No XML Data Sources Support In SSRS 2008?

Mar 4, 2008



When trying to use the report editor in VS 2008, I noticed that there is no longer an option to use an XML data source (either a file-based or URL-based source). This is a major omission given that so many services nowadays are exposed via REST-style interfaces.

Please advise if I'm missing something! I'm using the February CTP.

Thanks,

Reporting Services :: Connecting To Two Different Data-sources (Excel And Database) In SSRS?

Sep 22, 2015

I have a requirement where we have to connect to two different data-sources one is Database Table and another one is Excel Source. I know we can do this by creating a SSIS package and loading the excel data into database table and then based on some relationship between the tables we can create the data-set in SSRS. But I am looking for some other approach where I can do this without creating the SSIS package.

Reporting Services :: Access Denied Error When Testing Data Source Connection In SSRS 2008

Aug 16, 2011

We are running Reporting Services 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-Bit server.  I have a user that has full access to Reporting Services at all folder levels but IS NOT a local administrator on the 2008 server.

This user can create data source connections but when he tries to test the connection by clicking on the 'Test Connection' button, he gets the following error "The permissions granted to user <username> are insufficient for performing this operation.A user that has administrator priveleges on the server can test the connection fine. 

I don't want to make this user an administrator on the server. 

This is an extract from the log file:

Does SSRS Support Cluster?

Feb 3, 2007

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, Notification Services, and Integration Services are not cluster-aware; they are always installed as stand-alone components, but can use a clustered SQL Server database.

Words above come from sql 2005 help on msdn, but the guide of ms reporting manager says,

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) must already be installed and configured before you can install SCRM 2006. Although SQL Server 2005 and SSRS support a scaled-out deployment model configuration using clustered servers, SCRM 2006 does not support clustered servers.


Why they are different? which one is correct?



Thanks.

SSIS Project Support In VS 2008

Nov 28, 2007



This is really a question for MS. Will the VS2005 project types for SSIS projects be installable in VS2008.

A lot of work has gone into VS2008 to allow developers to develop .net2.0 - .Net 3.0 applications in the same environment. It would be a same if us data folk have to keep VS2005 around to support SSIS 2005 projects.

Here's hoping

Can I Write SSRS 2008 Reports To Run On SQL 2005 SSRS?

Sep 12, 2007

Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?

If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?

I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.

The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.

Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?

Thanks!

Reporting Services :: SSRS Print Layout Support RTL Rendering

Apr 28, 2015

Is there a support of printing report with matrix that is set to RTL (LayoutDirection) which displays in ReportViewr control with property RightToLeft set to RightToLeft.Yes in DisplayMode = PrintLayout.

The report looks fine in the report viewr in DisplayMode = Normal, but when goes to PrintLayout, it seems that the left data on page is rendered first.

Example: This is the display of the report viewer, I would like to print the columns by the same order it displays here:

And this is the result when clicking Print Preview: the first page displays the data of the last columns and if i go to the last page (page 9) i will see the data of the first column as displays in the previous gif, I don't have a clue why?

Is there a property that can be set to force the print layout to render RTL. Anyway, it seem to me as a bug since the Report Viewer displays the data correctly and renders the data RTL as expected.

How To Optimize Data Import With Huge Volumes And Joins Across Data Sources Not All SQL Server Based?

Jun 7, 2006

I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.

Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.

I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.

The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.

In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Selecting A Single Data Source From Multiple Data Sources

Aug 4, 2006

Hi,

I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.

So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.

I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.

My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.

Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)

I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).

The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.

I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.

Many thanks

Best Practice - Data Sources And Data Views Vs OLE DB Source

Feb 26, 2008

Hi, i'm wondering which is the best way to search data in a SQL Server.
I reach data using Data Sources and Data Views and also with OLE DB Source with a Data access mode: Named query.
I have to write the data into a Flat File. So, does any one knows which is the best practice for this? Or any one of the two are good choices?
Thanks for your help.

Importing Data From Various Data Sources With Non Standard Formats

Mar 19, 2007

Hi all :)

I'm wondering if SSIS will be the solution to the problem I'm working on.

Some of our customers give us an Excel sheet with data they want to insert or update in the database.

I've created a package that will take an Excel sheet, do some data conversion so the data types match up and after that I use a Slowly Changing Data component to create the insert/update commands.

This works great. If a customer adds a new row to the Excel sheet or updates an existing row changes are nicely reflected in the database.

