I'm creating my first report.
I do "new project" > "report server project".
Thereafter I create my shared datasource.
Thereafter I try to add a new report.
It ask to enter my querry.
I've built up my querry previously with the querry analyser in SSMS, and there it runs quite fast.
But when i copy-paste the querry in the reporting designer, and i choose to preview it, it takes more then 20 minutes.
however, my querry it quite big, but i've written querries ten times larger in my life.
(it's about 50lines: 10 querries, union-ed together and in each one i have 4 innerjoins.... all tables are even almost empty, so it's not that indexes are missing or whatever)...
is it known that in the report designer querries are much more slower????
I'm encounter lately some weird behaviour of SSRS in BIDS as well as after deploying on Reporting Server. I'm running basic classical SQL SSRS Reports with Oracle DB connection. My reports have header and footer pagination and well defined report layer configuration. All the reports are simple based on one table and some basic parameters passed to query.
In query builder from BIDS from data tab, the query is running fine without any other execution delays. Also the query is runnign fine in PL/Dev environment. When I switch in "Preview" mode the report hangs in execution and just showing "Report is being generated" without any resuts. After a while is generating an execution error (after 20 min).
The behaviour is the same after deployment on Report Server . I now...here it comes...the problem is intermitent...some times the report is working...but most of the times it hangs on execution. I checked the report from top to bottom and nothing's wrong from design perspective.
On other reports I don't have this problem and I don't understand where to start to investigate.
After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
I created a custom assembly using C# to transform some binary data into text, and in this assembly I used one win32 dll developed by our customer to help me to do the tranformation. The code I used to call the win32 dll is like below: [DllImport("tdasuie.dll", EntryPoint = "AlrtLogConditionToText", ExactSpelling = false, CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)] private static extern UInt32 AlrtLogConditionToText(Byte[] pbCondition, StringBuilder pszText, UInt32 dwSize);
I defined a C# method to call the above win32 method and return a string. Then in the report, I called this C# method to get the correct string.
In the report designer, the C# method in the custom assembly can return the correct string in the preview window. But after I deployed the report into the report server, the textbox will only display "#error" in the report manager web page.
I have three types of specific reports that i have to create with the input parameters (range) either
1: By date (rdl 1)
2.By Month (rdl 2)
3.By Year (rdl 3)
Is it possible ( or how do I ) to create just one report template ( one rdl) with the three sets of parameters ( hiding/invisible which ever two sets base on user selection) and the output of the report will display the desired type( either by year, month or date).
I ask this because its possible to create a drill down report from year down to date etc in report designer (vs 2005). Not sure if I can create one instead of three rdls and with the 'logic' built within that template.
Hi, I dont know if theres a way to print a section of some report, for example a summary report, where I have several charts and tables, and I want to print just the first 2 charts Could this be done by mapping the document or separating it in some other way?
I tried using 'SubReports' control, but this way I need to have for example the first two charts in a different report (lets say 2charts.rdl), and then in the summary.rdl, add the control and set the link to 2charts.rdl,.... but I think this is pretty annoying considering the future modifications of the format in the 2charts.rdl...
I execute a report in BIDS and I also deploy and execute the same report from the browser. I felt that the report was taking a longer time in report server.
Upon attaching the profiler, I notice that when the report is executed from BIDS, it fires only 4 queries whereas the same report fires 5 queries from report server.
Can it be that BIDS does some type of caching and services the report preview from its own memory without firing the MDX to the server (perhaps because of using local cube concept?)
I've recently installed Reporting Services 2005 on a Windows 2003 Server. Both have had SP2 applied and other necessary patches. I can't deploy a report from my desktop machine to the Reporting Instance. I get the following error:

Also, from SQL Server Management Studio while logged onto the Windows 2003 Server, I can connect using http://localhost/ReportServer, but I CAN NOT connect with just the servername db04SSRS. I can connect to the Analysis Services and the Database Engine with just the servername
I've seen several threads with similar issues, but none of the solutions have worked.
