Hello Everyone,
I am trying to personalze my reports for each user, for example: Say I have a report which takes in userName as a parameter and then generates the report. Is it possible to use the same userName that the user used to login to the reporting services enviornment. This way the user don't have to enter their userName to see the report, it will be entered by default.
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to capture the current users windows login and use that to personalize as report by displaying the users name at the top...or customizing report output by using the windows login as a query or report parameter.
Don't know if anyone has done this before -and I would really be wondered if not-: I want to show a list of available reports to a user. Since we are working with SharePoint Portal Server 2003 the webparts can't be used (need MOSS 2007 or WSS 3.0), but I really need to be able to build a dynamically generated list and show it on a sharepoint page.
My first idea is to build a report (kind of menu). I am already this far:
to get a list of reports with the active directory groups and their mapped roles: select u.UserName, c.Path, r.RoleName
from PolicyUserRole pur
left join Users u on pur.userID=u.userID
left join Roles r on pur.roleID=r.roleID
left join Catalog c on pur.policyID=c.policyID
order by u.UserName, c.Path, r.RoleName
I managed to link active directory via LDAP - linked server. I even managed to get a list of users and groups. Unfortunately I cannot check whether a user belongs to a group (any idea?), since all of our security (on sql server) is managed by active directory groups this really is a problem.
Or am I completely wrong and is there another way to fetch a list of reports for a user?
Hi, i have a prob;lem while using report manager.when i login As "administrator" to the report manager i can see all the folders and i can check also reports. when i create new users with some role and i login as new user i can see the specified folder and report but when i click to see the report this message appear: " Your browser does not support scripts or has been configured not to allow scripts". Note that these same reports i can check them when i login as administrator
i am using sql server 2005
please it's important to resolve this problem as soos as possible thx labiba
My PC is in the domain group of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service, so I can publish the reports. After the reports were published, I can viw the reports from ASP.NET application on the web server, but everyone else was prompted for login. Only my login can view the reports. What can I do to let others to open the reports with the same web application? Thanks.
Up to this point only two of use, both server administrators, have developed reports. Now we need to add two new report analysts to be able to develop reports in BIDS but limit their access to other server folders, etc. Our report source code is located at G:Visual Studio 2005 Source CodeProjects and all report folders, sln files, etc. are located under the Projects sub-folder. I have shared the Projects sub-folder and given read & execute / list folder contents / read / write / modify rights. They can see the report folders and sln files via BIDS or Explorer but get "access denied" when they attempt to execute one of them. Any thoughts on what I may be missing?
I'm using SSR5 2005. I have a set of Cubes. Any idea as how to created customized reports using SSRS. The end user should be able to create reports by himself. Please help or send me some links where I can get help in this regard.
I'm new to SQL Reporting Services and I've been asked to create an online environment for a client where their customers can log on and view a report. The client wants to make sure that each customer can only see data that is relevant to them, and that other customer's information is hidden from whoever is logged on.
Can this be done through a username/password setup or is the solution more complex?
I have some reports running CRM data. It's basically a sales dashboard that shows each user their pipeline values. Since each user has rights to see more than just the opportunities they own, I had a filter on the report in the SQL WHERE clause. It said
WHERE @UserID = systemuser.DomainName.
The @UserID parameter's value was
=User!UserID, which brought back the logged-in user's domain name, which matched the field in my WHERE clause.
Now, in CRM 4.0, to eliminate the need for a VPN to access reports, everyone who accesses a report is logged in as NT Authority Network Service. Does anyone know if there's still a way to access the person's domain identity?

This is a pretty simple query that tracks 'yesterdays' apply clicks on our website.
SELECT MIN(A.hitDate) AS minDate, D.AffiliateName, B.ProdType, COUNT(DISTINCT A.ipAddress) AS TOTAL FROM ArchiveApplyTracking A LEFT OUTER JOIN Configuration.dbo.Affiliates D ON A.affiliateID = D.AffiliateID LEFT OUTER JOIN Incoming C ON A.campaignID = C.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN Configuration.dbo.ProductType B ON A.productTypeID = B.ProdNo WHERE (A.hitDate >= DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE() - 1), 0)) AND (A.hitDate < DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 0)) AND (A.deal = 1) AND (A.ipAddress NOT IN (SELECT ipAddress FROM [Tracking].[dbo].ipTracking)) AND (B.ProdType NOT LIKE 'refused%') AND (D.AffiliateName LIKE 'ARROW%') AND (B.ProdType NOT LIKE '%prequalify%') GROUP BY D.AffiliateName, B.ProdType ORDER BY D.AffiliateName
No problem there, that's fine.
But how can i put a simple date range interface on my published report so users can say "get me the stats from 04/09/2005 to 20/09/2005, which then runs the query?
Ideally, I'd like to have the reports use windows authentication, ie grab current user/password so long as user does not have to enter it manually. If that is not possible, then how do I make it so user does not have to enter this info manually? My theory is that I have IIS set up incorrectly for doing this, but I'm not familiar enough with either reporting services or IIS to find out.
I'm a beginner to Report Services, and have tons of questions.
Here's the first one:
if the reports are created based on the condition that the user selects, how can I create the reports with Report Services?
For example,
the user can select the fields that will be shown on the reports, as well as the group fields, the sort fields and restrict fields. So I would not be able to pre-create all possible reports and deploy them to the report server, and I think I should create the reports dynamicly based on what the user select.
Could someone tell me how to do it (create and deploy the reports)?
I have some sensitive and non-sensitive info/fields in one of my reports. Is there a way to hide/show the info based on the logged in user? or do I have to create separte reports for each type of info like one for sensitive and another one for non-sensitive info.
I have created some reports using Report Builder however they autorun with default values when selected in report manager, cant think many people would want this to happen. Is there a way of getting rid of the default values in RB or preventing auto execute in RM?
I have deployed some reports on the reporting server, i have noticed that every one in the domain in which the reports are published can access the reports, except one user. when he tries to access the report he got the following error message or the blank report.
"An error occured during report processing"
"can no read the next data row for the data set dataset1".
Although this user has all the roles on the reporiting server kike browser,content manager etc.
This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database) Help pleaseee
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.
I 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.

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID. I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data: 1 - 50 60 - 80 150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.

When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database. When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and push 'Test connection' button. everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things, from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore.... it only work when i restart the computer.
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.

I would like to know if there is a way to find out who changed a users roles/access WITHOUT using the audit function. For example, if a user account was created and given SA access then changed to read only, how can I find out who made that change? I tried searching for an answer, but kept getting no results. I'm thinking this may tie into the sys.sysusers view?
I have several reports for users to view on our Intranet. After installation of SQL 2005 SP2 patch, I cannot delete user or user's authority from Report in Properties Tab. An error message was shown on the status bar. It indicated that JavaScript Error: 'Return' statement outside of function. Seems something wrong with the 'Delete' funciton in SQL 2005 after update. The other functions worked fine. Could you point me out how to fix it or need to install any updates / hotfix. Thanks a lot!
Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005. I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue. I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....". Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively. My connection string is: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
