I m trying to deploy reports using rs.exe & rss script. I would like to provide custom Report Name for each report I am deploying (not same as report rdl filename) for more meaningful listing under Report Manager. Is there a way to implement the same?
Thanks
Hi,
I have report that needs to be scheduled hourly and the output is in excel. I want this to have a dynamic filename (Filename + datetime.xls).
How do i do that?

Dear Anyone,
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have defined a monthly substription for a series of reports. I would like to be able to pass a paremter used in generating the report to the file name define in the subscription.
I can do it if I used system names such as @datetime, but I want to be able to use a parameter unique to the report.
For example if the parameter for the report was CARS and I was quesrying Toyotas how can I get toyoats to show up in the file name?
Any suggestions?
My company sends reports on a daily basis to our customers. Now I want to save all the sent reports on disc with the date in the filename. I have set up a subscription which daily saves the files where I want them. However, I haven't found a way to add the date easily. I already have a parameter when creating the report, it is called Date. Does anybody know if I can use a parameter or something else?
Thank's
Doesn't appear you can do this.
Am I wrong?
Please tell me I am.
Hi,
I'm trying to deploy Reporting Services on an Internet-facing web server using a custom security extension (forms authentication). We will be putting Report Manager on the Web Server outside of the firewall, and Report Server on another machine inside the firewall. When testing the solution in a development environment with Report Manager and Report Server on the same box, the solution works fine.
When testing it using the Internet-facing environment described above, it almost works but there seems to be an issue with the authentication cookie that is generated. Here's what happens:
1. User enters credentials on UILogon.aspx and submits form.
2. In the code-behind, LogonUser() is called through a web service proxy and the authentication cookie is returned successfully. The code used here to set the cookie is the same code used in the Forms Authentication sample that ships with RS2005.
3. The user is redirected to Folder.aspx, and the request hangs for a while, and eventually kicks you back out to UILogon.aspx, as if it lost the authentication cookie. When doing a trace on the HTTP header, the cookie is still there.
Is there anything special I need to do to make the Report Server "see" the cookie when I have Report Manager and Report Server on different machines?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello everyone,
I created a custom assembly using C# to transform some binary data into text, and in this assembly I used one win32 dll developed by our customer to help me to do the tranformation.
The code I used to call the win32 dll is like below:
[DllImport("tdasuie.dll", EntryPoint = "AlrtLogConditionToText",
ExactSpelling = false, CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern UInt32 AlrtLogConditionToText(Byte[] pbCondition, StringBuilder pszText, UInt32 dwSize);
I defined a C# method to call the above win32 method and return a string. Then in the report, I called this C# method to get the correct string.
In the report designer, the C# method in the custom assembly can return the correct string in the preview window. But after I deployed the report into the report server, the textbox will only display "#error" in the report manager web page.
Can anybody help me on it? Thanks a lot.

I have developed a custom report item that works fine in design and preview mode while in Visual Studio. I cannot get it to show up on my deployed reports. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Deployed the report using Visual Studio
2. updated the rsreportserver.config file with the following entry:
<ReportItems>
<ReportItem Name="PedigreeChart" Type="Uabr.Rap.PedigreeChart.PedigreeChartRenderer, Uabr.Rap.PedigreeChart" />
</ReportItems>
3. Updated the rssrvpolicy.config file with the following entry.
<CodeGroup
class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Description="This code group grants Uabr.Rap.PedigreeChart.dll FUllTrust permission. ">
<IMembershipCondition
class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServerinUabr.Rap.PedigreeChart.dll" />
</CodeGroup>
I've also tried using the StrongNameMembershipCondition with no better results.
4. The dll and its dependencies are copied to the bin directory of the report server.
5. When I load a report with this custom report item on it, the report loads fine with no errors or warnings in the log file (even with verbose tracing). The area where the custom item should be is just white. It's almost like Reporting Services isn't registering the item correctly.
This is particularly frustrating because the report works fine in Visual Studio - apparently I configured that correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped.
Hi Champs,
Scenario Configuration : VB.net 2005 Code, WebService for Executing SSIS on Server, SSIS deployed on the Database Server
Problem Description : We are developing windows applicaiton in which we call webservice which was deployed on the same server where SSIS packages are deployed.
Now from Code we are passing FilePath name in variable and execute the Package. But the SSis result says that
The file name "\computernamefol1fol2fol3fol4abc.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
More Information:
1. Full Permission are given on this network folder.
2. Package executes successfully from SSIS development solution (BIS solution)
3. Deployed packed executes successfully from the Database Server.
4. From Development pc packege executes successfully.
5. Other packages deployed on the same server executed suucessfully with same configuration and scenario.
Only this package is not executing.
-- the only differece with this package with other is -
using ".txt" extension in Flat file connection and using VB Script task
Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...

