Code To Post Files To A SharePoint Site
Feb 13, 2008
I am looking for sql code/approach to export a text file and 2 excel works sheets(from an excel workbook) in a folder, to 3 different tables in sql server, perform data scrubbing and then export the data from all 3 tables to 3 different excel sheets and post them in 3 different web parts in a share point site.
Mainly sql code(or any code that i can integrate with SQL Server) to post files to different web parts in a share point site is what i am looking for.
Any sort of pointers/suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi all SSIS experts,
I have a task to read certain columns from the db, convert it into a tab delimted text file and post it in an FTP site.
Please suggest on the steps to accomplish this.
Is SSIS the best way?
Can the same task be accomplished using only sql code.
Regards,
Josiny

Lets say I use the 'enabling roles' for my ASP 2.0 site. This creates a ASPNETDB.DBF SQL Express file.
Later I go to post this to a real web server - which runs the 'full' MS SQL2005 server. What happens to the ASPNETDB.MDF file (or for that matter, any other MDF file I create with SQL Express) when it leaves the Express world and enters the Real world.

After upgrading to SP2 straight from from SP1, I get the message that my current reporting server instance cannot be configured for Sharepoint Integration when I click on the Sharepoint integration tab. Also, I do not get the option of choosing Sharepoint integration if I try to create a new database in the Database Setup tab. I've read that the new Reporting Services Configuration Manager is not compatible with an older instance of Reporting Services, and realize that might be the problem. But I haven't found how to get around it! Do I need to uninstall SSRS and start over? I'd really like to switch to Sharepoint integration, if at all possible.
Another funny thing: I thought I might try re-installing SP2 to rectify the above problem, and it sees that SSRS is the only thing that needs upgrading. When you continue, it says SSRS was successfully updated, but nothing's changed. If you re-run SP2, SSRS is chosen to be upgraded again! I've installed SP2 3 times now, and each time it says SSRS is needing upgrading.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks,
Matt

My site crashed, so I had to rebuild the Project Site.
I used the SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to disconnect from the server farm (only actually running on the single server).
I then reran SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to setup the site.
Configured the Project Service and attached to the existing dB's.
Previously, I used the url http://servername.domain.forest/PWA/default.aspx .
Now when I attempt the use the same URL, I get the following error:
"An unexpected error has occurred"
I have tested this one 3 servers now and I receive the exact same result. Is there a path I should apply to the servers in order to allow fully qualified server names after a reinstall of the system?

I setup PowerPivot (PP) for SharePoint and activate it on few site collections in production environment; I upload a PP workbooks in a library, manage the data refresh schedules, run the data refresh for an external SQL databases, etc. Everything works fine for several days. One day we decide the move one of the site collections (X) from its current content database to its own (new) content db. The way we did it is that we took the site collection backup in production, restored it in test environment (in its own content db; we deleted the old site collection in test first before restoring), checked everything including PP data refreshes etc.; all worked fine.Then we did the same thing in production - we deleted the old site collection X, restored the site collection from the same backup file that we used in test environment, everything works fine EXCEPT the PowerPivot refreshes!! :-(
I am getting these errors: When I click on the workbook, it gives this error "An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh: PowerPivot Data".When I click OK on error dialogbox, it opens the workbook fine but no slicers/refreshes work now. When I go back to the library and click on "Manage PowerPivot Data Refresh" to open the refresh history/schedule page, it gives this generic but scary error: "An unexpected error has occurred. Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation." ULSViewer or Event viewer is not showing anything related to this error!Strange thing is that PP refresh works fine in Test environment, as well as on other site collections in production that we didn't touch (which tells me there is nothing wrong with my PP configuration). Did the backup/restore in prd cause anything? Did moving it in its own contentdb cause anything? (But then why it works in test environment?) Is there anything wrong with site collection PP feature.

