Ok, so here's the catch. It works one 1 machine, a co-workers machine. I can login as any user and it'll work fine. But when I try it on any other machine, including my laptop, my desktop, my server, etc. I get that error. I've tried adjusting the IE Security settings, firewall settings, even tried different browsers. Here's some of the stuff installed on my machines:

Laptop
-Windows XP Pro
-ASP.NET Validation Tool
-Visual Basic Express w/ SQL Server Express
-.NET 1.1/2.0 Framework

-Visual Studio 2005 Professional

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Even our lead developer has no clue, it won't work on his machine either!

ReportBuilder Issues w/ Form Authentication

I successfully created an authentication and authorization extension for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. However, when I login into Report Manager, I never see the Report Builder button. I assigned the account to System Administrator and also gave it Content Manager permissions. I searched everywhere but can't find an answer. If I revert back to Windows Authentication, everything works fine.I got the Security Extension Sample up and running, and it also does not show the Report Builder button. Is this a bug with Report Manager or am I not setting something in the config files?|||You can modify your security component to allow this by making sure that permission for each activity is granted to a sysadmin user group (specified in your configuration file) at login. (This is your authorization class if you follow the sample.)

If the only thing you are worried about is Report Builder access you can control through through a link in your own solution as well. All the button does is launch http://yourservername/ReportServer/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder and let the click-once app take over. You would may still need to fix your auth class to save anything though.

ReportBuilder default save folder is Reportserver/Models

Hi all,
When any user has created a report (based on a published model) using
ReportBuilder and wants to save it, the default save location is
../Reportserver/Models and not (as I expected) the root folder.
1) As far as I know the default save folder should be the root folder
(/Reportbuilder). Is that correct?
1-1) If yes - What causes this "misbehaviour"
2) Is it possible to change the default save folder to root (or maybe even
"My Reports")?
SW:
Windows Srv 2003 R2 SP1 - 64bit
SQL 2005 SP2 - 64bit
Thanks for any answers or comments!
PeterIf i am reading this correct
Right click the folder in solution explorer and change the default
folder location to My Reports
Cheers|||Hi!
I'm not sure if you get me right - or I get you wrong :-)
Thx for your reply.
> If i am reading this correct
Just to make it clear: I am not talking about where to publish the solution,
but where Report Builder tries to save a newly create report.
> Right click the folder in solution explorer and change the default
> folder location to My Reports
Please explain what folder I should right click?
If I open the project in VS 2005 the structure is
Project name
Data Sources
xxxxx.ds
Data Source views
xxxxx.dsv
Report Models
xxxxxxxx.smdl
Best regards,
Peter

reportbuilder clickonce

Hello!
Does anyone know which permissions our users will need in order to let
reportbuilder install from the SSRS homepage?
I have read that the clickonce process should make this smooth, BUT when we
try this, the reportbuilder does not install unless "local
administrator"-permissions are assigned to the users. According to the log,
the deployment process is trying to write to the registry - and this is
probably what makes the app require admin-permissions.
Strange - since Ive read an MS-article stating that the users should not
need these permissions.
Anyone has any comments ?

David,
What I did was go into Site Settings and create a new System Role
called ReportBuilderUser with just the Execute Report Definition task
assigned. After that it was just a case of assigning that role to the
individuals or groups that need to see the Report Builder button in
Report Manager.
Don't feel bad about needing help on this. Unless it's changed, the
MS documentation for this is not clear.

toolman|||Hi toolMan, thx for answering!
Thing is that in order for ReportBuilder application to install, the user
seem to need some permissions on their LOCAL computer (not the server
site-wide settings-stuff).
The ReportBuilder app seems to write to some registry-keys and in order to
do this, the users seems to need to be local adminstrators of their
machines.
Does anyone recognize this?

reportbuilder button not appearing

Hi Everyone,
I am not getting the reportbuilder button on the toolbar in report
server portal. I have implemented forms security on the reporting
services instance.
Can anyone please help me solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
BharathHi All,
I got the resolution for this problem. I was implementing the sample
from SQL 2000 on an SQL 2005 platform. After implementing the forms
authentication using the sources from SQL 2005 the button is
appearing...

ReportBuilder authentication

I am using the Report Builder in my application. When it is opened from an environment where there is no proxy, it is asking for authentication and it is working properly.

But when it is opened from the client environment where there is proxy, it is not asking for authentication and he cannot select or view any source of data.

How can I force the Report Builder in the client environment to prompt for authentication? If this cannot work, is there any other possible solution? (Not that it is not allowed to open the port)

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

As you mentioned, the only difference is set the proxy or not, right? Based on my knowledge, I don't think it would affect the behavior of Forms Authentication.

