Is it possible for me to pass some parameters to the ssrs server and the server create the report and spit it out on a specified printer?
I have a situation where I am very limited in regards to rendering and printing. So, if I could just give ssrs some commands and it do the rest, that would be awesome.
I am using SQL 2005 reporting to produce reports for my employer. I have run into a problem with characters not printing properly after a report is generated. On a report of names, the last name "O'Neil" is being printed "O?Neil" (without the quotes) the ' is being replaced by a ? character. This problem only happens in one section of the report and not in other sections. The report looks correct (ie: The name is O'Neil) on a screen view and when exporting the data to Excel and as a pdf file both have the name "O'Neil" displayed properly.
I created a report with RS in VS.NEt and set the width and height to 8.5in by 11in from the property window. When I designed it , everything fit on one page nice and neat.
When printed it prints on two pages and the font size comes out much larger than expected. The whole document seems to have been blown up bigger and the right side of the document has been cut off. Why is this? Do I need to configure vs.net to print????
Am I missing some setting somewhere?
Other documents print out fine on this printer, so it is not the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
this seems small but if I can't get the report to print out right then..........
I have a variable defined as "Country". Based on the value, the header row printed needs to be different.
I've already created a 'HeaderRow' variable that I'm able to set using a script task. But how can you set the Header text value at run time from the variable? There is no expression defined for the Header with the Flat File Destination object, and when I attempt to reference the HeaderRow variable as the Header text, the variable name is printed as the header.
Another approach I tried was to write the Header Row separately through another data flow task, but the issue here is: what is the input source when all you have is a Country variable?
I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.
I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.
When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).
The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.
I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !
I have developed some report in Sql Server Reporting services my Page orientation is portrait that is report height and width are 8.5 and 11 respectively and margins are set to 0.3 in when it is printed the pages are printed more that actually viewed Pages.
I have a couple reports that have parameters on them. Problem is when the report is printed, the parameters are not displayed.
To solve this, I have added the selected values to the header section of the report in a text box. I now want to find away to hide these values when the report is being viewed on screen but visible when printed. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
I am playing with DBCC command to check the contsrainst on a perticular table (DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS ('myTable') WITH ALL_CONSTRAINTS), it always gives the following result:
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
I am having trouble with report results. The dataset(dynamic sql sp ) returns correct results for the parameters passed. But when report is previewed with same parameter values(that were supplied to dataset) the results are wrong. It works for certain results, but fails to display correct results for 2 of the categories. I tried deploying it to srvr. There too it fails for same 2 categories. I have been struggling with it all day.
The independently exceuted the sp with the same data supplied to rpt parameters - that also renders correctly.
Has any one faced this type of issue? Is this some type of caching issue? I am totally baffled!
I have a problem. I have developed a report. When i see the preview of the report there is no data coming up. On the other hand, when I deploy the report and execute the report from the report manager, I am able to see data for the report. It is pointing to the same database.
I feel i am missing something. Any help in this regard is welcome.

I am using Reporting Services 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and Oracle 8.x client. I have an issue when previewing the report in Visual Studio. I do not receive any errors€¦.. I just don€™t see any data. The strange thing is when I deploy the report and run the report in Report Manager there is data. I added the TNS and I set the credentials.
Does anyone else have an issue printing the first time from the preview window in the IDE?
I understand that they are fixing the issue with having to hit the print button twice, but even after that, the report appears to print, but never makes it to the printer.
I am now getting this error mesaage when I try to preview my report
[rsInvalidToggleItem] The table €˜table1€™ has €˜siteref€™ as a toggle item. Toggle items must be text boxes that share the same scope as the hidden item or are in a scope that contains the hidden item, and cannot be contained within the current report item unless current grouping scope has a Parent.
What does that mean in english?
Also, if I can't fix this, is there a way to get the one that is deployed and functional on the webserver back into the report designer and reverse engineer it?
I have not touched the groupings since vewiing it last. I have only been adjusting the value boxes of three fields that I had yet to get functional.
I am working with a report created by someone else using SQL Reporting Services. In layout view the background for the body of the report is set ti transparent; however, when I preview the report using print preview the background or margins of the pages are appearing as black - text boxes, tables, etc. appear according to the properties that have been set. As soon as I change the background color to say white the print preview looks fine. Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere that controls this?
Does anyone know, or direct me to an example of, how to print a SERVER report directly to a printer from a windows application? There are plenty of examples on the internet that shows how to do this with a local report but a SERVER report seems to be a whole other animal.
note: according to the product documentation parameterized queries should preview just fine. reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms139904.aspx
i have an OLE DB Source Data access mode: SQL command i began with a simple query, and it previews just fine
i have an existing user variable in my package. its being referenced successfully by an intial "execute sql task" i have. i then replace the where conditions with parameters. i click on "parameters..." and map the parameters to my variables. i click preview and an error appears.

