Auto Hide Parameters Toolbar Without Making It Disappear
Jun 5, 2007
Hi,
anyone has any idea how to make the parameters toolbar to be automatically hidden when the report is first being accessed and subsequently to show the parameters when clicked on the arrows ? I have some users who complained that the parameters list is too long, so they wish to hide it first when accessing the report. I know there's this called rc: Parameters=false but this will permanently hide the toolbar which i don't want.
By the way, i am using sql 2000 reporting services
On a report I have a textbox. When a user prints the report I don't want the textbox printing. Does anyone know any code which will set the visibility of the textbox to False when printing??
I am trying to build a reportviewer so that I could use reporting services (due to company's security policy).
I am getting a VERY weird error here.
Before I get on ahead, here is the scenario.
I had created a rdl that will give a certain report based on two parameters. At the moment, I didn't assign the parameters to any default values since i don't want the report to start running. These two parameters are run based on stored procedures to get the starting date and an ending date.
I had tried to view this report on Report Manager and it works.
I had set the parameters this way. NOTE: ReportingServer is the disgused name of the reportserver I am using for privacy purposes
'PDF Rendering extensions don't have any useful DeviceInfo settings
'the toolbar shown below only affects HTML rendering
Dim devInfo As String = "<DeviceInfo><HTMLFragment>True</HTMLFragment><JavaScript>True</JavaScript><Toolbar>True</Toolbar><Parameters>True</Parameters></DeviceInfo>"
Dim credentials() As ReportingServer.DataSourceCredentials = New ReportingServer.DataSourceCredentials() {}
Dim showHideToggle As String = ""
Dim encoding As String = ""
Dim mimeType As String = ""
Dim warnings() As ReportingServer.Warning = New ReportingServer.Warning(0) {}
Dim reportHistoryParameters() As ReportingServer.ParameterValue = New ReportingServer.ParameterValue() {}
Dim streamIDs() As String = Nothing
Dim sh As ReportingServer.SessionHeader = New ReportingServer.SessionHeader
rs.SessionHeaderValue = sh
But when I started building this reportviewer.aspx, it gives me this error on the following line:-
Code Snippet
results = rs.Render(ReportPath, format, historyID, devInfo, Parameters, credentials, _
{"This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'start_date'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. --> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'start_date'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. --> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'start_date'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value."}
this is occuring on the line where it needs to render the report.
As simple as it is, i tried the following:-
NOTE: some variables has been changed to protect some identity.
Code Snippet
Dim ReportRenderer As New RenderSQLReports
Dim Parameters As int.rrd.sqlreporting_test.ParameterValue() = Nothing
{"Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'start_date' is not a valid value. --> Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'start_date' is not a valid value. --> Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'start_date' is not a valid value."}
This is probably occuring because the date I had provided is not found in the list of dates. I really don't want to default a date at the moment, to allow the user to select a date.
So I finally gave it a date...... a valid date.
Code Snippet
Dim ReportRenderer As New RenderSQLReports
Dim Parameters() As Reportingservices.ParameterValue = New Reportingservices.ParameterValue(1) {}
Parameters(0) = New Reportingservices.ParameterValue
Parameters(0).Label = "start_date"
Parameters(0).Name = "start_date"
Parameters(0).Value = "10/1/2004 12:00:00 AM"
Parameters(1) = New Reportingservices.ParameterValue
var rep = new Report(1, 16, pageHits, false, docMapIds); <-where error is occuring.
if (parent != self) parent.OnLoadReport(rep);
}

</script>
It did show the report, but I don't understand why it is still getting an error here. Moreover, I didn't even get the HTMLViewer too even when I had assigned the devinfo....
Really need some help here, as this is quite urgent.... I am at a loss at this, and maybe that there is an option that I am not seeing or something I am missing. please help .
Bernard-So close yet so far, How cruel are the software bugs-
I had reports using the HTML Viewer working in RS 2000. The servers were both O/S Windows 2000, SQL Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Reporting Services 2000) The default toolbar and parameters area were formatted and looked fine.
We just migrated to new servers with Windows 2003 Server, SQL Server 2005, IIS 6.0, Reporting Services 2005. I have the reports working fine...except the toolbar and parameters areas look as if there is no formatting at all...as if the style sheet isn't being applied (not even the default one --see below).
Although I don't think this is necessary....I tried the following to resolve the issue....
Can we do the auto hide of parameter window in ssrs as soon as user select the input and click on view report and once the data comes, that parameter window should hide automatically.
