I'm new at creating reports in reporting services and I have a basic question.
My problem is that for some reason my reports don't refresh right away, even after I press the recycle button.
I change a value on the table on a database and click on the refresh button of the report. But I have to give it sometime and click the refresh in order for the report to show the changed data.
I have some charts in the report as well, so maybe I'm missing a configuration setting somewhere.
Is it possible to dynamically refresh the report model of the report builder?
could it even be using code with any of the interfaces?
When we add a table or add a column to the table in database , will the report model get refreshed automatically or do we need to do it externally. If so, can we use any of the objects and write a custom code in VB.
In my installation of RS 2005 when I click the Refresh Icon on a report the report doesnt update. But when I click the "View Report" button it does.
For example, if I change the parameters on the report and click the refresh icon the report seems to flicker as if it was rfreshing but the report data remains the same, even the paramaters in the report remain the same (I have the parameters that are selected in the report header)
Anyone have the same problem or know the solution?
I have a need to refresh a report after applying a filter on the data that is displayed, without accessing the database.
The following example is a simplified version of the functionality I'm trying to accomplish. The first report displays Sales & Projection data for all products. On clicking a particular product in the header, the second report displays just that product and the total metrics. I have created an rdl file for both the reports and based on the parameters passed, it displays one or several products. My concern is that the report is having to access the AS cube every time a product is clicked. In the real report, it's taking minutes to get the data. Is there way I can get the report to refresh to apply the filter without accessing the database again? Thanks in advance...
I have a situation where I have created a report using Power Pivot data Model Manage and linked to a SQL View using external sources from SQL Server. Once the View was linked from SQL server, I created the report in Power View from Inserted  --> Power View.  Since the business user requested the same data to be replicated in the excel worksheet in the form of excel, I created a version of excel report by selecting Data tab--> From other sources-->SQL Server --> connected to View (Same view that I connected in Power Pivot Data model for Power View report).
Once I created all the reports in my local excel and proceeded to upload in Office 365 share point. I followed the below steps:
1. Create a data source using the admin power bi websiteÂ
 using the connection string..Excel sheet Data tab --> Properties --> Connection String
2. Once the Data Source was created, Uploaded the excel report to the Power BI website.
3. Scheduled for the daily refresh updates.
Expected result:Since the connection set up was all successful and no issues with the refresh schedules, I was expecting to see my reports in both Worksheet reports in excel version and Power View reports to be refreshed on a daily basis. And daily transactions to appear on the reports on both Power view and excel worksheet reports.
Actual Result:I now only see the data refreshed in Power view reports and not the reports linked through Data--> sql server--> view ( i.e., excel worksheet reports). What surprises to me eve more is my refresh schedule was always successful. I do not see the refresh failed message.Â
I wanted both the power view and excel worksheet reports to get refreshed on a daily basis.
Our team is new to SSRS and we are trying to figure out how to refresh the data source view, autogenerate the corressponding report model and Re-Deploy the Report Model (rewrite existing Report Model) on the server on a periodoc basis or trigger the whole action whenever there is a change in the database on some specific tables.
We prefer to do this action through a Agent job ( a diff approach is also welcome).
I am using excel 2010 and SQL server as a data source. When I create a report with the User name "demo_user" which has db_writer access, and mail it to the colleague , he could not refresh the data with the "demo_user" credentials and apparently its throwing user name or password invalid. The one who created only could be able to refresh the data.
What should I do If other people want to refresh the data? How could I fix this issue? We are using SQL server 2012 and excel 2010 powerpivot.Â
I'm still quite a beginner with the Report Designer and now I have faced a problem. My goal is to make a reports refresh each time it is loaded. I know that this can be done by using rs:clearsession = true-method but in order this to work, it should be added to each link. There are a lots of links in the reports we are using and therefore it would be more practical to find another way to refresh the report on page load. Is there any way to do this with some kind of code attached to each report? I'm using Visual Studio 2003 and my Reporting services 2000.
I currently have a test sql server database and I am trying to refresh it with the production sql server data - to get the production current data.
If I copy the production database.mdf file and the database.ldf file from the from the production server and replace it with the test database database.mdf file and database.ldf files and then restart the database, would this give me the production current data, please advise. - If not could you please advise on how I could get the productions current database.
Hi guys, This is my first post. Could anyone help me out? I am trying to refresh a cube that i created by using a new script command but i get the following error "the script contains the statement, which is not allowed." On the microsoft page i've read that for refreshing you need to create a new script. Is there another way for refreshing the cube?
I am currently refreshing the Reporting Server Database from Production database(size 200mb) every night by using backup and restore as follows:
Restore Database ProjectDB from disk = 'D:MSSQLBACKUPRptBakProjectDB.bak' with move 'ProjectDB_log' to 'd:MssqlDataProjectDB.ldf', move 'ProjectDB_data' to 'd:MssqlDataProjectDB.mdf'
I usually take Transaction Log Backup from Production every hour everyday.
I am planning to apply the transaction log every hour on Distination Server Database (7am to 9pm). Is it right way of doing it?
I am confused whether to use WITH RECOVERY OR WITH NORECOVER while restoring a database.
I am getting errors(Msg 4306) when applying the log.
Can anyone help me how to apply incremental transaction log to the restored database(step by step)?
