Can I insert data from a report with RS2005?

Hi All,
Here's my problem:
I need to pull some items into a table report. I have the items grouped
by a key field (AlertID) and a detail the the user can drilldown to for
each item. I'm having trouble with the linking, I try to link this
report to another report that takes the parameters and runs a stored
proc to insert the data for the item (Alert History). Each report works
fine on by itself, but I can't get them to link in anyway, I've tried
Jump to Report and Jump to URL.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Damien Johnston
P.S. I also need know if there is a writable textbox and a checkbox
control available in RS?In general this is a bad idea (trying to write data). Some issues you would
have to deal with are: multi-user, cleaning up data when done, etc.
Given what you say I don't see why you need to do this. If your stored
procedure can figure out the data to insert then why can't you just have a
stored procedure returning the appropriate data to the report. Instead of
drill down you should be using drill through. Drill through is much more
efficient. Have a field that you highlight and color blue. Users understand
that means to click on it. Then use jump to report to call up the report
with the detail information.

>|||Bruce--Thanks for the reply, I'll look at alternative methods to solve
the problem.
Here are the details of what's required and what I have in place:
I have a database monitoring app the alerts when an event occurs (like
profiler)
I have specific events that need to be trapped and a historical record
needs to be kept of the original event along with any updates to an
event history field. These events are stored in a SQL DB
I need to be able to allow certain users to access this via some sort
of form/webpage, and update the events they are responsible for with
documentation, such as an email or an uploaded file.
I need to be able have a single parent to many children relationship
for the events. For example, event 1 can be chosen as the parent for
events 2,3,4,5,6 and event 1's event history will become the history
of the child events.
I sure I can get the SQL side of things, stored procs and table design.
But I'm struggling with a front end for my users; I was hoping that
RS had the ability to function in this way.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again,
Damien Johnston

Can I inherited from a template report?

I must make many report in my project.

All the reports must have header of company name and footer of page number.

Can I desgin a template custom report, then all reports in my project are inherited from it?

This is very easy to do if you are developing your reports in Visual Studio. The templates for reports are stored at the following path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject\

You can create a template report and save it in this location, and then when you want to use it, from within your report project, click on the 'Project' menu option, and select 'Add New Item...'. When the dialog opens, you should see all .rdl files located in the above directory.

Hope that helps - Dan

Can I import a deployed report back into Visual Studio?

I created and deployed a report to my Report Server and everything is functioning fine. However, my laptop was inadvertantly wiped when I was having it serviced and I had not backed up this report to VSS. Is there a way to import that deployed report back in to Visual Studio or do I have to basically rebuild my report from scratch?

Hello,

If you go to the Properties tab for your report in Report Manager, there should be a link called 'Edit' in the Report Definition section. If you click this, you can save the RDL file as it is on the server. Then, just import that report back into Visual Studio.

Hope this helps.

Jarret

No, fortunately you don′t need to :-)

You can either download the RDL using the webinterface ("Edit item") or write an pplication which pulls the information from the report server. There are some samples in the samples directory which show how to do this.

|||Yes, thank you very much. That did the trick!|||I will take a look at the samples and learn how to do it programmatically. In the meantime, my butt is out of the proverbial sling. Many thanks!

Can I hide header of Report in browser, when I print using browser

Hi;
I am trying to use Printing in browser for reports which are developed in
SQL Reporting Services. Now, when I try to print reports using browsers and
go to file menu and select Print Preview then it preview all the stuff which
I have in browser including that header of report which is used to change
pages and exporting options. How can I hide that header when I print.
Thanks.

the report without the toolbar. (You can turn off the toolbar using URL
commands.)

