I'm trying to setup a dynamic ole db connection using the SA user ID, it has to be dynamic because the server name will change and it has to be SA because we're pulling information from system databases that some users don't have access to.
If I setup a regular static connection using SA credentials it works like a charm of course. When I create an expression to use the User:erver variable it doesn't work, it throws an error message saying that "The login failed for user sa" among other things, I'm thiking that the sa's password is not being saved.
Where exactly do I place a password for dynamic connections using sql server users? On the connection string? On the password property of the source? Any ideas?

Is there a way to find out my user id and password that should be used in my connection string? If I can not find this information out for myself, do I need to go to some type of system administrator.
Here is the connection string in my web.config file.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SPK" connectionString="Server=localhost; User ID=AppUser;Password=meander;Database=atstdb01;
Persist Security Info=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
When I access this connection string via my code, A little dialog box pops up with the following error message:
Login failed for user AppUser. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

Hi everyone,
I am working on a Hospital Information System project with a team of 6.Each one of us builds or modifies a part of the system and shares the project over a common repository. The problem here is that we use the absolute path of the database in our connection string. Although the directory structure of our project is the same for each member, since the main project folder itself is stored in different locations on each person's computer (for example, one may have it stored in c:My Documents and the other in d: My Documents), we are forced to modify the connection string manually each time someone else from the team updates the repository with the database. How do we make the path of the database relative so that we don't have to modify the connection string manually each time after receiving an update from the repository?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

We were able to use a dynamic connection string in the report designer, but once we deployed to the report server we are getting the following error:
Error during processing of the ConnectString expression of datasource €˜Dynam€™. Has anyone experienced this, and how did you fix it?

Our Reporting Services environment uses Oracle as the data source. Based upon the user connecting to the database determines what rows they will see for various tables. How can we dynamically pass the username/password to the connection string? Background: Our users log into Active Directory and are assigned to a group. The AD group name is used to access a control table in Oracle that contains the database username/password for that group€™s connection to Oracle. All subsequent connections to Oracle will use the group€™s username/password from the control table. We have an ASP.NET application that works like this and stores the connection information in the session state. How can we do something similar with our connection in Reporting Services? Note: Our Oracle Database does not use Windows Integration.

I need to be able to deploy my updated website to many customers on a monthly basis and dont want to be mucking around changing the connection strings each time. Some of my web servers have multiple copies of my site and DB so each website will need a different connection string.
The simplest method I could come up with is to use the Application Name field in IIS as it doesn't get overwritten by Visual Studio when I deploy the site.
I am trying to write some code to dynamically change the connection string in the web config but cannot find any way of reading the Application Name field in IIS to use in altering the connection string. I'm using the Global.asax file to change the connection string before the DB gets called.
I had tried embedding the DB in the website folder but it would overwrite the customers database.

i have successfully implemented a dynamic connection string based on a dropdown list of environments (dev, test, prod). it works well during testing in the vs2005 ide; but once i deploy it to the rs server, it complains that the credentials are not stored in the rs server database and won't run the report.
as in most large organizations, the developers do not have control over the rs server, so i cannot manipulate rs config or web config files on the server side; so, how do i get past this obstacle?
thanks in advance

This method has worked beautifully for all my SSIS pkgs thus far.
Basically, I use a Script Task to derive the name of the newest file in a local directory. Then I save the name of the file to user a user variable, e.g. User::File.
Then, in my flat file properties > Expressions, I set "ConnectionString" to reference User::File.
However, when attempting to use this method with an Excel source, I get this error message:
Error at myPkg [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: The connection string format is not valid. It must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, separated by semicolons. This error occurs when a connection string with zero components is set on database connection manager.
Error at myPkg: The result of the expression "@[User::Folder]+ @[User::File]" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
HELP......... I need this to work!
Thanks

I have a package where I need a dynamic connection string for an Analysis Services connection manager.
I have implemented this successfully for a Text data source, and a SQL data source, but the same approach does not seem to be working for an AS connection.
I set some expressions for the AS connection manager (ServerName, InitialCatalog, even the entire ConnectionString itself), but they don't take. I don't get any errors, but the task processes the cubes for the AS connection as it was established at run time. The design time connection string changes don't appear to get evaluated. This seems to be an issue only for AS connections.
Let me know if you have any ideas - thanks.

