Is It Possible To Render Multiple Reports Into A Single Report ??
Jul 20, 2007
Hi,
I have an application wherein I need to generate a single report(possibly in PDF format) which contains more than one report. Iam using SSRS 2005. In my application Iam using report server url to render reports. The below is URL for rendering single report.
I am using SS 2005 RS. I am able to generate single page pdf reports by passing "id" as a parameter. Now I need to send multiple ids as parameter and generate one big report which would contain reports for all the ids supplied on separate pages. Is this possible? If yes, then how do i do this.
What I have tried so far is, I created new report with a list control and added single page report as a subreport to this list control and grouped this list control using id parameter. When i send multiple ids in the parameter, for example 3 ids, it generates 3 page report but only for the first id. So it generates report for the first id and repeats same report 3 times.
So I get the basics, have a script that can deploy a single report to a single server. I have other simple scripts that work as well. Now I want a script that can deploy a single report to multiple Sharepoint servers. I have about 30. I know we are probably doing this wrong, as in, we shouldn't be deploying the same report to 30 sites, as they are all all technically all on the same server however they are all independent site collections so as far as I know there is no way to deploy them to a central location and then link to them from each site.
So I tried to copy elements of my single report deploy script and duplicate the Sub Main() to Sub Main1() and Sub Main2() with multiple "ParentPath1" dims, yes I know I'm stupid. That obviously didn't work. So looking at some other scripts including my own subscription updater and I'm sure I need to do some kind of "For Each item in X" but where to start. The other lists I've seen all come from rs.Something. My list is just 30 variables in the script, how can I say for each site in this list, Publish this report?
Here's the simple script that works fine. I just don't know how to modify it to make it deploy this to multiple sites. After I figure that out, I was going to accept the challenge of deploying multiple reports to multiple sites in a single script...
Dim warnings As Warning() = Nothing Dim parentFolder As String = "Reports" Dim filePath As String = "filepath" Dim reportName As String = "Report file name" Dim parentPath As String = "Sharepoint site URL" Public Sub Main()
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render multiple reports into one output file. So, for example, say we have four reports and when the user asks for the reports to be generated, we would like to have all four reports come out in one PDF (or Excel or HTML) file instead of four separate files. I hope this makes sense.
Is there any way to render multiple reports to one output file?
Is there a way to include multiple render formats within a single subscription? For instance, web format to be included in body of email and exel format as an attachment.
I attempted this with data-driven subscription, but was only able to acheive multiple render formats across multiple communications within a single subscription - not at all what I want.
I would prefer not to have to send out 2 separate communications in order to provide both web format AND excel format reports to my audience.
The version of Report Builder I have will only let me choose from a very limited range of layouts. For example, the tabular layout displays a single table on a page.
Is there a way to produce a report containing two tables and other fields?
For example, I would like to create a very simple customer report with customer name and address at the top, then a table containing all contacts I have for the the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer) and then a second table containing all the orders from the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer).
Is this possible in the current version of Report Builder or is it planned in a future relase?
P.S. I know this is easy in VS Report Designer but I specifically want to do this in Report Builder. The Report Designer client is simply too complex for my non-technical user base. Report Builder would be ideal.
how to count from multiple tables. So currently I pull two separate reports to show the count of TaskIDs by customer state and another to show WrapID by Customer state for last month:
TaskID Count by Customer state Query: --------------------------------------- SELECT CU.CustomerState as 'State' ,Count (CM.TaskID) as 'CaseCount' From Customer CU LEFT OUTER JOIN ACN_CCPCaseManagementTask CM ON CU.CustID=CM.CustID
[code]...
I am wanting to add both these counts into a single report so i tried the follow query but the counts don't match to the reports I pull separately.
SELECT CU.CustomerState as 'State' ,Count (CM.TaskID) as 'CaseCount' ,Count (CW.WrapCodeID) as 'WrapCount' From Customer CU LEFT OUTER JOIN ACN_CCPCaseManagementTask CM ON CU.CustID=CM.CustID LEFT OUTER JOIN acn_ccpwrapcode
In my form i have a list box and i need to display paticular records of all employees I selected.So please tell me how to pass multiple values from a single parameter.
currently i am able to pass single value through a parameter using following code
osqlreport.reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("http://localhost/reportserver");
I am using SQL RS 2005. I have a report that is using multiple data sources from different offices. I can add these data sources in my report but is it possible that I can select a specific data source based on a selected parameter value. In this case user from each office, select their office location and be able to see the data from their office. I would appreciate any suggestions. Sal
I have a Report which has 8 stored procedures to get 8 resultant data sets . the stored procedures are almost similar such that they have only difference is the where clause and column getting returned.
