Open Reports With Report Builder

Oct 6, 2006

Hi!

We have a "folder hiriarchy" in reporting services with permission for different users to only create reports in their own folder. However, it would be nice if they (in report builder) could open eachothers reports, modify them and then save them in theri own folder. In this case, if they find a useful report that someone else has created, they could just make their own small modifications and save it in their own folder.

The problem is that I cant't seem to find a securitysetting that allow this. Either they can create/modify/delete the reports in a "folder" or they can't even open them in report builder...

Is there a solution to my problem?

regards Andreas

On open the error is:

The numeric portion of 2pt cannot be parsed as a unit of the type point.

The Initilizer for 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Design.Constants' threw an exception

On Save the error is:

System.IO.StreamReader: Deserialization failed: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Design.Constants' threw an exception. Line 2, position 2

Please note that I succeed with second user to create ad hoc report on the first user

URL Launching From Report Builder Reports?

Apr 9, 2007

Hello -



I know that you can build a Report Designer report and add URL navigation from a field. I am trying to figure out how to do this with report BUILDER. I haven't been able to do it using the UI and editing the RDL directly to match what I see in a similar report Designer report is being ignored (if I did it right).



I can put the URL into the DSV & Model as a field/attribute, but displaying the a field with a URL in it doesn't make it "clickable".



Does anyone have a trick for this? Or know that there is definately no way to do it?



Thanks in advance,

Toni Fielder

Moving Report Builder Reports To New Server

Jun 22, 2007

I have a development server setup with Report Builder that our users have been testing out. They have a number of reports that they have created on this dev server.



We now have our live environment all setup and I'd like to move their Report Builder reports to the new server for them so they don't have to recreate them.



Is this possible? If so, how?



Thanks.

Report Builder Issues For Large Reports

Jan 11, 2008



I have a very simple report model with two tables in it but having millions of rows.
I have developed a report on this report model, which will return atleast half million rows.

I have published this report to report server and trying to access the report through the report manager. It never returns the result. Fails with tme out expired error. I have 64 bit machine and 2 GB RAM. The report is expected to return atleast 500 MB data. As per the SSRS documentation it the memory should be three times to process the report. It does not work.

If I develop the same report using the report designer, I get the results returnd within a minute.
If I use the above mentioned Report Model as my data source, again I get the results within less than minute.

So what is it the report builder report is doing additional? It is strange that the same report model when used as data source returns the same number of rows within less than minute and the report developed and uploaded to report manager using report builder fails with time out expired error?

What is that the Report builder doing internally? Can I change some configuration for report builder report to work for large reports? I have already changed the memory settings in the report config and machine config files.
Your early response is appreciated.

Problem Viewing Reports In Report Builder

Feb 8, 2006

Hi.

I get a problem when I want to preview a report in Report Builder. I just launch Report Builder by the url [1] (RS is on a server, and I work on a laptop). Then I choose a model and create a simple report. When I press "Run Report", I get an error message saying: "The permissions granted to user 'mydomainmyusername' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)". But my user are assigned to content manager...

If I then save the report to the Report Server, I can access the report through e.g. the Report Manager without any problems.

Why doesn't the preview functionality work for me? Are there some settings I need to set, or is it a bug in Report Builder?

Regards, Tomsi

Can I Create Letter Type Reports Within The Report Builder

Mar 5, 2007

Hi,



I need to create letter type reports using the report builder, is this possible?. I am trying to create a letter that embeds some variable fields, i.e,. name, address, contact number. I can't seem to find a way to create page headers, and embed report data fields within text. Is this not possible within the report builder? it seems that the only thing you can do within the report builder is add fields to their predesignated areas. I am being forced to use the report builder instead of the report designer in order to give the end user the ability to make modifications to the report/letter. This is very frustrating. not being able to allow the user to edit report designer files, and then having force them to use report builder which doesn't seem to support some simple features..

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Enabling Automatic ClickThrough/ Drill Into For Report Builder Reports Against A Model

Apr 4, 2007

Hello - I am having difficulty enabling the automatic click-through functionality for my model. I have two entities - Customer & Incident. Incident is a role/FK/OptionalMany relationship to customer.



I've read through earlier postings on this subject (below) and have verified that the #Incidents attribute in my incident entity has the EnableDrillThrough=true.