Meanwhile, the recommened technique is to export to PDF and print using the
PDF file.

can i have data of two datasets into a single table

In Report, I need to display PO Details such as pono,item names and
their item qty,item rate, po amount, dcno., dcdate.
PO Details TenderName,pono,item name,item qty, item rate available in a
table tblPurchaseOrder.
PO amount=sum(item qty*item rate) + sum(charge)+ sum(item tax amount).
charge amount, tax amount may/may not exist for PO.
Each PO can have more than one DC.
using single query if i am trying to retreive pono,item name,po amount,
dc date,dcno then i am getting po amount no. of times dc
occurs*original po amount.so i splitted po details and dc details into
two. now the data i am getting is correct. but using two tables the
data is not corresponding to each other. dc details getting ups and
downs.
Kindly give me solution ...
My query to retreive PO Details is as follows :
SELECT viewPurchaseOrderComponents.TenderName,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PONo, viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PODate,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.ComponentName,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.ComponentQty,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.Rate,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.ComponentQty *
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.Rate AS CompAmount,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.UnitName,
B.TotalTaxAmount, A.Charge,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.ProjectComponentId,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.ComponentId,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.IndentNo, tblPurchaseOrder.PaymentTerms,
tblPurchaseOrder.IndentDate,
tblPurchaseOrder.DeliveryPeriod, tblPurchaseOrder.Status,
tblPurchaseOrder.HasAnyAmendment,
tblPurchaseOrder.IsRegularize,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.Type, viewPurchaseOrderComponents.Supplier
FROM viewPurchaseOrderComponents INNER JOIN
tblPurchaseOrder ON
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PONo = tblPurchaseOrder.PONo LEFT OUTER
JOIN
(SELECT PONo, SUM(Amount) AS Charge
FROM tblPOCharges
GROUP BY PONo) AS A ON A.PONo = viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PONo LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT POComponentId,
SUM(TaxValue) AS TotalTaxAmount
FROM tblPOComponentTaxes
GROUP BY POComponentId) AS B ON
B.POComponentId = viewPurchaseOrderComponents.ComponentId
WHERE (viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PODate >= @.StartDate) AND
(viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PODate < DATEADD(d, 1, @.EndDate))
For DC Details :
SELECT viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PONo,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.TenderName,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PODate,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.ComponentName,
tblPurchaseOrder.Status, tblPurchaseOrder.HasAnyAmendment,
tblPurchaseOrder.IsRegularize,
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.Type, viewPurchaseOrderComponents.Supplier,
tblComponentsOfDc.Qty AS DCQty,
tblDeliveryChallan.DCId, CONVERT(varchar(11),
tblDeliveryChallan.ChallanDate, 106) AS ChallanDate
FROM viewPurchaseOrderComponents LEFT OUTER JOIN
tblDeliveryChallan ON tblDeliveryChallan.PONo
= viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PONo INNER JOIN
tblPurchaseOrder ON
viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PONo = tblPurchaseOrder.PONo LEFT OUTER
JOIN
tblComponentsOfDc ON tblDeliveryChallan.DCId = tblComponentsOfDc.DCId
WHERE (viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PODate >= @.StartDate) AND
(viewPurchaseOrderComponents.PODate < DATEADD(d, 1, @.EndDate))
In a single table i need TenderName,PONO,item details name,qty,rate
POAmount, DCDate...
Waiting for solution ...Try looking at subreports. You can embed a subreport into a detail line of a
table. Add an extra detail line and then drag and drop your subreport onto
the cell. Then right mouse click, properties and set the parameters to the
field values that link the two together.

Can I group stored procedures some way

Hi folks!
I'm working on a report that requires about 20 SPs to retrieve data.
My code would be better if I could somehow create some object
(package?) that would have all my 20 SPs in it.
This way if I have 100 reports it will be easy to manage the SPs in the
database.
I thought I read several years ago there was a way to do this. Is there
still a way?
Thanks in advance.Bob wrote:

I'm about you're actually trying to do here. Are you talking
about packaging your procedures in order to create them on another
database? Can you give an example of what you need?

