HI All,
I have created around 150 reports using SSRS. I just made a new data drive subscription(file sharing) using report manager. Now I'm wondering is there any option to make subscription at the higher level? That means instead of subscribing one report by one report , can I do it at the folder lever using report manager without writting a programm?
Thanks
Hello all,We need to reverse engineer a very large application written inPowerBuilder / SQL Server to port to .NET.We have only binaries of application not source code.What are tools / log facilitites / spy appliations that shall allow usto see exact SQL that is being carried by driver to SQL server ? Canwe see that in the ASCII form before it gets complied at Server end?Thanks for your time.- KA

Could someone please advise if the report folder structure I am proposing will be secure enough so unauthorised users can't access the reports?
I have created three folders; Departments (that contains subfolders being one for each department), Sections (that contains subfolders being one for each section), and Open Access. A manager will either see the Department or Section folder and then the relevant subfolder for the area he/she manages.
I have deployed the reports from the Development Studio to the Home page, made them invisible there, but created linked reports that then show in the subfolders. Each subfolder contains a separate linked report and each has parameters set within the Properties tab of SSRS that only enables the manager who will access that subfolder to see the report details specific to their area.
A manager will then be given the browser role for only the subfolder he/she has access to.
I would like to be sure that a manager will not be able to see information in other subfolders. Will my proposed structure be secure enough?
Thanks
trying to install sql server2005 on a windows 2003 server box.
getting msg below at the sql server . i looked at other posts on trying to uninstall SQL Native Access Client and norton antivirus. i could never find the snac on the add - remove programs and this server does not have a virus protection program yet.
here's the history of the installs on the server:
wanted to test a 2005 upgrade so:
1) installed sql server 2000 then sp4 then restored some databases to it - all OK
2) tried to upgrade to sql 2005 but ran into problems and left it at that.
had a disk drive crash on the d drive so lost the installs but not the operating system
when the drive was replaced, left alone for a while
then wanted to test a straight 2005 install
1) removed the broken 2005 attempt
2) removed the 2000
3) installed 2005 and got the error on the subject line:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
i've gone through as many of the forums that i can and have tried several things - like uninstalling 2005 and installing pieces and parts but but nothing seems to work.
Thanks!

i am attempting to run phpbb using ms sql 2005 on the same box but get the following error during the setup
Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
i am not sure yet if this is an issue with sql, php or phpbb
php is installed in iis and has all the modules installed which the php msi installer supported. i can run php code but in this case when i'm running the install.php file for the phphbb setup, i fill in the values for the database and got that error
phpbb detects all the required server settings and sees that i have ms sql installed
any suggestions on what that error means or how to go about configuring odbc driver?
probably a simple issue. but i'm still new with sql stuff
Greetings,
We periodically get the following message in our three server peer-to-peer transactional replication environment:
"One or more subscriptions have been marked inactive. Drop and re-create all subscriptions for this node that are failing with this error."
What causes a subscription to be marked inactive? What properties or settings can be adjusted to minimize or eliminate this occurrence?
Everthing seems to be running OK and then we get the message. It afflicts the higest change volume publication on our slowest overseas server.
Thanks,
BCB
I doubt this is possible, but can someone think of a way to change the email address used for sending report subscriptions based on the report or subscription?
It's a need that I've heard from a number of different clients. Scenario: a company has one reporting services server with reports running from numerous departments. Report subscriptions are sent to internal and external email addresses and there's a business need to use different "from" addresses based on the report (or audience).
I am trying to find a reference for a client that lists the fields available to be substituted into a data driven subscription from the query, along with the expected data types.  For example, the field on whether or not to include a link to the report seems to be expecting a bit data type.I have searched and can't seem to find anything.  I guess I could walk through the interface and try different data types, but if  a list exists, that would be better.Â

Hi
I migrated my system from SQL2000 to SQL2005, now my MDX reports don't want to work with the data-driven subscriptions. The SQL reports run fine.
Any help, comments, or even suggestions will be very welcome.

Is it possible to copy an existing Data Driven Subscriptions and make some minor changes?

I am using Reporting Services 2005 locally for testing purposes and also on a production server. Locally, I can create data-driven subscriptions, but not on the server. The only difference I can think of between my local test environment and the production server is the versions of SQL server database. Locally, I am using SQL server 2005 but on the server I am using SQL server 2000 (but with Reporting Services 2005). Can the version difference be the reason for not being able to use data-driven subscriptions?
Note: I have followed various guidelines and walkthroughs that describe how a data-driven subscription is created, i.e. stored credentials on the report server and such should not be the problem.
Operating systems: locally; Windows XP. Server; Windows Server 2003.
Thanks!