hi everyone
what the matrix's class name ?
where is the matrix's dll?
Can i create a new class extends the matrix?
I want to override the matrix's onpaint method.
Can i do this ?
why the table not have the column group?
Hi All,
I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and have successfully created and deployed a Custom Report Item to use instead of the standard Chart Control.
This new Item works fine in both Report Designer (Visual Studio) and when generating Reports on the Report Server
However, I have a requirement that the same chart style must be available in Report Builder. Unfortunately, when using Report Builder to create a new report I can only select Tabular, Matrix or Chart style, and the chart option uses the standard style which is not suitable.
I cannot see any obvious way of including a Custom Report Item within Report Builder, so I have 2 questions :
Can I use a Custom Report Item in Report Builder? None of the samples or tutorials that I have found give any indication of whether this is possible.
Thanks in advance

How would one go about setting the height of a custom report item programmatically?
I have a custom report item that renders back an image of indeterminate height. I cannot simply set RenderItem.Sizing = Image.Sizings.AutoSize; As the image is being rendered back at 300 dpi and will require being set to FitProportional. Therefore I need to set the height to a scale height. I've tried setting CRI.Height to a ReportSize value, but it tells me that I cannot because of the current state of the item.
Hi,
I'm trying to create a custom report item with the action functionality without sucess, in the Process method I create the Action like this:
Action action = Action;
action.SetDrillthroughAction("myreport");
if (imageMapArea.ActionInfo == null)
imageMapArea.ActionInfo = new ActionInfo();
if (imageMapArea.ActionInfo.Actions == null)
imageMapArea.ActionInfo.Actions = new ActionCollection();
imageMapArea.ActionInfo.Actions.Add(action);
m_ImageMap.Add(imageMapArea);
The Action is the property of the interface:
ICustomReportItem
public Action Action
{
get
{
if (m_action == null)
{
m_action = new Action();
return m_action;
}else
return m_action;
}
}
}
When I click in my custom report item I get theses error message: "The source of the report definition has not been specified"
If I change the line:
action.SetDrillthroughAction("myreport");
for this:
action.SetHyperlinkAction(http://www.google.com/);
Every thing works fine. How can I solve this?
I'm developing a Custom Report Item that generates a BarCode.
I developed all control functionality but now the problem resides on the Deploy Process.
For the fisrt time I followed 2 steps to deploy component on Visual Studio:
1) Copy the dll on " Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies "
2) Configure the control in "Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssembliesRSReportDesigner.config"
RSReportDesigner.config
<ReportItems>
<ReportItem Name="BarCodeReportItem" Type="BarCodeReportItem.BarCodeReportRenderer, BarCodeReportItem"/>
</ReportItems>
<ReportItemDesigner>
<ReportItem Name="BarCodeReportItem" Type="BarCodeReportItem.BarCodeReportDesigner, BarCodeReportItem"/>
</ReportItemDesigner>
On the other Hand I configured SQL Server Reporting services doing that:
3) Copy the dll on " Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServerin "
4) Configure the control in "Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer
sreportserver.config"
<Extensions>
....
....
<ReportItems>
<ReportItem Name="BarCodeReportItem" Type="BarCodeReportItem.BarCodeReportRenderer, BarCodeReportItem"/>
</ReportItems>
</Extensions>
5) Configure the control in "Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer
ssrvpolicy.config"
<CodeGroup
class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Description="This code group grants BarCodeReportItem.dll FUllTrust permission. ">
<IMembershipCondition
class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="D:APPSmssqlMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServerinBarCodeReportItem.dll" />
</CodeGroup>
But when I add the control to the toolbox and Drag Drop the control to the Report Designer an error occurs:
"Custom Report Item BarCodeReportItem is not installed"
What Can I Do?
Thanks for all!
I have tried to search on the topic, but there's a variety of answers that has left me a bit confused, so let me try asking a-new...
I have RS 2005 installed (Report Server on one server with IIS and everything else, Integrated Security set; the Report Catalog on a separate server with SQL Server 2005, etc.). So far so good.
I can easily access a few of my test reports using URL Access, and I can also access Report Mgr just fine; all that to indicate I'm pretty sure I have RS installed and setup and working correctly.
Now I have a custom ASP.NET 2.0 based web app that, of course, uses Forms based authentication, not Windows. I can create a hyperlink on one my web pages that uses URL Access to get to some of my test reports. But, of course, it's prompts me for (and seems to remember) domain credentials.
That's the piece I want to avoid. I have created a specific Windows domain account that would be used for this purpose. Now, I just need to figure out code to put in my ASP.NET page to pass that along. I am not using the ReportViewer control.
So, I am trying to find a decent reference/example code on how to set the credentials. I have seen much example code that is like:
//assumes a web reference has been setup...
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
// establish credentials
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
But I don't think I want "DefaultCredentials"... I want to use my custom domain account. Any help?
My other wild idea was creating this custom page in a directory where I could drop in a custom web.config that set the <authentication> element to "Windows" then set the <identity> element to my custom account... any thoughts on that would be appreciated.
Hi,
We are developing a custom report item but we cannot find a way to get the report parameters. In Vb examples there is mentioning of globals but these do not seem to be present in the c# enviroment.
Could anyone give a solution on how to get to the report parameter collection in run-time.
Thanks,

