History Of Report Definition File For Published Reports...
Jun 26, 2007
I would like to know if there is a way to maintain the history of changes to the reports that have been published to the report server?
I know that the report definitions get saved onto ReportServer database. But let's say a user makes a change to the published report and then saves it back to the server. And that the latest change was incorrect and I have to revert back to the previous version of the published report. Is there a way to do that? Does the report server maintain a history of previous versions.
There is a history for each report and I think that corresponds to the history of report executions (output data). But I am talking about the history of actual report definition.
Thanks for you help.

Hi,
I have a data table called STOCKPE which holds stock valuation information at the close of business each day. I wish to use reporting services to extract the data in this table on a daily basis and keep a daily history on the report server. I know I can do this - this isn't my problem.
When I have the history of this table on the report server, can the data that the reports on the report server hold be used as a datasource for another report?
I'm no expert in reporting services, so if this is possible, or if there's a better way of doing it, please use small words and short sentences. No offence intended to all the very well educated SQLRS wizards out there, it's just that I'm not one of them and your answer will be lost on me if you use a lot of abreviations and acronyms.
Thanks,
Chris

Can someone please tell me how to retrieve/query the list of fields from an entity of a report data model that has been published on the reporting server programmatically ?
I am trying to upload a report data model to the reporting server and planning to use that model as the data source and consume it through our existing web application?
Thank you ,

Hi,
I have created a report with the report server project template.
the report is created from stoked procedure having defaut input parameters.
With visual studio, i publish my report on reportserver. whenever i access to my report on this url :
http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fReport+Project4%2fReport4&rs:Command=Render. the created report is with the default parameters.
I would like to know if i can transmet parameters for the stocked procedure to build the report with the request i want.
I tried to put parameter directly in the url in this way
http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fReport+Project4%2fReport4&rs:Command=Render&@region='toto'
but without success.
my error message is that one
An attempt was made to set a report parameter '@region' that is not defined in this report. (rsUnknownReportParameter)
My stocked procedure is :
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER procedure [dbo].[akli] @region varchar ='m'
as
select * from dbo.Report2 where region=@region
The request used to buid the report ?
DECLARE @region varchar
EXECUTE dbo.akli @region
What is wrong in that ?
Thanks for your help.

Using MS SQL 200 SP4 with Reporting Services 2000 SP2 on Win 2003 Server SP1
Visual Studio .NET 2003 on different PC (Win XP SP2)
No problem creating reports or building solutions.
Problems develop when deploying report to Report Server.
Here is the Output:
------ Build started: Project: From CD, Configuration: Debug ------
Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings
------ Deploy started: Project: From CD, Configuration: Debug ------
Deploying to http://<server name>/ReportServer?%2f2nd
Deploying data source '/2nd/AdventureWorks2000'.
Deploying report 'Vendor Purchase Orders'.
The report definition is not valid. Details: Could not find schema
information for the element
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2003/10/reportdefinition:Report'.
Deploy complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
---------------------- Done ----------------------
Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped
Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped
These are my first attempts using report services. In a previous deployment
attempts it created the folder (named 2nd), but in another attempt (saving it
to the existing folder) I got the same result as you see above (I have also
tried with a new folder but no luck). This above output is from my last
attempt.
The Build error Task List states:
The Report Definition is not valid. Details: Could not find schema
information for the element
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2003/10/reportdefinition:report'.
The shema URL as above returns HTTP 404.
If I remove :report, I receive the page for Report Definition Language
Schema May 2004
Looking at the .rdl code the schema URL is as above without :report.
As you can imagine with a limited skill set in this area I am quite
confused. I have been doing alot of research but found nothing to help (or
that I understand will help) so far.
If anyone can help me get through this I would appreciate it.

Hello, I need to be able to view and save reports using Report Manager. However, I do not want some users the ability to upload files (need to prevent virus or bad files). It appears I need to select manage reports from the role definition in order for a user to save reports. but then i get the upload file link as well. Is there a way to manage reports but prevent upload file link?

