Sql Server 2005 SP2 Breaks PDF Export Of Some Reports
May 7, 2008
I had a report that exported to PDF just fine before installing SP2 and now it is completely messed up. The report consists of a table that has two header rows (the report is basically a calendar). First Header Row is Month - merged across all 7 columns, Second header row is day of week. The next row is a row containing the date and finally the last row contains the actual data that is populated into each day. It is a sub-report in each cell of the row. It used to export fine but after applying SP2 it exports to pdf like this:
1st page is the first header row (Month) - Nothing else on the page
2nd page is the 2nd header row (Day of Week) - Nothing else on this page.
3rd page is the 1st row of actual dates - Nothing else on the page.
4th page is the data that goes to that 1st row of dates on the 3rd page, this page all all following pages are fine and show the row with the date directly above the data row with no page breaks in-between.
There is nothing in any of the controls forcing a page break (remember, it worked fine up until SP2 was applied).
What did the SP break? I am unable to modify my report now so that it exports to PDF correctly. What the heck???
I have a master report which has three sub reports. I want to show the last sub report on the second page only if data is available otherwise I want to hide the sub report and as well as the second page. I use a expression to hide the subreport and it works. But the problem is with the page breaks. Even though I use a rectangle for page break, it does not work as I want.
Currently I'm working on a few SSRS reports which will be exported to CSV.
In some of the fields e.g. "Description" the data can contain carriage return and line feed characters (CR LF). SO when that happens the csv export breaks the line and rest of the data from that fields goes into the net line. This creates a few undesirable line breaks.
I can always replace these characters from that fields.
Is there a way I keep those characters in the field and still my csv export come up fine.
Fit an intere table in same page without page break for save the excel export.
My table has a Group for order my dates.
I need to have the intere table in the same page, i don't care about blank space at the end of the page.
I can't use the page break beacuse i need an excel export in a unique sheet.. I have tested.. every page break..you'll have a different sheet in your excel export
BooksOnline indicates that sp_rename can still be used to rename constraints such as primary keys, foreign keys, defaults, etc. in SQL Server 2005. However, when I try to do so I get this:
"Either the parameter @objname is ambiguous or the claimed @objtype (object) is wrong."
After looking at the code for sp_rename, it looks like this problem might be related to another bit of apparent misbehavior on 2005's part: when I execute "select object_name()" with the Id number of a constraint, it returns the name, but when I execute "select object_id()" with the name of that same constraint, it returns null. Why is that?
Is there something I can do in layout mode to cause line breaks to only occur when data changes? I am creating a list of students and their degrees, but some students have multiple degrees and some only have one. If I place the information in a table with a blank row for a break, it breaks after every degree, but without the break there are no breaks at all.
Here's what I want:
Student degree degree
Student degree
Student degree degree degree
But what I have is:
Student degree
degree
Student degree
Student degree
degree
degree
Is there any way to fix this, perhaps with an expression of some kind?
Hi all; we have a requirement wherein we need to export the ssrs report to one of the following formats ni c# o MS-Excel o HTML o MS-Word o PDF o CSV o XML o RTF ive acomplished excel and pdf but cant do the same thing for the otther formats cos they are not supported using the render method pf localreport object
byte[] bytes = lr.Render("Excel", null, out mimeType, out encoding, out extension, out streamids, out warnings);
I have some simple views that bind to an Access forms for use in the detail side of Master/Detail forms.
The views are of the style:
SELECT *.OrderDetails, Products.TotalUnitsInStock AS UsefulReferenceInfo
FROM OrderDetails LEFT OUTER JOIN Products ON ..........
Using a database in SQL 2000, opening the view to directly insert values into the OrderDetails columns works perfectly, and Access correctly determines that there is an IDENTITY column that is the Primary Key. Insert works perfectly, form work perfectly.
Using the same SQL script to build a database in SQL 2005 the view doesn't detect that the column is an IDENTITY column so any attempt to insert data fails with the error "Invalid input parameter values. Check the status values for detail." Insert fails, form also doesn't work.
I have tested this in Access 2002, 2003 and 2007 B2TR and all give the same results so it seems to be a breaking change in SQL 2005.
It is easy to see when there is going to be trouble because the tell-tale '(Auto Number)' or more recently '(New)' text is missing from the appropriate identity column.
This is fairly inconvenient and breaks quite a lot of my Master/detail forms that use this design pattern.
Can anybody from the SQL team help shed some light on this for my.
i have SQL 2005 reporting services. I want to control the Export behavior of report into Excel format. When user exports the report,
1. i want to add a new Worksheet(with some data) to the Excel that is expoted as default by Report viewer? 2. There is a hyperlink in the report, When user export Report to Excel, i want to add some text before hyperlink.(this text should come only in exported Excel and not in actual report.) Is it possible to do this?
Is it possible to have a report automatically export the results to Excel, when the report is generated? ...rather than having to select the format and click Export? .Pl let me know-Thanks.
