i have a report that is on a subscription to my team members that i want to be rendered in the actual email that they open up. i do not want them to have to click on the pdf or excel attachment to open it up, i just want the content of the report to be in the email itself in outlook.
I have a Reporting Services 2005 report that is emailed to users. I created/formatted the report based on how it looked in Outlook 2003 which all of our users had at that time. The report is wide, but just fit in the email window when it was full size. Now I have a user who has been converted to Outlook 2007 and he emailed me a copy of the report he received in Outlook 2007 and it looks like it reduced the column sizes; it does not fill the entire email window and wraps the wording on most lines because the column sizes have been reduced.
I have to extract, dayly a list of contacts on a exchange server in a table on our EDW on sql server 2005. Is it possible to get the information directly from a dataflow or i will have to developpe a script task ?
First of all, this is not in reference to using SRS (SQL Reporting Services) to render a report and then use one of the extensions to render the complete report as a pdf, tiff, excel etc. We have an opportunity to render a list of claims and then embed the supporting docs for each of the claims within the report. We don't have an issue referencing jpg and gif images via URLs and then rendering them within the report after the grid information. We do have an issue rendering tiff images within the report.
You can insert an image object into SRS at design time and have it render and you can convert a complete report to a tiff image but I cannot find a way to be able to render a tiff image when running the report. All you get is the red "x".
My question is has anyone encountered the same issue and, if so, what did you do to resolve the issue?
I am extracting RS reports through a WebService: report = execService.Render("EXCEL", null, out extension, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamIds);
Some works fine but some are generating the following SoapException:
Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. ---> Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. ---> Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. I set required parameters to their default values. In this specific report I have two required parameters: 1: ReportParameterTime, String 2: ReportParameter1, String
I set them to their default values (ReportParameterTime to "[Czas].[Kalendarzowy].[Rok].&[2007]" - means Time Calendar Year 2007) but I am getting the exception above. I set parameters using this code:
Where parameterValues is a List<ReportExecution2005.ParameterValue>.
When I am using Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer the report is generated without any problems. I can see one parameter to choose: "Kalendarzowy" (means adj. Calendar) and can select years, the default value is "2007".
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this error ? Does anybody know ?
Hello, I'm using Reporting Services to render a text (stored in sql as varchar(max)). The text is all plain text, with some lines having trailing spaces.
Source text file i've imported to SQL via SSIS: CLIENT: 10055 STATEMENT 2007 DATE:1002993 THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3 TRY THIS
*Note the trailing spaces on the line before 'STATEMENT 2007'.
I've designed a report using the Report Project in VS2005 to retrieve this text via a stored procedure. When I test the report using the 'Preview' tab in the IDE, it looks good CLIENT: 10055 STATEMENT 2007 DATE:1002993 THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3 TRY THIS
But when I deploy the report and run it using URL Access:
CLIENT: 10055 STATEMENT 2007 DATE:1002993
THIS IS THE OTHER STATEMENT
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN 3 TRY THIS
On all lines with trailing spaces, they (the trailing spaces) have been removed. This is affecting my formatting of some reports and statements. We really want to use the report viewer as it has built in paging, print and export capabilities.
Why does it look okay in VS2005 but different in Report Viewer via URL Access and Report Manager?
Note: When I export as PDF, it looks okay.
The stored procedure I use to return the data is a CLR Hosted assembly as below:
Code Snippet Partial Public Class StoredProcedures <Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()> _
Public Shared Sub GetPagedDocument(ByVal inText As SqlString) Dim dr As SqlDataReader Dim row As New SqlDataRecord(New SqlMetaData("RowText", SqlDbType.Text)) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select cast(doc as varchar(max)) as 'DOCTEXT' from testdoc WHERE id='" + inText + "'") Dim cn As New SqlConnection("context connection=true") cn.Open() cmd.Connection = cn SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsStart(row) 'initialise the resultset to be returned dr = cmd.ExecuteReader 'If no records in result set, return. If Not dr.HasRows Then
row.SetString(0, "There is no document to display or you do not have permission to view the document.") SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(row) SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd() ' SqlContext.Pipe.Send("There is no document to display.") Return End If 'Read rows in the result set dr.Read()
'Get the entire text Dim docText As String = dr.Item("DOCTEXT") 'debug row.SetString(0, docText) SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(row) SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd() Return 'end debug

My Requirement is to dirctly Print the SSRS Report without using Reportviewer. If anybody know How to Print Report without using Reportviewer, please let me know asap.
