I've got an xml and an xslt - I want to get that into reporting services. Right now I have a link to the xml file in a 'report', which will open it correctly and format with the xslt. I'd like it to display without going to an external link.
I know how to use an xml datasource, but I need the xslt applied, since it has some nice formatting in it - so i don't think that will work.
I'm trying to report on the results of a scripted ms baseline security analyzer of several servers - the style sheet lets you drill down and has links to the base reports.
I want to delete and recreate the master Database Device for purpose of shrinking the size of the device . I dont want to loose the Master db.
I thought of transfering the Master db to a different device, Delete and recreate the master device and then tranfer back the master db . and this is all done through the MS SQL enterprise Manager (SQL 6.5 ) Is this the safest eay to proceed with this task?
Can I use the XML task in SSIS to create an excel document? If so which operation type is best to do it with, XSLT?
I'm trying create excel files dynamically with nothing more than a SQL statement that I'm passing as a variable which generates XML. I would then like to take that variable and combine it with a template and create an excel document. Any help would be appreciated. I do not want to use the data flow because it requires all transformations ahead of time.
I've a xml file and I want to substitute some of the values from database in this xml using XSLT transformation making use of XML task. How can this be achieved?
I'm writing some code to generate RDL based on a set of existing tables that define reports. (Headings, columns etc.)
The options I'm exploring so far for doing this are as follows:
Use XMLTextWriter class Use XMLDocument class Use XMLSerialiser to serialse a set of classes made with XSD.EXE and Use XMLSerialiser to serialse a set of classes made with XSDObjectGen Use XSLT to convert MyReportDefinitionDataset.GetXML into RDL
Has anybody else out there seen other code that does anything like this or in general has any suggestions to help me narrow these options down?
Note:
I am hoping to allow users supplying RDL their own files as templates enabling them to define things like report header and footer etc. My code will take the Table element from the template RDL and replace it with my generated XML (Headings and columns etc.)
Any suggestions/help/existing sample code appreciated.
I have an XSLT transform that works perfectly using the msxsl.exe utility.
When the same XSL file is run through an SSIS XML transform, the character spacing and carriage returns embedded in the XSL templates are mostly (but not completely) dropped.
Any comments on why SSIS is behaving differently than msxsl.exe? What to do?
In the XML Task if you set the OperationType to XSLT, how do you pass arguments to the Transform like you would in .Net by using the XsltArgumentList class? Thanks.
Where does output from <xsl:message> stylesheet elements go? It's not in the Progress or Output window, and there doesn't seem to be a property that controls the destination for messages.
I'm reading over this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1884062&SiteID=1
and I'm kinda lost as to what to do to strip out the dtd from an XML file I am downloading. I do NOT know XSLT and for that reason, I can't follow his logic.
My SSIS package downloads my XML file just fine, now I need to do a strip of the DTD line in my XML Task.
The person who provided the solution in the above post said to do this...
Code Snippet Operation Type: XSLT Source Type: Variable Source: Variable's name containing the xml text Save Operation Result: True DestinationType: Variable OverwriteDestination: True Destination: Variable's name which is to contain the original xml minus the DTD. SecondOperandType: Variable
That stuff I understood. I'll replace variables with my files because they are stored that way, but from what I can tell, that's not my problem.
The stuff he says below this comment is going over my head like a ton of bricks. I can't figure out how to do it.
This is the kind of line of my XML that I want to strip out.
https://www.myaddy.com/pbdr.dtd"[]>
and then he said this...
Code Snippet Since XSL doesn't know about DTDs, telling it to copy everything strips out DTDs. Then use the Variable specified in the Xml task's SecondOperand as the Source data for the xml source.
A note on how to paste a multi-line xml document into a Integration Services String variable:
Integration Services String variables textboxes are not multi-line, in the Windows sense of a line (CR+LF),
So, in order to paste multi-line text (which xml docs almost always are), save a temporary copy with a unix line ending.
That is, create an xml file in visual studio, and paste your sample original xml in there. Go to File/Advanced Save options, and save the xml with the the settings of Encoding: Unicode (utf-8 without signature) - CodePage 65001, and most importantly, set the Line endings dropdown to "Unix (LF)".
