Single Report Multiple Data Sources
Jun 22, 2007
I have multiple data sources that I would like to use for a single report. The data sources are separate due to security requirements. I have a table that I can get the Initial Catalog from. How do I get that field from the database into the data source connection string at run time?
I saw this link here but the light bulb didn't go off:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156450.aspx
"define a query that retrieves a list of data sources at run time"
Can somebody help me out here?
TIA,
Darren

I am using SQL RS 2005. I have a report that is using multiple data sources from different offices. I can add these data sources in my report but is it possible that I can select a specific data source based on a selected parameter value. In this case user from each office, select their office location and be able to see the data from their office. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi,
I am new to Reporting Servies. I need to create a report that is shared by different offices, each office has it own database. So I will need to include multiple data sources. I want users to select their office first (parameter) and then based on their selection they can see the report with the data source from their office. Can I do it in one report. Or do I have to create multiple version of same report for each office. I would appreciate any help.
Regards,
Hasn

Hi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

Hi:
I have a data flow task in which there is a OLEDB source, derived column item, and a oledb destination. My source is a SQL command, that returns some values. I have some values, that I define in the derived columns, and set default values under the expression column. My question is, I also have some destination columns which in my OLEDB destination need another SQL command. How would I do that? Can I attach two or more OLEDB sources to one destination? How would I accomplish that? Thanks

Hi,
Am having difficulty with report/query parameters, where the report now regularly tells me that I must declare the scalar variable @Site.
I want to use 3 data sources :
1. to select a site from a list of sites - works fine and I can select at runtime
2. Once this is selected - I need to present a pair of dates to the user - min and max for data for the site - needs selection 1 to have been performed. Now I HAVE seen this work - once, the date selectors were greyed out until the site had been chosen, then they became available. Now I get the scalar variable error.
3. Finally I will pull the data with 3 parameters (site, startdate, enddate)
This was almost working, and the detail was produced for item 3, until I introduced the date selection option. Now neither item 2 or 3 will accept the users selected site - its from a drop-down.
All 3 queries are being performed by SQL SP's :
1. exec getsitelist - used to populate the dropdown to select @Site
2. exec getdates @Site - used to preset the start/end dates (NB I would really like calendar control here to select the date, with the value pulled from 1 to set the start point - but hey lets walk first ;-).
3. exec GetData @Site, @Start, @End
SOooo - can SSRS2005 even support dependent parameters of this type ??.
If so - whats the best way to create the parameters etc. ??. NB I can see all 3 parameter defs in 'Report Parameters'.
Many thanks - hopefully - for my sanity :-O.
Regards

I have a report designed in RB3 that uses a data source from a SQL database that is on the report server. I want to add data to the report from an access database an a network drive.
I can add the second data source and create a data set to add data to the report. The dataset query returns data from the Access database but when I run the report I get the following error.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Feasibility'. (rsError OpeningConnection)
Also when I test the connection to the Access data base I get error ERROR (IM002) (Microsoft)(ODBC Driver Manger) Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
I noticed that Report Builder is connecting to the report server. If I disconnect from the report server I can a can connect to the Access data base but not the SQL database.
How can I get the report to run against both data sources?

There are two EXCEL sources one destination table. Each record in the destination should be populated with 2 columns from one source and 2 from other source.
Source 1:
ID Name
1 abc
Source 2:
Address Location
232/2 xyz
Destination:
ID Name Address Location
1 abc 232/2 xyz
I tried using UNION ALL transformation but it fetches 2 seperate records (assuming that one record in each source). How to achieve this without using SCRIPT component?
TIA

SQL server 2005 express reporting problem.
error message:
This feature "remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of reporting service
I got this error message when I try to connect to database hosted in another PC running SQL server 2000.
Is it true that SQlL server Express can only use Local Database Engine to host the database?

ASP.NET on SQL ServerI've been asked to quote for developing a system to expose data on aweb application. Most of the data will come from SQL Server DBslocated on a single box. However, some of the data will be sourcedfrom ORACLE which is located on a different box. It may be necessaryto create VIEWS and Stored Procedures joining these DBsDoes anyone have any pointers, clues, hints, tips or pitfalls that Imight consider while making my proposal? What sort of extracontingency should I allow for the connection to ORACLE? Should I doall the data retrieval on the DB server, or should I do it on the Webserver?Any thoughts would be appreciated.ThanksWilliam Balmer