Are there any training seminars/classes anyone would recommend attending? I am looking to further develop my Visual Studio Report Designer Skills. Leaning more to the intermediate/advanced side.
I am developing some reports for an ASP.NET solution, but my IDE does not display the design view of the reports. Instead, it only displays the XML definition even when I click View Designer. Yesterday the reports showed up correctly, and I know that the design view is there. Is there a setting that has been changed somewhere?
I have Reporting services 2000 (Version 8.00.1038.00) installed (installed with installation of MS CRM) and visual studio 2003 installed however, do not have the business intelligence report designer available. Where can I obtain the report designer addin? We don't have a RD 2000 CD. Is what I need available via download?
Well, I noticed several other threads on this topic, but the solutions accepted as answers did not resolve my issue.
I'm trying to pass a like clause via a parameter in a report. I'm running the report against an Oracle 10 db using the microsoft for oracle oledb driver. Here's my sql I'm using in the report designer:
select * from dbprod.database_names_vw where db_name LIKE ('%' + :1 + '%').
When I run this, I get the dreaded: ORA-01722 error
I referred to this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337223.aspx
which covers: Using Query Parameters with Specific Data Sources
I tried all the variations from that link...I tried the "@" sign. I tried the ?. I tried double quotes...I've tried everything...
I was under the impression I had to use unnamed parameters, as above....
Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:
Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS. Any Ideas? Thanks! BobP
I have the problem on showing the records in my report. I explain how i designed the report. I made the report in Business Intelligence Project. The report I am achieving is the Personal Information of all employees. After creating a query/dataset, I dragged the fields to the textboxes. I am trying to show 1 employees' record in each page. My report looks like this...
EMPLOYEES PERSONAL INFORMATION
Employee Name : _______________ <There is a photo Image here> Age : _________________________ Address: ______________________ Telephone #:___________________ Province:______________________ BirthPlace:____________________ Birthdate:_____________________
What you see on the designer is not what you get? How frustrasing can this be when you develop a report? Why did Microsoft made such a deviation from actually designing the windows UI (where you always get what you want and it is a true wysiwyg)
We are doing some data entry apps and would like to simulate a paper based report at the end of the data entry. I designed a portion of it and preview showed what I want. Published the report and found out that the layout is messed up in the IE. I went trough the pain of correcting the layout and made it work for IE. Now when I use the preview the layout is messed up. How can I desgin a layout that works on both worlds. (client side and server side??)
We would like to make the report avaliable in both the windows application(client side) as well as through the report manager (server side)
I've loaded the Report Services from Microsoft unto our server. How do I get the Client Designer tool loaded on other boxes. Does anyone know where the Install is to install the report designer into a Client machine?
Hi, I have installed SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services 2005 and Visual Studio 2003 all works OK but I need to create a report with the Microsoft SQL Server Report Designer 2005 and it doesn't appear in my VS, someone could help me with this?
Is there an ActiveX control for the Report Designer available so I can just drop it into my program so the user can edit or add reports without buying the Business Intelligence Studio or Visual Studio 2005? I understand I'll have to pay royalties on this but depending on the cost I am open to it.
I've got this working -- I allow users to have 2 groups, and choose what they want to group by. I'd like to add one extra bit of functionality -- for the inner grouping, I would like my users to have the option "None" -- i.e. don't have an inner group.
I've tried setting the group expression of the second (inner) group to "" when the user chooses the "None" option but the report errors out. Any suggestions as to how to dynamically get rid of the inner group?
I have a requirement to add the ability to filter a report by partial last name, at the report level (i.e. not at the database server). In case someone else needs to work out how to do this, here is what I did.
Add a Parameter to the report. In my case it is named LastName, is non-queried, allows Null or Blank, and has a default of null. Add a filter to the dataset that contains the field to be searched. Set its Expression to: =IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = System.DBNull.Value OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "", Fields!LastName.Value, Nothing) , its operator to "=" and its value to =IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = Nothing OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "", Nothing, Parameters!LastName.Value & "*")
Below I have query I run in Management Studio. The sample results are below. When I put the same query in SSRS Report Designer it strips the "All" result out and replaces it with a Null. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way to force a string result instead of a Null.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[FACT NETWORK TT 2 Count] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
When I'm building a report in report designer and get error message that says --error like --field textbox25--whats the easiest way to see all my report fields and quickly access them instead of clicking every field in a report?