Hi,I trying to write a select statement that will return each of my salesmen a region code based on a table of post codes using wildcards... eg.MK1 1AA would be matched in the region code table to MK1%SELECT dn.DEALER_CODE, dn.NAME AS DNAME, rc.REGION_ID,rc.POST_CODE, dn.POSTAL_CODEFROM REGIONAL_CODES rc CROSS JOINDEALER_NAW dnWHERE (dn.POSTAL_CODE LIKE rc.POST_CODE)The above statement works BUT there are some post code areas such asour friends in Milton Keynes that are split into two regions... eg MK1is region id 2 and MK10 is region 3.So a dealer with post code MK10 1AA would be matched to both rowsreturning duplicatesPOST_CODE REGION_IDMK1% 2MK10% 3I think the answer would lie in a subquery which returns the ID of theregion with the longest length of the postcode match (e.g.len(POST_CODE) for the rc table... return only the MAX....any ideas????Any help muchos appreciated, and I apologies now for the naming of thedealers name as a reserve word... not me!Ct

Hello:
I have setup a Flat File connection manager and set the location of the file as such:
ftp://10.1.1.1/FileName.txt
When I enter this URL into Start | Run on my machine it opens the txt file fine. Working in BIDS, when I create the flat file connection manager, it doesn't give me a message saying this file does not exist, indicating it is correct. When I create a flat file Source that uses the connection manager, the preview comes up blank. When I try to execute the step it gives an error saying it "cannot open datafile ftp://10.1.1.1/FileName.txt"
Any idea what could be going on?
Thanks,
Kayda

I was wondering if there is a way to copy files from a network to an ip site where you would need to log in at. What I am trying to do is make a SP that would take all .csv files from the network drive and place them in the other ip address folder however you would need to use the login information.

I have an old sharepoint db (SQL Server 2000 Standard edition). What I need to try to recover is the data in log backup files from the docs table. I need to see if there is a way to get any data in the log backups from columns dirname, leafname and content. The column content is an image type which old documents (word, excel...). I don't have a full log chain since the last full restore so any data I can get out of the logs is better than nothing. I really just need to get the image files stored in the column content and place them in a shared directory for the users and let them see what they can use.

I need to only receive files via ftp when the file does not exist on my local machine. FIles are being added to the remote location on a weekly basis and they are being downloaded locally. I do not want to download all the files each time. Instead, just download what was not already downloaded. Is there a way to do this? I want to do this using SSIS / ftp task.
Thanks in advance.

My Original Post
I have to query n table(NLRImports) using the Distinct keyword, to retrieve a set of ID numbers. ( "Select DISTINCT id_nbr from NLRImport" ).
Now i want to use those values i retrieved, to process the records in the table(NLRImports) 1 by 1. How do i use those ID no's i retrieved as Variables or parameters for my next query?? If this makes sense?
----------------------------------------------------------------
First, thanks for the response.... now here is what im trying to do.
I created a simple application in delphi to import information to a table in MSSql2005. This is some of the resulting columns...
date | id_nbr | account_nbr | sub_account_nbr | ... etc
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now there will be several entries with the same id no but on different dates, so i take it dates would rather be my pkey.
Then i need to take one person's entries(i work on id_nbr) and go thru all the entries taking the earliest date and comparing all the other entries for that person to the first date and select all the dates more than 19 days after the first date and less than 91 days from first date and place it in a new table.
I used cursor s and while loops to kind of get it going but i know that cursors are not really recommended use but the performance implications dont bother with this particular job.
What other ways should i be using to accomplish this?
thanks, i hope this is clear...

I get the following error when I try to navigate to a report/model/data source, stored in a Sharepoint Document Library using a Sharepoint URL based on an Extranet or Intranet zone - but it works OK using the url for the Default zone:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SecurityZoneNotSupportedException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used.
Is this a limitation of the SQLRS-WSS3 integration or is there a workaround?
Many thanks to anyone who can help!

Is it possible to ftp files using code in a Script Task? I need to read the contents of an xml file and if it has a a specific file name in there then I ftp the corresponding pdf file which is at the same location as the xml file. However I cannot do this using the provided FTP Task in SSIS, I would need to use code to do this as there are close to 50 xml files which I need to read and upload the corresponding pdf file file it meets a certain criteria.
I do not see a way of looping thru all the files in a folder unless I do this in a Script task. Any inputs or alternative comments on doing this will be appreciated.
Thanks,

These files have complex structures/multiple record types. Not to mention my main problem of trying to use a bulk insert which doesn't seem to work because of something to do with the row delimiters. Not too sure what's up with that because I usually do this for all my flat file imports. I'm certain vbscript will work, but I'd like to know if anyone out there has already built something for these particular files??
Thanks!