My test report is simple - Customer Name (from customer) and #Incidents (from incident). When I run it, the click-through option is not available (the cursor stays as an arrow and doesn't change to a finger).



Are there other properties or settings that I need to be working with? I have SP2 (9.0.3042) installed on our Standard edition of SQL 2005. I know Infinite Click-Through is not in Std edition, but a few levels should be, correct?



Thanks in Advance,

Toni

Showing Empty Cells From OLAP Cube In Report Builder Reports

Nov 5, 2007

Hi all,

I'm trying to get empty cells from an OLAP cube to display in a report designed using the Report Builder. Of the three report types, only the Table report shows the empty cells. Is there any option/setting that I need to enable to get this to work for the Matrix or Chart reports? Something like the "Show Empty Cells" option that is available in the pivot table used by BI Dev Studio?

Any help appreciated.

Report Builder - How To Design Free Form Reports Other Than Tabular Or Matrix Or Charts

Nov 8, 2007

Hi

Does any body know that creating free form rports using Report Builder is possible?

Free-form report - in the sense - that user should be able to drag the fields from the leftside fields pane and drop on body as we do in report designer using BI studio.

I could not figure out a way to do so. Is this a limitation?

Thanks

Modifying A Report Created In Report Builder In The Report Designer.

Jun 30, 2006

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.



Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Report Builder Using Report Model Based On Linked Server (Excel) - Primary Key?

Sep 6, 2007

I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:


sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'



I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:


create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$


Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."

I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?

Thanks,
--Stan

Possiblity / Instructions On How To Install Report Builder Locally Without Hitting Report Server

Feb 16, 2007

We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager?

I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?

Report Builder Icon Is Not Showing Up On The Report Manager Home Page

Feb 1, 2007

HI, there,

I added a new windows user "ReportUser" which is a local user (not in administrator group). When I connect to the report manage's web page, I use reportuser to log in (when the anonymous access is disabled it will ask a log in). Report builder icon is not showing up on the report manager home page.

If I log in as a user in administrator group, the reportr builder icon shows up so I can download it and build report.

I have assigned reportuser "Content manager" and "repoter builder" access to the home folder. Is there anything else I have to do to make the report build icon show up on the home page?



Thanks

Report Builder And Report Server Cross Domain Communication

Dec 19, 2006



I have client machine in one domain, say A domain , on which I have installed .net 2.0 without any problem. I have report server running in other domain (B domain) where I have deployed few models which will be used from domain A to create ad hoc reports by launching Report Builder. I can access other reports in domain B from A

But when I click on Report Builder ..it tries to connect to server in domain B but fails to connect and shows following log in a text pop up

I know, problem is because of cross domain communication but question is then how to fix it ? what changes I need to do for that in firewall, domain etc etc settings?

Reporting Services :: Report Builder - Add Report Processing Time?

Feb 26, 2015

I was wondering if there was any way to add a value field to a report, with the time it took for the report to Process.

It would probably be a text field with an Expression, but don't know how that would go.

I know that in Expression there is a value for ExecutionTime (when report began to run), but nothing about when it ends.Can this be done? and if yes, how?

Reporting Services :: See Report-Level Variables In Report Builder 3.0

Mar 22, 2011

Is there a way to see Report-Level variables in Report Builder 3.0?  Also, just as a feedback, it would be really nice if there were a way to see and easily access all of the variables used in a report from one location instead of going to the dataset, the report, and then to the individual groups (if needed) to see the variables.  Also, it would be very useful if Group-level variables can show up in the Expression Builder as well.

Reporting Services :: Go To Report Function Works In Report Builder But Not In Web?

Jul 6, 2015

I've gotten to the point of publishing the new reports on the SSRS server and have run into the following problem.

I use a field in the primary report with the "Go to report" action to open up another report (also published) for more details. It works properly from within ReportBuilder (2.0) using the report server and I can go to and from the secondary report as I expect. Its passing the correct parameters to the second report and its runs.

But when I use the reports from the SSRS web, the Go To link no longer works. Mouse hover shows its still a link but clicking goes no where. I can run both reports independently from SSRS and they still work.  

I've tried this in IE and Chrome with no luck in either. I also poked around at Compatability view and popup blocker but nothing made any difference.