Hi, I'm a newbie to SSRS, and was wondering if anybody can shed light on a problem I have. I have a report which every client uses, but each client's data is held in its own database. Rather than create many reports, is it possible to create 1 report, which all can use, passing in the different datasource? I was thinking of a hidden parameter, passed by URL. Or maybe using the report viewer control in VS2005. Can anybody please help?
Thanks

I am facing a reporting service issue.
System information:
1. Our Reporting Server installed on a DB server.
2. We have one windows application which executes on the same server, which generates the reports snapshots.
3. One set of reports with single Shared data source
Scenario:
We have many countries for which report history snapshots needs to be generated. The report information is stored in different databases named as database_CountryCode on the same DB server.
Questions:
1. We need to dynamically change the shared data source connection string to point to the respective country database, when generating the report for that particular country. --> We found out this can be accomplised by using parameterized connection string in report specific data sources in SQL 2005. Can we achive something similar in SQL 2003 Reports as well?
2. We also need to instantiate the reporting service web service in multiple threads, one for each country, where in each thread picks up the corresponding country code, changes the connection string and generates reports snapshots. Can this be accomplished? I know this goes against the entire idea of licensing, but my question is just about feasibility of this idea.
Addnl Info
The CreateReportHistorySnapshot method of reportingservice.asmx returns a snapshotID, which is the timestamp of report snapshot creation. We tried creating the same report snapshot for the same country in 2 threads. Whenever the timestamp for both snapshots was same, only one report snapshot actually got created. Can this be overcome?

Hello.
I have packages that must generate log errors dynamically including time of execution and the name of the task.
I make it changing the properties of the connection inserting two expressions.
1.-I alter the File Usage Type to 1 to generate this files.
2.- I alter the connection string as: @[User::myvariable] +"constant_description"+ time description+ +".txt"
The time description is :
(DT_STR,40,1252) DAY (GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) MONTH( GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) YEAR( GETDATE())+" + REPLACE( (DT_STR,10,1252) (DT_DBTIME) GETDATE(),":","_")
But it is not the problem
In those packages I have one connector for all the tasks and in execution time it creates one file for each of the tasks.
The problem is the way I insert in the filename the task name.
I have a pre-execute event handler in each task that modifies a string variable( myvariable) appending the task name. When I execute de package it works great but when I only execute a task, the program do not enter in the event and do not put the task’s name.
How can I put that name without using that handler? There is another handler can I use to do it that happens before the system generates the new file name and after pre-execute? Anyone knows another way to do this kind of things?

Hi all,Suppose I have a SQL database table called Customer Info which contains six fields namely Customer ID, Address, First , Last Name , Password, and Time Remaining. The Time Remaining field contains the amount of time that a customer has before his or her password expires. I would like info in this field to be in hours and minutes and when it reaches zero, I would like the password to be deleted from the database. So I have two questions and please take into consideration that I am using dot net 2.0.1) Can this be done without having to write a custom function?2) If this can only be done by creating a custom function, how would I get the function to communicate with the database, in other words how would I let the function know that a customer's time is up? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for your help.

Is there any way to disable/uncheck this option by default?

We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.

All --
Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
Please advise.
Thank you.

I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Is this an intrinsic issue?

Both the OLE DB Connection and ADO.Net Connection in SSIS Package does not remember password.
Im connecting to a SQL Server 2000 box using its sa password as test.
The SSIS package runs fine when you first set up the connection in bids
The bottom line is that SSIS keeps forgetting the password I feed into
the two Connections that I'm using. I double-click a connection,
type the password in, check "Save my password" and hit "OK" but the
password disappears from there whenever I run the package or
double-click the connection again.
is there any known workaround for this issue as I would like to schedule my SSIS package using a SSIS Step in a SQL Server 2005 Agent job.
the only thing I found when googling this error was link below but the workaround described here is a little harsh
http://www.developersdex.com/sql/message.asp?p=1921&ID=%3C1146409399.447345.7470@j73g2000cwa.googlegroups.com%3E
thanks in advance
Dave
the box SSIS is running on is Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition latest service pack
SQL Server 2005 (no service packs )

Basically, I'm working on a stored procedure which will retrieve data based on study parameter passed. The datasource is 'Views'. The name of the view is same for every study except that there is corresponding study name included. For example the views names are something like this for study abc 'v_abc_form' and for study def 'v_def_form'.
Below is the select statement I'm trying to use by declaring @study variable but not able to succeed. I'm not sure how to make the table name dynamic.
Select C1, C2, C3
From v_@study_form