I have been attempting to create a managed stored procedure which calls a web service using WSE 3.0 for security.
It appears that the WSE-generated config file (or possibly the app.config file) is not accessible to the .Net code.
Is there a method for using config files with CLR managed sprocs?

I am wondering if I can inherit from this web part to wrap some other functionality into it. I know that i see it in the GAC buyt can't seem to find it so I can look at the assembly using reflector.
Also, how easy is it to pass in parameters to the Report Viewer?

Since I wasn't getting any replies with answers or suggestions to my initial posting, I figured I would continue to list the problems and solutions I've encountered while trying to setup and utilize SharePoint integration mode, and read data from SharePoint with SSRS reports (developed in VS2005). Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that is also trying to learn all this stuff and figure it out.
(Single server - W2K3R2_SP2 as: DC / SQL2005 Standard / MOSS2007 Enterprise - see the bottom of this posting for the steps I took to set that up)
Note: After I get this to work, I intend to post my experiences for setting up SharePoint Integration with SQL and SP on separate boxes.
1. In the new reporting section under SharePoint application management in the Central Admin Console, the Grant database AND Set Server Defaults work when using the domain admin account, but not when using the SQLSPS service account I used to setup both SQL and SharePoint. Why can't I use the service account? Is the domain admin account now going to be used as a service account for accessing the sharepoint database?
This question remains unanswered as of yet.
2. Reporting Services configuration tool shows Sharepoint integration as red x when I create a new database in integration mode. (the service account SQLSPS and the Server object are members of the group WSS_WPG). If I switch back to native mode (the original reportserver database), the red x goes to a blue exclamation instead. Using Service Credentials or Windows credentials (as either the service account SQLSPS or as domain admin) doesn't change anything.
RESOLVED by using a domain user account for the ReportServer WebApp. Even though everything is installed on the same machine, it seems using the default of NETWORK SERVICE wasn't acceptable. Possibly because SharePoint is configured to allow additional machines in the farm?
3. http://servername:8080/reportserver will display Report Server information as it did before the integration on port 80, but http://servername/reportserver doesn't display anything through SharePoint.
Resolved. I needed to define a repository before I could view it (go figure). When I created a sharepoint site based on a report center template, created a data connection library and report library, and then referenced that by http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, I was able to see the equivalent of http://servername/reports (which is now disabled due to integration mode).
4. Unable to deploy to new report center sharepoint site I mention above using Visual Studio. I kept getting "A connection could not be made to the report server http://servername/sites/ReportCenter. Server was unable to process request. The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service unavailable (System.Web.Services). In Visual Studio, the project properties were: TargetDataSourceFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myDataConnectionLibrary, TargetReportFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, TargetServerURL = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/
Found these errors in the event logs on the server.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1021
Description:
The identity of application pool, 'ReportServer' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1057
Description:
The identity of application pool 'ReportServer' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1059
Description:
A failure was encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'ReportServer'. The application pool has been disabled.
RESOLVED the issue by changing the Application Pool used by reporting services from ReportServer to DefaultAppPool and changing the account DefaultAppPool used from NETWORK SERVICE to my service account SQLSPS. I have no idea why ReportServer is invalid, it was set to use the service account SQLSPS the same as DefaultAppPool is. Perhaps the reporting services add-on makes a change to invalidate this?
5. Attempting to read a SharePoint list using a SSRS report. This should be fun.
First, created a new custom list in the ReportCenter SharePoint sites I've been using and called it myCustomList. I added one item with a title of myCustomListItem1. I don't know if I need to do more than that for a simple test of reporting or not yet.
Second, configured new shared data source. Name = myCustomList1DataSource, type=XML, Connection String = http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (this URL is viewable in IE), Using Windows authenticaion.
Third, in VS2005 on a workstation in the domain, create new report item (report1.rdl). New dataset for report; Name=Report1DataSet, Data Source=myCustomList1DataSource (Shared), Command type = text, Query String = [See Queries and associated errors below]:
Initial query obtained from: Connecting SQL Reporting Services to a SharePoint List (David Wise)
http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx
Note: Queries when executing the dataset (which errors out) and when executing a query in CAML Viewer for the same information (which does work just fine) both initially return 401.1 and 401.2 errors (as viewed in Fiddler). Since the CAML query works, I have not tracked this down yet.
A. Original format from posting
<Query>
<Method Namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/ Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>
http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems
</SoapAction>
</Query>
Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList
Was NOT prompted to define the query parameters
- Gets this error: "An error occurred while setting the command text property of the data extension command. The XmlDP query is invalid. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions)."
- Advanced information from the error => 'http' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '"' or '''. Line 2, position 19. (System.Xml)
B. Changed: Placed the namespace URL in quotes (also tried with and without / in namespace after /soap)
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems
</SoapAction>
</Query>
Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList (also tried Value => myCustomList) (no equal sign)
Clicked "!" to execute, and got prompted to define the query parameters
Entered Name => listName, Value => myCustomList
- Gets this error: "failed to execute web request for the specified URL (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions)."
- Advanced information: <faultstring>Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems/.</faultstring>
C. Try the query string that seems to work for Stramit CAML Viewer to read myCustomList
Stramit CAML query:
<Query xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef Name="ID" />
</OrderBy>
</Query>
Also tried
<Query xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
</Query>
And tried entering no query...
Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList (also tried Value => myCustomList) (no equal sign)
Clicked "!" to execute, and got prompted to define the query parameters
Entered Name => listName, Value => myCustomList
- Gets this error: "failed to execute web request for the specified URL (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions)."