Hi, Is it is possible to hide some parameters in report? Also it should be possible to pass values to this hidden parameters from the application. When I did this through Report Manager, some error message like ' the parameter 'XXXX' is read-only. ....' appears.
I am wondering if RS has the capability to minimize the parameter portion on the top. I see that parameter can be hidden, but I would need the capability to just minimize and if the user needs to change the parameter, they can still click on a button to un-minimize.
I am new to reporting services and really need some help.. Im trying to simply my requirement using this scenario: Lets say
I want to display Sales for the current year (i.e from the start of the year january to the month we are currently at). The next requirement is to group these sales, by Area , Region , Zone...
Top leve l = Zone , then Region then Area.
I need the user to be able to control this using a parameter (i.e User can select "View Area Level" or "View Region Level" or "View Zone level")
How can this best be achieved ?
My idea was using row groupings and controling visibility using the parameter.. The problem is.. If i want to view ONLY the area level and not see anything above, can I turn visibility off of the Zone and Region and still see the inner group (area)
Area Level (default view)
Jan Feb Area 1 100 100 Area 2 200 200
Region Level Selected
Reagion 1 Area 1 100 100 Region 2 Area 2 200 200
Zone Level Select
Zone 1 Region 1 Area 1 100 100 Region 2 Area 2 200 200
I am doing report development against OLAP. I have Parameter1 and then my second parameter is a boolean (True/False). I want to show Parameter 3/Paramater 4 based on selection of Param2 (So, if true, show Param3, if false, show Param 4) and please remember we are doing this in a sequence.
Is this even possible in SSRS 2005? If yes, how the hell do I achieve it.
PS: Sorry for cursing, but I am about to lose my mind. Any help is much much appreciated.
I want to send a reports to two person. Reports are going to be delivered automatically. I hope to use snapshot option. In my report there is one column which can be seen by only one person. Can I use parameters to hide one column from one person? If its possible, can you explain how to do that please. If its not possible, what are the other option excet creating two different reports. Also If I use parameters , can reports be executed automatically? Thanks
I'd like the state of the function bars to stay at whatever it was as the user moves from one report to the next rather than opening to full each time a new report is opened. Can this be done through a setting or programatically at teh report level? Is there a <default_toolbars_OpenState> tag or something?
I have requirement where first I need to show only one report parameter. Based on user selection I need to prompt or show the user another report parameter.
Say suppose I have 3 parameters. User selects first value in first parameter I should not show the other 2 parameters. If user selects second value in first parameter I should show second parameter and hide third parameter. There is no relationship between these 2 parameters except user selection. Similarly if user third value in first parameter then I should show third parameter and hide second parameter.
Is this possible? I can not see any Visible property for report parameters.
My report has default values for all parameters (ofcourse. which can be modified by user). When I try to view the preview, the report is running with the default values automatically. I want the report to run only when we click "View Report".
Is there an easy way to generate the parameters code for calling stored procedures?
Is there an easy way to generate stored procedure code without having to manually type it in? I've seen 3rd party tools, but I was wondering if there's anything within Sql Server to do it.
I'm using c#, visual studio 2005, sql server 2005.
Is it not possible to execute one package and then design another package? I am executing one package and trying to design another package and just have a grey window in the control tool box that says:
"there are no usable controls in this group. Drag an item onto this text to add it to the toolbar"
Can I only get my controls by dragging when another package is executing? Where do I drag them from?
How to disappear the generic bar in the report, or to disappear some options (example export). I speak about the bar which in the top of the report or there are the numbers of pages.
In the console, when right clicking on a table name...then selecting 'open table', the toolbar at the top of the page is not displaying. This is the graphical bar with the 'SQL' button that lets you filter the results.
When I am trying to view the report using 'URL Access', on one particular machine, all items in toolbar is shown on separate lines. It almost looks like the report viewing area and toolbar width is shrunk. I have same installation on 4 different servers but only one server is giving problem.
OS - XP SQL Server - 2005
Not much help available on wen.Only a couple of posts with similar problem.
I am trying to find out whether the Toolbar is available when using the Reporting Services Web Service interface.
Right now, I am using the Web Service to render a report, but the Toolbar does not appear. I have set the <Toolbar> element in the DeviceInfo string to true.
I have just installed my server with server2003 enterprise edition, everything is working fine. However, after I make it online for awhile, I found a weird thing on the tool bar just beside the clock. There are 2 hidden icons, when I move the pointer to these 2 icons, it shows the IP address of my server. Just wanna know if there is anything wrong with that.