There was an error displaying the preview Additional information: no value given for one or more required parameters. (Microsoft SQL Native Client)
The firefox preview comes totally messed up.One line overlapping over the other
In my report i have a table in which a row has 5 text boxes. the 3rd and 5th text box has can grow property set to true. i have tried placing the text boxes into rectangles but no help there. the text in that row still over laps . does anyone have any other fix for this?
Is there a way of previewing a report without executing the dataset? Problem is when I make changes to the layout of the report it is taking a while before the report renders.
While I am developing my reports and working on the layout, changing colours, fonts etc it would be good to have an option which uses local data only.
I am reposting this to a different forum, becasue I got not response... Using VS05 SP1 Pro SQL Express€¦ Take a simple stored procedure like the following to return a specific column from a specific row in a data table .... SELECT fld_IX_UserID FROM UserIDs WHERE (fld_UserID_Table_ID = @USERID_TABLE_ID) It works fine in Store Procedure, and if you create at table adapter to reference it, that works fine as well. Here is the issue. In the store procedure (i.e. under Server Explorer), when you execute the command to test it, it gives you the correct results. In Edit with Dataset Designer, Table Adapater, if you highlight it, right click preview data, it gives you incorrect results. In code, the table adapter gives you the correct resutls. In every case, Preview Results for a table adapter built on a stored procedure will give you the wrong results. This is clearly a bug and can result in a log of wasted time. Am I missing something? FYI, I realize I don't need to use the Table Adapater to execute the above stored procedure, but we are using table adapters for everything to be consistent. Thanks, Bob
I'm working on an invoice report, that requires borders around the whole report. I've got header, footer and body in the report. In the body section, i've got a table which shows line items for an invoice. So the table grows as per the no. of lines in the invoice. As said before I've got to have border around the report. I tried put info in ractangles with borders for header/footer and table with borders in body section. The borders appears fine for headers and footer ractangles but as the table grows/shrinks, border from body section is not continuous to the footer section. i.e. For an invoice with 2 line items the borders for table will appear for two lines only but i want it to be scratched up to the footer area regardless of no. of line items in the invoice.
I've also tried to use borders for header, footer and body sections itself rather than using ractangles. But then when i export the report to pdf and print from pdf, it looks fine but when i tried to print from report manger its missing right hand side border for page header, footer and body. I've made sure there is enough margin around report. Report body/header/footer are 19 cm wide that's mean the report still have 2 cm of space for margins. The left/right margin are 0.5 cm.
I've been trying to do various things for last 2 weeks but not getting anywhere. Can i anyone please help into this?
In my SSIS package, I connect to an external SQL server database. This external database supports a stored procedure that I need to execute to "retrieve data". So in my package, I set the DataAccess Mode property of my OLEDB datasource to "SQL Command" and I provide the command EXEC <proc_name> <Param>,<output_param>. (The proc has an output parameter). The preview shows all the columns and data, but somehow no columns are returned....so when I try to link this data source to a copy column task, I get an error saying the source does not have any columns...any idea why this could be happening. Thanks - Manmeet
Is it just me? Whenever I use the Preview button in the OLE DB Source Editor data flow component it takes forever to get results. Seriously, it took between 7 and 10 minutes to query a table (not even a view) in SQL Server and give me a lousy 200 rows back. That's not what I call a "preview...."

I have to try Report Designer Preview and i have to make a demo for a client.
I have 2 problems.
* We need Report Designer Preview to be the end-user Report Maker Tool. But, it doesn't have the Query Designer and the MDX Query Designer. In future version of MSSQL2008, is it integrated ?
* We work with MOSS 2007 and i just want to know if it's possible to deploy directy from Report Designer Preview to a Sharepoint with Reporting Services in Integrated Mode. If it's not, is it preview to have it ? and when ?
Thanks for your help. (if you know people from Microsoft who can help me for features in future version, thanks to forward me his email).