- Advanced information: <soap:Fault><soap:Code><soap:Value>soap:Receiver</soap:Value></soap:Code><soap:Reason><soap:Text xml:lang="en">Server was unable to process request. ---> Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.</soap:Text></soap:Reason><soap: Detail /></soap:Fault>
RESOLVED. Went back to the query used in B above, and mysteriously it works now. This could be the "funny things happen" symptom I've been reading about. We'll see if it continues to function.
Here's what I've learned so far on Issue #5:
1. XML is confusing. XmlDP is even more confusing...whatever that is. Apparently it's new to/with Reporting Services in SharePoint integration mode?
2. There is far too little documentation regarding XmlDP and querying SharePoint lists from SQL Reporting Services.
3. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx: You must use the generic query designer to create the query. The query is not analyzed to identify parameters; therefore you must create parameters through the Parameter tab on the Dataset dialog box.
Tried this query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems" />
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>myCustomReport2</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef name="ows_Date" />
</OrderBy>
</Parameters>
</Query>
I was still prompted for the listName and the list returned with ows_Date still out of order. So maybe that proves this statement is true?
<translation: why make it convenient when it's already [somewhat] functional?>
4. When building the dataset, anything I place in the "Query string" box has to be enclosed in <query></query> tags or it errors out. I am trying to understand how to translate the CAML viewer query (which does work but isn't wrapped in query tags) into something that fits between query tags, and it hasn't gone well so far.
<translation: To be at one with your reports Grasshopper, you must understand xml>
5. According to http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx, "GetListItems" operation is supported
<translation: you're getting warmer...>
6. According to the soap output of my site http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems, I am only allowed to specify the following parameters: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID.
<translation: that and $3.00 will get you a cup of coffee>
7. According to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) (query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS).
<translation: that kind of sucks>
8. When this started mysteriously working again, I tested using the "/" at the end of the namespace (wouldn't work without) and the "=" sign in front of the parameter value as defined on the parameter tab of the dataset (turns out to be optional).
As long as I can query SharePoint and get my list information back, I'm going to consider this issue closed and move on to actually using this information in a report. I'm sure that won't work right either, but why stop now?!
6. Ok, now that I can read SharePoint list data with SSRS, I need to try and actually do something with it.
A. Begin by setting up new data to report on
1. Create a new custom list (myCustomList2) and add a test record. This list will simulate the data we intend to submit to SharePoint using InfoPath, so it has a number of custom/created columns in it
2. Modify the working information from #5 above; add a new shared data source (myCustomList2DataSource), tell the dataset to use the new shared data source, change the information set in the parameter tab (Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList2) and test the dataset. Lucky me, it actually returned the record I entered on the first try.
B. Begin to build the report with the dataset returned
1. So, as I'm feeling good that it's actually reading the list in Step A without me threatening to destroy the machine, I look to the left in the Dataset results navigation pane in VS2005 and realize there are NO fields for me to choose to report on.
2. At this point, I have no clue what to do about getting this XML data into a report. Not that I have a large clue about SSRS otherwise, but I have at least been able to build SSRS reports when using a SQL database as the datasource. Fyi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx states: "Reports can use data from XML documents and Web services, or embed XML in the query. There is no built-in support for retrieving XML documents from a SQL Server database.", in case anyone is trying to do that....
RESOLVED. Since the fields were not appearing automatically, I had started to add new fields to the dataset manually (if it doesn't work, beat it with a hammer, right?). I entered half a dozen or so fields, each one with the exact name as displayed in the query results, and then decided it would be fun to hit the refresh fields icon. As soon as I did that, all the fields shown in the query immediately appeared in the dataset and I was able to add them to a report. I don't know if I hit the refresh fields when working in issue #5, so I can't say if they are there now because of that, or because of adding some fields manually first, a combination of the two, or if it's just one of those mystery items I'm reading about with sharepoint reporting.
7. Rows are being returned even though they have NULL values (so far anyway), and most data is returning nicely for the bulk of the columns I created in the list I'm reporting on. Here are the current issues:
A. I have one column in my SharePoint list that is multi-lined text. If the text type is either rich text or enhanced rich text, the value returned in the query is formatted like this: "<div class=ExternalClassyadayada<div>My notes display here". If I set the column to be plain text, this doesn't happen. I will need to figure out how to filter that for my report.
RESOLVED. David Wise had some code listed at http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx that addressed this issue somewhat. I modified it to match my circumstances. Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, so use this at your own risk.
function ExtractMultiLineText(myField as string) as string
dim strBegin as string
dim strEnd as string
dim myBegin as integer
dim myEnd as integer
dim myTextLength as integer
strBegin = "<div>"
strEnd = "</div>"
if myField = nothing then return ""
if myField = "" then return ""
myBegin = Instr(myField, strBegin) + Len(strBegin)
myEnd = Instr(myField, strEnd)
myTextLength = myEnd - myBegin
if myBegin < 1 then return myField
return mid(myField, myBegin, myTextLength)
end function
B. I have two columns in the SharePoint list that are set as number values with 0 decimal places. When I query those however in SSRS, they return with the number plus like 12 zeroes behind the decimal. Not a major issue, but I'll put it on the list anyway.
RESOLVED. Used the Int() function; =Int(Fields!ows_myProblemNumber)
C. If I go to "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems", it appears from the sample soap output that I am allowed to ask GetListItems for is: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID. As I mentioned in issue #5, according to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) and query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS.
So, if I can't put anything other than this in my query string;
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
and I only have a couple parameters to pass on top of that, then it appears to me that my options for filtering the amount of data returned from the SharePoint list is to figure out a way to do it with expressions in the parameters or in the report itself. Am I missing something? Is this really all I get to work with out-of-the-box?

