Reporting Services :: Implementing SSRS In A New Environment
Nov 12, 2015
I've been charged with architecting a new SSRS solution for our environment. We're mainly a .NET shop which works with an Oracle Database Server. Our developers want to start using SSRS for report creation and I'm not sure what is the best approach when it comes to this. Normally most of our environments have 3 separate servers, each one is DEV, QA and Prod. With SSRS however, i know that you can create multiple folders each with its own datasource connection, so i wonder if it would be better to just have one server were the developers develop their reports and then move them into a 'production' folder. (Any particular downsides to this approach?)
Also, are there considerations to be taken say, to tune Production SSRS vs a development SSRS or is that not really an issue? Besides that any other resources or tips for implementing SSRS for the first time, we're not going to do much with the actual databases to start we're just going to connect to our main Oracle database.
I am setting up sharepoint and sql server integration environment. I am considering the following topology: PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 and Reporting Services in SharePoint mode Two Server Deployment
[URL]
I am looking to follow the topology example by the letter, which involves installing PowerPivot for SharePoint (aka SSAS in SharePoint mode) in the same server as my SQL, and installing SSRS in SharePoint (SP) integrated mode in the same server as SharePoint.
I understand, however, that if I wanted to install SSRS in SP mode in the same server as SQL, I could but only if the server contains the SP Object Model.
My first question is, what would involve having the SP Object Model in the SQL Server?
Would only installing SP binaries be enough; or Do I need to do a minimal install of SP in the SQL server enough for it to joing the SP farm? And most importantly, what would be the licensing implications for SP in case I want proceed down this route and have SSRS in SharePoint mode installed in the same server as the SQL?
I'm creating a report in reporting services wherein i would like to give a drop down box for selecting the respective database for which a report is to generated. Is there a way of goin about this...Pls help.
I use xml to create a checkbox control on a filter page. The reports runs when it is checked. However, when the checkbox is unchecked it complains about the parameter missing. Any solutiion?
I've been parachuted into a place with a few dozen servers, several thousand external users (and scheduled to grow). Right now the whole place - IT and non-IT alike - l logs in with SA.....
(where's the 'Puking' icon??)
They've got Windows logins, but that's about as tight as it gets. Honestly I've never seen anywhere as insecure....and not sure where to start.
I am looking for some assistance from the grand knowledgebase out there concerning the implementation of Sql Server Express 2005 on a client's strict domain environment.
I am designing and implementing a pos software that resides on registers and a server within a number of stores. The registers are running WePos and the server is running Server 2003. I run an instance of sql server express on all devices. The registers read the server when it can see it but when it cannot it reads the local instance. I am seeing a number of performance issues and I am trying to tweek the installation and coding of SSE on all devices.
Is there a development environment for Reporting Services (2005) that is integrated with source control?
You can use Visual Studio to develop reports and place them under source control. But as far as I can tell, you cannot implement security, scheduling, etc. through Visual Studio. For these you can use a second environment, e.g. SQL Server Management Studio - but is this environment integrated with TFS?
In other words, is there a single development environment, integrated with TFS, where you can develop all aspects of Reporting Services reports?
We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.
We built our prod server [vm] with SQL Server 2008 R2 on Server 2008 R2. It works nicely. Then we made a copy of the VM and renamed it (so our test environment would be IDENTICAL to production). After that, SSRS was broken: I get "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." I can't connect via http, or SSMS.
We have tried:
* Running SSRS config tool (several times)
* Running with/without the IIS Server Role
* Dropping & recreating the SSRS keys
* Recreating the ReportServer database, etc
* Checking all of the accounts, permissions, etc
* Running SQL Repair
* Going through the registry to fix any references to the machine's old name
* Uninstalling, reinstalling SSRS
* Completely uninstalling ALL of the parts of SQL Server 2008 R2, deleting all directories, removing references to SQL Server from the registry, rebooting, reinstalling everything.
None of this has worked. SSRS [R2] is still 503 on our test box.
the SSRS [NT] service seems to run, without error. The Event Viewer doesn't seem to be recording any errors. The SSRS logs say that the default URL is wrong, but we get the same error in Prod, and Prod works fine. The other SQL Logs say something about not being able to contact the service. However, as I said, the [NT] service seems to be working fine.
Hey everyone...I'm completely new to SQL Server and I'm trying to learn the Reporting Services tool. I just installed SQL Server 2005 and selected to install all the options, atleast I'm 99.99% sure I did.
When I go to launch Report Services Configuration, I get "No report servers were found on the specified machine. Details: Invalid namespace". Do I need IIS for this to work?
Also, I do not think the AdventureWorks database was installed, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have tried to go back through and reinstall it, but it says that it is already installed.
Also, is there a certain order that you are supposed to install things? i.e. SQL Server before Visual Studios?
Thanks in advance.
*Edit* BTW, I'm using Windows XP, SQL Server Enterprise Edition, and VS.NET 2005.
Is it possible to have my pop up SSRS box size according to the size of the returned value? Issue is, i have a text box that returns a note field and depending on the number of notes, it can and will vary in size. I am currently using this code
i would like to pose a question, when a user do a login in SSRS server,is it possible to pass the username to SSAS tabular, to implement security? I've tested using USERNAME() creating a role that relates USERNAME() with a dim user username, but now i need to implement it with the username used in SSRS server.
