hey guys, have a problem with installing the sharepoint 2007 add in for Reporting services.
It goes through the install and ends with that the install was interrupted. The error is
SSRSCustomActionError: SharePoint is installed, but not configured.
I have looked this up on the net, but havn't found any answers. I have made sure the site collection admin is the same as the user trying to install the add-in, but it just keeps failing.
I have reporting services on 1 machine and moss 2007 on a different server,
it is a clean install of moss 2007 and is fully configured and operational.
the inetpub directory is on the D: instead of the C:.. dont think this would be an issue
does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening and what i can do to fix it.
I have downloaded and was trying to install the Reporting Services Sharepoint web part. As mentioned in the installation instructions I have uninstalled the previous version and then started the install. After starting to install the installation Rolls back and fails.
I have checked the logs and i get the error
The web configration file, C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions12configwebconfig.dlc.xml, does not have element "configuration/configSections/sectionGroup[@name='SharePoint']" or it is invalid.
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?
Does anyone know the location of Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll after you install the web part? 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.
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)
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
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?

Is it possible to install and configure the MSDTC resource in a SQL Server 2000 cluster after SQL is installed and running?
When I recently went through a rebuild of my cluster, I forgot to install the resource before installing SQL Server. Now, if I install and bring online the MSDTC resource the SQL disk groups will not fail over correctly. The SQL Server resource will not come online.
Thanks in advance for any help. I would really like to avoid rebuilding again.
Hi all, Im new here so il start with a little introduction of myself, My name is Arjan im 19 years old from Holland, and i work for a company to compleet my ICT Education.
My situation:
My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.
So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!
ps if their is information or logs that u need in order to help me just say so :-)
Hi all, we have a SQL 2000 database which is for recording job information. we are trying to do a sharepoint page that will show all outstanding jobs with conditionl formating to hilight overdue jobs red. we have managed to do this by date with no problem but we are unable to do this by time.
We have created a view that sharepoint looks at for the needed fields. the job due time field only has the time entered in which means the default date of 01/01/1900 gets entered by the system.
we need away that the only the time is outputted in the sharepoint view and a way to apply conditional formatting to this field in sharepoint and a way to compare the this time to the current system time.
I hope this makes sense, as we are complete novices when it comes to SQL. Please ask if you need any more information.
Any help or a point in the right direction would be deeply appriciated.
Sharepoint Server Portal 2007, MSSQL 2005, Reporting Services
When I try to integrate Reporting Services in Adminitsrator, for url of RS I write this: http://servername/ReportServer/ and click OK.
But when I try to go to 'Set Server defaults' or 'Managed Shared Shedules' I get this:

Hi, I had already setup a SharePoint 2007 Server with a SQL Server 2005 in the same machine. I cloned the full computer and now my SharePoint clone is pointed to use the old SQL Server.
How I change my cloned SharePoint to use my cloned SQL Server?
The old configuration diagram OLD_COMPUTER - SharePont 2007 --> (pointed to) OLD_COMPUTER SQL Server OLD_COMPUTER - SQL Server
The actual configuration diagram NEW_COMPUTER - SharePont 2007 --> (now pointed to) OLD_COMPUTER SQL Server NEW_COMPUTER - SQL Server
The desired configuration diagram NEW_COMPUTER - SharePont 2007 --> (pointed to) NEW_COMPUTER SQL Server NEW_COMPUTER - SQL Server
I originally installed SQL Server 2005 and configured Reporting Services to run on a different port and website and all worked fine. I can access it via localhost:15540/reportserver and also use BI Development Studio to creat and publish reports.
I updated to SQL Server 2005 SP2, selected SQL Server integration on Reporting Services Configurator, created a new Report servcies database. Now when I go to localhost:15540/reportserver, the reports I had previously had available do not show... that may be ok?
However, I go to Sharepoint 3.0 Central Admin, no entry for Reporting Services show under App Management. Should it?
I also notice that link localhost:15540/reports no longer work... Where should I be able to go to get access to the same functionality.
I guess I am a little confused as to what the integrated mode should do for me. All I really wanted the capability to do was use the report viewer from inside sharepoint.
I used the rsactivate tool and it said the command completed successfully. I tried to verify that everything was setup by going to the site http://localhost/reportserver and I get this error:

