Reporting Services Rendering

Oct 6, 2004

We use Reporting Services for most of our reporting needs internally. However, we do have several products that we ship out into the field that run off local databases. These applications require reporting but often are not big enough for SQL Server and rarely run on a server with IIS.





Since MS has made .RDL an open xml standard does anyone know if there are any client rendering engines being developed? We would like the ability to develop all of our reports in .RDL and have them rendered in Reporting Services or in our standalone apps that run off MSDE or Access. Currently this is not possible. But, I think that someone could write a client renderer (like Crystal Reports has) to allow the use of .RDL files off a local data source without SQL Server and Web Services.





Thanks for any info on the subject.

Error Programaticaly Rendering A Report Using Reporting Services Web Services

Dec 19, 2006

I'm using Reporting Services 2005 SP1 and wrote some code to render reports server-side.
My sample report has few parameters that must be passed so I pass these parameters with code.

<My code>
ReportServiceExecution.ReportExecutionService rs = new ReportServiceExecution.ReportExecutionService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
string extension, mimeType, encoding;
ReportServiceExecution.Warning[] warnings;
string[] streamID;

ParameterValue[] parameters = new ParameterValue[2];

parameters[0] = new ParameterValue();
parameters[0].Name = "pID";
parameters[0].Value = "6548747";

parameters[1] = new ParameterValue();

parameters[1].Name = "pClass";

parameters[1].Value = "8";


ExecutionHeader header = new ExecutionHeader();
ExecutionInfo executionInfo = rs.LoadReport(reportPayslip.Name, null);
executionInfo = rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us");
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = header;
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue.ExecutionID = executionInfo.ExecutionID;

byte[] report = rs.Render("PDF", "<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>", out extension, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamID);
</My code>

Actually, I have several more parameters but I've checked the collection and all the parameters I want are there and have values. Their names match those found in executionInfo.Parameters. But when I run my code I get the following error on Render():

<Error>
"This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value."
</Error>

I've double-checked and my parameter array does have the problematic parameter, I passed it a value but when I check executionInfo.Parameters I see that it's the only parameter that hasn't been give a default value after calling SetExecutionParameters(). So my parameters do seem to be passed but one seems to refuse getting a value. If I comment out the SetExecutionParameters() line I get, as expected a similar error but on another parameter (first one in the executionInfo.Parameters collection). So I'm left to beleive that the SetExecutionParameters() has some kind of bug as it works for all but one parameter. I've checked casing, spelling, tried passing phony parameters and from what I've seen I should be getting an error when I pass the parameters if I got something wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Reporting Services - Rendering

Jan 25, 2007



I have created reports using Reporting Services and the problem I am having is with the Print Layout. I view a report with parameters and print. I then change the parameters and click 'View Report' again and the new report is displayed. However, the report does not refresh in the Print Layout, so if I try to print the 2nd report, the first report is the one that is printed. Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks

Reporting Services :: SSRS Rendering In CSV

Jun 11, 2015

My system environment: win2008 R2 SP1 64bit + SQL 2005 SP4 32bit

I amended the configuration file of rsreportserver.config with the below:

<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering" >
  <Configuration>
  <DeviceInfo>
   <Encoding>UTF-8</Encoding>
  </DeviceInfo>
  </Configuration>
   </Extension>

If I run the report and then click export by selecting the csv format, it looks ok with the encoding of UTF-8.

However, the same report , when I created a subscription and saved it in the hard driver. Its encoding became USC-2 Little Endian.

Reporting Services :: How To Stop Rendering A Report

May 2, 2015

I am building reports using MS Visual Studio, and in the Preview tab I have the Refresh button and a button with a X to stop a report while rendering. However, when I deploy the report to the reporting server and I run it from the application the X button is not there, and users would find it useful sometimes to be able to stop long running reports. Is this a configuration change?

Reporting Services :: Image In SSRS In PNG Format - PDF Rendering

Nov 4, 2015

I have a image in SSRS which is of PNG in format. when I preview the image it is coming as expected but if I  export that to PDF the image is having the black color back ground. One more point to be noted here is my actual image file is having a small shading in it which is not visible properly, but the same back ground is coming with full black color line in the PDF form.

