Deploying Pdfs
Jan 30, 2008
Newbie question for which I ask your patience:
I had set my ProjectpropertiesTarget Server URL some time ago and now need to deploy additional files in specific folders and cannot remember how to map a url back to a file location. I have searched for the deployed files on target server and have not found them.
Can someone explain how SSRS deploys; does it physically place files on the target server (.pdfs)? Suggest how I can map the URL back to a directory location on some server?
thanks, MDM

Quick question...
Is a report rendered as PDF, a real PDF?
I want to deliver reports for an application we are developing via or current ECM system. I need the report to be full text indexed. A TIFF wrapped in a PDF isn't always the best thing for full text indexing.

Hello, I have a report that looks fine in preview, but when put to PDF or printed contains gaps at the right and bottom.
Here is a picture of the problem: http://northeasttigers.webng.com/pdfproblem.jpg
My tables are the same width as the body, 15.5cm, and the report width is 21cm. Also adding the bottom table's top location attribute to it's height gives the same height as the body.
Any help much appreciated.

Does anyone know if SQL 2008 Reporting Services will support generating secure PDFs?
We have seen that there are expensive 3rd party plug ins. We are not as interested in using a 3rd party plug in, because they tend to be costly and then there are maintenance issues (and in that case we may as well stick with our current separate reporting tool rather than converting to Reporting Services), but any other suggestions as to how to accomplish this in reporting services would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm building a system when one can upload a document to the website.I will be storing the document on the hard-drive for quick/easy access,but I was also thinking of storing it in an existing database since mostof the sites information is all stored there.As well there would be only one place to worry about backing up. And ifthe file on the hard-drive was ever missing or became corrupted, I couldrestore it form tha database. Is this feasable?

I have recently converted reports from Crystal Reports 10 to RS 2005. These reports are run daily via a SQL job and exported to PDF files, where users are able to view them.
A user pointed out to me that in the PDF's exported from Crystal Reports, they could select text, starting with the first row of data, and highlight each row by dragging the Adobe Selection tool down the page, row by row.
Now, with the PDF's exported from RS, when you try using the selection tool to highlight each row by dragging down the page, it appears to randomly highlight rows in no particular order.
Anyone know what the problem might be?

I have a report that I'd like to involve in delivering tons of PDFs for each of our customers for a billing cycle. There is a table that the report reads from that gives it all its data necessary for the report (which is a customer bill) and the table also has a column that has the file name for the PDF for that particular customers bill for the report. Basically each table row represents one output report (bill) and each table row has its name nicely formated for me. Writing the report is not a problem. Figuring out how to run through thousands of rows generating a PDF for each with the file name from the table is my challenge.
I would like to create either a SP or a SSIS package (that is scheduled) that can run a report for each line of data in my table and spit out a PDF file to a UNC path. It might have to generate thousands of PDFs to a UNC path that has plenty of space. There will be another SSIS package that moves the PDFs later to their proper directory.
So, is there someone who has done this before? Any suggestions? Is there a quick path to doing this, would it take a ton of time? Any tutorials out there?
Thanks,
Keith
p.s. My preference is to do this in SP's or SSIS and if I need a .NET language to do that in VB.NET, but I'd rather avoid that if I can.

I have been fighting with Reporting Services all day, and despite setting the PDF output quality to 300DPI, I have noticed that the image quality appears to be only 96DPI. I've noticed this because images with a size set for 300DPI are too large for the page, and images set for 96DPI fit just right.
Could someone please tell me if this is a limitation of Reporting Services 2005, or am I just doing something wrong?
I need to know this because I am up against a deadline with this project. I had ran several tests with Reporting Services but had never had assumed there would be problems with image quality.
Is there any other product that offers similar features to Microsoft Reporting Services that you could recommend?
My luck has not been very good with this project, and I'm assuming the response is going to be 96DPI is all that is supported...

hi all! i'm new and hoping you might help me - have searched E V E R Y W H E R E for this answer!!
--my ASP program is running on IIS box (call it "Lucy")
--my ASP program connects to SQL Server 2000 db on another box (call it "Linus") consisting of .doc, .xls, .PDF and the like
--all's well EXCEPT when PDFs are returned! sometimes browser gives blank screen instead of PDF <?> i figure iFilter will "cure" this.
--question:
WHICH SERVER should iFilter be installed on? Lucy (where IIS is running & ASP program is) or Linus (where SQL Server does its full text indexing)?
thanks in advance for any & all help!!

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.

Hi All,
I am adding a reporting suite to our application based upon SSRS 2005 and I am looking for a comprehensive example of how I go about deploying this.
Essentially I want to automate the entire process:
Create the DB, Create the Virtual Dirs, add my reports etc.
I have looked at the documentation and it is limited to say the least. I went down the route of attempting to script the whole thing and after 3 days of it I was still stuck on a few problems so I was hoping that someone knows of an example of how to go through all of these processes.
An example of the problems I ran into is that the "CreateVirtualDir" method on the reporting services WMI objects simply didn't work. It didn't return an error but it didn't create the Dir either!
The documentation around this method and most others is ambiguous and contains no examples.
I then went down the route of using IIS WMI to create the dirs which worked but then I was unable to update the Reporting Services configuration to pick this up without resorting to changing the config files directly - and even when I did this they didn't always seem to be picked up.
So at present instead of giving our guys in deployment a 1 click install they have a 9 page document explaining the install and set up of Reporting services from start to finish.
Any help or more thorough documentation would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dhugal.
PS: Just to add I have already altered our install to install the RS module along with SQL Server so that bit is covered. I just want to script the entire configuration process.

