How Can I Automatically Edit A Reports Data Source?
Jan 5, 2008
Scenario:
I have 2 identical Analytics cubes, Cube 1 & 2, my reports point to Cube 1, when Cube 2 is refreshed the reports data source is manually repointed to the updated Cube 2. The following day the Cube 1 is refreshed and again the reports data source is edited and repointed back to Cube 1.
This ensures that if a cube build failes the reports aren't down.
To modify the data source I connect to Reporting Services using SSMS go to the Data source folder and manually edit the Data source.
I have looked through the Reporting database in SQL Server but didn't see anything that resembled the connection string for me to edit.
Are the connection strings for the Data sources stored in the Reporting Database ? Where can I find them?
Here is a Microsoft document that gave me the idea. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/bestpractice/scoqryas.mspx
It talks about changing the connections strings in the Web UI? But doesn't tell you how or point to any docs that do.
Is there a way to automate this and is anyone else running a similar setup.
I am trying to find a way of creating my Repoting Services reports of automatically refreshing once our ETL load has completd. I have created a process that creates a file is a particular directory once the data has completed loading however I am unsure how to make the report look for this file and then refresh the report.
I may be overthinking this, but I want to make sure this is right. If you have a processor license of SQL Server Standard running both Reporting Service databases and the IIS interface, isn't it true that the underlying licenses of other servers containing your data are irrelivent in the context of serving the reports over the web? Example. Server 1 has SSRS as described above, processor license of Standard. Server 2 has user license of SQL Enterprise and serves data to a couple of reports on Server 1. This does not violate a license, correct? Doesn't Server 1 just take one of the CALs from Server 2?
I have published SSRS reports to sharepoint and used the Reporting Services Report viewer to present the reports on a Page.  Everything works fine for the day, however in the morning, when I go to view the page, I get an error messageÂ
The report server cannot process the report. The data source connection information has been deleted. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference)
I'm working with the Dec CTP of SQL 2005 SP2 and the associated Sharepoint addin.
I've been able to get a report created in VS2005 and manually uploaded to the Document Library holding reports, and the report works when I open it (using an internal datasource, not shared).
My first problem is I can't get VS2005 to deploy datasources or reports to my doc library. I have configured TargetDataSourceFolder http://server/site/doclib TargetReportFolder http://server/site/doclib TargetServerURL http://server/
When I try to deploy my Shared Data Source, it asks me to login, and will not accept my credentials (I am farm administrator, and site collection administrator, and local administrator, and a site owner)
Secondly, for the report I manually uploaded, I can't edit it in Report Builder (from Sharepoint) because I get stuck on entering something that works into the Select Site or Server dialog box. I've tried http://server/ and http://server/site/ and http://server/site/doclib
Can reports be set up to run and print automatically to specific printers on a nightly basis. What I'm trying to accomplish is, I have 6 users who need to see specific transaction reports for thier department each day. Of course I don't want them to see the other departments reports.. What options do I have....
Hi, I am new to SQL Reporting Services and was wondering how to set it up so that the reports are automatically e-mailed to recipients if that is possible. Thanks, MKB
I'm hoping someone here will be able to guide me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out a way of looping through table columns or a flat file in which there will be three parameters every time. With these parameters I am then wanting to run a report using two of these parameters to feed into the report and then email this out to an email address which would be my third parameter. Does anyone here have any idea how I would go about doing this?
Is it possible to have a report automatically export the results to Excel, when the report is generated? ...rather than having to select the format and click Export? .Pl let me know-Thanks.
Take a Dataflow Task, with an OLEDB Source Component and an OLEDB Destination Component in it. The Source component's Source is stored in a SQLQuery variable, and the Destination component's Destination is stored in a TableName variable. The Dataflow Task is put into an For Loop container.
I just want to do one thing:
In the For Loop, everytime it send a new value to the SQLQuery variable and the TableName variable, then I could use it to transfer many tables in a same logic.
My question is: Really, I could send new values to the variables and make it go. But everytime it says "The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns." Because the external metadata was recorded and not be change automatically everytime of Loop.
How to update the source columns'metadata automatically?
, Hi In this code how can I create a new data source and new data source view and model and structure that it run dynamic. In this code I have a lot of errors, that they are about server and database don€™t have in current code, In this code, first I should definition server or no?