Are you refering to the stored procedure number?
CREATE PROC [ EDURE ] procedure_name [ ; number ]
. . .
;number
Is an optional integer used to group procedures of the same name so they can
be dropped together with a single DROP PROCEDURE statement. For example, the
procedures used with an application called orders may be named orderproc;1,
orderproc;2, and so on. The statement DROP PROCEDURE orderproc drops the
entire group. If the name contains delimited identifiers, the number should
not be included as part of the identifier; use the appropriate delimiter
around procedure_name only.
This can be used to group procedures, but it's an old and rarely used
feature, and you run the risk of confusing people. I would probably just
use a common name prefix to sort and identify the related procedures.

Can I Edit the SQL Query in Crystal Report 9?

Hi,
Can I Edit the SQL Query in Crystal Report 9?
i just can see the SQL query at "Database"->"Show SQL Query". How do I edit it in Crystal Report?
thank you.In "Database"->"Database Expert".
Edit the command directly if you have a command, or a graphically if you have a list of tables and joins.|||In the "Database"->"Database Expert", i only see 2 tabs which are "Data" & "Links" (both are graphical).

i cannot see any "Edit" or the command.

BTW my CR version is 9.2.|||What exactly do you want to edit about the 'query'?
You add/remove tables in the Data tab, and change the joins in the Link tab - i.e. you do it graphically and the SQL query Crystal runs is altered appropriately.
You add data restrictions (where clause) in the Record Selection formula (Report menu, Selection Formulas, Record)|||Actually... I want to sort out and display the latest transaction to my report.

eg:
In my table:
Item CustOrder Price
A C1 1.90
A C1 2.10
A C1 2.00
B C8 33.90
B C8 32.00

In my report show:
Item CustOrder Price
A C1 2.00
B C8 32.00

So initially i want to use SQL Statement "Group By" clause to sort it out and display, but later i found it got some problem / the record displayed is not correct.

any idea? or what can i do?

thank you.|||Then your SQL is fine; you want to use the Group Expert to group on the column that contains the 'A', 'B' etc. values and then the column for the 'C1', 'C8' etc. values. You might then want to use the Record Sort Expert to order the records within these groups (e.g. is there a timestamp to order them in 1.90, 2.10, 2.00 order?) and display the row you want in the group footer (i.e. suppress the detail).

Can I dynamically add subreports to a report?

Is there any way of adding subreports to a "container" report at runtime?
I need to make the reports composable and would prefer not to have the
superset of all reports in the container and just toggle visibility. Right
now the only solution seems to be to generate my own RDL on-the-fly, which
seems like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Aside from creating the RDL files via ASP.NET application (custom as
you mentioned), you could include the normal subreports directly as
tables in the main report and then just toggle the visibility based on
if data is returned as part of the dataset (assuming each table
control will have its own dataset). Something like this might work (as
part of the Visibility expression):
=iif(Sum(Fields!SomeFieldName.Value, "SomeDataSetName") > 0, "true",
"false")
Also, you might want to include several table controls in a rectangle
to conserver space when they are not displayed.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Enrique Martinez
Sr. Software Consultant|||Thanks Enrique. I think creating the RDL files via the ASP.NET application
suits my purposes more than the "toggle visibility" approach. This is mainly
because there are many containers and many sub reports and there can be any
combination of them. So if someone adds a new subreport I would have to go
and add it at design time to all the containers. If I create the RDL myself I
can just create the requested combination on-the-fly.

can i develop on a different machine?

I have just installed reporting services on our web server and am able
to create report projects from there, but I don't generally create
visual studio projects on the web server. I use a development machine
that does not have IIS installed. Is there any way to create report
projects on my development machine and point it to the report server?
I can't find any information on this, all of the examples I find tell
me to open a new report project, but the template only exists on the
report server. Is there some client tool I need to install?When you installed on the web server you installed both server and client
tools. Normally you would not have VS installed on the production machine
and only install the server part. Although it can be handy to be developing
on a machine that has both installed it is not necessary. When you preview a
report in VS it is not using IIS. Just install the client tools from the RS
installation on a machine that has Visual Studio on it.