But now I€™ve got the following problem. The column names and the order of the columns in the Excel sheet are not standard and in the future it could happen a customer doesn't even use an Excel sheet but something totally different.

Can I use SSIS for this? Is it possible to let the user set the mappings trough some sort of user interface? I€™ve looked at programmatically creating the package but I€™ve got to say that€™s quit hard to do€¦ It would be easier to write the whole thing myself than to create the package trough code ;)

If not I thought about transforming the data in code before I pass it on to the SSIS package in something like XML. That way I can use standard column names and data types.

So how should I solve this problem? Use SSIS or not?

Thnx :)

Data Sources

Hi there,

On my home page I have several different folders to reports which require different data sources. the problem is that within these folders there are multiple copies of the same datasource. is it possible to store all of the datasources in one folder, one location? it would certainly be easier when changes to usernames and passwords need to be modified!

Thanks,

Data Sources

Apr 4, 2008



I searched and read about Data Sources and I'm seeing that there is no advantage in using it, which is what I found from playing around with it.

I expected that you would set a global connection in Data Sources and somehow link this to the things in your Connection Manager, giving you one place to switch from one environment to another. But reading the discussions here and playing around with it, this is not the case.

So, why is it there?

Next question.... another thing I gathered so far is something called "Configurations" that will do what I was describing above. Where do I do this?

SSIS : Merging Two Data Sources Data

Jul 9, 2007

Hi guys,

I manage to get the SSIS working. Now I would need to do these tasks.

I first want to get data from 2 different sql servers. What would be the best method to accomplish this? Both are in Sql Server 2005.

Secondly I want to make sure if any of the servers couldn't be found on the network or in any case the getting data task failed for any one of them the package won't continue and an email should be send to an email address.

Thirdly If everything is ok then I should combine both and generate one sequence no for them and save them on to another location and then generate a file with modified values.


Can anyone help me regarding these tasks?



Thank you

300 Data Sources... Am I Doing Something Wrong?

May 15, 2007

In brief, here is my quandary… I have a GridView on a page with some radio buttons, a couple of check boxes, some drop downs etc. And depending on what the user selects the Grid View needs to show different columns from the database…
The easiest way I have found to do this is to have a separate Data Object for each “view�, i.e. each variation of the checkboxes and radio buttons (which determine which dropdowns to use for the variables) and then bind the GridView to the specific Data Source at runtime…
 
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I have over 7 different data connections cluttering up the design view, and more to come and I feel like I am missing a better way to achieve the same results…
 
Does anyone have some advice for a major novice?
 
Here’s the beginning of a large set of nested ifs, if this is the way it’s done that’s fine too, I’ll just keep creating data sources, I just get the feeling there must be an easier way to do this..
 
    protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      
 
         if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue == "Vendor") {
 
                if (CheckBox1.Checked == true) {
                      GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource4";
                      GridView2.DataBind();
                      TextBox1.Text = "Search";
                } else {
                GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource1";
                GridView2.DataBind();
                TextBox1.Text = "Search";
                }
                } else if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue == "Store Number")
            {  GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource2";
                GridView2.DataBind();}
            else {
                GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource3";
                GridView2.DataBind();
                TextBox1.Text = "Search";
            }
               
 
    }
 
Any advice for a major novice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

When Data Sources Change...

Dec 14, 2006

If I were to change a data source that many packages use (say, from box "SQL-2" to "SQL-1"), would I have to re-upload the packages that used that data source? Or would the packages already on the server receive that change somehow?

(currently realizing that most of the packages use package-local data connections instead of project-wide data sources...)

Thanks!

Connection Strings/Data Sources

Jan 3, 2005

Hey all,

I'm coming from ASP and I used to have a global connection string accessible to all of my ASP pages that I'd use for all of my data access. This was really convenient because I could easily switch to a backup or local data source for testing/debug by changing the connection string in one place.

Now, I'm using ASP.NET with Web Matrix and I love the drag and drop functionality but its dropping my connection string all over the place. How can I do this and keep my connection string in one spot so I can have the same convenience of switching data sources.

Thanks in advance!

Where Are Credentials For Data Sources Stored?

For credentials, I have a Shared Data Source that "uses a specific user name and password".

When I open the data source's RDS file, I observed that the credentials are not stored in the RDS file.

Where are the credentials for the data sources stored?

It has to be stored somewhere. When I close and reopen the solution, the credentials for the data source are still intact.
