Reporting Services :: Migrating All Crystal Reports Over To SSRS
Oct 16, 2015I am in the middle of migrating all Crystal Reports over to SSRS and am having some troubles converting formulas used in Crystal Reports to functional expressions in SSRS. For example: My formula for one of the crystal reports is the following. Very simple logic but how would I build it as an expression to work in my SSRS report?
IF {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY} < 0 THEN 0 ELSE {CUST_ORDER_LINE.ORDER_QTY}-{CUST_ORDER_LINE.TOTAL_SHIPPED_QTY}
Reports Usage Frequency For All The Existing Reports On SSRS 2000
Mar 18, 2008I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report.
I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.
Any help is appreciated

Can I Write SSRS 2008 Reports To Run On SQL 2005 SSRS?
Sep 12, 2007Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
Thanks!

Migrating To 2005 From 2000
Mar 26, 2008Guys! Very very junior in this migration part. Hope the seniors can help out....PLEASE!!!!!! Don't get me wrong asking you guys to spoon feed me. I have read a lot of articles and even BOL and also not to forget read millions of books on this. But just wanted to make sure that I am in the right path and want to do this without any problem. That's why I have decided to ask the Gurus here who have done this in past.
I have this machine now:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2040 (Intel X86)
Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: )
Migrating to this machine:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - (X64)
Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
I have these in the SQL Server 2000 box:
1. Databases, tables (of course)
2. Views
3. Securities(Logins, Roles, Password)
4. DTS packages
5. Jobs
6. Replications
7. Linked Servers
8. Stored Procedures
Every article is different. I was confused at a point of time. Please show me the right way guys!
Migrating From 32 Bit (2000) To 64 Bit (2005)
Mar 27, 2008Yesterday I started this topic and I came step by step higher and now I have finalized my steps to migrate.
Seniors and Gurus and who has done this before, please review and correct me where I am wrong and/or add some tips for me to have this one going on successfully! Thanking all of you guys in advance! Here is what I have:
Before Migrating:
1. Install Service Packs, Security Patches and Hot Fixes
2. Install DTS Designer Tool from Microsoft to prevent conflict and failure of migrating current DTS packages to SQL Server 2005
3. Backup EACH and EVERY Database and double check the .bak files whether it exist and backup was successful
4. Just before migrating, reboot the server to clarify that the SQL Server Services and SQL Server Agent is working
When you are ready to migrate:
5. Make sure there are no users trying to connect to the OLD AND the NEW SQL Server. Inform them well in advance about the downtime. Shutdown any applications or websites that might be accessing the SQL Server.
6. Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search Services on the NEW SQL Server
If downtime is not possible:
7. For ever changing OLTP database, by the time you restore the backup onto the new server, the old server would have received more changes. To avoid this problem, you need to resort to log shipping. Log shipping is nothing but an automated process of backup and restore. The following steps will explain the process of log shipping (Note that SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition provides inbuilt logs hipping. We don't need that for this purpose. We can simply create a job that backs up and restores the databases
8. Create a job on the old server, with two steps. The first steps backs up the transaction log of the OLTP database. The second step restores this transaction log backup file onto the new server, using WITH STANDBY or WITH NORECOVERY option of the RESTORE command. Schedule this job to run every 10 minutes or 15 minutes, depending on the volume of transactions your OLTP database receives
9. This job will take care of shipping all new transactions since the full database backup, to the database on the new server. Let this job run until you can afford some downtime on your production database (that is, mid-night, or early morning, or a planned maintenance window)
10. Now to be doubly sure, no new transactions are coming in, set the database in 'single user' or 'dbo use only' mode. Take one last transaction log backup of the production OLTP database, and restore it onto the database on new server. This time use the WITH RECOVERY option of the RESTORE command
11. Run UPDATE_STATISTIC on User Database to reorganize all indexes
Considerations:
12. Security - The security model changed along with object ownership, but users that own objects will be turned into schemas and all of the object and role permissions will come over. These you will want to look over afterwards, but they should be ok.
13. Unless you have hundreds of them, it is always better to re-create them after upgrading. You cannot detach an MSDB database on a 2000 server and attach it on a 2005 server and have it work. Fortunate in this, we can script out the jobs from SQL Server 2000 and run it on the new SQL Server 2005
14. Typically you will have to re-create your replication too. Again, the good news is that you can generate the scripts for replication on a 2000 server and execute them on a 2005 server and it will create the appropriate articles and publications
15. For DTS packages, it is always recommended to use the Package Migration wizard to do this so that less or no problems will be encountered. Consider about the jobs previously set.
16. Logins can be created by using sp_hexadecimal and sp_revlogin2005

Migrating 2000 To 2005 On Same Server
Apr 2, 2008Has anyone had experience of migrating from 2000 to 2005 on the same box , and maintaining the SERVERNAMEINSTANCE_NAME.
What are some effective ways of migrating and retaining the same servername/instance name ?
The issue revolves around minimising the use of extra boxes , as I would like to do the migration on the same server and keep the name the same .