I have 5 or more tables to join to get a particular output which has to be sent to a destination table. In the 5 tables some are inner joins and some are left outer join. I am opting for stored procedure at this point. But I would like to know how can this be done in data flow transformations having multiple souce and merge joins or any other alternates. I tried using merge join, but this does not accept more than two tables.
I saw this simple post which kick started me to use ssis transformations to stored procedures. But I encounter issue.
http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1322
error
"The destination component does not have any available inputs for use in creating a path".
Please advice alternates

Hi,
I have the following scenario: N identical Databases (corresponding to different Fiscal Years, with names <Company Name>.<YEAR>). We want to consolidate the N DBs to a New Datawarehouse.
In SSIS we have designed a Dataflow that reads through a OLE DB Source (Connected to one of the N Databases) and maps to a OLE DB Destination (Connected to the NEW DB).
The question is, how we loop in SSIS through the N identical Connections, so to repeatedly execute the designed Dataflow, each time with a different Connection?
Thanks in Advance,

The version of Report Builder I have will only let me choose from a very limited range of layouts. For example, the tabular layout displays a single table on a page.
Is there a way to produce a report containing two tables and other fields?
For example, I would like to create a very simple customer report with customer name and address at the top, then a table containing all contacts I have for the the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer) and then a second table containing all the orders from the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer).
Is this possible in the current version of Report Builder or is it planned in a future relase?
P.S. I know this is easy in VS Report Designer but I specifically want to do this in Report Builder. The Report Designer client is simply too complex for my non-technical user base. Report Builder would be ideal.

I have a report I want to modify and when I go to deploy it I get:
Changing the report parameters or data sources to the values you specified is not allowed. The report is configured to run unattended. Using the specified values would prevent the unattended processing of this report
Now I understand the error, it is because on the report server's web management interface I entered credentials for the report to run that point to a custom datasource and supplied the appropriate credentials to run the report.
However, I don't want to have to reconfigure that just to deploy a slightly modified version of the report.
How can I get around this? Or what is the proper work around? I just want to change the background color from dark gray to light gray on a header column....
Thanks!

how to count from multiple tables. So currently I pull two separate reports to show the count of TaskIDs by customer state and another to show WrapID by Customer state for last month:
TaskID Count by Customer state Query:
---------------------------------------
SELECT CU.CustomerState as 'State'
,Count (CM.TaskID) as 'CaseCount'
From Customer CU
LEFT OUTER JOIN ACN_CCPCaseManagementTask CM ON CU.CustID=CM.CustID
[code]...
I am wanting to add both these counts into a single report so i tried the follow query but the counts don't match to the reports I pull separately.
SELECT CU.CustomerState as 'State'
,Count (CM.TaskID) as 'CaseCount'
,Count (CW.WrapCodeID) as 'WrapCount'
From Customer CU
LEFT OUTER JOIN ACN_CCPCaseManagementTask CM ON CU.CustID=CM.CustID

Hi ,
I have a Report which has 8 stored procedures to get 8 resultant data sets . the stored procedures are almost similar such that they have only difference is the where clause and column getting returned.
So ,every stored access same set of tables and temporary tables getting created to store some set of active data derived from big table.
what happening is ,when i run the stored procedures individually in query analyser ,it is taking the time which is accepatable individually,but when i keep them in the same report. it is taking the time which is equal to sum of all the times taken by the stored procedures ran individually in query analyser which is some what not acceptable
can anybody through an idea,what can be done here. i already thought of locks and kept set transaction isolation level read uncomitted for all the stored procedures.but the time taking is same.
please help me here,i am stuck
Thank you

http://servername/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?reportname&rs%3aCommand=Render&rs%3aFormat=HTML4.0&rc%3aToolbar=true
Is it possible to render multiple reports into a single report ?
Can anyone help me in this regard ?

The goal is to produce a single PDF consisting of a number of subreports. Some are landscape, others are portrait. The subreports may also be run as independent reports. The master report that contains them defaults to the width of the widest subreport, which is landscape. This causes all portrait subreports to spill over producing blank pages. Are there any work-arounds to concatenate multiple, single report PDFs into a single PDF and have page numbering too?
Thanks!

I am using SS 2005 RS. I am able to generate single page pdf reports by passing "id" as a parameter. Now I need to send multiple ids as parameter and generate one big report which would contain reports for all the ids supplied on separate pages. Is this possible? If yes, then how do i do this.
What I have tried so far is, I created new report with a list control and added single page report as a subreport to this list control and grouped this list control using id parameter. When i send multiple ids in the parameter, for example 3 ids, it generates 3 page report but only for the first id. So it generates report for the first id and repeats same report 3 times.
Thanks for your help,
