Is there a way to cause the selection of one parameter to change the value of another parameter? I know I can set defaults but I want to be able to have the selection of one parameter force a change on another.
I have two parameters, one for fiscal year and one for calendar year. When I select a calendar year I want the fiscal year to be set to 'all' and vice versa.
Thanks.
Hi there,
I've just started learning SQL - I already know a bit of VB/VBA and my aim is to become a software developer using both SQL and VB.
One question I have is how would the average programmer go about managing the database? Are SQL commands (queries/add record/make table etc) normally programmed and controlled in VB itself via the docommand.runSQL on the event triggers or are they managed from the SQL Server application themselves? Also, if there are any other comments on how VB works with SQL I'd be very interested to hear them.
My assumption is that the database commands are managed from VB and any automated download/import or export of data into or from the SQL database is scheduled from SQL server itself.
Many thanks for your time in reading.
Does anyone know how you can write a script in DTS to ask the user for data through a prompt e.g. a date range?

I have a complex tree control, which should allow a 'power' user to modify/add/delete information to a database. To simplify coding, I want to make any changes immediately, but within a transaction.
For example:
Begin transaction
Do some changes
Commit transaction
The idea is, at the end of the edit session, the 'power' user then clicks Save or Cancel. I can then commit or rollback as necessary. Sounds easy!
Whilst this is going on, I want other users to be able to read the same tables that are potentially being updated.
I find that the updates are written immediately to the database - rather than being stored in a temporary area. Hence, other users see these changes directly.
I also find that other users cannot always read the tables, as they are locked out pending the updates from the 'power' user. (This works for the first 4 or 5 reads, and then fails intermittently.)
I know this functionality works in Oracle, but the SQL Server documentation suggests this is simply not a supported function.
Any ideas/comments would be appreciated.
Thanks - Jen
hi all,
this is my question:
can a stored procedure interact with a FTP-server that has nothing to do with the database the stored procedure is running from??
I want my stored procedure to delete records in my database AND my FTP-server in the same time..., so also uploaded files which have been uploaded to a FTP-server during the same session when data has been written to my database...???
this is my SP for deleting records in my database:
...
DELETE FROM dbo.tblUploadsIntern WHERE DATEDIFF(dd,GETDATE(), tblUploadsIntern.uplZipfileDateTimeOffline) > 7
END
GO
the code for deleting files on FTP-server works also...
thanks in advance...
I've been playing around with building custom components for SSIS. I've been doing workflow for years (using Java and Oracle). The company I worked for had a framework for publishing data that allowed for user interaction. That's something I'd love to be able to do in SSIS.
Is it possible to create a custom task that interacts with the user at runtime? So, the user starts the SSIS package. At some point, the process pops up a dialog (Windows Form) that asks the user to set a date using a calendar control.
Any thoughts?
Hi everyone,
I have a question related to data flow task's block. Lets say i have a problem to solve that consist of 5 major transformation steps and each transformation step ends with a Result set, this result set of Step1 is required by Step2 and the Result set of step2 is required by 3 ....
now i can solve the the problem inside a single "data flow task" block but this is not my aim, since this is not clean aproach specially if the calculation and transformation requires a lof of task so since i would like to solve the problem in differnt block depending on the complexity and logic of the problem.
My Question is how can I pass Result set of a "data flow task" block from step a to the "data flow task" Block of Step B in the Controll flow view(tab) , i tried connecting both blocks as in the dataflow view(tab) by my connections does not show any metadata informations which mean the do not contains any afaik.
thanks in Advance