Installation steps taken to build the server VM:
==================================
(Using VirtualPC 2007)
1. Build OS (2003R2SP2) and promote to DC
1a. Create domain user service account SQLSPS
2. Prep for SQL
2a. Install ASP.NET, IIS (www) and .NET 2.0
3. Install SQL/SSRS 2005 Std
3a. Verify SSRS works
3b. RS config tool shows SP integration as blue exclamation
3c. Use service account SQLSPS for anything requiring Windows credentials
4. Install SQL2005 SP2
4a. Verify SSRS works
4b. RS config tool shows SP integration as blue exclamation
5. Prep for SharePoint
5a. Install .NET 3.0
6. Install MOSS2007 Enterprise and configure
6a. Webapps, SSP and anything else use svc acct SQLSPS
6b. Move Default website to port 8080 and re-activate (SharePoint stopped the site)
6c. Verify SSRS works on 8080
7. Install Reporting Services Add-in
8. Create new RS database in integration mode (with service credentials)
8a. RS config tool shows SP integration as red x
9. SP central admin /application management / manage integration settings
9a. reports server = http://srv1:8080/reportserver (since default port has been moved to 8080)
10. SP central admin /application management/grant database access
10a. using the FQDN, confirm servername and default instance - click OK
10b. Prompted for an account to use to retrieve information; svc acct SQLSPS did not work, domain admin did though
11. SP central admin / application management/set server defaults
11a. Accepted all defaults
12. Verify reportserver answers at http://srv1:8080/reportserver (via reportserver AppPool and DefaultAppPool)
13. Changed the application pool identity for the ReportServer AppPool from Network Service to the domain user service account I used for all SQL and SharePoint configurations (SQLSPS) and rebooted. The red x for sharepoint integration in the RS configuration tool is now a green checkmark.