Since upgrading from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, I've noticed that it no longer autosaves queries that have not been manually saved first. If a file has been manually saved the autorecover files end up in the following directory:
%appdata%MicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio11.0AutoRecoverDatSolution1
However, I have ended up in the situation where I have unsaved queries when my computer has crashed and have not been able to recover them.
I have also found references to .sql files stored in temp files in the following directory, but the files here seem to be very haphazardly caught:
I created a new database role to give a number of users select privilege only on some tables and every day I have to go back in and add the tables back to the role. Is there something I'm missing here?
I have questions regarding SQL 2008 r2 and Excel 2013.The below code users run from excel and it display all the data first time and when user click refresh under Data in excel the JOBID under JOB column disappear but all other column does not.
I has a strange question.My company is using a old system with Win NT 4.0 Server + MS SQL 7.0.The system is busy and handle a lot of SELECTs and INSERTs all the time.Sometimes, some transactions are blocked by some other transactions.For those INSERT transactions, we usually call a stored procedure and passparameters in to do the INSERT, at the end of the INSERT stored procedure,we always check @@ERROR = 0 and retrieve the @@IDENTITY (it is usually theauto number primary key) to confirm the INSERT is success. But the strangethings is, sometimes, @@ERROR is equals to 0 and I can get a value from@@IDENTITY but when I fetch the record by the primary key (the value of@@IDENTITY) it returns nothing!! The record is disappear and the primarykey is skipped! I found that this happens usually when the INSERT executeat the time when some other transactions are blocking. Anyone knows why therecord is disappear while @ERROR = 0 and the stored procedure can returnvalue from @@IDENTITY?? Anyone has such case happen in their server aswell? Please tell me some solutions on how to solve this, thank you x10000000 times.
Hello. I have a parameter with multi value option. When I run the report in Visual studio, The first value in the drop down of this parameter is (Select All). When I check this option it check all the other values for this parameter and when I unCheck this value it uncheck all the ther values for this parameter.
The problem is thet when I'm publishing the report to the server and then open it in IE the (Select All) value does't appear and I only get all the other values.
I work with multiple servers and I have system administrator rights on all server. My question is, why on some server when I click on a database it shows the General, Table & Index, Space Allocated tool bar, than if I go to a different server, click a database it does not show? I would like to see this toolbar on all my servers when I click a database. Thanks Reggie
I created a simple report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Its about getting the sales from specific date and store. My parameters are date and storename, the report works fine as I view it in the reportserver. But, when we incorporate the report in a custom webpage using a reportviewer, the parameter toolbar occupies half the space, now that's my problem. Is there anyway I can create a custom Toolbar in Visual Studio so I can just set the parameter property to hidden so the default parameter toolbar wont show?
Did you have any experience that all publications and their related jobs suddenly disappear?
I had a transactional pull replication between two servers, and distributor and subscriber in the same box; publisher was an AA cluster server. The schedule of pulling was once a week.
Last Friday morning everything was working perfectly, but I found all publications and their related jobs disappear around 5pm
I checked with the sysadmin and he said nothing was changed on that period.
Did you have any idea about it?
Did you have any idea that I can prevent this happen again or any alert I can set up to monitor who drop it, when it was dropped and so on?
It is a SQL 2000 box and system table doest not take trigger.
I just got a new computer (it is running XP) and after installing Visual Studio 2005 and then SQL Server 2005, If I open up an existing SSIS package the lines around the components are missing. If I click on the component and then click off the line reappears. Has anyone experienced a similare issue?
Hi, I am presenting some data fields value in the Page footer by using the referencing trick to textbox, exist in the body of the report.
Now the problem is while running localy i am getting all the field values as I want, but while exporting into PDF or printing the report I cant see those values in the footer.
while running the same report from report manager the arrangments of the textboxes in the footer got displaced.
Creating a SQL Agent job to run a package works just fine. On the Step Properties, Set values tab, I can add variables and the values I want for them, no problem. The job runs just fine. If I want to go edit the values however, they're always gone.
Is there some security setting that hides the variables and their values which is on by default?
For some reason instance MyServer/BBserver has stopped and I couldn't make it start so I decided to reboot the server. After reboot the MyServer/BBserver was working but when open the other instance MyServer using Management Studio the Database1 disappear and the Database2 can be accessed by MyServer/BBserver and MyServer instances.