Hi all,
I would be very glad if someone can suggest me what techniques I should use in the following scenario:
I have 2 SQL Server databases : DB1 and DB2. DB 1 is on a remote server (hosting server) and DB 2 is on a local server.
Some tables of each db contain tables that are polulated and changed by the appropriate application, i.e.:
DB1.users, DB1.orders,... etc are managed by "webapplication"
DB1.products ... are not managed by "webapplication" : in fact only used to read from
DB2.products, DB2.customers, .... etc are managed by "winapplication"
DB2.orders,....are partially managed by "winapplication"
Since the amount of data can go over 100000 records i'm wondering what would by the best approach to :
- synchronize the data of DB1.products and DB2.products in DB1 on remote server (updated newly added rows and update changed rows,....)
- the products data is only (at the moment) added, edited and deleted on the local server
I think SQLBulkCopy will not do the job. Should it be possible with some query? Or...?
Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Hi,I am new to SQL. Please bear with me and allow me to ask a dumbquestion.I am debugging a stored procedure (written in Trans-SQL), and I foundthat the SQL analyzer that I use doesn't have a debugger. All I cando it is execute a block of code and see what is going on in aninteraction seesion of the SQL analyzer. I would need to declare somevariable to hold values of the previous query in the interactivesession.I understand that this can be easily done in a stored procedure viathe Declare command (e.g., Delcare @order_no int). Is similarfunctionality exists in an interaction session of the SQL analyzer?If so, what is the command. Please advise.Thank you very much for the help.Alex

Hi
I am running into issues with custom objects interaction with visual studio 2005.
1. Custom connection manager.
I am setting the name of the connection manager ( to standardize naming convention ) that user created, however when the CM is created, the name displayed in visual studio is still the default name even if the real name is the one i set. I have to do things like, edit it or save package - close - reopen, create another connection, ... etc in order to get it refreshed.
2. Custom Task
I am managing some variables in this custom task so that I will be adding and deleting variables in the package.
The challenge i am running into is, when I added 2 variables for example, even though the variables are successfully added to package, the Variable Window in visual studio designer will not reflect the new variables. I have to save package, close, and re-open in order for the variables to show up.
So this brings to my question - is there any way to tell Visual Studio programmatically to refresh the contents of these 2 sections, 1 is the Variable Window and the other is the panel containing the list of connection managers.
I have been searching around and found some clue about visual studio SDK but I still cannot find an exact way of doing it. Visual Studio SDK example tells you how you can access the Variable window as
framesList = new List<IVsWindowFrame>();
toolWindowNames = new List<string>();
// Get the UI Shell service
IVsUIShell uiShell = (IVsUIShell)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsUIShell));
// Get the tool windows enumerator
IEnumWindowFrames windowEnumerator;
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(uiShell.GetToolWindowEnum(out windowEnumerator));
IVsWindowFrame[] frame = new IVsWindowFrame[1];
uint fetched = 0;
int hr = VsConstants.S_OK;
// Note that we get S_FALSE when there is no more item, so only loop while we are getting S_OK
while (hr == VsConstants.S_OK)
{
// For each tool window, add it to the list
hr = windowEnumerator.Next(1, frame, out fetched);
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(hr);
if (fetched == 1)
{
// We successfully retrieved a window frame, update our lists
string caption = (string)GetProperty(frame[0], (int)__VSFPROPID.VSFPROPID_Caption);
toolWindowNames.Add(caption);
framesList.Add(frame[0]);
}
}
But i looked up the methods for IVsWindowFrame and it does not have anything to refresh the contents of the frame.
I thought about firing events but cannot find which one to fire.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

This problem is being seen on SQL 2005 SP2 + cumulative update 4
I am currently successfully using the output clause of an insert statement to return the identity values for inserted rows into a table variable
I now need to add an "instead of insert" trigger to the table that is the subject of the insert.
As soon as I add the "instead of insert" trigger, the output clause on the insert statement does not return any data - although the insert completes successfully. As a result I am not able to obtain the identities of the inserted rows
Note that @@identity would return the correct value in the test repro below - but this is not a viable option as the table in question will be merge replicated and @@identity will return the identity value of a replication metadata table rather than the identity of the row inserted into my_table
Note also that in the test repro, the "instead of insert" trigger actually does nothing apart from the default insert, but the real world trigger has additional code.
To run the repro below - select each of the sections below in turn and execute them
1) Create the table
2) Create the trigger
3) Do the insert - note that table variable contains a row with column value zero - it should contain the @@identity value
4) Drop the trigger
5) Re-run the insert from 3) - note that table variable is now correctly populated with the @@identity value in the row
I need the behaviour to be correct when the trigger is present
Any thoughts would be much appreciated

Hello,
since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest]
@Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS
BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON
set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table'
if (@Name <> '')
begin
set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + ''''
end
EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery
end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created:
-the shared data source with the connection String
- a data set :
CommandType = Stored Procedure
Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest
When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter...
So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name
allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
What is wrong? What I forgot??
Thankx for any help!