I have an SSRS file with 2 total reports - the first is a sort of template - a matrix with about 6 varying parameters, and the second report uses the first as a subreport - ultimately, there are about 5 subreports on the second page, all using the main "template" report, with the only variance being certain parameters. The client wanted an excel file as the end result, and I decided the quickest way to populate the data they needed would be SSRS.
My problem is when I export this stuff to excel. The template report, by itself, comes out beautifully. The expand/collapse boxes on the groups are all aligned and the data just fits.
However, when I export the "combined" report, the whole thing turns to caca....
For one, subtotals are auto-magically added in for certain groups (these aren't in the main report, and they don't show render in IE, and subtotals are showing for groups where subtotals aren't even on. ) Annoying, but not major.
More importantly, the expand/collapse buttons for the matrix groupings seem to align to the top, and not the actual row of the grouping. So, if I wanted to expand the data on say, row 11, the '+' button is actually on the previous row (row 110). This is the real showstopper and just not acceptable on a usability level.
Again - the only difference between the two spreadsheets is that one is its own report, and the second one renders the same report from a subreport. On IE it looks identical. Any reason why simply using a sub would cause such drastic differences in excel appearance??
I have deployed some reports on the reporting server, i have noticed that every one in the domain in which the reports are published can access the reports, except one user. when he tries to access the report he got the following error message or the blank report.
"An error occured during report processing"
"can no read the next data row for the data set dataset1".
Although this user has all the roles on the reporiting server kike browser,content manager etc.
I had a report (.rdl) using sql reporting services in sql server 2005, where it was running quite good. I have just installed sql server 2005 sp2. After that, when I run the report through report viewer, the result of the report contains the first record of the dataset keep on repeating for all other records. If I run the dataset the results are correct,but if I preview it, then the first record alone repeating for all other records.
I feel that sp2 might cause this rendering problem. Any suggestion please?
Hi all, Could some one help me with the below issue:
I have set up our webserver along with the database in one machine, (machine1) and the SQL 2005 Reporting server in another (machine2). When a page hosted in machine1 is accessed:
1. The page uses a reportviewer control to fetch and show the report. 2. The reports are fetched from machine2. 3. machine2 inturn fetches the data from DB setup in machine1, populates the report and sends it back to the report viewer in machine1.
The problem I am facing is that whenever a report related page is accessed from machine1 it comes up with the below error:
"The permissions granted to user 'machine1IUSR_machine1' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Hi All, I am looking for a way to export a sql server 2005 table to xml using VB or C#. This is done easliy with MS Access but I am having trouble finding any information for SQL SERVER 2005. Thanks for the help, Bones
I can not find "import/export" in SQL Server 2005 "microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express" How do I move a database from SQL Server 2000 to SQL server 2005?
I have a good size database (113 tables & views, each with an average of ~15 columns). I'd like to use SQL Server 2005 to create a basic table-layout diagram with fields for the DB, and then move that diagram to Visio or similar (even a bitmap) for additional annotations and updates. What I've seen so far with the tool that comes with SQL Server is that it's about good enough to do the initial generation and save me the work of having to type out the ~1600+ fields plus the relationships, but would be clumsy to use after that.
Unfortunately, so far I haven't seen a way to do any kind of export. It doesn't even want to let me print it (though it will, oddly, layout page-breaks for me). I'm currently using SSMS Standard edition (not express, but not pro either), so if that's the problem we do have a pro liscense for only one of the users here- I might be able to get him to do the export for me.
Is there any way that cubes built on Analysis Server 2005 can be migrate or copy to Analysis Server 2000. I have built cubes on 2005 and i want the cubes to be also on another server whicih is unfortunately running Analysis Serviuces 2000. Is it poosible ?
I'm new in SQL. I must write query that finds a specific data. you have two tables one is the user table the other is the role table. In the user table, there is someone who called "Alfred" and his role is saved in the role_name field in role table. Ultimately, I must find "Alfred's role". I will thank to anyone who gives me a hand.
I have created a web site using VWD platform. DB tables have been created with the build in facility within Visual Web Developer tool. Now that I have hosted my site (towardes production) I do need to pupulate/create all the tables on the hosting server (that includes ASPNETDB tables). I guess some export tool can help (have tried with SQL Server Management Studio Express but I can not figure out how to perform the task.
I am looking for a reporting software to create reports (Invoices, Receipts) for PocketPC 2003 using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition. Any recommendations will be appreciated.
I would like to know if Reporting Services 2005 is a good tool for making reporting activities on SQL Server 2005 DW and also using OLAP (Analysis Services 2005).
I have built the reports that I need using Visual Studio and the SQL 2005 Reporting Server, but now I need a way to view the reports via a web browser.
I am not much of a web/programming expert, so any help that could walk me through the process of publishing the .rdl files that I have created via a web browser would be much, much appreciated. Again, I am a novice in the the web arena, so the more straight forward the steps the better.
