Change image properties at runtime
I'm using Reporting Services for SQL2K. My report will need to dynamically
call a custom assembly for each row in a dataset, and then show the image
file that the custom assembly creates. I was thinking of using an Image
control in the report and then changing the path to the image file at
runtime. But I can not figure out how to access the image1.Value property.
Any tips on this or perhaps an alternative solution?
TIA
JonasI found the answer, and it was very easy ;-)
When the control is selected in the Report Designer, it it possible to edit
the properties as usual. The property for Value can also use an Expression,
and voila, this can point to a variable which contains a dynamically created
path.

Change Header of Report?
I'm pretty new to SQL Reporting Services so my question might be a little silly.
I was wondering, if it was possible to change the toolbar of a report. The only thing I found to change there, is the sorting and filter dropdowns. But other than that, is there a way to add my own controls like a Commandbutton? If not, is it possible to remove certain things from the toolbar like the print icon?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

If you are using Report Manager, you cannot change the toolbar of the report viewer. If you are using the new ReportViewer controls (included in Visual Studio 2005) in your application, you can remove buttons from the toolbar. However, you cannot add things to the toolbar. You could have your own toolbar along with the report viewer.
|||Hi Brian,Thanks for your answer and I apologize for the big delay in answering.
I tried the ReportViewer control in VS 2005. I set the Report Server URL and the Report Path but I keep getting the error: "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."
As I said, I'm all new to this so I have no idea where to search for this error.
Thanks again for your answers in advance.

Change from Crystal Reports to SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services?
We have a web application that generates statistical reports in PDF format
based on customer data and we're thinking of migrating to SQL Server 2005
Reporting Services but I'd like to know if what we are doing is possible.
Basically, the customer logs onto the system via a regular browser, this
creates a folder on the backend based on their session info. Then they
select a couple of different reports, enter the required parameters and hit
print. The web app runs a VB program that loads the RPT file, modifies the
connections so it's getting the data from the correct customer database,
then exports the report as a PDF into the previously created folder. The
user is then redirected to that file so they can download it.
Whether the report is shown in a browser window or not is all dependent on
the customers settings for PDF documents. We don't need interactive
web-based reports, we don't need to drill-down, we don't need OLAP. It's a
simple "I want a report", "Here it is" scenario, but there is the definate
potential of having several hundred customers all requesting reports at the
same time, which is something our current solution can't handle.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.2005 has the ability to change the datasource at runtime. You do not need to
do any of this creating a folder in the background etc. Everything that you
want is really very simple.When your web app renders it can request it as
PDF. Also, you can send the report a parameter and based on that parameter
pick the appropriate database.
Implementing your security is the biggest issue (and what comes up the most
with an internet application). You will need to do forms based
authentication (which I have not done and do not know much about).

>|||Thanks for the reply Bruce. Application security is already handled.
Maybe you can guide me through my understanding of how SSRS would handle
this?
a) User opens web-page.
b) User selects report from drop-down list, and the postback shows the
correct parameter options.
c) User enters the parameter values he needs.
d) User clicks on print.
e) Pop-up appears asking the user to wait while their report is prepared.
f) A few minutes later, the pop-up disappears to be replaced by the usual
File Download dialog.
g) User clicks Save and the PDF is saved to their PC.
We can do this in Crystal Reports without any fuss, but when more than 30
users are performing the same actions at the same time, the queue of report
requests ends up being pretty large as it takes quite some time to produce
each report. We're hoping that SSRS will let us "farm" out the report
generation to multiple servers.

problem. RS has support for web farms. The Reporting Services app (which is
a 2.0 dotnet application) can run on a web farm. They all use the same
backend database for object/metadata caching. You do have to purchase a SQL
Server 2005 server license for each box running
PDF processing is more resource intensive than html or csv but RS 2005 has
improved this over RS 2000.

Then foreach node in the node list, change the InnerText to the new font &
republish the report

Thank you for your reaction. For your solution I have to write code ? I did
find the GetReportDefinition but not the SelectNodeList. Can you explain more
how to do this ? .
I did find out that it is possible to use Edit -> Find and Replace ->
Replace in Files. This is not perfect but it helps to avoid changing every
item. Then you can change all reports in the project to the font-family arial
for example.