I am working on existing ssrs report. When I see the preview I could see the extra parameter than the actual parameter.
How do I know , when this parameter is coming in the preview ?
I have two report , first is main report which is matrix and have one parameter User_ids which is multi value selection and my second report is basic chart of user_wise performance.
Now, my main report (matrix ) works fine for Multiple selection of users and i have putted one textbox on main report chart which has action properties set for chart report, when user click on chart button it must goes to chart with user selected in main report. Now , i have used expression for parameter to send it like ..
=join(parameter!user_id!value,",") which pass selected value to chart
And when I am selecting single user it passing that value to chart parameter list but , when it is more than one user it errors with conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '121,128' to data type int. But my chart also works when passing 121,128 in user parameter in preview of report .
Hi,
I need "conditional" cascading parameters: In Report Manager when one changes parameter 1, parameter 2 get changed based on parameter 1. Optionally, one can also enter values to parameter 2 directly.
I was able to achieve this in SSRS 2000 (SP2) with the following setups. SSRS 2005 and SP1 no longer works - Parameter 2 always shows its default value regardless whether one select a value in Parameter 1 or not.
Parameter 1
available values: from query
default values: non query (specify a value "<None>")
Parameter 2
available values: Non query (no value specified)
default values: from query (based on Parameter 1)
It seems to me that the default value in SSRS 2000 is considered as cascading parameter. But it is no longer the case in SSRS 2005.
Is this a SSRS 2005 bug? is there any other work arounds or suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters).
Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension .
Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007".
But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All".
Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
Thanks !

my dataset from sharepoint list. and this dataset value assign to parameter. i want when no any parameter is selected than it should filter like "ALL". when i select alow null value it give me prompt error you can not select null in multivalue parameter.How can i do it. i am using share point list.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if this is possible right out of the box in SSRS 2005 against an OLAP data source?
I have several parameters. My second parameter is to be filtered based on the first parameter (kinda like cascading), but how do I do this against an OLAP data source? Lets say I have param1 and param2 in a dataset. I want Param2 to show the locations only based on what I select in Param1.
Same but a little different: I have Parameter1 and then my second parameter (Param2) is a boolean (True/False). I want to show Parameter 3/Paramater 4 based on selection of Param2 (So, if true, show Param3, if false, show Param 4) and remember we are doing this in a sequence.
Can you do this thru SSRS? Any help would be great.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value?
Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)...
I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school.
I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table).
I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school.
Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up...
The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'.
The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid.
...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter?
Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you
I am using reporting services 2012, Can we make visibility of report parameter dynamic, ie can we make parameter visible or hide on certain condition or its visibility depends on other parameters Is this feature available in any other updated version of ssrs?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two parameters both are related to each other.
second parameter should get filled based on the selection of the first one which is project.
the first paramater is project, once the project is selected it should bring the all the contracts related to that project.
Please is it possible...
Thank you very much for all the helpful info.
I had thought that this was possible but I can't seem to figure out the syntax. Essentially I have a report where one of the parameters is populated by a stored procedure.
Right now this is easily accomplished by using "exec <storedprocname>" as the query string for the report parameter. However I am not clear if it is possible to now incorporate User!UserID as parameter to the stored procedure. Is it? Thanks
I would like to be able to adjust the multi-value property of a parameter based on the value of another parameter in my report. The controlling paramter would be binary with two options for Single or Multiple selection. I would like my parameter to default to multi-value, which I can do on the screen selection. I have tried to add an IIF statement to the XML code, with no success. Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
I am using report builder 3.0.
I have a report parameter called para1 which is a drop-down list and what I want to do is display another report parameter based on the para1 selection.
So for example, para1 contains a, b, c choices. if a user selects b, I would like para2 to display but if the user selects a or c, I don't want the para2 to display.
Using SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0..I have an action set in a text box of a table. My intent is to pass the value of that text box (which is variable) to a sub-report in a popup window. Here's my code: URL....The parameter of the report I'm trying to open is @SONum.I'm guessing my error is involved in the formatting of how the value of the parameter is being passed. I've also seen examples where the report server and report values were parameterized, but I don't know where to define
Parameters!ServerAddress.Value anywhere.Do I need to have something set up a certain way within the report I'm opening? Here's the report Parameter settings on the report I'm trying to open.
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?