So ,every stored access same set of tables and temporary tables getting created to store some set of active data derived from big table.
what happening is ,when i run the stored procedures individually in query analyser ,it is taking the time which is accepatable individually,but when i keep them in the same report. it is taking the time which is equal to sum of all the times taken by the stored procedures ran individually in query analyser which is some what not acceptable
can anybody through an idea,what can be done here. i already thought of locks and kept set transaction isolation level read uncomitted for all the stored procedures.but the time taking is same.
I have multiple data sources that I would like to use for a single report. The data sources are separate due to security requirements. I have a table that I can get the Initial Catalog from. How do I get that field from the database into the data source connection string at run time?
I saw this link here but the light bulb didn't go off:
The goal is to produce a single PDF consisting of a number of subreports. Some are landscape, others are portrait. The subreports may also be run as independent reports. The master report that contains them defaults to the width of the widest subreport, which is landscape. This causes all portrait subreports to spill over producing blank pages. Are there any work-arounds to concatenate multiple, single report PDFs into a single PDF and have page numbering too?
I am using the asp.net web application and microsoft visual studio reportviewer control and rdlc for creating a report ( not using sql server reporting). I used the Product table to view the result. It has five fields and I display all the itemsin the report. One field is Description and it store the html code as the value(eg:<div><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul><b>aaaa</b></div>). I want to disply the output of this html code in my report's description field. But in my report, it shows the html value that I stored in my table (:<div><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul><b>aaaa</b></div>). How can I render the html in my report. Please give me a solution.
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and looking to render our reports to Microsoft Word format. We€™ve searched around and haven€™t really found any useful information on how to do this.
Is Microsoft planning on releasing a Word rendering extension? If so, when?
Has anyone written a custom rendering extension for Word? Or, does anyone know how to write a custom rendering extension for Word?
We need either a Microsoft solution that€™s already built-in to Reporting Services or a solid, free solution. We are not in the market of buying a third-party product like OfficeWriter.
I am writing an app that will allow a user to select various information for displaying in a report. The sql is dynamically generated when the user clicks on "Get Report". Currently, I am using a gridview with a datasource and I pass the query to the datasource and it displays in the grid view. However, our company has expressed a need to migrate reporting to SSRS.
Is there any way that I can use dynamic sql with a template report and feed the dynamic sql to it so that all I would have to do is write a single rdl or rdlc and pass it the sql?
Alternatively, is there a way to have One ReportViewer show multiple parameterized reports. Ie. User selects the report from a dropdown and then selects the parameter options from other dropdowns and when they click "get report" it loads the chosen report with the parameters?
I would like to know if it is possible to have different applications on separate report servers sharing one report server database. If so are there possible issues or ptfalls to this type of architecture?
i got through the installation of the Sql Server 2000 Reporting services evaluation and managed to deploy a couple reports and a shared data source to my reporting server on my DEV box.
Now im trying to view the reports i made online and they never render, all i get is the animated gif that always says "Report is being generated". This goes on and on with apparently no end in sight.
I CAN preview the reports in VS 2003 and they render almost instantly. there are no differences that may affect the connection to the database between my development computer (with VS 2003) and the server that the reporting server is on.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this may be happening ?
Why is taking so long to open/create/render the reports for the first time? Is there any configuration to change this? I don€™t think this behavior is related to Report Execution or cache! I think there is something else going on! Thanks.
I'm trying to create a report that will be data-driven and produce multiple reports based on a parameter. For example, 5 reports go out today based on invoice numbers from yesterday. Each invoice can have multiple trasnsaction lines and each line contains the invoice number. What I have so far is only taking the first invoice number (let's say it has 10 transactions) and sending me the same report 10 times and stopping.
I get nothing for the remaining 4 invoices/reports. Here is what I have. To me this should enter the distinct invoice no's from yesterday into #temp, while a invoice no exiists begin query with one invoice selected from #temp then delete that invoice no and select another one and repeat till no more invoice no's. But it's only going through the one invoice no.
select distinct InvoiceNo into #temp from table where Invoicedate between getdate()-1 and getdate() declare @InvoiceNo VARCHAR(25)
I've got a SQL Reporting Server 2000 SP2 report that takes 3 parameters. FromDT, ToDT, and LocationCD. The first two parameters are free form text fields that expect a date. The last one is a drop down box. For some reason, when I'm viewing the report through the standard reports folder on the report server I have to click the "View Report" button two times to get the report to render. Clicking it just once, doesn't seem to do anything. The report is a line graph.
There are default values in the FromDT and ToDT parameter fields.
Anyone have any ideas what would be causing the need for the second click?
Hello All, I have a report which throwing this error:
Cannot read the next data row for the data set ALERTSBYSERVERS. (rsErrorReadingNextDataRow) Get Online Help Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime
This report can be viewed on the Visual Studio, but is not rendering it on the Reporting console. Any ideas??