How can I create data source and data source view and model and structure? Please say code of that, and guide me. databasename and srv is unknown. Do I add other reference with analysis services? Please explain about these codes: ************************************************************************ 1) RelationalDataSource dsNew = new RelationalDataSource( datasourceName, Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID( datasourceName, typeof(RelationalDataSource)));
I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?

The error pasted above arose when I attempted to create a XML source based on a Crystal Reports XI report exported as XML. Is there any special modification to make to the XML exported from Crystal to allow SSIS to read it properly?
I'm having a bit of a nightmare with MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager(running on XP Pro SP2).
Basically I've been running it on my laptop and my desktop with no problems for months and suddenly I can't seem to edit any data in any table?
Basically I'm using Enterprise manager to connect the database which is hosted externally by Fasthosts. I've called them and explain the problem, they told me to increase my Query Timeout to 300 seconds, which I have done but still no joy.
I can open and query tables but when i simply open a table and return all rows, even the smallest of tables (i.e. just 2 rows) as soon as I try and edit even just a field containing a bit of data is just hangs for about a minute until I get the following error;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I've again called Fasthosts who assure me that it was working at their end etc and that was about all they could do !! very helpful...
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas ? As I really need to edit some data in the tables for a deadline and this is extremely frustating as it was working just a few days before. I've tried removing SQL server and re-installing but I'm still getting the same problem.
I have a sql express database with a couple tables of information. I have a user modifying one of these tables with a data access page using Office Web Controls.
To backtrack a bit, the sql db used to be an access db. The same user modifying the data the same way. I also had a asp page making odbc calls to the access db to lookup information. But if the data access page was open, the odbc page would error. So i moved the data to sql.
Now, I'm getting ready to setup an application to make odbc calls to the sql db. I still want the user to modify the data using the DAP. Should I allow the user to modify the live data used for the app or should I make a copy of the data everytime its updated?
hi everybody, i want to create data source and data source view for data mining, with using C Sharp. i have create data source and data source view and export to XML file, but when i change to another computer, run those XML file, it return error, when i run statement to create and biuld mining model, what can i change on xml or how to run XML on another computer sucessfully, and have i build data source and data source view, how to do it.?
Today I was making a few reports. When I tested the reports in Visual Studio, they worked great: I got the expected result. But when I deployed the reports to our reportserver the problem started. When I click on the directory in which my reports are deployed, I got my 4 reports. Till now everything worked correct. But when I click on a report to view the results it went wrong. I got an error: "Cannot create a connection to data source 'Live'" (Live is the name of our data source).
We are using the Windows Logons and I am sure that I have all the rights on the server, I gave myself 'sysadmin' rights, so it should work. I also have tried it with all the roles assigned on my account, but then it still won't work.
When I modify the data source, and set it to another server en database it works. The datasource 'Live' exists on a x64 MsSQL server, en the other datasource is on a x86 MsSQL server. Maybe that is the problem?
I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.
The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.
Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?
I have an existing SQL 7 server named HHARBR.

Hi Guys,I have editing a SQL Server table field that have long text data. I amupdating some text in this field. How can I update this field insteadof re-write all text. With the Select command its gives me completetext in one line and it hard to read it. Any idea. Thanks in AdvanceAdnan
I am using a business management software application that uses SQL Server 2012 for data storage. The application is one that stores data about the customer, and then displays as requested. On certain customers, once saved, no save of future edits will work. Once the save button is clicked, there is a momentary hula hoop, followed by nothing. You have to cancel to get out, and then going back you see that the data was not saved. This only happens on certain customers (however, once the problem develops for a certain customer, it is consistent) and newly created customers seem to work fine. I am thinking that the software app is fine since the save process would be the same each time the button was clicked, so I am thinking its a database problem.
I'm just posting this to make sure I didn't mess anything.
Is the only way to enter/edit table data (in grid view) is through the VS (Express) IDE?
The reason why I ask is because I installed the Sql Server 2008 developer trial to get the Management Studio and pretty much the only things I can do are create/edit/delete databases, tables and the like.
It would be nice for the Management Studio (and Express at that) to have those capabilites. It would be nice to not have to create connections in the VS IDE to diffferent databases to edit them. Opening up the Management Studio and selecting the database seems like the proper (if not accustomed) way to do it.
I created a user-defined datatype in Microsoft SQL server using the Enterprise Manager. But, I am not able to find options to edit this data type. There are options to delete but not for editing an existing user defined data type.
Can any one help me how to edit this user defined datatype ?
Also, are there any better ways to create and manage user defined data types in MS SQL ?
