Reports Usage Frequency For All The Existing Reports On SSRS 2000
Mar 18, 2008
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?
I am having a problem with the disk usage reports after creating a centralised MDW on SQL Server 2008, this is the report displayed when you drill down onto a specific database.
When I drill down on a database on the local server to the MDW database the disk usage report is shown correctly.
However, when I drill down onto another servers database I receive the following error: A data source instance has not been supplied for the data source 'DS_TraceEvents'.
I have a report that calls a stored procedure that creates an extract of data for use by various subreports. Now I have this problem:
If I save the extract data in a global temporary table, then it is automatically deleted before the subreports can use it, this means I have to create a normal table with a unique name that need to be deleted - but where do you do this in the report - there is no point where you can say it is now safe to delete a table?
I do not want to resort to external mechanisms, languages, jobs etc. to do this. I want to delete the table once the report is really finished in the report.
My main report uses a list that contains all the subreports as I need to group all sorts of information by vendor. The main report calls the stored procedure. Please do not tell me that I have to duplicate the main extract for every subreport. That will really eat resources.
I have developed a report on my local machine and after the successful test on my machine uploaded the report on a webserver, where i have a report project and added the report as an existing item to the report project, i went to data tab and tried to change the datasource name to use a datasource name which is on the webservers report project, but it still complains saying there is a datasource name referred in that report, which matches with my local machines datasource name, how to remove all the references of my localmachines datasource name's.
Please help, i even went to xml side of the report code did see datasources tag on the top and i modified that too matching with a datasource name which is on webserver, still it complains including i modied the token key......
Thank you very much for then information.... this report cotains subreports too i modfied in all places, still i don't know what am i missing....
Is 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?
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 want to know which would be the best for reporting in either of the above two. I am working on with SSRS but don't have any idea about crystal reports. So you all please suggest the best one would be for me espcially for web based reporting.
Hi Guys, I am creating SSRS report using Oracle DB. When i run this query in TOAD, it's giving output but when i run this in SSRS to create new dataset then it is giving me ORA -01008:not all variables bound(Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle).
This is the query iam running.
SELECT ts.transaction_status_desc, COUNT (ut.transaction_id) AS transcount FROM dsc_transaction_status_vl ts, dsc_user_transaction ut, billing_markets bm, retail_location rl, cash_register cr WHERE ts.transaction_status = ut.transaction_status AND ut.cr_number = cr.cr_number AND cr.rl_number = rl.rl_number AND ut.RL_NUMBER = rl.RL_NUMBER AND rl.bm_code = bm.bm_code AND (ut.creation_date BETWEEN tartDate AND :EndDate) AND bm.bm_name IN (CASE (:Market) WHEN 'OKC' THEN ('OKLAHOMA CITY' || 'TULSA') WHEN 'NFL' THEN ( 'DAYTONA'|| 'JACKSONVILL' || 'MELBOURNE'|| 'NORTH FLORIDA'|| 'ORLANDO' || 'WEST FLORIDA' ) WHEN 'LA' THEN ('PAC Los Angeles') WHEN 'CAR' THEN ('Carolinas') END )
I am passing 3 parameters: StartDate, EndDate and Market. we have 3 markets and each market includes some cities. Cities are in BM_NAME column. My Question is that 1) How to pass parameters for Oracle using SSRS 2) How to resolve this error: ORA -01008:not all variables bound(Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle) 3)How can i write Stored Procedure for this query & How to execute SP in SSRS.
Hi All, I have a project that is already in MS Access that has many reports and I must develop the same project in .NET with SSRS for the reports. By seeing the same scenario in these forums I imported by right clicking on the project name, all the reports from Access have been imported.. My question is, that will the imported reports from MS ACCESS will be the same as that of the reports we will generate in SSRS? and can I use them as final reports. And call these reports in my .Net code..Is there any article regarding this please provide so that I can read and learn how to use that.. And for each .rdl files the data set si coming as dataset1...can we change the dataset name?..Please repond..ASAP.
I am not able to access registery key in report when report is deployed on reporting server. But when that report (.rdl) is opened in a Business Intelligence project it is able to access registry key. So, my question is what need to be done to get value of registery key in reports deployed on reporting server.
I have SSRS and Asp.net2.0. i have been asked to create the dashboard reports for our organization. please give me some tips, how to develop the dashboard reports using this technology?
Is there anyother resources avilable to develop this dashboard reports? thanks in advance..
We have 7 SSRS reports subscription which execute every night at various time intervals.
Some times, due to database unavailability subscriptions can not access the source database, so these subscriptions continuously try to connect the database. (Even after setting connection time out.)
When the database is up again, all these subscriptions create bottleneck for the database and the whole system crashes.
So we want to stop subscriptions after some time interval (lets say 2 hours after it starts),
After that time interval what ever may be the status of the subscription (processing, done or fail) it should stop.
Please let me know the solution, Thanks in advance.
I have created some reports in BIDS and saved them to a folder in my m/c (without deploying them) . i want to deploy that to the report server through C# code.
i can deploy that onto any Report Server. For that I will have to change the datasource connection string.
Is there a way to achieve this. Please let me know if it is there.
I came across a website that claimed "There are approximately 116 functions in Crystal Reports that do not have a direct equivalent in VB.NET or Reporting Services (SSRS)." Does anyone know what these functions are?
I need to move few folders from our DEV SSRS 2005 environment to another server. Folders will be moved to new parent folders. Is there any tool that I can use fot this purpose? I used RSScripter from SQLdbatips.com. Although the tool works great but it can't script multiple folder reports. I have to script one by one and it is a big problem.