Can anybody tell me if it's possible to set a report to render directly to PDF please. I've found stuff on how to do it via a url but that's not how we want to do it.
I've got a complex report with many subreports that is running on a reporting services 2005 machine with sp2 installed. The report was working well, producing a 2800 page report in under 10 minutes. I made a change to an expression in a table's column header and one change to the detail and the report stopped working. It would just hang for hours with no messages in the logs.
I tried to simplify what the report server had to do by removing the sum's to the database side's stored proc but that didn't work. I finally managed to get the report to work by removing a totals section to a subreport. I've also had the same hanging condition occur when I merged some columns in the table. I also found a workaround for this problem.
Is anyone else finding problems like this? They don't seem to be code related.
Is there a limit to how complex a report can be in reporting services or the PDF rendering part of the process?
I seem to be unable to pass parameters from a VB .Net application to Reporting Services.
Before I added the parameters to the query, I got all the rows back. So I know the application is basically working. Now that I have added the parameters, I get nothing.
I thought the SetExecutionParameters function would help, but my syntax is wrong and it fails.
I would appreciate any hint as to what step I am missing.
Report setup:
Parameters
Name Value @Report =Parameters!Report.Value @Corp =Parameters!Corp.Value @Dept =Parameters!Dept.Value
Query conditions
WHERE Report = 'BudgetVarianceSummary' AND PeriodEnd = CONVERT(DateTime,CONVERT(char,GETDATE()- DATEPART(day,GETDATE()),112)) AND Report = @Report AND Corp = @Corp AND Dept = @Dept
VB Code snippet:
Dim reportPath As String = "/FinancialReports/BudgetVarianceSummary" Dim format As String = "PDF"
' Prepare report parameter. Dim parameters(3) As ParameterValue parameters(0) = New ParameterValue() parameters(0).Name = "Report" parameters(0).Value = "BudgetVarianceSummary" parameters(1) = New ParameterValue() parameters(1).Name = "Corp" parameters(1).Value = "10" parameters(2) = New ParameterValue() parameters(2).Name = "Dept" parameters(2).Value = "7255"

I am trying to redo an app that I built to gen reoprts from the command line in a specified format using RS 2000 to use RS 2005. However, I am having a problem using rs.exe to render a report. It looks like the rs.Render method no longer exists. It also looks like you can no longer get to these methods from the rs.exe environment.
Is it still possible to render reports using rs.exe? If so, can somebody please provide an example?
We have written a C# program in which we want to execute a SQL Report and return the report as a PDF
When we execute our code we get a message that System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The item '/production/Sudhir' cannot be found. ---> What Is syntax for ReportExecutionService.render(string report) How do we define the string report?
ReportService.ReportingService rs = new ReportService.ReportingService();
result = rs.Render("/production/Sudhir", "PDF", null, null, null, null, null, out encoding, out mimetype, out parametersUsed, out warnings, out streamids);
I have 2 reports that report on baiscally the same thing, just group differently.
Report 1 groups summary phone call stats by Department, Day, and Hour - which are all drop down options. This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see daily stats ... the daily stats can then be expanded to see the hourly stats.
Kinda Like: ------------------------- -Department 1 -10/1/2007 12:00 AM 1:00 AM +10/2/2007
+Department 2 -------------------------
Report 2 shows the same summary stats by department and extension - which is also a drop down option. This means that the department summary stats are shown when the reports are rendered and can be expanded to see summary stats for each extension.
The queries for these reports run from the Management Studio in about 10 seconds each with the Report 1 query returning about 800 rows for the month of October 2007 and the Report 2 query returning about 30 rows for the same date range.
When the reports are rendered, Report 1 (with 800 rows) is rendered in about 20 seconds, while Report 2 (with only 30 rows) takes about 5 minutes to render.
The reports themselves are very similar, with the only difference being the grouping. It is weird that the report that returns the samller Dataset is actually taking longer to render.
One thing I did try was running the queries from the Data tab of the .rdl files (in visual studio) and the query for Report 2 took about 4 minutes to return data, while (as I mentioned above) it ran in about 10 seconds in Management Studio.
I want to display a varbinary field in the reports. the field contains value "<B> example </B>. When viewed in report viewer, it displays the value as such.
I know I can display the time that the report was generated, but can I display how LONG it took for the report to complete?
From when the first query was executed to the time all the data was returned and/or the time it took for the report to be rendered back to the end user?
I am trying to export a report into a format whiich I will then allow the user to make some final editions to prior to printing. Apparently LocalReport>Render does not support word format, however is supports others, what is the best format for me to export a report out into in order to then allow the user to edit it prior to printing, Ideally I would have just liked to lauch ms word and allow the user to edit the report if disired prior ro printing, but if I first export to .mhtml it seems to mess the column widths of the report up when opened in word..
