to setup flat file connection manager to only export date and not the time. Do I have to add another setup to convert to date only?
I have a requirement to transform the XML format of the SSRS report while exporting. I tried with some XSLT to implement this, but not getting desried output. Default XML format of my report is
In exporting from a OLEDB connection to a flat file.
In the originating table the field for DOB is in a varchar(10) format ex. 01/17/2007. The flat file connection destination is setup as a DT_STR. When you look at the OLEDB connection table preview you see it as 01/17/2007. When it is export to the delimited <CR><LF> <|> pipe delimited the format looks like this 01/17/2007 00:00:00. The issue would be resolved with a right ragged fixed width file. But this is not the requirement for the project format fot the file. I have tried delete and recreating the connections, and even tried doing a data conversation from the OLEDB connection to a char(10). Also, thourgh the transformation services with out any luck. On the flat file data connection I am using expressions to map to a declared variable path and variable name and I listed the expression language below also:
If you can give some help in getting the file to export to a delimited "|" file in the format of "01/17/2007" this would be greatly aprreciated. I also forgot to mention that I have also tried putting a text qualifier in like" on the flat file destination column layout and get the other format still.
I tried to export a reort using SQL 2005 Reporting Services. However Iam getting the following log on the screen : [logs After upgrading the SQL 2005 with SP2 ]

Our customer wants to display the exporting date only in the exported file when exports a report to PDF/Excel (we are using ReportViewer Control in ASP.NET). Can anybody tell me how to achieve this?
1)Where do I do the dateDiff calculation, at report or cube level? 2)How do I work out which dates belong to the above groups? I'm assuming i have to check if the dateDiff lies between those numbers?
I have been using reporting service to generate my report and sending email with attachment report via subscription everyday. It is work well and no error.
My attachment file name is as same as reportname project. But customers asked me to add current date into an attachment filename which will help them to identify the report. I try to check in rsreportserver.config to change it but have no idea.
My reportname project is daily_file.rdl and my attachment filename in email is daily_file.csv. I'd like to change my attachment filename as day_month_year_file.csv.
Is there anyone know how to change an attachment filename to be not the same as reportname in reporting service 2005

I have a sql server 2008 backend with an Access 2007 frontend database. Each time I export a query I get the following error:
Code: Microsoft Access was unable to append all the data to the table.
The contents of fields in 0 record(s) were deleted, and 1 record(s) were lost due to key violations.
*If data was deleted, the data you pasted or imported doesn't match the field data types or the FieldSize property in the destination table. *If records were lost, either the records you pasted contain primary key values that already exist in the destination table, or they violate referential integrity rules for a relationship defined between tables. Do you want to proceed anyway?
I don't know what if anything is actually missing because of the amount of data is more thant 6000 records. It seems everything exported but I would have to comb through the data to be sure.
Is there a way to do so on the fly in SQL Server 2000? In other words, a field has the latest update date for the table and we wish to use this date as part of the table name. If so, please provide an example.
I have a user enter a start end end date to create a report and I would like to append a static time 23:59:59 to the date that the user enters. I have tried several methods and I am having no luck.....
When I am saving a SSRS report in excel format in a shared network drive, how can I add the date extension to the filename ?I assume this is something that needs to be handled within the SSRS reporting side rather than the subscription side.
I was wondering if there was a way for me to append data to a flat file. The reason why i ask this is because i need to create a header for the report that i am exporting.
The way i imagined this working would to be create a dts that would export the header information to a flat file and the create another dts to export the report data and appensd it to the same file that the header dts created. This might not be the correct approach so i was hoping i could get some guidance of how i can accomplish this.
I have a DTS that exports a view to an excel file, is it possible to append data to an excel file, it seems if it sees that the sheet is available it creates a new sheet, I have a logo in my excel file and I want to append the rows below it.
Hello, I'm beginner in SQL and I would like to do a simple thing : Extract data from different table to a text file. I would like an automatic schedule job to extract these data and also I need that the result are "append" in this text file. Could you help me and give me the process to follow. Thanks in Advance
I run two different types of backups on the same database.
A monthly full and nightly diffs appending to the same full file - file 'A'
A weekly full with 10 min trans log backups appending to same file - file 'B'- during working hours.
2 strategies, 2 backup files.
These are new strats that have gone live this week - tuesday in fact. The monthly and weekly both ran fine on tuesday as did the nightly diff and all the TS backups througout the day. last night - Weds - the nightly diff failed with the following error:
"
Executed as user: <USERNAME>. Cannot perform a differential backup for database "objectstore", because a current database backup does not exist. Perform a full database backup by reissuing BACKUP DATABASE, omitting the WITH DIFFERENTIAL option. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3035) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
"
Whilst the error is perfectly legible I dont understand what its implying - cant I add multiple Diff backups to the same full backup OR is my weekly / 10 mins on the same database (but to a diff backup file) ballsing things up for me somehow? If this is the case how come everything ran fine on tuesday night?
Any help gets beers.
THanks