Yes, you will have to write code. SelectNodeList is in the System.Xml.XPath
namespace.
However, if you only want to change the font once, then Find/Replace might
be easier. I was thinking that you may need to change the font regularly.

Change Datasource connectionstring
Hey,
I have a SQL Server 2005, an Reporting Services is also installed.
Now I have a report 'Report1' and a datasource 'DS1', the report is build and deployed.
The report works fine when i see it in a browser.
Now I have made a vb.net application with a dataviewer, the dataviewer shows the report 'Report1'.
But I want to be able to change the datasource 'DS1' from my application code.
How can I do this?
thanks
Hi,
you could use a hidden parameter which will influence the beahaviour of a dynamic evaluated connectring string, though connection strings can be designed dynamically like ="Data Source" + IIF(Parameters!SomeParam.Value = 1, "SomeServer",SomeOtherServer") That is a thing which is most common, enabling you to do this also on the brwoser interface by just manipulating the URL of the Report.
HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer.
http://www.sqlserver2005.de
change Datasource at runtime
Is it possible to change the datasource dynamically in reporting services.
For example if I have a dataset named DataSet1 whose datasource1 connects to server1, how can I change the same DataSet1 to use datasource2 to points to a different server. I would like to know if this datasource change is possible out side the dataset (dynamically).
Thanks
I've had the same problem. I found that it was not possible without re-rendering the SRS code(XML). It is not possible in SRS since you can't use an expression to change the dataset. Also the field names of datasets may differ.

But I still have the following issues:
- Primarily the walkthrough does not work as it insists
on generating errors being unable to parse the query and
I can't manage to make it work...
- The other issue is that this will provide either
an 'ALL' or single selection but not multiple selection

I am not aware of any parameter to change in this regard (changing the max

Change "Report is being generated"
I develop some application using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 to Russian customers. They usually don't know English well. That's why I really want to change phrase "Report is being generated" to Russian words.
How can I do it? I tried to fing this phrase in configuration files or registry but there wasn't success.
Thank you,Hi,
If I change the language of the browser, the language of the "Report is being generated" changes. Not sure if you have already tried this. If you have, then I'm guessing the Server doesn't have Russian language capabilities. I tried in Russian and it didn't work.

Centralized reports logging
list of reports actually used, their frequency, and all the statistics along
with each one of them such as who, when, where, how long etc.
One way to that is to create a table in sql server and log all the facts
related to these attributes when the report(s) are launched at the front end
(asp.net) side. I am thinking out loud that SSRS must be logging this
information some where.
Is there any way to get to it? If yes, then how. I will google and look at
BOL to see if this could be done. In the mean time, any hints, pointers are
greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance...RS has a series of reports that include packages you schedule (from SQL
Server). I haven't done this yet (I am doing it for RS 2005 but it uses
Integration Services instead of DTS).
RS 2000 steps
1.Reports you can download
2. Create table
3. Create DTS and schedule. This loads the table with info on usage
4. Run or schedule to run the management reports
You definitely do not need to roll you own with this.

Cell Drillthrough in Reporting Services 2005
Hi,
I’ve build a report in reporting services 2005, based on a MOLAP cube (Analysis Services 2005). In the cube I’ve enabled drillthrough.
I know that we can define drillthrough in the report by clicking on one of the members of the dimension hierarchy, but that’s not what I want. I want to be able to drillthrough on a cell. Is there any way how to do that in Reporting Services 2005?
Thanks,
AbdelSSAS actions are not carried to SSRS reports. One workaround is to create a drillthrough report which gets the context from the master report and executes the DRILLTHROUGH MDX query.|||Hi Abdel ,
You have written U know how to define a drillthrough in the report by clicking on one of the members of the dimension hierarchy . can you please tell me how we will do that ?
I am trying to make a drillthrough report ,can you please give me a step by step process for enabling drill through in the reports .
I want to jump to a child report & pass the parameters of the parent report to the child report , I am able to get the parameters value in the child report ,but not able to use those values in the dataset query of the child report .
can you please tell me if this is possible or not ? & if yes how ?
Thanks

CD-Key?
Have one Small Business Server Premium with 5 clients and im trying to install Reporting Services but it keep asking for the key, but there was no key with the program.
Im i supposed to use the key for SQL Server, or SBS?
Thanks in advance
Reporting Services is part of the SQL Server license. You should use a SQL Server product key.
