I am using SQL 2005 with reporting services, I have very basic reports, most users can print fine with the print icon in the toolbar, some users get the Blue screen and have to reboot. They have the rsclientprint.dll loaded in the browser, we have deleted it and reloaded, what do I do ?
View 1 RepliesHi,
We have a batch job that runs for about 45 min and reference couple of
tables in queries but on one of the table DD (dummy name) we want to
take a shared lock so that other sessions can read the table but no
session should be able to write to table, so at the beginning of
transaction/batch job we take a SHARED level table lock on this table.
Now the locking behavior is strange, If someone want to read the table
(IS on table DD) they are working fine but as soon as one of the DML
wants to modify the table and get blocked to get IX lock on DD other
sessions who just wants to read the table and need to get the IS lock
gets blocked so system is kind of hung after that. I tried the same
scenario on SQL Server 2005 and it works fine so this looks like kind
of bug in SQL Server 2000 unless Microsoft consider this as "AS
Designed" locking strategy. We can the following queries to reproduce
the issue:
>From QA window1 run the following code:
create table dd (dd int primary key, dd1 int,dd2 int)
set nocount on
declare @i int
begin
set @i=1
while (@i < 10000)
begin
insert into dd values(@i,@i+10000,@i+100000)
set @i=@i+1
end
end
Now we have a table with about 26 pages and 10k rows.
Now we run the following code from same window:
Begin Tran
select 1 from dd with(tablock,holdlock)
Don't commit at this point
And we will see the following using sp_lock:
57 7 850818093 0 TAB S GRANT
Now on Window2 in QA run the following code:
begin tran
insert into dd values(10000,10001,100001)
And we will see that session in window2 is waiting for IX lock:
56 7 850818093 0 TAB IX WAIT
57 7 850818093 0 TAB S GRANT
Now we run the following code from Windows3, we are just reading the
table and it still gets blocked:
select * from dd where dd=99
56 7 850818093 0 TAB IX WAIT
57 7 850818093 0 TAB S GRANT
66 7 850818093 0 TAB IS WAIT
Since this is fixed in SQL Server 2005 we are wondering if this is
known issue and there is any hotfix available or this is considered by
Microsoft as "as designed?
What is the other alternative to block writers on this table and allow
readers when this batch job is running?
Thanks

I have a production DB that all of a sudden it seems that any and every insert causes massive locks/blocks.
If I kill the offending spid anther spids pops up with the block/lock.!
I'm trying to get client side printing to work in asp.net with reporting services 2005. I've got an aspx page to do printing as described here but when I try to render a report I get the following:
1. Print dialog box appears as expected
2. Press print
3. Dialog box appears saying "Print in progress"
4. After a few seconds another dialog box appears saying there was an error printing the report. Error code is 80004005.
I get the same error if I try to preview instad of print.
The (relevent) code is:
<object id="RSClientPrint" classid="CLSID:FA91DF8D-53AB-455D-AB20-F2F023E498D3" codebase="Bin/RSClientPrint.cab#Version=2005,90,1399,0"></object>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function printIt() {
RSClientPrint.Print('http://localhost/ReportServer$SQL2005',
'/LMI Reports/GoodsIn&OrderID=1000'),
'Goodsin');
}
</script>
<body onload="printIt()">
Does anybody know what this error is and how I can get the control to work? Its not clear to me what the version on the object statement should be. This example uses the version string from the control but I've also tried 1.0 with the same result. Its also not clear if I should be using RSClientPrint.Authenticate or not. I've tried both true and false with the same result.
Many thanks
Ian
We are using VB.NET 2005 to develop a WinForms application that uses SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to produce reports.
We want to print a large report programmatically without preview. RSClientPrint looked like a good solution but it produces an error when we try to use it.
Details...
I added Interop.RSClientPrintLib.dll Version 1.0.0.0 to my application and used the code sample I found at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159195.aspx
The call to print looks like:
RSClientPrint.Print("http://ourServer/reportserver", strReportPathParameters, "Report_name")
This call generates an error message:
"An error occured during printing. (0x80004002)"
and throws an exception:
"Specified cast is not valid"
Any ideas appreciated.
I have an asp.net application which is launched from our B2B site. The primary purpose of the application is to allow our external clients access to reports, along with the ability to export and print. The RS2005 report viewer component was used within the application to render the reports. The problem is when the our client users click on the print button on the report viewer's tool bar, many of them are receiving a window asking them if they want to install "SQL Server". In reality, the ActiveX viewer, RSClientPrint, is what is trying to install. Our technical support staff is being flooded with calls due to this pop up. The users are very confused and concerned about installing "SQL Server." In addition, some users do not have the ability to install the ActiveX viewer, so they are not going to be able to print. We've experienced this in the past with ActiveX for Crystal. Finally, some users receive no message or feedback when they click on the print button for several minutes. We've determined the ActiveX is being installed during this time. We've had users wait as long as 7 minutes for the Print Dialog to come up.
1. We would like to place a message along with the link on the page where the report is rendered. Is there a way for us to provide a link to a self extracting file containing RSClientPrint?
2. Also is there any way to get around the issue where the client user does not have the ability to install the ActiveX? I've seen references on the forum to using SMS, but this is not possible since the users are external?
3. Is there any setting we can turn on so the users don't think the application has gone "out to lunch" while the ActiveX viewer is installed?
Thanks
Hi,
We are using the RSClientPrint component to print reports from our web application. When we use it from IE all works fine. But on using the FireFox the print method fails. I am using following code to print
Code Snippet
var oRSClientPrint = window.document.getElementById("RSClientPrint");
alert(oRSClientPrint);
if (typeof oRSClientPrint.Print == "undefined")
{
alert("Unable to load client print control.");
return;
}
In FireFox above code fails by raising error message "Unable to load client print control.". As per me FireFox is not able to use the Print method of object, Can you help me on how we can make it to work with FireFox.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi All
We're having a technical issue integrating the print reports into the portal. I'm hoping maybe some of your guys can help. We're using the RSClientPrint component to print the reports. The problem appears to be a conflict between the & in the URL and the & in the parameter value's cube reference. Below is an HTML code snippet. The 1st button works fine for us, it prints everything and has no & in the parameter's cube references. The second button references specific User and Employee values and therefore has & in the cube reference and generates an error. We tried encoding the & as & but it did not help. Thanks.