I have a requirement to export certain data directly in csv format from the link thats in the report interface.
Though i am able to open new window report from the link by passing the needed parameter is there any way that we can directly open the excel from the link in data table in report..
Hello, I am trying to get a SSRS 2005 report to print from my Visual Studio 2005 C++ application without using the ReportViewer to preview it first. What I have done is created a dll that I call into when I want to access a certain report and print it. While searching around on the internet I found an MSDN article about printing a report without previewing and it had an example in C# code. So I used that as a guide for my C++ code but I am still having problems with rendering the report properly so it can be printed. When I try to render a report using the "Image" format, my streamid string is empty but the byte array that the render routine returns is not. Here is the code I am using, what could be the problem here?
Note: m_Streams is define elsewhere as array<String^>^ m_Streams = gcnew array<String^>(10);
I have a .net application in this application I want to call directly subscription page of a perticular Report through URL. And i want to hide the header section too.Is it possible If not how can i provide this feature of subscription in my application
Is there a way to programmatically save a RS results into Excel format using the render method ?
I had read about that capability but I can't seem to find any sample code on how to do it. Is this a parameter that you have to set in the render method ?
I have been using the following code, (thanks to Shyam), to display address fields. This works great when using preview in BIDS, but the address shows on one continious line when the report is redered in Reporting Services.
what i need to do for my project are as following:
a mobile user send data via GPRS to SQL server Database. then i need to have a method to detect while a particular table is being inserted. and then extract data from table construct a report dynamiclly. what should i do to achieve this goal? e.g. window application, store procedure or trigger ?
PS : client side is a mobile application developed using MCL. i don't in which way he will send all data to SQL server Database, so what i need to do is to monitor new data inserting.
2) how to auto generate and print report directly after record been inserted into the table ? Do i need to import report web service API ? if yes, which one? or i can use other methods e.g. predefine report control view in my window application, turn off pop-up menu while printing a report(I guess)
I was wondering if it was possible to call reporting server web service directly from my sql server stored procedure. The call that I need to make to reporting web service needs to generate the report in a PDF format.
Hi All, I have a report which gets data for around 5 different parameters for 5 servers. It needs to render different graph for each parameter, each server. It renders it properly (after running long though, which can be understandable) on the Visual Studio Preview. But when deployed on the Report Manager, it does not produce the graphs. It runs for long time and ends up with this error:
The following error was encountered: We can not connect to the server you have requested.
This means that: The server might be busy at this time.
The server is not reachable.
Please try later to see if you can go through.
Though I have configured the report execution NOT to time out. As such, subscriptions also do not work, It says, "Failure sending mail: An error has occurred during report processing."
So, has anyone faced similar problem and fixed it? If yes, can you please share the same?
As far as I know there are 2 ways to render the report in a Web page: 1. Using ReportViewer control and call its Render method 2. Using URL access
Which of the method is faster? As we are in the process of increasing the Performance of our Reporting Web Application. I appreciate any suggestions in this regard.
My report is currently rendering about 50,000 rows and can still be increased.I am using SSRS 2005.I am exporting my rdls into HTML,Excel and PDF.My problem is when i export all the rows in PDF it won't continue and an error was produced.It says "Too many results, please constrain your parameters or try the other format."But using the same parameter which brings out the 50,000 rows,it works fine in HTML and Excel.
Which of the 3 rendering extension is the fastest in performance?Could it be HTML?What could be the reason why it wont work on PDF?Can't it contain such bulk record?Or is there anything can be done to solve the problem? If anyone have encountered the same problem,we will be happy to hear from you.Any ideas and comments will be greatly appreciated..Thanks
we are using the sql server 2005 reporting tool and we are trying the render the data into the report. and we are getting this error.basically we are trying to render huge data.