I have an automation project to review the software. The software is using MSVS2012 and uses DBs from MSSQL2012. Is it possible to restore the DB files on my local laptop to review the code completed thus far? If so what other software would I need besides MSQLserver 2012 on my local laptop. I'm able to use MSSQL server 2012 on my local laptop, but the DBs are on servers.

Alright so here is what I am trying to do.
I have a form that someone fills out it has a text box as title, and a drop down box that is a category, and then a text area that is for their explanation.
On the back end I am using a stored procedure called sp_store_bkm. When I execute this it works just fine and puts the data that I put in it into the to table below is the Stored procedure code:
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_store_bkm @oID nvarchar OUTPUT, @oTitle nvarchar(50), @oCategory nvarchar(50), @obkmtext nvarchar(MAX)
AS BEGIN INSERT INTO tbl_bkms(Title, Category, bkmtext) VALUES(@oTitle, @oCategory, @obkmtext)Set @oID= SCOPE_IDENTITY() END
Now on my front end it comes up with an error in the lower left (erros on page). When I click on the error for details it seems like it is coming fromt he connection string. I cant find anything wrong with the connection string. Below is my code for the aspx page.
<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" Title="Untitled Page" %><asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<script>
function Submit2_onclick() {
Dim Connection As SqlConnection = "server=localhost;Database=BKM.mdf;integrated security=SSPI;" connection.Open() Try Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_store_bkm", connection) command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim oID As New SqlParameter("@oID", SqlDbType.Int) oID.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output command.Parameters.Add(oID) command.Parameters.Add("@oTitle", title.text) command.Parameters.Add("@oCategory", category.text) command.Parameters.Add("@obkmtext", bkmtext.text) command.ExecuteNonQuery() Dim sOrderID As String = oID.Value }</script>
<form method="post"> <table cellpadding="10" style="width: 100%"> <tr> <td style="width: 100px"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> Login ID: <br /> </span> <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName1" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="10pt" ForeColor="Red" /> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> <br /> <br /> Title:<br /> </span> <input id="title" style="width: 374px" type="text" /><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> Category:<br /> </span> <select id="Category" name="D1" size="1" language="javascript" onclick="return Select1_onclick()"> <option selected="selected">Office Applications</option> <option>VPN</option> <option>WLAN</option> </select> <br /> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> <br /> Your BKM<br /> </span> <textarea id="bkmtext" style="width: 378px; height: 196px"></textarea><br /> <br /> <input id="Reset1" type="reset" value="reset" /> <input id="Submit2" type="submit" value="submit" language="javascript" onclick="return Submit2_onclick()" /></td> </tr> </table> </form></asp:Content>

Greetings friends:
I am a student at DePaul University in Chicago, IL. We have a big db project tomorrow and I'm proud with the work I've done so far, I've designed my own db and tested it using queries and such. Pretty good for being introduced to SQL just a couple short months ago. Anyway, I've sort of run into a wall here. I need to have an attribute of a table be computed from others.
I'm working with 2005 Server Management Studio and I have found the computed column specification under the column properties tab. I know that I have to enter a formula, but I'm just not sure on what to do. I have a CHG_HOUR attribute in a table called "EXPERTISE" which signifies how much a consultant charges per hour, based on what he exactly does. I also have a JOB_HOURS attribute in a JOB table (that links my CONTRACT table to CONSULTANT). I want to basically give a formula that multiplies the CHG_HOUR from the EXPERTISE table by the JOB_HOURS in the JOB table. Any suggestions on how I might do this?
Thank you in advance for your response, and hopefully with more practice and courses, I can be the one helping people like me on these boards in a few years.