Could you help to check on the following points:

? If you use Forms Authentication, anonymous access must be enabled on the report server virtual directory in Internet Information Services (IIS).
? ASP.NET authentication must be set to Forms. You configure ASP.NET authentication in the Web.config file for the report server.
? Reporting Services can authenticate and authorize users with either Windows Authentication or custom authentication, but not both. Reporting Services does not support simultaneous use of multiple security extensions.

Thanks.

|||

Will that affect the reports?

Hi,

? If you use Forms Authentication, anonymous access must be enabled on the report server virtual directory in Internet Information Services (IIS).

? Reporting Services can authenticate and authorize users with either Windows Authentication or custom authentication, but not both. Reporting Services does not support simultaneous use of multiple security extensions.

These actions take effect on the reporting servcie site level. It's for the security on reporting servcie site. So it won't affect the detail reports.

Thanks.

ReportBuilder and Forms Authentication

We created a custom security extension for RS using Forms Authentication. The issue I am having is in ReportBuilder when the forms authentication ticket expires. Forms auth will attempt to redirect (send a HTTP 302) and the report builder will show the error message "Object moved to here" instead of prompt for credentials. I have been watching the IIS logs and I see the first time report builder start it attempt to connect using default windows credentials and after the FormsAuthenticationRequired exception it will prompt for credentials and invoke LogonUser method, but this only happens the first time or if change the server in the url. I was expecting ReportBuilder to consider the Forms Authentication expiration at any time.

Do you have any idea how to work around this?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks

Hope this helps. http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=278056

RS using FBA deletes a cookie that is used in authenticating user. The fix is available on request( not released officially)
|||

Thanks for your response. I saw this fix before writing in this forum. (I found it here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939942/ ) What I am concerned is that it is touching only the sharepoint dll. I am not using sharepoint. I do not even have RS configured for sharepoint integration. I am using Forms Authentication in the ReportServer and ReportBuilder displays the "object moved" error when the authentication ticket expires and gets a HTTP redirect while requesting a method in the web service after ticket expired. I suspect this is a bug. To workaround this I had to increase the timeout of the forms authentication in the web.config for ReportServer to 48 hours.

However if a user keeps a report open in the ReportBuilder application for more than 48 hours the changes will be lost because he will get the error and will not be able to save the changes. I think this is a bug. Microsoft has been saying Reporting Service 2005 supports Forms Authentication thru a custom security extension but I am not sure they have tested properly.

I have been inspecting the code for ReportBuilder application using .net Reflector and I noticed it prompts for credentials only when the main form is loaded and the first attemp using default Network Credentials fails because Forms Authentication is required. Then the LogonUser is invoked and the authentication cookie is created. However if this cookie expires they never attempt to connect again unless the server path change. In my opinion this is wrong. They should be consistent with the forms authentication and prompt for credentials again.

Increase the timeout in my opinion is a workaround but not the solution. If I am wrong and someone knows the answer to this, please, I will really appreciate it. In the other hand, I will try to get this fix for sharepoint. Maybe it will consist in more than sharepoint dll and it will "automagically" fix the issue

Thanks for your reply.

ReportBuilder 2005 and non-SSL

I've installed SQL Server 2005 CTP and I can't get ReportBuilder to
work. Everything is on a single XP computer. There are two possible
issues I can think of:
1. I've installed this "side-by-side" with an instance of SQL Server
2000 and Reporting Services 2000. Thus the virtual directories
localhost/Reports and ReportServer are already in use. I configured the
2005 to use Reports2 and ReportServer2.
2. There is no SSL certificate on my machine. I was hoping just to run
everything via http:. I noticed when I installed that the setup dialog
told that I had a certificate (!) and so it was going to install things
for SSL. However if I look in RSReportServer.config, I see <Add
Key="SecureConnectionLevel" Value="0"/>, which I believe means no SSL.
When I try to download reportbuilder from the Report Manager page, it
tells me that the download has been interrupted. If I just try to
execute the report builder .exe from the web directory, it does start
up and presents me with a user name/password dialog box. If I fill this
in and press OK, it tells me "No report server was found at
https://localhost/reportserver. That is, it is looking at the wrong
virtual directory and using the wrong protocol.
Is there some way to configure ReportBuilder so it uses a non-default
URL for the report server? Can I even use the CTP version without a
certificate?
Thanks...MikeDid you find the solution? I am having the same problem.

Nevermind Figured it out -

Modify RSWebApplication.config for Hard IP.