I have created a DTS package which transfers data from a SQL 2000server table to a text file. Each time the package is executed thedata in the text file is replace with the new data from the currentexecution of the package. Can DTS append new text to a text file andnot replace it each time the package executes. Is there an option orseeting for this? I havent seen one. Can anyone help me out on this.Thank you,Brett
What I would LIKE to do is noted in the subject line. What I'm findingis that "edit SQL" appears to only be an option if I am creating atable. If I select "append to" the option to edit SQL shades itself asunavailable.The reason I'd like this is that there is a datum in the flat file thatindicates whether that record should be appended to that table notedabove. There are other ways of dealing with this "problem" but it wouldbe nice to be able to control it using SQL, in the DTS import/exportwizard.If the source of my data is an SQL table, I can generate an SQL queryto specify what fields to import in an append, to check for existingvalues, etc...Is there a way around this? I can reserve a table for data transfers,regularly overwrite it with new data from text file inputs, and use SQLto insert select fields from that transfer table to other databasetables. (From this "transfer" table, data needs to be inserted intofour separate tables in our database).I hope this is clear. If it CAN'T be done this way, it's okay...just alittle ugly with the need to re-create the transfer table.
We are using the whole BI-package from Microsoft - from SQL, DTS-package,Raporting Service and Analyze Service.
It should be very helpful to be able to create a metadata databases where you could find all releations between different objects (tables,views,reports,cubes,DTS-package,Databases.
Just to get answer for: 'where is view xxx used', 'what are Report xxx depending upon'.
While everything exists in different SQL databases it should possible to do.
I'm exporting reports daily to a file share and I need to rename the reports with a pseudo time stamp.
Example: I have a report named "Disk Usage" and when I export (using a data-driven subscription) I want to rename it "Disk Usage - (Jan07)" - or something to that effect.
I have a client that requres me to add a header line and trailer line to a flat file. The trick is the header and footer row is required to have a length of 120 with 5 colunmns while the data included in the query has a length of 1125 and about 70 columns. How can I append a header row to a file through SSIS.
In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
I created a ssis package which exports the data from oledb source to flat file (csv format). For this i have OLEDB source and Flat File as destination. I generate the file and filename dynamically with the column names in the first row. So if the dynamically generated file name already exists , then i want to append the data in the same existing file. But I dont want to append the column names again. I just want to append the rows to the existing rows.
so lets say first time i generate a file called File1_3132008.csv.
Col1, Col2 1,2 3,4
After some days if my ssis package generates the same file name i.e. File1_3132008.csv, this time i just want to append the rows to the existing file. So the file should look like this- Col1, Col21,23,45,67,8
But instead my file looks like this if i set Overwrite propery to false
Col1,Col2 1,2 3,4 Col1,Col2 5,6 7,8
Can anyone help me to get the file as shown in the highlighed
