SSRS 2005

Hi Guys,

Is there a way to set up a subscription that will send e-mails based on the contents of a report? For example, I want to schedule a daily subscription that will only send an e-mail if the report contains data, otherwise it will do nothing for that day. i.e If the report has more than one row, it should send the mail otherwise it should not send the mail.....

Is it possible in SSRS 2005 or is there any other way to do it???

Hi, If all parameters have default value the report generates as soon as i load the report. Is it possible to only run the report when clicking on the view report button even if all parameters have default values? Thanks

Hi Guys, I am using SSRS 2005. I am facing small prob in using IIF statement to hide a column. I am having a Grouping in my table. (Emp_Group and the values are 'Yes' and 'No') Now, I want to hide a column of the table if Grouping is Yes and I want to show the table if Grouping is No. (When exported to excel it will appear in two different sheets). Any suggestions please............

Hi, Been having trouble getting external images to display in reports rendered on SSRS 2005. Images are displayed as a red X. However, my scenario is different from some of the examples I have read about. - The images are stored on a file server that is DIFFERENT from the box on which the Report Service is running. For various business reasons I cannot copy the images locally to the Report Service box. I am using "file://fileserver/path/to/image.jpg" to retrieve the images. - Since the file server does not have IIS installed, I cannot access the images using the URL method (http:// access). I need to use the file:// method. Currently I am prototyping this setup on my test box, which is running XP Pro and IIS 5.1. The Report Service is installed on this same box. I am currently testing this through the Report Manager web site (http://servername/Reports). The images are displayed using the Image control, which I added to the report using the visual report designer in Visual Studio 2005. It is set up with source=External and with "file://fileserver/path/to/image.jpg" path values. File names are retrieved from our database and file paths are built dynamically using a data processing extension I have written. My best guess as to why this is happening is that the ASPNET service account on my test box does not have access to the particular share on the file serve

I am trying to create a report in SSRS 2008 R2 using SSAS 2005 as a datasource. My dataset has a date parameter. When I create an embedded dataset in my report everything works fine, but when I create a shared dataset with the exact same mdx query, I get the following error: An error occurred during local report processing. The definition of the report 'xxxx' is invalid. The Value expression for the report parameter 'DateCalendarHierarchy' contains an error: [BC30034] Bracketed identifier is missing closing ']'. Does anybody have any ideas? Is this a bug? Thanks, Louis

Hi I have a very simple expression in a text box in my report:  INSTR(Globals!ReportServerUrl,"Report").  This expression should return the integer value of where the string "Report" appears in the Global variable for the ReportServerUrl.  Simple enough.  This works fine for generating the report directly through report manager, and in my case returns a value of 20. However when run as a subscription and emailed to myself the value returned is 0. This suggests that the search string does not appear in the Global variable. In the reportserver config file the URLroot tag contains the correct server address - http://myserver/reportserver. Does anyone know why i should be experiencing this issue with my subscriptions?  Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks Guy  Guy

I was running a MIS reporting solution on a single server running MS Windows 2003 Server and Sql Server 2005. The solution was built using ASP.NET 2.0 on IIS 6.0, Sql Server DB & SSRS. I now have purchased a 2nd server running MS Windows 2003 Server and Sql Server 2005. What is the best configuration to split the following application components across the 2 physical servers? ASP.NET web application SQL Server 2005 Datawarehouse SSRS Web Applications (Reports & ReportServer) SSRS Databases (ReportServer & ReportServerTempDB) The hardware configuration of the 2 servers are as follows Server 1 MS Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5150 @2.66GHz 16 GB RAM Sql Server 2005 SP3 Standard Edition Smart Array P400 in Slot 1 (SAS Array A with Spare / SAS Array B with Spare) Drive C: 68.33 GB | Drive D: 273.40 GB Server 2 MS Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5570 @2.93GHz 4 GB RAM Sql Server 2005 SP3 Standard Edition IBM ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA Controller Drive C: 135GB | Drive D: 556 GB | Drive E: 271 GB Any suggestions would be of great help

I am using ssrs webservices with c#. Works great until I try to pass in multiple parameters then I get: "Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'X' is not a valid value." I am at a loss - I have the split function in my stored procedure and can pass in the values like '01/05/2010,01/062010' etc no problems. I have tried wrapping the comma seperated string with single quotes and without, tried adding them as seperate inputs with no luck same response. Report works fine from SSRS interface but not when calling it using web services. Any assistance is greatly appreciated - I have done numerous web searches and found no answers. Below is the c# code snipet: //set up the parameters List<ParameterValue> input = new List<ParameterValue>(); ParameterValue pval = new ParameterValue(); pval.Name = param.Name; pval.Value = "'" + paramsSelected + "'"; input.Add(pval); //call the report service.Render( ReportName, "PDF", null, null, input.ToArray(), null, null, out encoding, out mime, out outParams, out outWarn, out outStreams);