<ReportServerUrl>http://<Site IP Address>/ReportServer</ReportServerURL>

<ReportServerVirtualDirectory></ReportServerVirtualDirectory>

Works - just recycle the application pools in IIS. By the way if you are configuring the manager for a non-default IP address be carefull. For some reason the report manager does not like a <ReportServerVirtualDirectory> value if <ReportServerURL> is supplied.

ReportBuilder

I installed RS 2005 on my machine. Everything works except the reportbuilder.
When I launch it I get the message
An unhandled exception of type
'Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2005.RSConnection.MissingEndpointException' occurred in ReportBuilder.exe
Additional information: The attempt to connect to the report server failed.
Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible
version.
Any ideasRoland,
Which build of SQL Server 2005 are you using?
Which OS?
Was it a clean install or after uninstall of earlier builds?
I don't recall seeing this specific error reported before although
there were some problems with early builds of Report Builder.

That was the April CTP.

April CTP was, if I remember correctly, only the second public build
with Report Builder in it. I remember having problems connecting to
Report Builder in one early build but don't remember if it was April
CTP.
If you have access to MSDN or BetaPlace I suggest you update to
September CTP. You will need a matching copy of Visual Studio 2005
(which is the VS2005 Release Candidate).
Uninstall order of the April CTP is VERY important. Read the Sept CTP
/ Visual Studio 2005 RC documentation CAREFULLY.
After a successful uninstall, the install order is SQL Server 2005
Sept CTP first then Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate.

reportbuilder. Indeed the installation order is important; as I also have SQL
2000 with Reporting Services 2000/SP2 on the same machine I had to reinstall
also the SP2 of RS 2000 because the uninstall of the version of RS2005 also
influences the behaviour of RS2000

Reportbuilder

Where can I get this for SQL Server 2000 ?You have to buy Visual Studio .NET 2003 (at least a one language version,
even if yu don´t wanna code something within the reporting services). In
Europe that´ll be about 100? for single licence.

ReportBuider and cascading parameters

Is it possible to implement cascading parametrs via Report Builder
filters?

Hi,
Haven't found out about Report Builder, but i do know the via BI
studio you can.
In order to work with cascading params, you must have more then one
dataset and
i don't see how that's possible with ReportBuilder.
if you need more info how to do it via Business Intelligence Studio,
just tell me.
Greetings
Vinnie|||I know it's possible in Designer;
I'd like to implement it in ReportBuider...
Thank you for your response.

Report: same

Hi There

We created a report from an Informix database stored procedure (with parameters). When we execute the stored procedure in the data page, it returns correct result set with column headings blank. In the datasets page, the field names are: ID, ID_1, ID_2, …

When I preview a report created from the dataset, all the fields shows the same value as field1 (ID). I have no idea on what happened, why it happened, and how to resolve it? Could you please help?

Thanks in advance.

Jane

It's been awhile since I have run into this, so apologies if this isn't exactly right. I believe this occurs when Reporting Services can't get the column metadata from the database, or when all the columns have the same base name (the table.column name may be unique, but the column name is not). So the mapping of values to columns doesn't work correctly.

The workaround for us was to make sure the database query aliased all columns to a unique name.

|||

Thanks for your reply.

You are right, our problem is Reporting Services can't get the column metadata from the stored procedure return result. In the data page, we select Text, and type:

execute procedure proc_name (?)

Because we use stored procedures instead of queries, not sure how to set the column names. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Cheers

Jane

Report/subreport help?

How would you run one report that is made out of two reports at the same time to get them dispayed on seperate pages as well.

Would you create a subreport or something else, and how many subreports can you have within a report, and if you had more then one where is the best places to insert it in the report and would you know where can I find some info about that.

I hope all of this makes sense,because I am just completely stuck.

Regards"How would you run one report that is made out of two reports at the same time to get them dispayed on seperate pages as well... and if you had more then one where is the best places to insert it in the report"

- I would create 2 subreports. The best place to put them (I think) would be the details section. Make a Details a and a Details b and set the NewPageAfter for Details a.

"how many subreports can you have within a report"

- I'm not sure what the limit is. I have a report that has 3 subreports without a problem.

"where can I find some info about that."

- Not sure about any specific websites, but you can try a search in following links:

Report/query parameter default values

I am using a SQL stored procedure for a report. The sproc has a variable in it (@.itemnumber) to be supplied by the user at run time. In the report parameters within Visual Studio Designer, I am trying to set a default value for the parameter of % so that all items will be returned unless the user enters a specific item number. In the Visual Studio preview this works but once the report is deployed to the web server, the default value does NOT show up. Please advise.

Report, Data sources errors.