Another issue is : I have 3 sub reports in my SSRS report. In the preview I can see the data is coming in order of sub reports but if I export it to PDF the second sub-report data is coming at the end of the report and first and 3rd sub reports are fine. But If I have only one record for 2nd sub-report the order is same in both the Preview page as well as in the PDF format.

Images Not Rendering When Exporting To HTML Using Reporting Services

Jan 16, 2008

Hi everyone,

Our system is set up using SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. Our web application is built with Visual Studio 2003, C# and .Net Framework 1.1 and is a 3-tier application. On both our localhost and development builds of the application, the images that get rendered do show up properly. On our live build, the images do not.

One difference that we found is that on the live build, users do not have file permission access to our middle tier that is running reporting services. After examining the URL of where the image is trying to point to, we see that it is trying to access the middle tier from the front presentation tier.

My question is, is there a way to send a certain parameter into the Render method to have the images stored somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Here is the code we currently have:

ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

try
{
//Response.Write("Format: " + format);
if (format == "HTML4.0")
{
// Render arguments
byte[] result = null;
string historyID = null;

string devInfo = "<DeviceInfo><HTMLFragment>True</HTMLFragment></DeviceInfo>";
DataSourceCredentials[] credentials = null;
string showHideToggle = "true";
string encoding;
string mimeType;
Warning[] warnings = null;
ParameterValue[] reportHistoryParameters = null;
string[] streamIDs = null;
ParameterValue[] reportParameters = null;
SessionHeader sh = new SessionHeader();

reportParameters = new ParameterValue[5];

reportParameters[0] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[0].Name = "par_userID";
reportParameters[0].Value = userID;

reportParameters[1] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[1].Name = "par_menuID";
reportParameters[1].Value = menuID;

reportParameters[2] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[2].Name = "par_URL";
reportParameters[2].Value = reportURL;

reportParameters[3] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[3].Name = "par_startPage";
reportParameters[3].Value = startPage;

reportParameters[4] = new ParameterValue();
reportParameters[4].Name = "par_endPage";
reportParameters[4].Value = endPage;

//Clean up old files
RemoveFiles(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"]);

result = rs.Render(reportPath,
format,
historyID,
devInfo,
reportParameters,
credentials,
showHideToggle,
out encoding,
out mimeType,
out reportHistoryParameters,
out warnings,
out streamIDs);

// // For each image stream returned by the call to render,
// // render the stream and save it to the application root
// byte[] image;
// string optionalString = null;
// string tempFilePath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"].ToString();
//
// foreach (string streamID in streamIDs)
// {
// image = rs.RenderStream(reportPath,
// "HTML4.0",
// streamID,
// null,
// null,
// reportHistoryParameters,
// out optionalString,
// out optionalString);
//
// FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(tempFilePath + streamID + ".png");
// stream.Write(image, 0, image.Length);
// stream.Close();
// }

// Write the results to the current Web page
string htmlout = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(result);
htmlout = htmlout.Replace("<hr/>", "");

rs.Dispose();
return htmlout;
}

Reporting Services :: Interpreting Specific Report Rendering From What The Log Shows

Jul 7, 2015

We run std 2008.   In my ssrs log I see this for one of our most critical reports...

library!ReportServer_0-64!2244!07/07/2015-08:24:53:: Call to GetPermissionsAction(/somedirectory/somedirectory1).... which I assume is an indication of a report starting to render by first checking permissions.

Around the time my user says he still saw the revolving arrow and he stopped the report because he felt it was running too long, I see...

webserver!ReportServer_0-64!1dbc!07/07/2015-08:54:44:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''

How can it be true that he stopped it and ssrs reports that it processed the report?

About 4 minutes later I see this entry in the log...

webserver!ReportServer_0-64!15e4!07/07/2015-08:58:34:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''

Which processed report message is right?  Could there be multiples cuz of subreports? I see a number of errors and exceptions around these same times but do not know how to tie either to a specific report. Is there a way?

Reporting Services :: SSRS 2014 Default Rendering Extension

Sep 25, 2015

I installed SSRS 2014 Reporting Services on a 2008R2 Enterprise server. When I try to subscribe to a report (also SQL 2014), the default rendering is MHTML. I want to change this default to EXCEL.