I have a requirement to convert reports from Crystal Reports to SQLServer Reports. Is there any tool to do this? or Do I need to redesignevery report in SQL Server Reports?Madhivanan
I am using VS 2010 and the SSRS that came with it. I am sure its SSRS 2008. Anyway, I added a report file to the project, added an ObjectDataSource and connected this to SQLServer 2008, and display the dataset on the report. The report is using ScriptManager, ReportViewer1, and Report1.rdlc file. I preview the dataset and I have multiple row returned. The problem is I only have one row displayed on the report. Maybe I did a quick and dirty report? What setting of properties did I missed?
We are trying to use reporting services to execute a url when the SSRS report is executed. For example when I execute a SSRS report I would like the report to automatically access [URL] (as an example). The reason we are doing this is we want to access another reporting application but record the number and times of access via the reporting services execution tables/views. Is this achievable by putting some code in the Report properties. Can you open - execute url and then close report via some code.
I have a Manager dashbord report.In this report 1st page contains some tables and 2nd,3rd page contains line charts with tables.Actually what we need is in 1st page tables are pretty simple,we need to add kpi's and shown these tables in kpi. kpi in ssrs and how to add kpi in ssrs reports?
I have tried different techniques to design the report but no luck,
1) design staff 5 days schedule as a calendar between two dates and 2)each staff can have more than one schedule on the same day. 3)Only one staff per page. 4) week will start based on date ex: for staff 2 calendar will start based on date.
I was trying to have multivalue options in a ssrs report, and I used this query
SELECT {[Measures].[Sales Amount],[Measures].[Tax Amount]} on columns,non empty([Product].[Color].[Color],[Product].[Product Name].[Product Name]) on rows
from ( select (STRTOSET(@color)) on columns from [Analysis Services Tutorial])
But the report only showed the default value as an option(in this format [Product].[Color].&[Multi] whic is not presentable),and what I also noticed in the parameter option is that, the available values option is set to none , also when I try to use get from query , it does not give me the vales for the parameters,and when I right click the designer pane it does not have the show hidden dataset option.I have created the parameter with multivalue option. what can I do to get the multivalue option to work.
When the SSRS report exported to CSV file, all the column headers are added in the first row. The issue here is, I have hidden( thru Visibility property) some of the columns in the report but those columns are also displayed in the header row(first row)CSV file and the blank values for their corresponding data.for example, I have displayed only below 3 columns out of 6 columns in the report.col1, col2, col3but the CSV generated as below:
I have below query which is working fine in SQL but if i use same query in SSRS dataset then it is not working at all.If i put only one condition in where clause then it works but if i put multiple conditions then it does not works in SSRS and through error "data is not available".
SELECT id, DATEDIFF(DAY, Created, BMTRequestReviewDate) AS 'EvaluateDays',
all code goes here
FROM [dbo].[SBWT_Data] WHERE upper(Status) not like '%XX%' AND upper(Status) not like '%DELETED%' upper(Status) not like '%CLOSED%' ---OR WHERE Status NOT IN ('90 - Closed','XX - Rejected','XX - Request Rejected','XX - Deleted')
As you can see in code i have tried with both where conditions but it is not working. It seems that SSRS does not supports multiple conditions for same field.
From the image above, I am totaling the column HHMMSS is SSRS with the below expression:
=CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(0)))+sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1))) mod 60+sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2))) mod 60)
I equally tried:
=iif(Fields!HHMMSS.Value = "", "", CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(0))) +sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(1))) mod 60+sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2)))60) &":"& CStr(sum(CInt(split(Fields!HHMMSS.Value,":")(2))) mod 60))
and nothing works. What could be wrong with my expression?
The data source is Fetch XML - so all the values are string.I need to sum the values but getting an error:
Warning 1 [rsAggregateOfNonNumericData] The Value expression for the textrun ‘Textbox25.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ uses a numeric aggregate function on data that is not numeric. Numeric aggregate functions (Sum, Avg, StDev, Var, StDevP, and VarP) can only aggregate numeric data.I tried converting it to INT but it returns a large number which does not match what I'm expecting.
Previously I was using SSRS to create a local website(native mode) for our domain users to access. I wonder whether it is possible to share the website to outside users(just like youtube, everyone can access it). Is there a possible way to achieve that?
I am using SQL Server 2005 and SSRS 2005, and I am trying to display a PDF (image datatype, application/pdf filetype) from a SQL Database. There is no MIME option for PDF, so it seems my options are limited. Is there a way to display the PDF, or maybe convert the binary data at the database level?
how can i create a report like this format in SSRS ? In this format grouping will be applied on Phase code and tablix/matrix will be repeated the same way like shown above.The headers must repeat on the next pages too.Web Developer / Web Designer / Software Developer / UI Designer
Below is my query, it output's a percentage based on some calculations that i've had to make to fit in with requirements.The trouble is that it is also coming with NaN values which i need set to 0%,modify the below query to accomplish this?