We're about to ship a product, and we've used access to develop it to make things easier, but we want to use MSDE.
I've never had any luck with MSDE -
1. I can import the database into a sql server database in enterprise manager, is there a way to import a database into a msde database in interprise manager?
2. what would I do in the installer? I need to install the msde engine right? and then run sql scripts on the engine?
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for an effective technique for this scenario:
We have a program that generates 200 custom Paradox databases every night, and these are shipped to 200 sales offices (on Win98 machines). We would like to convert from Paradox to MSDE (baby SQL).
The data is relatively large (some offices > 100 MB) so efficiency is important, both for data generation, data transmission and/or data loading. Currently we zip files so the large 100MB ones are <20MB during transmission.
Is it best to: 1) output flat files, zip them, transmit, and then have an automatic load procedure (using bcp) on the Win98 clients; or 2) create the MSDE databases locally, zip them, transmit, and then db_attach the database file on the Win98?
Has anyone a successful experience doing this sort of thing?

Hi Well this is my first post on this forum, in fact I have not even used SQL Server yet!
My question is.... I have been asked to produce an application which will be a VB6 application with an SQL Server database behind it. I would like to be able to put the application along with the database on to a CD and run them directly from the CD once it is distributed. So the question I guess is can this be done with SQL Server i.e. can a table be exported in a format which will allow it to be queried in a standalone fashion? Maybe I have not explained myself properly but I welcome any questions which will help clarify my problem.
Thanks Red

I am having problems deploying my web site from my machine to the hosting server.
Does any know of any special configurations that have to be perfomed before copying your web site to a server? All I have is a login in page that loads another page. The login page is launching okay but it does not load the second page.

I'm having a little bit of trouble deploying the report project I have set up. In fact, I'm not even sure that deploying the project is what I want to do. All I want is to have something so I can view the report I've created in HTML or PDF form, something that was advertised when I downloaded the reporting services. Any help with what I would need with this would be appreciated.

I've got a report project with a few reports in I want in the root target directory. I also want to create several folders and put reports in those. The problem is I don't see any way to create a report folder in VS. I also don't see any way to pick the deployment path of a single reprot in VS. This makes me think I'll have to create a different Report Project in VS for each folder!! (this sucks). Does anyone have an idea or suggestion here?

Just wondering what people do when they deploy sub reports and what is the 'best practise' for this. I'm just deploying them to the same folder as the main report and hiding them.
This is, to say the least, messy. As a user has to click 'Show Details' and they can see the sub report.
Is there a better way?
Thanks

I used VWD 2005 Express to create my web application (that uses a sql 2005 database), and now I'm trying to deploy it. I was to understand that all I had to do was to upload all my files to the root folder and the web host's server (webhost4life.com). However, they require me to upload the sql 2005 db to a seperate sql server using a control panel that is very clunky. Does anyone know how to upload the sql 2005 db to the host server or an online tutorial where I could go to learn? Thanks for the help!

Rank newbie to ASP.NET here, so I'm totally "at sea" as to finding a "cookbook" for "how to deploy" a slightly customized version of the "Personal Web Site" project.
My hosting service has an ASP.NET database installed. I can verify from their "SQL Server Web Admin" package that there are 11 "aspnet_" table names present. I have run the "personal-add.sql" script which has defined two (empty) tables -- "Albums" and "Photos".
CONFUSION 1: The hosting service includes a Help fille for "Connecting to a SQL Server Database Using ASP.NET 2.0" which details the way to add 'connectionStrings' for "Personal" and "LocalSqlServer". I have made a "remote" copy of the "web.config" file and supplied the ostensively correct info for my Server, Database, User ID and Password. QUESTION: Why are there TWO names -- "Personal" and "LocalSqlServer"? Since all of the tables are contained now within the ASP.NET database are the details for both of these to be the same?
CONFUSION 2: Error handling. I'm getting "An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine." Huh!? That page then goes on to mention "<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>". I've not a clue as to what "mycustompage.htm" should contain in order to field the error[s] erupting.
POINTERS, anyone? Have I missed some basic part of the manual[s] someplace? I was sort of hoping that there would be a simple "cookbook" around someplace for how to "deploy" a relatively tested group of pages (application) in a relatively idiot-proof manner. I'm not finding it, so ANY pointers, hints, URLs will be greatly appreciated.

Since from using my local host to view my website, I am assuming I already have SQL Server installed on my computer? Is it possible to have users access my website files directly onto there own computer, say if they type my ip address or domain name into their address bar? What I am actually wanting to do is to host my website from my home computer... Any ideas, or good slash easy to understand articles on how to do this?

I'm working on a web application that uses SQL Server 2000. Once I'm ready to upload my website to a production server, I need to know how to upload my SQL Server database files to the server. Are there actual files that can be uploaded? I've only deployed a website that works with MySQL to a production server, and there were no files to upload... the database had to be created on the server, and then the data itself had to be exported to text files (on my computer), then imported/uploaded to the production server using SQL statements...
How do I do this?
Thanks~