I updated the rsreportserver.config file and restarted SQL Server Reporting Service.  Now, the default rendering for a subscription is 'XML file with report data' which is the first <Render> data element.  If I change

<DefaultRenderingExtension>EXCEL</DefaultRenderingExtension> back to <DefaultRenderingExtension>MHTML</DefaultRenderingExtension>

And restart SSRS Service, the default subscription rendering is MHTML.

Reporting Services :: SSRS Print Layout Support RTL Rendering

Apr 28, 2015

Is there a support of printing report with matrix that is set to RTL (LayoutDirection) which displays in ReportViewr control with property RightToLeft set to RightToLeft.Yes in DisplayMode = PrintLayout.

The report looks fine in the report viewr in DisplayMode = Normal, but when goes to PrintLayout, it seems that the left data on page is rendered first.

Example: This is the display of the report viewer, I would like to print the columns by the same order it displays here:

And this is the result when clicking Print Preview: the first page displays the data of the last columns and if i go to the last page (page 9) i will see the data of the first column as displays in the previous gif, I don't have a clue why?

Is there a property that can be set to force the print layout to render RTL. Anyway, it seem to me as a bug since the Report Viewer displays the data correctly and renders the data RTL as expected.

Reporting Services :: Out Of Memory - Clustered Chart Rendering With Number Of Columns

May 5, 2015

Getting old favourite message 'Out of Memory' when running a horizontal clustered chart with Category: 200 items Series: 200 items per Category.URL... 'By default, the report server sets WorkingSetMaximum to the amount of available memory on the computer. This value is detected when the service starts.' 

The report has been tried on 3 large servers with 30GB & 60GB memory. The report runs on a 2008 install but not a 2008R2 install. We've created a test report that simply generates a series of data 1-n for Category and 1-n for Series where n can be set by parameter - so the issue is not to do with the volume of data or the processing required by SSMS. The report runs if the data is output to a table rather than a chart - so the issue appears to be with rendering the chart.

The chart is rendered when the Category has 200 items with a Series of 150 per Category. The report fails with Category 200 items and Series 200 per Category.

Slow Performance When Rendering Pages In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services

Jul 3, 2007

I have designed a fairly simple report in report designer that uses an analysis services cube as its input, and a basic matrix object as the primary design component. Cube performance either via object browser in Analysis Services or via connection from Excel is great. It does exactly what you build a cube for, i.e. it builds aggregations you can get to quickly. However rendering from a report designer report within Report Manager is a different story.



Even though this report is being rendered from an execution snapshot, it is painfully slow at opening and closing different levels of drill down. The report does have six levels of drill down, which I am sure is a factor. If I use a smaller dataset, performance does become more acceptable. However, I don't consider the requirements of my report to be all that extraordinary.



My conclusion thus far is that larger data sets with many possible page renderings are not the best candidates for HTML rendered reports. In this case Microsoft's cube analysis add-in to Excel might be a better choice. Thoughts and feedback on either how to improve the rendering speed or other presentation alternatives that would perform better would all be welcome.

Reporting Services :: SSRS 2005 Custom Report Rendering Format Not Working?

Jun 3, 2015

I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.

I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.

I've also modified the existing csv extension  with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting  just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053

Reporting Services :: SSRS 2012 - CSV Rendering / Turn Off Double Quote Qualifier

Sep 29, 2015

I have scoured the Microsoft forums and the internet to find out how I can generate the output of a CSV report that has double quotes around each value and is comma separated as follows:

"Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN"

If I try to concatenate double quotes around the values in the stored procedure or in the RDL, two double quotes appear around each value as follows. 

""Abcd"",""123456"",""Efghi"",""789012"",""JKLMN""

I understand that this is because the default qualifier is double quote.  What I see is that every time a double quote appears in a value (along with commas and line breaks), the qualifier will activate.  Is there any way to turn this off for double quotes? 

If I try to enter:  <Qualifier>false</Qualifier>, the word "false" appears as the qualifier instead.

The only way I have found that produces a result similar to what I need ("Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN") is if I add a line break - chr(10) in the RDL in each field. However, this won't work for me because I can't have line breaks in each field in the output. 