I have been working on parameterised reports for quite a while and have a problem with a report that I cannot fathom despite days spent fiddling. I am hoping someone will be able to spot a silly mistake...
Basically, I am developing my report in VS2005 and it works perfectly. When I publish it to the reporting server I get an error: The 'pSite' parameter is missing a value.
I cannot understand why the report should fail when published.
Before anyone says it, yes I have deleted the published report and re-deployed so there should be no chance of any 'old' deployments messing things up!
Any obvious suggestions before I start posting code?!
Thanks all
Will

Hello, everyone
I generate a report (.RDL) using sql server 2005 reporting service. The tools is visual studio2005. I am runing it on windows server 2000 sp4.
Then I create a website and addin a page Default.aspx using reportviewer control to display the report (.RDL) I published in
Http://localhost/reportserver$Sqlexpress/Report Project1/Report1
The report simply just report a tables content and i can preview it by Ctrl+F5 without problem.
However, after I publish the website to localhost,which is Http://localhost/ViewReport/. I failed to open the report in http://localhost/viewreport/default.aspx The page is opened but there is a error message at the reportviewer portion.
" ASPNET user don't have permission to view the report.." something like that.
Anyone know what causes the problem?
I am thinking is it because I am using build in account "Local system" to run the Sql express 2005 Databaes and reporting service? But I have no choice, when I install the SQl express 2005, the only build in account I have is "Local System", but "Local Service " and" Network Service" is missing from my system. It is weird. Is it because of windows server 2000?
Any reply will be appreciated.

I have a 2005 .Net 2.0 solution that includes two projects, a windows project and a Reporting Services project. The report viewer is apart of the windows project and I am wanting to open reports in the RS project but keep getting a 'the report definition has not been specified' error.
I set the ReportPath to point to the physical path of the RS project but it does no good.
Anyone have any idea how to run a report that is not apart of the project?
Thanks.

comparing UNIQUEIDENTIFIER columns..This query returns several rows where the [ReportId] and [LastRunDate] columns are both NULL:
SELECT [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID]
, MAX([TimeStart]) [LastRunDate]
FROM [dbo].[Catalog] [c]
LEFT JOIN [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] [xl] on [c].[ItemID] = [xl].[ReportID]
WHERE [c].[Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source!
group by [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID]
order by 4
However, trying to just list catalog reports with no execution history returns 0 rows, but I'm expecting it to return a row for every NULL [ReportId] from the above query:
SELECT *
FROM [dbo].[Catalog]
WHERE [Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source!
AND [ItemID] NOT IN (SELECT [ReportID] FROM [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage])
I even tried casting [ItemId] and [ReportId] columns in the 2nd query to VARCHAR(255), and still got no rows, but the following queries return 0 rows and 1 row (respectively).
select * from [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] where [ReportID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1'
select * from [dbo].[Catalog] where [ItemID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1'

Hi there guys!!
I am having an issue with generating a table for an report on the fly. I have been referring to the example on www.gotreportviewer.com and their example works fine but when i attempt to do my own version (by adding the table, I get the following error:
The report definition is not valid. Details: The element 'TableColumns' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition' has incomplete content.
List of possible elements expected: 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition:TableColumn'.
From my understanding 'TableColumns' was not expected even though i reference it correctly in my code and I it is defined in the ReportDefinition. It also causes no problems for the example from the above website.
Can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks a million!

I am using the open source RDL generator project to create report definitions at runtime.
However, the RDL generator appears to generate code in an old rdl format.
When I copy the XML code into my report, I get the following message: "The file Report1.rdl must be converted to the current report definition format. After it has been coverted, you cannot edit this file with previous versions of Report Designer. Do you want to convert this file?"
After I convert the file, the report looks great.
The problem is that I don't want to have to copy the XML code to the report everytime and run this conversion. Is there any way to run the conversion from Visual Studio in my program? Then the XML code would be right from the get-go.

Anyone with any idea why am I getting this error?
The definition of report xxx is invalid. More than one data set, data region, or grouping in the report has the name €˜CustomerName€™. Data set, data region, and grouping names must be unique within a report.
I am doing a simple report from the TFS warehouse - and a single group with 1 detail line. The layout was done and it worked fine - then I deployed it and it works on the deployed site - but has stopped working in the Solution itself !!
I've even removed the Table and all fields from the Layout - and the Preview still gives the error.

I've been getting this error message a lot in recent days and I really don't know why.
When I preview the report in Visual Studio, the report runs without error.
When I integrated the report to run within the application, I kept getting the following error message:
"The source of the report definition has not been specified"...

To use Reporting Services as a rendering engine I want to configure a local user on the server that has only the minimum set of permissions and user rights. The server is W2K3 SP2 and SQL 9.0.3200.
In particular, this local user has been removed from the local "Users" group and so is the "Authenticated Users" built-in group. In Reporting Services, it is mapped to a role that only has the "Execute Report Definitions" task permission.
Then, following the details in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812614/ (Default permissions and user rights for IIS 6.0) I added all file security and local user rights required for "Users" and also granted and propagated "Read&Execute" on the "Reporting Services" folder and verified this using "Effective Permissions" on the ReportService2005.asmx file.
However, I still get 401 Unauthorized, also after a complete restart of all related machines and services.
Once I add the user or "Authenticated Users" back to "Users" everything works fine.
What permissions might I be missing? Where could I find those permission requirements documented?
I tried analyzing the 401 using auditing file and object access security but to no avail. There are no Failure audit entries in the Security log.
How can I investigate the minimum permission set?
What is the risk of leaving the user in the "Users" local group?
Any help appreciated.