I've tried 3 times to integrate RS in Sharepoint and I always have the same result. I can't see the new section in sharepoint central administration under application management. I didn't get any errors while installing any of the components.
RS and Sharepoint are on the same machine and I carefully followed the step to integrate RS in Sharepoint
It looks like I'll be assigned with development and database management utilizing Microsoft Office Sharepoint Services and saw that there are some issues as it can become quite unwieldy.
I was wondering what difficulties to expect from MOSS and/or Sharepoint in terms of managing and backing up. Any tips or suggestions?
I know this is not SQL server related. Do anyone know good Third-party tools to backup sharepoint 2007? I have looked at www.avepoint.com and ideras tools but didn't find price listings. I am looking which has reasonable price and efficient. Only xpurt ownly
Hi, I'm new to the forum and also to SQL Server. Has anybody implemented SharePoint Windows Services on top of SQL Express? I'm trying just that, but i'm encountering some problems when trying to enable Full-Text search. The configuration page for this option says that the database i'm running on does not support full-text search. Thanks in advance,
I found out the battery in my UPS isn't working anymore. My server down a couple of times with power outages before I figured out it wasn't doing its job.
I make backups of my Sharepoint databases using the gui interface in Sharepoint, so I have backups and have used them for a couple of the outages.
What I was wondering (I'm a newb to SQL), if I do a checkdb and get no errors when the databases (sharepoint_config and sharepoint_data) are marked suspect, is there an easy way to get them back online without using the backups. The only reason I ask, there is data entered in the 23hrs (daily backups) since the last backup that I wouldn't mind keeping.
Also, I seem to have gotten (from reading some of the posts here) my sharepoint_config stuck in emergency mode and can't find a post on how to get it back to normal/online mode ;)
i have written so many queries in sql 2000/2005 and now i have to integrate them into sharepoint which i have never done..can anyone guide me how it can be done? or where i have to post this question? the correct forum?
Hi guys. Im having alot of trouble with this. I have created a simple access database, uploaded to a doc library on a sharepoint site. Then I made a infopath form based on this by using the url: //207.245.47.37/sites/Safety_and_Training/ai/db2.mdb
I succeeded in creating the form. I then published it onto the sharepoint site. Now, when I try to fill out the form so the database can be filled in, I hit submit and it opens up a ADO warning telling me that the website is using my identity to connect to the datasource, I hit ok and then I get another window saying "Please enter MS JET OLE DB Initialization." In the fields it has 1) Datasource is \207.245.47.37sitesSafety_and_Trainingaidb2.mdb, the 2)username is Admin, 3)password is blank, 4)provider string is blank and the 5)open mode is on DB_Mode_Readwrite.
1. One thing I tried is in the username and password I give my administrator login as CorpdynatecRGill, and then the password I always use to login onto the site. It then gives me:
InfoPath cannot connect to the data source. Not a valid account name or password.
2. Next thing I try is just leaving the username as admin and password blank but then I get the message:
InfoPath cannot connect to the data source. The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\207.245.47.37sitesSafety_and_Trainingaidb2.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I think it might have something to do with the permissions, but nothing has been working yet. Please help me.
Is there a way to "serve" up reports in a SharePoint-like way without using SharePoint?
I am part of a team of ASP.NET developers that are writing our own pages, but I haven't been able to find information about Reporting Services 2005 in ASP.NET and/or using Web Parts on our own pages.
Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to get data from WSS lists by web services. I think there are two ways:
- using SSIS standard components (Web Service Task) and - creating a custom source adapter.
My problem with the Web Service Task is, that the WSS method GetListItems has some non-standard parameters (see part from wsdl-file below). Thus, after selecting the method in the editor an clicking on "Ok", I get the error message "The selected Web method contains unsupported arguments". I think the problem is the missing type-attribute.
I'm having troubles connecting the webparts on SharePoint 2007. I installed the RSWebParts package from SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on my MOSS 2007 box. The installation went smoothly and I can add both Report Explorer and Report Viewer on a page. But when I try to connect RE to RV I get the following error:
An unexpected error has occurred.
Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.
So I have to go to the maintenance page and remove the web parts.
Have anyone managed to bypass this and make them work together?
I have SharePoint set up with the reporting services add-in on one box and Reporting Services in Integrated mode on a separate box. I thought I had it set up correctly, but when I try to deploy a simple ReportModel to the report server from VS 2005, I get the error, "A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/ReportServer." I looked in the log files (C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesLogFiles) and found the error shown below.
I know I must have missed something in either the installation or configuration, but when I look through the SharePoint Central Admin pages and the Reporting Services Configuration Manager everything seems fine.
Thanks,
Cynthia

I have a report in sql that i would like users in sharepoint to be able to subscribe to, however when i try to subscribe to the report i get the following error -
The current action cannot be completed because the user data source credentials that are required to execute this report are not stored in the report server database. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting).
i would like to know whether there is anyway to load the content of a Sharepoint(2007) List from a SQL server database.
have tried as a workaround to make Access database(.acc db) as a source for the List so that when changes made to the .accdb, automatically it reflectes the sharepoint list.
so i tried to make use of ssis 2005 to dts data from SQLserver db(Source 1) to .accdb(Destn1), then from Destn1 the SPList would receive data.
the Object that accdb supports to SPList is of Sharepoint List type i am not able to DTS data from sql server to accdb.
I have XP Professional and my IIS is installed and works fine because i can browse to http://localhost.
But when I go to http://localhost/ReportServer, I get the error below:
"Server Application Unavailable" The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request. Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur."I've struggled almost a day with it, researched on the internet and so on.... Is it possible that this is because I don't have Sharepoint Services installed????
And SharePoint services is not standard in Windows XP Professional???? So I can not use the ReportServer????
I am trying to get a simple SSRS Report containing a subreport to work in Sharepoint SSRS Integrated mode but have been unable to do so. I get "Error: Subreport could not be shown" message
The main report does nothing but host the subreport (if I get working, eventually main report will host multiple subreports (graphs))
In Visual Studio online help for Subreports I find:
Subreport
Type or select the name of the subreport to include in the report.
For a report published to a report server configured in SharePoint integrated mode, use a fully qualified URL including the file extension. Relative paths are not supported. For example, http://<SharePointservername>/<site>/Documents/Report1.rdl.
I have tried entering in the FQ URL, but Visual Studio will not compile the report then as it errors saying:
[rsInvalidReportNameCharacters] The ReportName for the subreport €˜TestSubReport€™ is not valid. Item names cannot contain the following reserved characters ;?&=+$,*<>|".
is there any example how to extract values from a SharePoint list? I searched in Google but I only found something about that someone failed using the web service task for it... If possible I would like to get around any custom .net code (Scripts would be OK), but if I can't get around that, I have to follow that path...
I'm not sure this is possible, but... I was asked to write a SQL Reporting Services Report that reports on a SQL table that is joined to a Sharepoint Table. In trying to look up how to do this, I'm not finding any how-to posts. Is this possible and if so, could you point me in the direction of a step-by-step how -to white paper?