After running my ssis pkg for some time with no problems I saw the following error come up, probably during execution of a stored procedure ...
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "The formal parameter "@ReportingId" was not declared as an OUTPUT parameter, but the actual parameter passed in requested output.".
I see some references to this on the web (even this one) but so far they seem like deadends. Doe anybody know what this means? Below is a summary of how the variable is used in the stored proc.
The sp is declared with 21 input params only, none of them is @ReportingId. It declares @ReportingId as a bigint variable and uses it in the beginning of the proc as follows...
Code Snippet
select @ReportingId = max(ReportingId)
from [dbo].[GuidToReportingid]
where Guid = @UniqueIdentifier and
EffectiveEndDate is null
if @ReportingId is null
BEGIN
insert into [dbo].[GuidToReportingId]
select @UniqueIdentifier,getdate(),null,getdate()
set @ReportingId = scope_identity()
END
ELSE
BEGIN
select @rowcount = count(*) from [dbo].[someTable]
where ReportingId = @ReportingId and...lots of other conditions
...later as part of an else it does the following...
Code Snippet
if @rowcount > 0 and @joinsMatch = 1
begin
set @insertFlag = 0
end
else
begin
update [dbo].[GuidToReportingId]
set EffectiveEndDate = getdate()
where ReportingId = @ReportingId
insert into [dbo].[GuidToReportingId]
select @UniqueIdentifier,getdate(),null,getdate()
set @ReportingId = scope_identity()
end
...and before the return it's value is inserted to different tables.
I have created a menu report listing available reports and am setting the Jump to settings of each text box in the list to take the user to the relevent report. But I am having a problem setting up drill down to reports with multivalued parameters.
What I want to happen when the user drills down is for the report to open up with no parameter values selected. This works for single value parameters where I have set Null as the default value. But I have not been able to figure out how to do this with MVPs. Does anybody know if this is possible?
As a workaround I have been using Jump to URL (rather than Jump to report), which has no problem opening the report without having to pass any values for the MPV. But I do not like using this as I use different DEV/UAT and PROD environments so would have to amend the URL for each environment.
Seems like this should be possible... Any idea?
Cheers, Mike
PS: I should add I can Jump to reports with MVP without specifying a parameter in development studio but not when the report is published.
Hi All.
I have a parameter (hidden) that gets its value using an expression base on another parameter.
When in the designer, the first time when the designer loads I can select the Parameter that controls the child parameter (expression lies in the default value section). The value changes.
When I change the parent parameter again, the value of the child parameter does not seem to change.
How can I make this parameter change automatically when the parent is changed ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am starting to use reporting services and I created a report that takes 4 parameters for a Filter on the dataset.
The idea is the create snapshot nightly and then display the report filtered based on parameters to users.
I'd like that the filter be ignored for a parameter if the parameter is passed as NULL,
Right now I defined it this way :
Left =Fields!RegionCode.Value
Operator =
Right =IIF(IsNothing(Parameters!RegionCode.Value),Fields!RegionCode.Value,Parameters!RegionCode.Value)
I do this for the 4 parameters that are passed, if they are null, make then equals to the field.
I was wondering if there is a way to ignore the whole parameter all together, I would guess it'll be faster to execute.
Thanks