Note that in SSRS 2005, I was able to produce the report output as I state above by setting the field delimiter and qualifier as follows:

<FieldDelimiter>@?!?@</FieldDelimiter>
<Qualifier>?#^?</Qualifier>

This essentially turned the field delimiter and qualifier off, as the values entered would never appear in the data.  I then could add double quotes and commas in the RDL.  This used to work in the old version but does not anymore.

Reporting Services :: SSRS Chart Series Conditional Color Formatting Not Rendering In Browser

Aug 6, 2015

I have a chart with series that needs conditional colour for three conditions. One condition must be transparent. I have tried the various IFF or SWITCH expressions below and some work fine in SSDT but when I deploy them to the browser the formatting is lost. This simple IFF expression works. The series is transparent as required both in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) and IE11 and Firefox browsers but I need two other conditions. 

=IIF(Fields!ExhibitionID.Value = -1, "#00ffffff", "Red")

Both of the expressions below work in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) as expected but when deployed to the browser none of this formatting is rendered and all series are in blues even the ‘transparent’ series. No red at all.

=IIF(Fields!ExhibitionID.Value = -1,"#00ffffff", IIF(Fields!ExhDepartment.Value = 27,"Orange","Red"))
=Switch(Fields!ExhibitionID.Value
= -1,"#00ffffff",Fields!ExhDepartment.Value = 27,"Orange",(Fields!ExhDepartment.Value <> 27) AND (Fields!ExhibitionID.Value <> -1),"Red")

I have tried deleting various files RDL and DATA. I have tried uploading the file from report manager in IE and I have tried editing the file in report manager.

Reporting Services :: Adding Drill Through Parameters Increasing Rendering Time On Report Server

Nov 2, 2015

I have a report which takes around 5 seconds when run in BIDS but takes around 20 seconds when deployed on report server.Execution log says TimeDataRetrieval is around 3-4 seconds and  rendering time is around 15-17 secs.From this report I am passing 8 parameters to a  drill through report and there are 36 text boxes where I have defined these parameters for drill through action.All these parameters are populated in main dataset.When I deployed the same report without any drill through action and parameter, it takes 5 seconds.So I am suspecting that because of drill through parameters report is taking more rendering time on server.I am using 2008R2 and IE11.

Is it expected behavior that due to so many parameters for drill through action, report will take more rendering time?If yes, then why is it not taking same time in BIDS?

How Is Reporting Server Rendering Works?

Aug 26, 2007

I a bit confuse of the order of rendering a report in reporting server . the software that i used previously do in following order

1. document header -- exec once at start of report
2. page header -- exec every new page
3. group header
4. body
5. group footer
6. page footer
7. document footer

in this software there no retriction that certain function can only be used at certain partand also there function to exec new page at any time I want. also each part has event for me to do programming . another different with reporting services is that once i set the paper type (ex. A1 or A3) ,unlike reporting service on design screen I get restrict on that size.


I hope someone can explain how actually reporting server render a page.

Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases
Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.

at ReportServicesConfigUI.SqlClientTools.SqlTools.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)

It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'?
Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?

Any help is appreciated

Compatibility Of SQL Express Reporting Services With SQL 2000 Reporting Services

Dec 6, 2006

I'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.

One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:

Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets?
Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?

Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Either Rendering Tiff Images In SRS Report Viewer Or Converting Tiff To Jpg Or Gif And Then Rendering

Jun 19, 2007

First of all, this is not in reference to using SRS (SQL Reporting Services) to render a report and then use one of the extensions to render the complete report as a pdf, tiff, excel etc. We have an opportunity to render a list of claims and then embed the supporting docs for each of the claims within the report. We don't have an issue referencing jpg and gif images via URLs and then rendering them within the report after the grid information. We do have an issue rendering tiff images within the report.



You can insert an image object into SRS at design time and have it render and you can convert a complete report to a tiff image but I cannot find a way to be able to render a tiff image when running the report. All you get is the red "x".



My question is has anyone encountered the same issue and, if so, what did you do to resolve the issue?



Thank you,

Example:

we have table with (ID, NAME_AR, NAME_EN, JobTitle_AR, JobTitle_EN). designed report will display(ID, NAME_EN, JobTitle_EN) . but the end user change the language of the system the report will

dispaly(ID, NAME_AR, JobTitle_AR)

Hi There,

Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..

Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?

Thanks.