Hi,

I have created several reports with Reporting Services and Visual Studio 2005 for an ASP.NET 2 application.

Now, when I want to edit a report and I select Report -> Data Sources in the Visual Studio menu, I get the error "prefix " cannot be mapped to namespace name "xml" or "xmlns". Line 1 position 87." My website datasources are empty and I can't build new reports.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help.

Nicolas.

I am having this same problem. Does anyone have a solution.

I was able to make 2 Reports, and as I was working on my third report today the same error occured.

When i open the pervious reports i made (which still work), and goto Report > Data Sources I also get the error message:

Prefix '' cannot be mapped to namespace name reserved for "xml" or "xmls". Line 1, position 87

Any help is appreciated - thanks.

Report's Parameter : From Date to Date

I want to add 2 parameters in my report to delimit a date range. The report is based on Analysis Services 2005 and I have created a Time Dimension. What is the best way to do this ?

I would prefer to use a Datetime parameter type because of the calendar component, but then I don't succeed to associate this parameter with the Time Dimension in the filter expression...

I really need an answer to that question, please help me |||You can't really use a datetime parameter (at least not using the built-in prompting) as AS dates are members of a dimension, not scalars. And you aren't really guaranteed that the range between two members will give you what you want. We could add a feature at some point to convert them but that doesn't exist now.|||

Thanks for the answer.

I just found a solution to my problem, even if the solution is not what I hoped for, it may help someone :

I created two Report Parameters "From Date" and "To Date" which use the calendar component to let the user choose a date. And in my Dataset, in the '...' button, in the 'Parameters' bar, I add a parameter whose value is :

="[Temps].[Temps - Date Key].[" & Year(Parameters!FromTempsTempsCalendrier.Value) & "-" & IIF(Month(Parameters!FromTempsTempsCalendrier.Value)<10,"0","") & Month(Parameters!FromTempsTempsCalendrier.Value) & "-" & IIF(Day(Parameters!FromTempsTempsCalendrier.Value)<10, "0","") & Day(Parameters!FromTempsTempsCalendrier.Value) & " 00:00:00]"

That way, I build the UNIQUENAME properties of my Time Dimension.

But an error occurs when the user select a date which does not exist in the Time Dimension.

|||

Thanks for the possible solution. However, I've been working on following your steps, but I am not getting it to work.

Could you explain in a little more detail how to accomplish this?

Report Y-Axis Scale Appears to be incorrect

Chart Report Y-Axis is not consistently scaling correctly. For many reports, it works well and the Y-axis is correctly scaled. For others, Y-axis scaling is incorrect. We have verified that the data behind the report is correctly reflected in the chart. However, the chart Y-axis scaling is not matching the data.

For example in this report excerpt:

http://home.comcast.net/~michael.lane/Bad_Y-Scale_Trend_Chart.PNG

We are using automatic axis scaling with no programmatic intervention. Most other similar charts from this report display correctly, with correct scaling.

Your assistance in pinning this down is very much appreciated.

Although this issue was not on the list of items addressed, it nevertheless appears to be fixed via the latest SP1 patch.

I should have corrected my first post to state we are using SSRS2K SP2. It
is strange that this simplest report fails where much more complex ones are
OK. The report was imported from an Access2000 .mdb file. I will try
recreating it from scratch to see what happens. If all else fails I'll
install a trial of SSRS 05 on a different server and try it there.|||I've been able to reproduce the error. Starting from an empty report, the
body would deploy and print OK. When I added the pageheader from the
imported report, I got the "index out of range" error. Here is the

Report works fine stand alone, but fails when used as subreport

The error that I'm getting is this:

[rsErrorExecutingSubreport] An error occurred while executing the subreport ‘subreport1’: An error has occurred during report processing.

[rsMissingFieldInDataSet] The data set ‘WarrantMasterCube’ contains a definition for the Field ‘Year’. This field is missing from the returned result set from the data source.

Of course, this doesn't happen when I execute the subreport by itself. What kinds of things should I be looking at to get to the bottom of this. Thanks!

Try by giving default value for your subreport.

Thanks

As noted above, the report being used as a subreport does have its own default parameter.

The error actually went away without me changing anything in my reports. What I did was leave teh subreport open in preview mode, tehn preview the main report. this seemed to fix the "fields not found" error.

I then edited the parameters property of the subreport object embedded in the main report, so that the user chosen parameter value in the outer report passes through to the subreport, and it all works fine.

Basically there must be some flakiness in some internal component that was causing the error.