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady)
I am designing a report that creates a letter to send to a named individual. To accomodate different address lengths, additional fields have been added to the db. Is there a method by which if an address filed is empty, it does not display in the redered report and the fields below it are moved up to close the gap?
Is there a way to determine how often a specific report has been viewed by a user? I have 30-40 reports set up (rendering from snapshot), and I'd like to determine which reports are the most frequented.
We have a "Comment" field that is saved as a HTML string to the DB. This field needs to be pulled into a report as rendered HTML.
I know this has been hashed out before, but has anybody found a good solution in the past couple of months?
We are thinking about storing two versions of the Comment in the DB: one with HTML, one as simple text. Has anybody found this an acceptable solution? I know it flies in the face of good DB design, but it seems the quickest, easiest solution...
Any word if this will be fixed in the next major release of SSRS? Can we expect this release any time soon?
I have a report viewer control within a web user control which i am using to display the report. The report has been designed within a Visual Studio Report Server project and it looks fine when previewed here but when i deploy the report to the reporting server the table rows within my report become stretched and there are other formatting issues, the formatting issues occur when the report is viewed from both reporting services server and my webpage. When the report is exported to a pdf from my website it looks fine why is the report not rendering correctly.
Hi, I have this problem on Reporting Services 2005 SP2:
There is a stored procedure that is the source of a dataset in report, this procedure return a recordset ordered by some fileds (es. order by fields1, fields2, ecc...). This procedure also have some parameters, but this isn't important. If I launch the stored procedure in sql server management studio the data are returned in the correct order, instead, when I run the report, the data are showed in wrong order.
Hello! We are having a strange problem with Reporting Services 2005. Our RS server is located in a DMZ with the supporting RS database housed in our internal network. We have a batch of reports that perform well when rendering to browsers in our internal network. However, when accessing these same reports externally, the reports take a very long time to render. The difference between internal vs. external is huge; we are looking at maybe a minute tops to render the report from an internal browser vs. 10-15 minutes from an external client browser. The website and reports are setup for anonymous access, so it shouldnt be an authentication problem.
The RS execution log doesnt indicate much difference between the two. The data retrieval does take a little longer (only a second or two), according to the log, for an external request. But still, the times recorded in the Execution Log dont match at all what we are experiencing for external requests.
The various logs, both for reporting services and IIS arent picking up any anomalies either and Im at my wits end as to what else I can use to try and troubleshoot this problem. Has anyone seen this behavior before, or have any ideas what might shed some light on this?
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)
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!
Ok guys, here's the problem. Normally if I were sorting a report that needed to be rendered to pdf or excel, I'll sort the data in the dataset before loading it into the reportviewer in my code. This is in vb, for example:
But for this particular case, I have to load the data into the report first, because in the actual report I have to combine two columns based on certain criteria (i do this using an expression for a column in my table) , and after those two columns are combined then they must be sorted.
But since the data is already loaded into the reportviewer I can't sort like I normally would, the report is rendered in either excel or pdf so interactive sort is pointless. I can't sort through table or properties or the properties of the text box because both fields are combined and you can only sort based on one field.
I have 2 reports called fundfacts_Full and FundFacts_half and both of them run using the same stored procedure called rpt_FundFacts.
When i run the dataset for both the reports i get 19 records and but when it renders the Fundfact_Full report it shows 18 records. Where as in the fundfact_Half it shows 19 records too.
Can some pls tell me whats going on and why its acting strange, i havent encountered these problems at all.
Hello, I have a table that keeps track of users subscription and unsubscription. If a user has unsubscribed, i need to retrieve the last time the user has subscribed given the field creationdate?????? e.g User1 Subscribed 2008/02/20 User2 Subscribed 2008/02/20 User1 Unsubscribed 2008/02/23 User1 Subscribed 2008/02/27 User2 Subscribed 2008/02/27 User1 Unsubscribed 2008/02/28 Please help!!!
I am building reports using MS Visual Studio, and in the Preview tab I have the Refresh button and a button with a X to stop a report while rendering. However, when I deploy the report to the reporting server and I run it from the application the X button is not there, and users would find it useful sometimes to be able to stop long running reports. Is this a configuration change?