I am getting a general protection fault when pressing the print icon in Reporting Services website.
Hi I found this article:
http://database.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sql-server-l/reporting-services-2005-print-icon-causes-machine-to-reboot-1592477
but I can't figure ou how to "remove" the RSClientPrint Class add-on in IE 6.
P.S.
Why does something as simple as printing need to be an ActiveX control? There are all kinds of issues revolving around pushing this out using SMS for users without local admin permission.
Hi,
I€™m hoping someone might be able to help me.
I have a Development Machine running Windows XP Professional SP2, with SQL Server 2005 including Reporting Services. I am developing an ASP.NET application using VS 2005, and am including Server Side Reports from SQL Server. Everything is working well, except when viewing the Reports.
The Reports when viewed from Reporting Services€™ Report Manager or from within the ASP.NET application only display the first page of the report, displaying the total number of pages as 0. As well, most of the functions on the report toolbar appear to be disabled. This occurs for any report viewed, even sample reports such as the Adventure Works Samples.
The problem only occurs when viewed from within Internet Explorer on the Development Machine. To overcome the problem, I have upgraded SQLServer to SP2, and removed and reinstalled Internet Explorer, but it made no difference. It appears to be related to the rsClientPrint ActiveX addon which should have been installed when the print icon was first selected. It appears not to have installed properly, but up to that point everything worked OK. Selecting the Print icon (or any other icon) since nothing happens. I€™m guessing here, but I suspect that the rsClientPrint addon needs to be reinstalled, but I don€™t know how to go about it. It is not listed within IE addon (where it is on other machines connecting to the Development Machine), nor is it listed within the €śC:WindowsDownloaded Program Files€?. But it is not being downloaded when the Print Icon is selected. I have checked all the Security settings for the environment to ensure that ActiveX programs are downloaded, and everything appears to be in order.
Would anyone be familiar with this problem or have any suggestions on how to go about resolving it? Any help would be appreciated as it is causing significant problems. Strange though, the reports appear fine when viewed from within the Server Manager.
I have created a VB 6.0 application that reads data from old db files into the SQL Server 2000 database using DTS stored structure files.

I need to syncronize two separate databases. One is SQL Server the other is MySql. I don't have a lot of experience with MSSQL and need a little advice on how best (in terms of speed especially) to gather records that have been added since the last sync and any that have been modified. The table in question has datetime fields for both, the time each record was created (CreatedTime) and the time that the record was last modified (ModifiedTime). Sync will happen daily.
I have worked out a few ways I might do this with DATEADD or DATEDIFF, but my question is, what is the most effecient way? Currently I'm just looking for a way to get inserted and updated records from SQL Server to MySQL. I may have to do a two way sync of some sort later.
I don't wich choice should I made to avoid have to see the systems objects, for intance, when I open the tables of any Data Base I have like 50 that I haven´t create, so if any one can help me, I will be gratefull, it might sound like BOBO, but I jist don't know. Thanks