Report works fine on VS.NET 2003, get error when uploaded

Hello,

I created a report and use stored procedure to retrieve data. The report works perfect on VS.NET 2003 IDE. But when I upload the .rdl file to the report server, it doesn't work. The error msg I got is:

Reporting Services Error

---

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)Get Online HelpQuery execution failed for data set 'dsTransTime'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)Get Online HelpProcedure 'usp_RPT_Procedure_Name' expects parameter '@.Parameter1', which was not supplied.

---

Anyone know the problem?
Thanks,Finally, I make it works. But I still don't know how I made it.
I cannot find a similiar errors from google. So everything I did is based on guess. Becasuse the error msg shows the report cannot take the parameter, I removed the parameter and re-created it again. Also, I use refresh button on the Data view to refresh the dataset.

Sometime I feel waired about Reporting services.

Report works byitself, but not in a SubReport

Hi All,
I am trying to run a report which has no parameters. it works fine in
design and even on the report server. but as soon as i put it in a
subreport it gives an error
"Error: SubReport could not be shown"
i have tried almost all of the help available on these group, i have
put the report to be of the same size, removed all the parameters(so
there are no parameters).
will highly appreciate any valuable suggestions.

This is not an Access or VBA error. So take a look at the report events
(On Load, On Open). There must be some piece of code throwing that
exception.
mfG
--> stefan <--|||I presume you are getting the error in the VS designer. Is the calling
report is in the same project as the subreport?
Also you posted this to reporting services group and access. They are
quite different reports. I am assuming this is a reporting services
report.

Report won't rerun after parameter change

One of our Sales Reps is having issues with a report I've made and as far as I know he's the only one (Out of about 50) who has had this issue. He's running IE 7. What happens is he'll enter in the parameters and run the report and it works fine. But when he goes to change the dates he entered as parameters and then clicks "View Report" again to run the report again, the browser just redisplays the same results and doesn't even generate a new report. It appears as if the browser has cached his previously ran report and then just redisplays it instead of going back to the server and re-generating the report. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas? I appreciate it.

JD

I ran into the same issue when the report was cached (by SSRS). It did not find any work around other than to not cache the report which unfortunately you have no control over and I would say is less than an optimal solution.

Report wont render

I am having an issue with a particular report not rendering when
displaying in the web browser from reporting services web site. The
report never displays and if you check under site settings the job is
showing that it is in an Action of "Render". Has anyone else ever seen
this? Is there something I should look for in one of the log files to
help me find out what is causing this error?

A litte more infomation. I get the following message in the browser:

Microsoft Reporting Services|||This looks like an IIS timeout issue. Try increasing the IIS timeout on the

IIS 6 has a default connection timeout of 120 seconds (while IIS 5 has 900

report wont refresh when accessed remotely

I have a report that is based on a straight forward query of
select * from tblx
No parameters ...
tblx gets populated by processes from an application that get invoked from a
command button. In the same process I then invoke the report using my
published url. The report comes up OK. But when I change the data in tblx
and bring up the report, it is still displaying the old data. Do I need to
add parameters to the query for it to refresh the data? Could someone
explain why the report does not refresh with the new data in tblx?
Thanks,
RichThank you for your reply. I am using RS2003 with sql server 2000. I went to
report properties but I don't see a report manager or anything about
execution. I went to the project properties - where I set the URL but I did
not see anything for executive there either. Is there somewhere on the
toolbar I can go to for locating the Report Manager or something about
execution?
Thanks,
Rich

to display the reports.
http://YourServer/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Click on a report, click on the properties tab, on the left you will see
execution (I assume it is there for 2000). You will definitely see other
items like General, Security, etc.

that is how you set up security roles. Plus you use it for other things like
setting credentials for data sources etc.
When you say this did not return anything:
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Did you get any message? Sometimes you need to put in fully qualified server
name http://myservername.whatever.com/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
If you have a working Reporting Server then someone in you organization has
to know about this.
Also, even if there, you would need to be in the proper role to be able to
make a change.
If it comes up and there are no folders then that is because you are not in
the correct role.

started because of an issue with execution and caching.
Someone has to be an administrator on your Report Server site. Who is that?
They should be either doing this for you or setting you up with the correct
role. In Books Online look up the word roles filtered by SQL Server
Reporting Services.

relatively new to Reporting Services. The owner's son manages the network
(real young guy), and I did not set up RS. It was already in place. The
only RS I ever set up was the free one from msdn, and I don't recall having
to set up roles. Anwya, I found an introductory article on google about
roles/security for RS. At least I got some direction from this post on which
way to go.

installed everything on your machine and you were a local admin for the
machine, then you automatically are in the administrator role for RS.
One easy way, if they add your userid to the local adminstrators account on
the server then you will be good to go.