After selecting "OK", copy and paste the text from Visual Studio's xml file editor into the IS variable, and you'll note all the xml data appears.
So can anyone walk me through a dummies version of what he is suggesting to do?
I have a simple report created with rs2005. I want to get the output exported (using the export options of rs2005) in a specific xml format, so I am using xslt transformation to get it proper.
My problem is that, when I'm doing this using my own machine (SQL Server 2005 32bit installed) everything works OK. BUT when I want to try it on a server that we are supposed to use it gives me a real bad error. On the server, if I have the report without using xslt, it gets exported OK but not in the correct format. I have tested the report on a 32 and on a 64 bit server, I have used either SP1 and SP2 but still can't get through. The error message appearring while I try to export in xml is "Server Error in '/Reports' Application. The XSLT path is invalid. It refers to an external resource, uses invalid syntax, or the XSLT was not found in the catalog."
I'm using some xslt documents to transform the xml output of my Reports but have come across two curiosities where the xslt filter seems to behave unusually.
Firstly, I need the final saved file to have an xml declaration, which I believe it should do by default. Even if I put omit-xml-declaration="no" in the xsl:output tag I don't get an xml declaration. At present we have a custom job that writes these declarations back into the xml after SRS has saved it.
Secondly and more importantly, I need to have some of my output tags wrapped in CDATA sections. I've tried using the cdata-section-elements attribute, again with no luck.
my XSLT looks something like this (simplified for space)
I need to convert an xml file that has an attribute(name). This xml file has to be converted using xsl into the XSLT file such that the tag should have the same structure along with it and its the tag-content also should be the value of the attribute.
I used to do this with classic asp but I'm not sure how to do it with .net.Basically I would take a table of Categories, Then I would loop through those. Within each loop I would call another stored procedure to get each item in that Category. I'll try to explain, Lets say category 2 has a player Reggie Bush and a player Drew Brees, and category 5 has Michael Vick, but the other categories have no items.Just for an example.. Category Table: ID Category1 Saints2 Falcons3 Bucaneers4 Chargers5 FalconsPlayer Table:ID CategoryID Player News Player Last Updated1 1 Reggie Bush Poetry in motion 9/21/20062 1 Drew Brees What shoulder injury? 9/18/20063 5 Michael Vick Break a leg, seriously. 9/20/2006 Basically I would need to display on a page:SaintsReggie BushPoetry in MotionFalconsMichael VickBreak a leg, seriously.So that the Drew Brees update doesnt display, only the Reggie Bush one, which is the latest.I have my stored procedures put together to do this. I just don't know how to loop through and display it on a page. Right now I have two datareaders in the code behind but ideally something like this, I would think the code would go on the page itself, around the html.
If String AB06 is then I need to get AB05; if it is AB11 I need to get AB10.
My select statement looks like this:
select 'AB'+(cast(substring(period,3,2) as int)-1) from table.
Result is AB6. But I want AB06 (ABzero6)
But when I do this, I'm getting AB6 instead of AB06. Can someone please tell me how to have '0' in front of 6? I guess when I cast it as integer, it is ignoring the leading 0.
I've managed to grouped by Category field nicely and added extra calculated column for handling to total plus as well as Total for each group plus added a new row for TOTAL in the TABLE and returned as follow:
Now I want to put another extra row underneath TOTAL for handling the calculated but the business rule is only for displaying from the first group for instance:
Code Snippet
TOTAL: $3032
Calculated Average per fruits: $1010.67 ($3032 / 3 UNITS).
3 UNITS is coming from Units for Apple and Banana.
I don't know if I can do this cause i did try to use
Code Snippet
=SUM(IIF(Fields!Category.value = "FRUITS", Fields!Units.Value, 0)) But it's successfully compiled but the report result error (#Error) on that field only. Any ideas?
I thought a simple like this can be handled quite easily instead of creating a new report view type in the the same dataset to handle this particular extra line.