Hi everyone,
Im having a hard time deciding what approach should I take. The scenario is this: I have developed various systems (inventory, HR, accounting, etc.). All this systems are (and should be) tightly integrated with one another. At present, for all these systems, i've used a single DB prefixing the tables with the systems name (eg. Inventory.Items).
My question is: did I did the right (and practical) thing? Or should I create a DB for each system to organize them? The problem with multiple DBs is some system uses the other system's table(s). Example, if i created a separate DB for accounting, and a separated DB for inventory, and another for HR, how am I going to relate inventory and HR's accounts to the accounting DB's table? I want a single instance for each table; I don't want to create another account table for inventory or HR so I can enforce integrity. And if different DBs, is there a performance impact on this?
Or is there another way? My concern is performance and manageability. Please help. Thanks!
I currently run SQL Server 2005 64-bit Developer Edition (Service Pack 2 - it will be SP 3 as soon as I can get hold of it). I am running this on a stand-alone box with Windows Server 2003 as the OS.
Soon, I will be buying another computer for a colleague who will be running SQL Server as specified above. However, I am not happy with Windows Server and am wondering about changing to either XP 64-bit or Vista 64-bit. The machine will not be networked.
I would welcome advice on this since, in some ways, I would be happy enough to use XP or Vista, and think that 64-bit development is more likely on Vista than on other Windows OS's. However, I am not convinced that SQL Server 2005 works with Vista and, like everyone else, have heard plenty of complaints about Vista.
All advice gratefully received.
Thanks.

Hi evrybody,
I MBA Systems (2005 passout) and doing OCA & OCP.
but currently doing job as HR (1.5 yrs exp).
I want to know How tough it will be for me to get job in Software?
Is it so easy guys?
I'm working on an income deferral problem and we are using IRR to end up calculating periodic income.
As an example, I have the following inputs:
Number of periods = 9
Initial Loan = 21.46
Instalment amount =15.30
Future value=0
Guess=0.1 (10%)
Using a compiled function from Visual Studio in SQL Server 2008 we get a result of 70.71656373
Using a Microsoft Access function we get NaN
Using Microsoft Excel we get NaN
Using a web calculator we get 70 (ish, the calculator rounds the numbers)
I know that the numbers are odd, some of our data is dirty so we do expect that. I was expecting the SQL process to kick out an error (therefore converting the result into 0), but it doesn't.
In 2000 there was a server level setting you could change in EM, to allow direct modifications to systems catalogs.
in 2005 I would like to update some sids in sysusers tables, do I also need to find and set this option first

We're planning to migrate our db to new and more disk drives, fasterRAID levels and more dedicated disk usage(e.g. placing the translog ondedicated disks). The db server runs on Win2003.Right now we're thinking about what file system to use on the newdrives. We opt for performance, but expect reliability as well.(Goeswithout saying, IMHO ;-))

I was going over this article , and was intrigued by this statement "If SQL Server 2005 Express is running on Windows XP Home, it is limited to five simultaneous connections. If it is running on Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional, it is limited to 10 simultaneous connections. However, these are limitations of the operating system and not of SQL Server 2005 Express."
What are simultaneous connections? Is this related to Max worker threads defined as 255 on other editions? How does underlying OS impose how many connections can be done to SQL server. And finally how many simultaneous connections can be done in Windows Server 2003?

Hello,
I am in the process of learning SSIS to step into a business intelligence role in my company, which is a Microsoft CRM/GP VAR. I plan to use SSIS for building data warehouses. However, I'm aware that my company also uses a tool called Scribe to integrate data from non-CRM systems into Microsoft CRM. Can anyone explain to me the difference between SSIS and Scribe? Can SSIS reasonably accomplish what my company now uses Scribe to do? Mostly, Scribe seems to be used for scheduled one- or two-way scheduled data pushes.
Thanks,
Andy
We are currently utilizing a risk management software that is using a SSMS back end. However the database is extremely normalized and hard to find data. I am looking for one particular item (column) to bounce against another report I created, to find the delta's.
I found an XML string that looks to have data captured in it, almost like VB marked up in XML. This XML has the column name (source and the desitination column). However when I go into the other tables I am unable to find either column?
Could it be that the application is referencing the XML strings in the column to present the data through the application? Is this some sort of way to prevent people from back dooring their data? Maybe I just missed the table with the column name.
Hi all,
I am a Windows Sysadmin (Active Directory, infrastructure, etc) with light knowledge of SQL 2005. I can set up the database cluster on a shared storage device, I know how to get the heartbeat, do simple backups, etc.
My question pertains to disaster recovery. Right now, we use a product called DoubleTake to copy our database over and 'assume' the identity of the failed SQL server. There are two problems with this -- cost of the license of DoubleTake, and additionally, is it the best method?
I have read before, that you don't need to be a DBA to set up a DR scenario for SQL. My goal really is to have two databases -- one in our production location, and one in a DR location that is pretty much cold (for licensing issues).
If our production database should go down, then it would fail over to the DR site.
What is involved in doing this, what type of steps are required, do you NEED a DBA to manage this, or can a sysadmin (such as myself) take care of it? Also, is it worth having DoubleTake to do this job, and does it do a better or worse job, are there limitations, etc.
Thank you for any replies you can give, and please keep in mind that I'm far from a DBA .
hi all,

Our NT person thinks that rebooting the SQL 2000 (on WIn 2000) server every month is a good idea (this is a client production box). I am strongly against it. For starters any trends I am trying to capture with performance monitor become useless every time we do this. I am willing to listen to every one's opinion, but I hope by now that SQL 2000 is stable enough not to have to do this.