And now I have desing report with the following structure:
1) Create list element (A_List) and use detail group to grouping data by A.name in it.
2) Then I use 2 another lists and placed it in A.
Now I want get the textbox = Sum(C.total) in the A_List area. It is obvious that ealier represented sql select make cartesian product (AxBxC) of A,B,C tables. And now I have multiple record for single row for each row in each table. For example I have three equals records for totals.
And I could't use aggregation function in Sum. Anobody know how this problem solves???
I have the following stored procedure. I have a few questions regarding its use in Reporting Services.
1) Invalid Object ##Tmp_Table1, this prevents the report designer from displaying the available fields. 2) The @totalcount isn't available (I need this value for a calculated field in the report) 3) How would I go about creating dropdowns/calendar controls for users to fill in the parameter values?
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spTermCodeReport] @tablename char(12) = 'results_NAF', @source varchar(20) = 'AmExpProvList', @sourcedate datetime = '05/30/2007', @TotalCount int = 0 OUTPUT AS DECLARE @SQLString varchar(255) BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT @SQLString = 'SELECT count(*) AS TRCount INTO ##Tmp_Table1 FROM ' + @tablename + ' WHERE source=''' + @source + ''' and sourcedate=''' + convert(varchar(10),@sourcedate,110) + '''' EXEC(@SQLString) SELECT @TotalCount = TRCount FROM ##Tmp_Table1 DROP TABLE ##Tmp_Table1 SELECT @SQLString = 'SELECT termcd, count(termcd) AS TermCDCount FROM ' + @tablename + ' WHERE source=''' + @source + ''' and sourcedate=''' + convert(varchar(10),@sourcedate,110) + ''' GROUP BY termcd' EXEC(@SQLString) END
I have to try Report Designer Preview and i have to make a demo for a client.
I have 2 problems.
* We need Report Designer Preview to be the end-user Report Maker Tool. But, it doesn't have the Query Designer and the MDX Query Designer. In future version of MSSQL2008, is it integrated ?
* We work with MOSS 2007 and i just want to know if it's possible to deploy directy from Report Designer Preview to a Sharepoint with Reporting Services in Integrated Mode. If it's not, is it preview to have it ? and when ?
Thanks for your help. (if you know people from Microsoft who can help me for features in future version, thanks to forward me his email).
I'm trying to change the snap-to grid functionality in a SRS 2005 Report Design (within VS 2005). I tried the same steps in the following post, without success. Based on the SRS help, it appears you change Grid Settings by accessing the File > Page Setup dialog, but the Page Setup (along with Print) is disabled.
Maybe these are instructions for Report Builder only? If so, how do you adjust the Grid Settings (to turn off the "snap" functionality) for a SRS Report project in Visual Studio?
I want to use Report Designer in SQL Server 2005 to generate monthly invoices for customers. I would need to somehow automatically repeat running the same report, but for a different customer ID each time. Kind of like a batch process.
How can I make this happpen?
The data is in SQL Server 2000. I have Visual Studio 2008 if that helps.
I know Crystal Reports can do this, using the Crystal Reports server. But I'm hoping to find a way to do it using MS Reporting Services.
I am trying to add some fields to my report (Using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, Visual Studio 2005).
As of now I can only use fields from one of my tables, or use functions within SQL DBMS. However, sometimes I wish to do more complicated things which can not be done (or at least I don't know how to do) withing SQL DBMS.
I wish to write a C# function (Web service) which takes a bunch of parameters and spits out some text. Is it possible to add a field to the report which calls this Web service, sends a bunch of parameters and displays the result of the function.
If not, Is there any way at all to manipulate some data using C# and display the result in the report.