Hi My project is in .NET 2003 i.e. framework 1.1 and database in SQLServer 2000. But the reports have been developed using SQLServer 2005 Reporting Services. Now when I am trying to deploy them through deployment project of .NET its giving me following error:"Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. Now I am really confused with this. Can any one please guide me regarding this ASAP. Thanks, Falguni
I got through the installation hoops for SQLEXPRESS Reporting Services in Vista and set up the default configurations in Report Services Configuration. I can explore the default directory for "Reports" in IIS7, but I can't browse in IE. I get the "The report server is not responding. verify that the report server..." message in the browser. This is after I migrated the app per the initial http 500 error using the preferred method - %systemroot%system32inetservAPPCMD.exe migrate config "Default Web Site/Reports".
I'm running Vista Ultimate, VS2005, SQLEXPRESS SP2. I've tried running IE as admin and also I've disabled UAC from gpedit.msc - ...Windows SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PolicySecurity Options and unchecking UAC.
I'm very new new at this. I'm try to deploy a report model and got this message. I have no idea what its going on about.
Can anyone help me?

I would like to know if it is possible to have different applications on separate report servers sharing one report server database. If so are there possible issues or ptfalls to this type of architecture?
Recently, several of our users have started to experience issues with hyperlinks in a report. I have created a textbox added navigation and selected the report to 'jump to' and the users are getting this error:
The specified server url does not link to the report server for this report manager or is not in the correct format
I have changed this to a an url but the error persists - there is nothing on google or MSDN that i can find which relates to this error so im kinda stuck with this one! The error is not affecting all users, just a small subset of them. Each of the users has different AD rights with one of them being a Domain Admin so i dont think it is a security issue.
*obviously the <SERVERNAME> and <REPORTNAME> are not real server or report names - im just being cautious by not including this detail on a forum post.
Report manager is installed on several machines as part of a webfarm but this has not caused any problems in the past (i have over 200 reports under my belt thus far)
I went to my comp ->rt cick->manage-IIS->default website->rt click->properties->directory security->annoymouse access€¦EDIT->under Default domain it was blank, and i added a domain there.
And i was getting error opening up the reports from localhost.
I changed everything to same as it was previosly, and I am getting the error:
The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) (rsRPCError) Get Online Help
Cannot open database "ReportServer$SQLExpress" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'NGESComputer name$'.
I have an existing data warehouse that is refreshed nightly from system1.
We will be moving to a new system2 1/1/06. The old system1 will be phased out by the end of 2006. Several tables on system2 will have different keys.
I have to move the data from both systems in the data warehouse.
Here's the issue. I have to totaly refresh the data warehouse nightly. Once system2 is phased out how do I keep the data from system1 and refresh only data from system2.
HI, I have a problem with the data that I want to delete and insert new one on my SQL.It will work if I just delete a row. And work well if I just insert a row.But it will not work if I delete and insert at once on one procedure. Here's the code : Protected Sub RolesRadioButtonList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RolesRadioButtonList.SelectedIndexChanged Session("CurrentRoleId") = Me.RolesRadioButtonList.SelectedValue ' Call Sub RemoveUsersInRoles RemoveUsersInRoles() ' Call Sub AddNewUsersInRoles AddNewUsersInRoles() End Sub Sub RemoveUsersInRoles() ' Create SQL database connection Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") Dim cmd As New SqlCommand cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text ' Delete that row with correct UserId cmd.CommandText = "DELETE aspnet_UsersInRoles WHERE (UserId = '" & Session("CurrentUserId") & "')" cmd.Connection = sqlConn sqlConn.Open() cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() ' Close SQL connecton sqlConn.Close() End Sub Sub AddNewUsersInRoles() ' Create SQL database connection Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") sqlConn.Open() ' Create new row with new UserId Dim sqlString As String = "INSERT INTO aspnet_UsersInRoles (UserId, RoleId) VALUES( '" & Session("CurrentUserId") & "','" & Session("CurrentRoleId") & "')" Dim sqlComm As New SqlCommand(sqlString, sqlConn) Dim sqlExec As Integer = sqlComm.ExecuteNonQuery ' Close SQL connection sqlConn.Close() End Sub------------------------------------------- I can delete the row if I call 'RemoveUsersInRoles'And I can insert new one if I call 'AddNewUsersInRoles' But if 'RolesRadioButtonList_SelectedIndexChanged' is called, it will not work well.If the row not exist, it will insert new row. And that what I want.But If the row is exist, It wont delete that row and wont insert the new one. That's the problem. Do I need some 'pause' or 'refresh connection' here ? Thank You.
Our application is C++ and datbases are Sybase. We are 11.5.1 Sybase. Lately some of our clients have complained about data refresh problems. That if a user has made some changes within the application then these data changes are taking long time to reflect to other users in the system. We do have in our application processes to automatically refresh data for other users but for some odd reason it is not working properly. Also every day we run sp_recompile and sp_stat on the tables and stored procs. Any ideas or leads ?
You know how I mentioned before that I was working with a database with a (bunch of) view(s) that are defined like this...
CREATE VIEW MyView AS SELECT * FROM ExampleTable
Well, after altering the underlying table I noticed that the view is not picking up the new columns which leads me to believe I need to refresh the view.
Is there a way (command or stored procedure) to RECOMPILE or REFRESH a USER DEFINED FUNCTION? I can recompile SPs with sp_recompile and refresh views with sp_refreshView, but I could not find any way to refresh User-defined functions (some of them are like views, with parameters).
Please help.I have Database A (Archived data), Database B (Transactional data).Both A and B do not have any timestamps in any tables.I need to bring A (only once because it is archived data) and B withonly differentials into Database C for reporting purposes.Currently C is cleared before loading B with differentials every nightand A is not loaded since it takes 15 hours to load.Now I want to bring A once and leave it and then bring B every nightwith differentials without clearing C.Please suggest some solutions.Thank You