I have created a custom assembly and referenced it and the program builds successfully. When I try to run the report in design mode, it will not render, it throws an exception when it tries to create a PDF. When I remove the assembly, the reports work well. So I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong - does anyone have any suggestions?
namespace Calculations
{
public class calcPercentage
{
public static decimal Percentage(decimal decValueOne, decimal decValueTwo)
{
decimal decPercentage = 0;
if (decValueOne == 0 || decValueTwo == 0)
{
decPercentage = 0;
}
else
{
decPercentage = (decValueOne - decValueTwo) / decValueOne;
}
return decPercentage;
}
}
}
Then in my textbox I put:
=Calculations.CalcPercentage.Percentage(SUM(Fields!PreviousYTDExpenseAmount.Value, "Template_OutputData_Sales"), SUM(Fields!PreviousYTDExpenseAmount.Value, "Template_OutputData_CGS"))
I referenced the assembly and added it to C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies and I still get that error message so I do not know what the problem is.
The line where the exception occurs happens here:
byte[] bytes = MyReport.rvOutput.LocalReport.Render("PDF", null, out mimeType, out encoding, out extension, out streamids, out warnings);
Thanks so much for you help! If you have any suggestions about my next error...i'm all ears!
Hi guys,

WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET(@DateYear, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@DateYear, CONSTRAINED), [Date].[Year].currentmember ), IIF( STRTOSET(@DatePeriod, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@DatePeriod, CONSTRAINED), [Date].[Period].currentmember ) )
CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Parent is the Customer Name, with Drill Down to Product Group.
Is their a way that i can sort this report so the customers with the highest [Measures].[Ordered Lines] for ],[Time Calculations].[MTD] is on the top.
Ive been trying to work out the ORDER command in MDX, but i cannot seem to get it to work..
Any help would be great

I'm looking at creating a custom report item which will allow me to input data into a textbox on the rendered report and dynamically update a textbox or another custom report item once I leave focus of that initial textbox. Is there a way to accomplish this? I have read that you can only create CRIs which use "graphic elements and images". Is that a true statement?
The reason why I don't want to have the initial value as a parameter is becuase the client doesn't want to have to click "View Report" everytime they want to see an updated value.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm currently on the task to develop a custom report item to display date values from a data source in a Gantt-chart-alike way.
I took a look at the documentation and the examples (especially [1]) but the documentation I found mainly concentrated on the case of assigning a single value to a custom property. As far as I can see I need to access the data source directly to retrieve the data I'd like to show. In the best case I could retrieve data sets only from a certain data grouping. But that's where I'm stuck. I realize I have to define the CustomData property in the designer component, but I have no clue what to set for DataRowGroupings, DataColumnGroupings, DataRows and so on.
I hope somebody can point me to some documentation about the contents of the CustomData class. The MSDN documentation I found is utterly incomprehensible to me.
Thanks in advance!

I have to create a custom rendering extension for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I followed the instructions in the MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/02/CustomRenderers/default.aspx
I am running the report server under an administrative account provileges on the local machine (XP Pro SP2).
The Reporting Services is installed for SQL Server 2005 Trial/Evaluation Edition (not expired yet) and has been upgraded to Service Pack 2.
The Report Manager runs under a default ASPNET account.
After deploying the extension according to instructions in the article, I see the custom renderer in the list of available rendering formats in the dropdown in the Report Manager.
However, when I select that renderer and click "Export", a new IE window opens with the following error message:
Server Error in '/Reports$SQLSERVER2005DEV' Application.
That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

My "why is it not working" question basically breaks down to 3 questions:
1. Why does this error say "partially trusted" whereas the new element in the rssrvpolicy.config file explicitly asks for "FullTrust" permissions?
2. Is there any deployment step that I'm missing?
[For now, it's:
- copy-and-paste the dll into ReportServerin directory;
- add a new CodeGroup element to the rssrvpolicy.config file;
- add a new Extension element to the rsreportserver.config file;
- IIS reset;
- Reporting Services service restart.]
3. Also, I checked the deployment instructions in BOL (Deploying Rendering Extension: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154516.aspx), just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
An interesting this is, the BOL article does NOT mention a requirement for adding a new element into rssrvpolicy.config file.
Is this an error in the September 2007 Books Online?
The same error (regarding "partically trusted" - see above) occurs even after I signed the assembly with a strong name key (although this is not mentioned in the articles, but I figured it might be necessary).
Could someone point me in the right direction as to how to properly deploy a custom rendering extension, please?
Thanks a lot!

I am trying to build a report that allows a user to enter partial text that filters the values in a drop down
For examle;
Lets say I am selecting a value from a drop down for States and I want to type in FL to filter the collection down so that only Florida appears in the select list.
I know the above example wont work since I cannot actaully enter text into a drop down, however
I have also tried to seperate this functionality by creating one report parameter for entering the search text and another parameter that will display a filtered data set using the text entered in the first parameter.
Is this something that reporting services can handle ? If it is please provide a brief example.
Thanks

Hi,
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In

edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the
properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid".
In
the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display
data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I
have already created within this UI, and not the actual component
object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