Can I Deploy a report to a client who doesn't have SQL server license.

How can I Deploy a report with my visual Studio.Net application to a company
who doesn't have SQL server license?
I plan to use SQL Server 2005 Express.SQL Server Express does not yet have support for this. Supposedly Q1. Then
the data needs to reside locally as well.

As Bruce mentioned, the SQL Server reporting service is not available for
EXPRESS edition so far. Also, what's your application's detailed structure,
does it require a local SQL Server instance? If it is just a client
application which can consume reporting service reports through those
remote accessible programming interfaces, we can consider separate the
application from the backend SQL Server database... Thus, there need a
certain DataBase server which have SQL Server 2005 instance installed
already...

||||RDLC reports doesn't required any server.
its standalone reports generated on the client side, not the server side.
Also, I think that the report control can render RDL reports without using a
reportserver.

Can I define the True/False text labels for a Boolean report param

SSRS 2005
Boolean report parameters are convenient to use.
However, the rendering of the "True"/"False" radio button labels is not
always appropriate. For example sometimes I would prefer the labels to be
"Enabled"/"Disbaled", "Yes"/"No", etc.
Is there anyway to define the text labels differently for each boolean
report parameter?
--
Chris, SSSIHi Chris,
As for this question, I think it is just like the "boolean parameter
represented with checkbox" thread you posted, so far the ReportViewer
control can not support such small granularity level customization.
BTW, if you do want to change the text, one way is use client-script as
I've mentioned in a former thread, but that's not quite flexible when
dealing with multiple different reports.

Can I create Letter type reports within the Report Builder

Hi,

I need to create letter type reports using the report builder, is this possible?. I am trying to create a letter that embeds some variable fields, i.e,. name, address, contact number. I can't seem to find a way to create page headers, and embed report data fields within text. Is this not possible within the report builder? it seems that the only thing you can do within the report builder is add fields to their predesignated areas. I am being forced to use the report builder instead of the report designer in order to give the end user the ability to make modifications to the report/letter. This is very frustrating. not being able to allow the user to edit report designer files, and then having force them to use report builder which doesn't seem to support some simple features..

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Sorry, the current version of Report Builder is very limited in its functionality and you can't do what you are trying to do.

There is an undocumented feature in Report Builder that may help. You can create a textbox and set its value to an RDL expression, by typing the RDL expression into the text area. This is very limited since you cannot create custom datasets to reference.

Can I create dynamic report parameters?

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a report with dynamic parameters or parameters dependant on other ones? I have the following scenario -

Parameter 1 - 'Select an Application' - List of applications that are available

Parameter 2 - 'Select a module' - This is a list of modules that needs to depend on Parameter 1. As a user selects different applications, the appropriate module list will be loaded.

Is this possible to do in SSRS?

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Yes you can do that. Its called Cascaded parameters you need to write 2 store procedure. 1st one will be for "select an application" and 2nd one will be for "select a module" for the 2nd sp you need to pass the application id as a parameter and depending on the application Id modules will be fetched.

Once these SPs are done you need to set the report parameters make sure order of the parameters in the report parameter is correct.

Take a look at this example

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337426.aspx

I hope this helps

Thanks

Hello Brian,

Yes, you can do this. Take a look at 'Cascading Parameters' in Books Online.

Hope this helps.

Can I copy a report in Report Manager?