MIgrating DTS Packages Of SQL 2000 To SQL 2005
Jan 5, 2007Hello All,
I am working on a migration project of my database(lets name it DB1), from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I have some DTS packages in my SQL 2000 database which also needs to be migrated to SSIS. These DTS packages currently interacts with other database(lets name it DB2) which is also in SQL 2000 and which does the data transmission. The real issue is that the other database(DB2) also has some DTS packages which also communicates with DB1 (the db to be upgraded) and so when i migrate my DB1 to SQL 2005, i will have to change my DB2 packages also (although the change will be minor). Now considering that in future I might also migrate my DB2 to SQL 2005 I wanted to know what will be the right approach to follow. One is to modify the DTS packages of DB2 to accmodate the change in connection and the other is to migrate the DTS packages of DB2 also to SSIS.
Can anyone help me with this one.
Thanks in Advance

Performance When Migrating From 2000 To 2005
Feb 10, 2008Hi guys
We are in the process of moving from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. In this process in general I have noticed that performance is better as a result of the move but in a couple of specific cases performance is about 10 time worse as a result of the move and i am wondering if anyone can tell me why.
1) Should I be noticing that calling functions from within a where clause are slower in 2005.
2) Has the and/or logic processing been changed between the different versions.
3) Why does this segment of code run really slow in 2005 but really fast in 2000 (note, i know that its not nice looking but it is pre-existing code from before we came on board and there are more examples of these so its a bit of a change to go through and fix it all up to what it should be but i need to know why before i can move on and as i said i know its not nice and one should expect it to be slow but i specially need to know why it would run fine in 2000 and not on 2005):
.....
AND (Deleted = 0)
AND (DATEDIFF(d, dbo.GetStartOfDate(ReviewedDate), dbo.GetStartOfDate(GETDATE())) = 3)
OR (ProgressPointId = 32)
AND (Deleted = 0)
AND (DATEDIFF(d, dbo.GetStartOfDate(ReviewedDate), dbo.GetStartOfDate(GETDATE())) = 3)
OR (ProgressPointId = 30)
AND (Deleted = 0)
AND (DATEDIFF(d, dbo.GetStartOfDate(ReviewedDate), dbo.GetStartOfDate(GETDATE())) = 3)

Issues After Migrating SQL 2000 Database SQL 2005
Feb 6, 2008Hi,
Currently we have SQL server 2000 database for past 3 to 4 years. Now planning to move SQL Server 2005. The SQL 2000 database will be restored to 2005 server.
My questions are,
1. The SQL 2000 queries, Stored proc and views will work with SQL server 2005 without any changes?
2. Do the SQL server 2005 have backward compatability with SQL Server 2000 or we need to convert any specific SQL script after converting to 2005.
3. Is there any issues after conversion?
Please help me in this area.
Thanks in Advance!

Migrating 2000 To Existing 2005 Instance
Mar 28, 2008
Hello,
I need to move a large number of reports from a 2000 reporting services install to 2005. I've used the RS Scripter utility with some success. The issue I'm having is migrating history.
Can history be migrated without upgrading the reportserver and temp db to 2005? We'd like to preserve our 2000 environment while we move...although I suppose we could create another RS instance and copy the database, do the upgrade - but how would we merge our existing 2005 install with the upgraded 2000.
Do I Need To Change Hardware When Migrating From SQL 2000 To SQL 2005?
Jun 7, 2007
Hi Everybody!!!!
Do I need to consider investing in new and more powerful hardware when migrating from SQL 2000 (or any other previous version) to SQL 2005?
I have a friend / client who migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 sp 1. The performance of the server got really bad, and now he's trying to fix the problem by any means necesary.
I think it would be very understandable if investing in hardware would be recommended, as we all have seen that there are so many new platforms to use and integrate to (.NET framework, XML, soap, ADO.NET, etc, etc,) and keeping the old platforms as compatible as always (ADODB, ODBC, etc.)
Any feedback is greatelly appreciated!!!!