Hi Guys, I am using SSRS 2005. I am using a parameter named Employee (and it has the ability to accept multiple values like this : '100,200,300' or '100', or '100,'1453' etc. I made this possible in the Stored Proc using some Split function) Now What I want is when we enter values manually in the Employee parameter, I want to display their respective names in the Header part of the report. For example, if we enter values '100,'1453'  and view the report, I want the Header information to be displayed as 'James,Steve'. And I am having fields named Employee_Code and Emplyee_Name in my report. And the report designed so that user should manually enter the values of employee codes. ANy ideas??? Thanks, Bablu.

I need to create data driven subscription for our reports. Most our reports have multi valued parameters (7-12 parameters with at least 4-5 with multiple values)and need to be send to a users between the range of 25-200. So standard subscription is really not a choice.I have gone through most of the threads before. Question 1:Does any one have a solution for the SSRS 2005 regarding passing mutiple values for a parameter for the Data subscription table. If yes, could you please share the information. Question 2:I found some solutions using the SOAP API. Can any one explain that in detail- how we can do it ?Reference:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/8ab615b4-1373-4258-bf49-c2843cfea8e9/http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=516735&SiteID=1 Question 3:Here is the other solution I found in one of the postsApparently passing in values like {A, B, C} only works when you configure the parameter values not to come from a dataset so that SSRS doesnt check for ValidValues.Reference: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/b2c50aea-2032-4025-a155-306c00fcb856/Any commends about this solution?Thanks

Hi I have a drillthrough report that in Report A I have a week of data, showing Sunday through Saturday on the X-axis. When a data point is clicked on this chart, it shpuld pass the date of the weekday for that data point to Report B. But sometimes, it passes the prior weekday date, eg click on the Monday date data point, but Sunday's date is passed to the next report. Has anyone observed this type of behavior? I should mention that it is intermittent.   Thanks all.   Bobrpress

Hi, I have a single line chart in a list, with hourly intervals on the X-axis. The generated report has a number of charts displayed, one for each group in the list. For some charts the X-axis labels depicting the hour are shown for all intervals. For others, I do not see the label for the first and last interval. The intervals are spaced out enough and there is no reason why SSRS may choose to not show a label because of a space constraint. Any idea why some labels along the x-axis are missing? Thanks, Yash

Hi, I have SSRS 2005 and 10 different "Shared Schedules". Those share schedule has subscribed reports in it (i.e 5 reports in each Share Schedule). I would like to know when share schedule start firing execution event, does it execute all reports ONE at a time OR one-by-one like in queue? When I checked SQL Server Agent Job than it has only ONE step in it. Any idea? Thank You...  

SSRS failing when we are trying to create the subscription with a "timeout" failure.  The report runs when run normally, and we have created subscriptions of this report on other computers.  We have adjusted the timeout value to a very long time.  The error message returned is:   The operation has timed out (System.Web.Services)   ------------------------------ Program Location:      at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpWebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSClientConnection.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2005.ReportingService2005.GetReportParameters(String Report, String HistoryID, Boolean ForRendering, ParameterValue[] Values, DataSourceCredentials[] Credentials)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2005.RSConnection.GetReportParameters(String Report, String HistoryID, Boolean ForRendering, ParameterValue[] Values, DataSourceCredentials[] Credentials)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSClientConnection.GetReportParameters(String report, String

Hi Guys, I am currently facing an issue with Enabling and Disabling Parameters in SSRS 2005. Here is my scenario. I am having the following 4 parameters - ParamType (has values 1,2,3), ParamMonth, ParamStartDate, ParamEndDate Now What I want is When I select ParamType = 1 and 2 then ParamMonth should be enabled and ParamStartDate and ParamEndDate should be disabled. When I select ParamType = 3 then ParamStartDate and ParamEndDate should be enabled and ParamMonth should be disabled. I have done google search on this issue and found out that this is not possible at run time. Is there any alternative for this issue? If the above is not possible, I would like to get atleast in this way : When I select ParamType = 1 and 2 then ParamMonth should show the values (from dataset named MonthDataSet and default should be the latest Month) and ParamStartDate and ParamEndDate should show as NULL. When I select ParamType = 3, then I need to enter ParamStartDate and ParamEndDate values manually or pick via datepicker and ParamMOnth should show as NULL. I am not sure whether this is possible or not....but just trying to get in some way. Here is the query used in MonthDataSet : Select Month_Code, Month_Name from MonthTable. Thanks