I'm a newbie to reporting services.
Is it possible to copy a report to more than one folder in the Report
Manager? We have a staging area where all of our reports are being
deployed. They are then moved to specific folders for various clients.
Some clients will use the same report, so it will exist in more than
one location. Is there a way to copy the report in Report Manager to
the respective folders or do they need to be uploaded to each folder?
Thanks in advance,
GabeHi,
In a word, no! You can upload it multiple times to different places.
You can also create "linked" reports, these are basically shortcuts to
one report although I doubt this will work in your scenario because you
will be tied to the one set of datasources.
So I'm afraid you will have to upload or deploy and move, upload or
deploy and move etc.
I guess you could look at the ReportServer catalog file and decipher it
to work out how to copy but I wouldn't recommend it!
Regards
Chris

Can I change the text on the "View Report" button?

SSRS 2005
In the web form Report Viewer Control, is there a simple way to change the
text that appears on the "View Report" button?
I would like to either shorten the text or have it appear on two lines to
minimize the page width taken up by this button.
-- Chris
--
Chris, SSSIHello Chris,
As for the ReportViewer Control's "ViewButton", based on my research, it is
encapsulated as an "ViewReportButton" class which is an internal Type. I've
tried reference to this button instance from ReportViewer control's
Controls collection and change it Text, but that didn't work. I think it is
internally assigned the "View Report" text value. Actually since
Reportviewer is a well encapsulated webcontrol, there hasn't much options
for us to customize its individual settigns.
So far what I can get are the following two options if we want to provide a
custom parameterArea or button:
1. Still use the ReportViewer's built-in parameterArea and
ViewReportButton, however, we can only change the button's text by using
clent-side script(find the submit button and change its value), e.g:
==========================<script language="javascript">
function AdjustViewButton()
{
var div = document.getElementById("ReportViewer1");
elems = form1.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
var i;
for(i=0;i<elems.length;i++)
{
if(elems[i].type == "submit" && elems[i].value == "View Report")
{
elems[i].value = "View";
}
}
}
.........................
<body onload="AdjustViewButton();" >
...............
=============================
2. Do not use the built-in parametersArea of the ReportViewer control(hide
it by setting ShowParameterPrompt=false), and provide our own UI(like label
and textbox ) to accept parameters from user, also add our own View Report
Button, and in the button's click event, we need to use custom code to add
parameters into ReportViewr.serverReport's parameters collection and render
the report.
Hope this helps some. If you have any other ideas, please feel free to let
me know.

Steven Cheng

Thank you for your reply and suggestions. It is not what I wanted to hear
;-) but I understand your proposals.
It would be nice if Microsoft could provide the ability to do such simple
customization through properties, etc. in the future.
It seems that the out of the box SRSS offering gets you going very quickly,
but very soon you also run into limitations and have to write custom code. It
is of course great that such custom code solutions are possible (it is very
flexible), but it also minimizes the productivity gains to be obtained with
SRSS. Just my 2 cents. ;-)

Yes, I can understand your concern here since what you want to customize is
just a simple Text property of the Button and it will be much more
convenient if the ReportViewer control has provide such a property for
modify it directly.
Fortunately the ReportViewer control still provide some programmtic
approach here as workaround. Also, since this is the first version of the
component, the dev team may haven't considered all the possible scenarios.
So please trust me, our dev guys will surely improve it for sequential
release(also the reporting services) according to more and more community
user experience and feedback. Thus, any of your feedback and comments are
really important to us.

Can I change a datasource's properties at report execution time?

I will be running reports on a shared database server. The database server
supports one main application with many environments for different user
groups. Each groupsâ' data is kept in a different database instance.
I want to deploy my reports in a single location on the shared database
server to simplify installing reporting services and deploying reports.
When a user requests a on-demand report I want the report to pull the data
from the correct SQL Server instance.
Can I to change the reportâ's shared datasource â'Connection Stringâ' to the
userâ's database instance. I will be using SOAP to invoke the reports.
Are there other ways to accomplish my intentions?
I am using SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Developer Edition with SP1 and
SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition with service packs 1, 2, 3, and 3a applied.Hi,
You may want to use 'SetReportDataSources' to switch between datasources.
More information about this method can be found from the MSDN site:
