Report service and automatically creating a PDF report.

woundering if there's a way for the user to automatically create a PDF report
via a report button.
Currently when users click the report button the users web interface opens
(would like to not the the web interface just create the PDF without any
interaction) then the user is prompted to open/saved/cancel.
Is it possible to click on the so called report button and automatically
create the PDF? no dialog boxes appering just create the PDF?
Is this a workstation issue with internet exploier?
Running the 2000 version of SQL & it's counter part of reporting services.

MikeHi Mike,
Well I'm using RS 2005 and all the latest stuff here, so I'm not sure
if it'll work but here goes. From a website, my users click a button
and I then do this in C# my code :
//*******************************
string url;
int idStage =3D Convert.ToInt32(lblIdStage.Text);
int annee =3D Convert.ToInt32(lblAnnee.Text);
int idTrimestreAdmission =3D
Convert.ToInt32(lblIdTrimestreAdmission.Text);
url =3D
"http://xxxxx.xxxxx.ca/ReportServer?/Rapport_xxxx/Etxxxge";
url +=3D "&rs:Format=3DPDF";
url +=3D "&idStage=3D" + idStage;
url +=3D "&annee=3D" + annee;
url +=3D "&idTrimestreAdmission=3D" + idTrimestreAdmission;
url +=3D "&idDomaineFormation=3D" +
Convert.ToInt32(Session["IdDomaineFormation"]);
Response.Redirect(url);
//*******************************
This basically pop up a acrobat reader with my report in it.
Hope it helps, cheers.

Report server

I am using sql express. I started report server using window services. It started and stopped automatically. How can it be kept going? I did use the configuration utility in report server.

thanks,

hobby

Hi Hobby,

Could you, please, take a look in the Reporting Services windows service log file to see what error you find there?

I would also recommend to take a look in the event viewer to see what was logged there regarding the stop of your service.

The Reporting Services windows service log file lives in this directory:

%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Reporting Services\LogFiles

and its name looks like this:

ReportServerService__<timestamp>.log

Report Refresh - Bug or Feature

I've noticed that for automatically refreshing reports when you run the
report (and the page refreshes) the data is not updated. Only when you click
the refresh button in the toolbar does the data start changing. Is this a
bug or a feature? The reason why I ask is I want to know if I can depend on
this behaviour in the future or will it change when something is "fixed"?
Thanks in advance,
James SnapeYou can rely on this behavior. Refresh the page and refresh for data for
the report are two different things. Refreshing the data for the report
requires a lot more work on the server while refreshing the page is none.