Hi all,
I receive data via FTP to our webserver nightly as .txt files and .dic (if anybody is familiar with idx realtor websites, that's what this data is).
I've learned recently that I'm not going to be able to use Access to import or link to this data, so I'm trying to get my feet wet with SQL.
I have been practicing importing text files into SQL db, but I notice that the dts imports everything as varchar 8000, and that you can edit that. I've got a .dic file that accompanies every .txt file that contains definitions of each fieldname, fieldtype & length & I was wondering how to import that data as well, without having to manually retype everything.
I would be happy to email these text files to anybody willing to take a look.
Thanks,
Carrie

What object do I reference to use SSIS from Excel. I want to generate a flat file definition based on Excel. I have a lot of fields to import and I don't feel like creating them as flat file columns. I have a few tables and I get the source file format from the vendor in an Excel format. What I would like to do is generate a flat file connection in an empty package using VBA.

Hi All ,
I have a user in Report Manager as Browser.
I want this user to create report snapshots but when i give this permission to this user with Manage report history permission , this user can also make changes on execution properties and history properties of the report.
Is there a way to let the user only and only create & view report snapshots but not modify the execution and history properties of the report ?

Hi,
To programmatically invoke a subscription we can use -
exec ReportServer..AddEvent 'TimedSubscription', '575F96C6-A1BD-49FD-9C2F-934FC9658780'
How can we programmatically cause a Manual Report History Snapshot to be created.
I know it can be done using the Webservice. How would we do it using the ReportServer stored procedures. Which SP/SP's can we call. With what parameters.
TIA,
Sam.

Hi,
Is there a way of uploading column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition. Since I have over a dozen data sources to process each with around 200 columns and of course like many BI techies I have little immediate influence over the structure of these flat files. I just know that these data sources are business critical.
Judging by looking at similar threads I can't be the only one who would greatly benefit from being able to upload column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition as opposed to doing this manually.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.

I need to record in a table:
Who, When, What Field and New Value of Fields
When changes occur to an existing record.
The purpose is for users to occassionally view the changes. They'll want to be able to see the history of the record - who changed what and when.
I figured I'd add the needed code to the stored procedure that's doing the update for the record.
When the stored procedure is called to do the update, the PK and parameters are sent.
The SP could first retain the current state of the record from the disk,
then do the update, then "spin" thru the fields comparing the record state prior to the update and after. Differences could be parsed to a "Changes string" and in the end, this string is saved in a history record along with a few other fields:
Name, DateTime, Changes
FK to Changed Record: some int value
Name: Joe Blow
Date: 1/1/05 12:02pm
Changes: Severity: 23 Project: Everest Assigned Lab: 204
How does the above approach sound?
Is there a better way you'd suggest?
Any sample code for a system that spins thru the fields comparing 1 temporary record with another looking for changes?
Thanks,
Peter

We have a need to report on historical data when none exists in the database.
Create a tabular report rdl that is run on a regular schedule. This report run is saved as an Excel sheet that overwrites the previous run, which has the same name.
Report is designed to use two data sources--the database and and the previously run Excel sheet. The data is "merged" using the Lookup function thereby creating a new report that includes the history needed.

We are using SSRS 2012. Before we were with 2005. Both the versions have the problem. When a change made to parameters (like adding additional parameter to existing report or changing default value of parameter) using visual studio on developers machine and re-deploy to server, additional parameter or changes to parameter is not showing up. So, we are first deleting the report from server and then re-deploying. This works fine. But we realized that we are losing history of the report (like data related to this report run from execution log). We need the history of report. It is very important to top management to see the details.When I searched in forums, users say that it still exist in 2012 and 2014 and every one talks about deleting and re-deploying report. I would like to know if there is any other alternate route to redeploy additional parameter and not lose history.

i had setup the merge replication across the server but each next morning i find that replication syncronization has stop with following error
The merge process was unable to access row metadata at the 'Subscriber'. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to write to, or use SQL Profiler to determine the source of the failure. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200996)
for this i manually restrat the syn. agent by stopping and then starting agent.
plz tell me how can i fix this hell of message or tell me how i call start/stop merge agent on command line so that i make script starting and stoping agent as job and will configure to run every morning.