I am trying to create a user permission system that is stored in a database. What is the best table structure for accomplishing this? How could I display the permissions in a grid? Currently I have a users table and a permissions table. I created a map between the two. However, I don't see how this allows me to display a grid. All my "columns" for permissions are actually rows from the permissions table. So ideally my grid would look something like this. User | P1 | P2 | P3 |A | T | F | T |B | T | T | T |Thanks for any help. I am relatively new to SQL so please explain gently.
Hi, I am a new VWD user and have been trying to set up a website that allows 1 user to upload images into to SQL Express database and then display them with a variety of other fields. I have searched the forums, several books and many ASP "training" websites to find out how to do this. Every website seems to teach how to display a list of employees or show photo gallery, but none explains how to upload an image, save it in the appropriate field(s) in the database, and then display it when requested in a Datagrid or Details View using VWD and SQL Express 2005 Can any one give me directions to a solution, or send me a simple solution to this? The best example of what I need is is a real estate listing, wherethe property for sale has 8 to 10 descriptive fields and 1 to 3 images that are displayed. Any help would be appreciated.

I have built an ADP for an internal project. The rpoblem I'm having is that one computer is not displaying reports. No matter who the user is it will not show the reports. I thought it might be a software issue/conflict, so I changed out the hardrive and started with a clean OS with only MS Office installed on it. I have also made sure that the users have access rights to SQL along with all sprocs used in the reports. But I'm still having the same problem. There are four other computers in the office that use the application and all work fine. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would be glad to hear them.
I basically want to display the single row that has the highest 'jobid' using a SP. I was playing with MAX(jobid) but getting errors about no group by, etc. Where do I begin with this?
SELECT Purchord, JobNo, Descr, customer, jobid FROM Jobs
I am hoping someone can help me on this. I have lost the ability to see tables in one database. I can see views and have full access rights on this database. I was trying to install OLAP Analysis on my PC and suddenly I lost this capability on one of the databases I access. Any thoughts? I have looked at everything I can find trying to fix this. Have re-installed and even cleared my user and re-added. It is something on my PC alone since it also affects anyone who signs on to my box.

My problem arises when I want to display First Name and Last Name for both the POCusername and the AssigneeUserName since FirstName and LastName columns exists once in the Personnel table. How can I display the columns twice. Lets say POCFirstName, POCLastName, AssigneeFirstName, and AssigneeLastName. Or this is something that can't be done.
The query below only display the Assignee info. Of course, I need to something else to display the POC info as well...don't where to go from here...
select tblPersonnel.FirstName, tblPersonnel.LastName, tblAsset.AssigneeUserName, tblAsset.POCUserName from tblVendor, tblAsset, tblPersonnel where and tblPersonnel.UserName = tblAsset.AssigneeUserName and tblAsset.POCUserName in(select tblPersonnel.UserName from tblAsset, tblPersonnel where tblPersonnel.UserName= tblAsset.POCUserName)

I want to use a hosting service that has ssrs capability. I am using asp to generate a website that's data driven by sql 2005. I want to know if it's possible to display the reports I've created to anyone on the web site with the use of URLs to the report rdl. Can this be done on an asp page or does it have to be an aspx page (.net)? It seems like this would be a very common application of sql and report services. Thank you for any help you can give me.
I've got a report with a table holding a subreport that contains a number of Dundas charts. Each of these charts displays A LOT of data.
Now... after deploying the report, only a few charts at the bottom of the report are displayed -- the rest display the Image-doesn't-exist icon (File image with red X across it). Can anyone tell me what's going on? My best guess is that this is a memory issue on the server side...

I'm having an issue where the Textbox in a RS Report (1 page) is not showing up. I have 4 reports all of which are basically the same except 1 or 2 different wordings however on all of them they are not showing up using http://localhost/reports . If i'm in Visual Studio and click on preview report I see everything just fine. But when I view online (pdf, html, excel) it does not show. The footer however shows up fine on all of them. Does anyone have a fix?
PS: The wierd thing is that on Production they are working but on the Test server they are not and nothing has changed. Both servers are running the same version of SQL 2005. I need to re-deploy the reports coming soon with changes but I am afraid that Production will stop working then.