hi all,
i built my report with BIDS, configured my datasource and report. then i deployed it. on http://localhost/reports, I to go to the Report, but under "subscriptions", I don't see the "create data driven subscriptions" button.
however, under properties/datasources of my report, I clearly configured the
"Credentials stored securely in the report server"-setting.
Did I forgot something??????
Thx
Hello,
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am trying to go through the MS tutorials on creating Data-Driven Subscriptions.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms169673.aspx
I have followed the steps multiple times but when I go to add the Data-Driven Subscription, the option is disabled. The report's datasource is setup to use stored credentials and the server Mail is setup. Is there another prerequisite that I'm missing?
I have problem with using a data-driven subscription on a report with subreports. It works fine when I remove the subreport and generates error even when I add a subreport which only consists of one textbox.
I just was curious to know if using data-driven subscription on a report with subreports is supposed to work?
Thanks,
hi guys,
I have created data-driven subscriptions on top of the existing reports on my development server.
I have same reports on QA's report server but without the DD subscriptions.
Is there an easy way to migrate data-driven subscriptions to QA report server or the only way to do is create each subscription manually?
Thankskev
We have a rather large query that takes time to run between each data-driven instance. Is there a way to only send out the first email after the last subscription has finished processing? Any advanced input on data-driven subscriptions .
View 0 Replies View RelatedFirst a bit of background.
We use the Windows-logon to authenticate en identify the user. With this logon we check within most of our reports what a user is allowed to see.
Depending his level or geographical location he is allowed to run reports on one to all sites. He can selects the sites from a Multiple Select box. This works fine.
Now, we want to use data-driven subscriptions, I understand why we can't use this parameter, but how do you people deal with this kind of configurations.
I would prefer not to 'double' the reports in a normal and a subsciption version .....
Hi
I have been asked to move our entire system over from SQL2000 to SQL2005, i eventually got our database and Cubes over to 2005 and converted all my reports to 2005 and deployed them successfully on RS2005
All the subscriptions have been made and they seem to work when i click to view them. Although when i create a DDS for all my reports to run then they fail. Now i've got over 5000 reports to build and i'm definately not going to create each report manually. My SQL Reports huild successfully, it just seems to be the MDX Reports with a problem, i;ve checked my stored procs and they seem fine, i've even seen the [Clients].&[All.Clients] difference from SQL2005 ---->&<------ that is not in SQL2000.
If someone has, or has had the same problem before would you please help me. Any advice or suggestions would be more than welcome.
Kind Regards

Hello,
If I want to access or modify my local subscription data(not the configuration) how can I do that(from sql server 2005 or from asp.net)? Also can i update directly to the local subscriptions data or do I need another layer which will update from a table for example??
Thank you

Hello folks,
Does anybody have experience with e-mail distribution using Data Driven Subscriptions?
I want to build the following:
I have a table with names and e-mail addresses of people in my data warehouse. This table changes over time, more people will be added and data (for example e-mail addresses) can change.
I made 1 report that I want to mail to all the people in the table. This report contains 1 parameter; the e-mail address of a person.
So basically it€™s quite simple: I want to e-mail all the people in the table a personalized (by the parameter) report each month.
Can anybody tell me how I can achieve this with SSRS 2005(SSEE)? I know how to make a data driven subscription but how can I make one pending on the data in a table?
Any help would be appreciated. I will write a blog about this when I've done it so your input will not get lost.

I am looking for a good tutorial on how to set up Data Driven subscriptions through the SharePoint 2012 version of SSRS. I am needing to set up a Data Driven subscription that uses one report, but sends out the specific portion of the report to the appropriate recipients. I have used the information located at URL.... but it doesn't seem to provide all the steps needed to schedule the reports needed. It focuses around setting up the reports to go to shared folder locations. I need something around setting it up to go to email recipients.Â
View 5 Replies View RelatedI dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.

Ok,
I have a network folder called A
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????
Thanks,

Hey!
DDS triggers 3 - 4 times on Report Servers with 15 mints apart..any ideas?
I've got an SSRS report that is set up using a data-driven subscription to supply input parameters to the stored procedure that is called to generate the report results.
I was wondering if there is any way to specify the execution processing method (running the reports in parallel or serially). The subscription that we have set up appears to be running all of the reports in parallel which is causing massive load on our servers.
Thanks.
I have researched this question and so far have found very different opinions as to how or if it is possible.I have created 2 Data-driven subscriptions in SSRS. 1 for our sales persons and another for our managers reports. For the salespersons report, the solution works brilliantly as expected and I can appreciated the increased simplicitly for having 1 subscription to drive reports to a sales staff of over 100 folks.One the other hand, I can't seem to grasp the significance of this type of solution for the Sales managers when they have multiple salespersons that report to them.
Apparently, SSRS 2008 has provided no practical solution for this scenario that would be easily implemented in a Data driven subscription.Since I can't find a way to pass in muliple integer values that represent each of the salesreps for a single manager, I am stuck with potentially sending multiple reports for each of the Sales Reps residing under a single manager. Not very elegant or useful as I'd hoped for using Data driven subscriptions. I have even changed the parameter datatype to string and used something like:
paramSalesPeople = substring((SELECT ( ', ' + CAST(territoryid AS VARCHAR(2000)))
FROM Reports..SalesForce t2
WHERE t1.SalesManagerID = t2.SalesManagerID
ORDER BY SalesManagerID
FOR XML PATH( '' )), 3, 1000 )
To create a comma-delimited list of values for the parameters in effort of generating 1 (ONE) record per Manager. But the Data Driven Subscription fails miserably.So the question, Is it or is it not possible to have multiple values passed as a single parameter to a data driven subscription to consolidate the number of required reports into one. If not, it would seem that it should be possible since it can be done from the reports parameters drop-down menu.I have read someones recommendation to script the multi-valued parameter which seems to defeat the intent of the term "Data Driven' Subscription if I have to hard-code this logic into a script.
I have a set of folders with the following structure:
MainFolder
1999
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
2000
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
etc.
Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.
Thanks,
Sam
