Using Report Builder 1.0 / 3.0 in SQL Server 2014

Hello

We have been using Report Builder 1.0 & 3.0 since SQL Server 2008 R2 and recently during internal testing on SQL Server 2014, we find that the report builder 1.0 is not available in the SSRS or unable to launch the exe (Click Once & Install methodology)  and we understand from Microsoft that they are moving away from Report Builder 1.0 and this exe is no longer part of SQL Server 2014.

Question

1. Are we okay to save the exe from SQL Server 2008 R2 box and still use that on SQL Server 2014 servers at Customer Servers? Just wondering if this would be valid to do so or does it interfere with Microsoft's licensing contracts.

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks!

Thanks in advance for any help.  I have developed a report that has about 100 columns and 16K records.  My problem is when I try to export the report to Excel it takes too long.  Couple minutes or more.  There is a great deal of formatting and conditional formatting expressions in the rdl.  I have tried a version without any formatting and it still runs long when trying to export.  

This is a report that I'm recreating so I don't have a lot of flexibility on the design.  Also using a subscription is not an option.

I'm wondering if there are settings I can try.  Open to options.

I have also noticed it will export to Excel much quicker in BIDS than when it's been deployed to the SSRS server.

Thanks,

Terry

I am creating an Invoice in report data (rdlc), I want to put vertical line between the columns like

Sl | Description | Qty | Rate | Amount | | | |

My report contains header and footer section also. For vertical line I used line control, it perfectly works on the first page. But line is not visible on the second page. I want the line control to be visible in each page.

Kindly suggest how to resolve.

Hi.

 I'm starting to lear how to use SSRS 2016,  I have made my mobile Report with  Mobile Report Publisher, but I get this problem when Im trying to add data to fill my report.

When I click ADD DATA -> Select my report server-> then select my dataset, after 110 seconds  I get this message:

"Could not add data
There was a problem getting data from the report server web service: The operation has timed out"

I've been looking for solution to this message and found this: 

- Change the rsreporserver.config  to increase the timeout period.

But the problem persists  and no matter how high  I set the timeout period, after 110 seconds I get the message.

thanks for your help.

I'm trying to create a report that has a parameter by [Title] that displays their position type and then a field that is in the same table that has their standard pay rate.  From there I wanted to create a parameter that has hours they have worked, eg, 1,2,3, etc.  I'm trying to display their name and pay and with the second parameter choose how many hours they have worked. 

I did this for one set of values but I want it for multiple values. 

If I have multiple values chosen for the Title - how can I choose multiple values for Hours worked?

Hello

I have upgraded to Visual Studio 2015 from 2013 but when I try to deploy reports they often don't work as show an error saying:

The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services. The report definition may have been created with a later version of Reporting Services, or contain content that is not well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services schemas. Details: There are multiple root elements.

However if I keep trying to deploy them then they sometimes decide to work.

Some reports though I can't get to deploy no matter how many times I try and now if I try to open them in Visual Studio 2013 they don't work in their either as Visual Studio 2015 must have updated them so I cannot deploy the reports at all now.

Is this a bug and if so is it likely to be fixed soon? I am on Visual Studio 2015 Update 3?

Another post here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/cc0b573d-5d05-4f89-90cc-86732601a80c/vs-2015-ssrs-error-there-are-multiple-root-elements?forum=sqlreportingservices says to change the xml definition year from 2010 to 2016 but I have checked my report and it already shows as 2016 so this doesn't seem to be my issue:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2016/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">

Hello

Since installing SQL Server 2014 SP1 CU6 on two different servers we have encountered what appears to be a bug with multi-valued parameters in SSRS where you can no longer drag to expand them. Also you must reload the page before the drop-down will drop down again.

The issue seems to only affect IE11 and is ok in Chrome and did not occur before updating from CU4 so it would seem like it must be a bug.

Hopefully I can get SP2 installed soon but I have looked through what it fixes and it doesn't appear this is one of the issues it addresses.

It would appear someone else is asking about the same issue here: http://db-pub.net/forum-80574203/ssrs2014-drop-list-style-changed-after-cu6-applied.html

This is what the multi-valued drop-down looked like before:

This is what the multi-valued drop-downs looks like now:

As you can see the option to drag the selection list has gone and some of these are very long and contain long descriptions and it means there is no way to view all the text at once.

Once the drop-down has been dropped-down once you must refresh the page which is a pain as it obviously clears the selection from all parameters.

Is there any way to fix this issue aside from reverting to an older CU or does SP2 in fact fix this?

Thanks

Hello

I have to build multiple reports in SSRS consisting of a stacked column chart with multiple stacked columns.

I was able to do this and complete the charts (after initial confusion with primary and secondary axis).

However, whichever way I do it, the key on the chart displays each element twice.

The question is, is there any way to avoid the elements duplicating on the key for the chart:

I could hide the key and hard-code my own key at the top but I would rather avoid this and feel there is some simple solution I am missing (presumably due to the primary and secondary axis).

If I do not set elements to the secondary axis then it fixes the key but I end up with a single stacked column when I need two for each group.

Also lastly if I wanted a group to have more than 2 stacked charts is there no way to achieve this?

Thanks

Robin

I'm installing SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services and I am coming across weird issues when trying to use a Managed Service Account for the Reporting Service Account. 

Is anyone successfully running SSRS with a Managed Service Account or is it still recommended to use a traditional domain account?

We would like to ensure Kerberos delegation is working in this scenario as well. I'm under the impression Managed Service Accounts support delegation.

We need to use a SSIS 2014 data processing extension in SSRS 2014.

But when we update the files:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\RSReportDesigner.config

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS12.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config

with the tags needed:

We received the error:

We search and find that error is because the SSIS 2014 framework is 4 and SSRS is 2.

There is a way to resolve this problem?

We have started working on SSRS 2016 Mobile Reports. The problem we faced is that it does not support writing expressions.

I will explain...

In SSRS 2016 paginated reports, we are able to write the following expression in any of a tabular/matrix cell or chart level:

SUM(X)/SUM(Y) as this is a weighted ratio that should be calculated correctly at each aggregate level.

Now with SSRS 2016 mobile reports, the only way to fetch this information is through datasets. writing SUM(X)/SUM(Y) in a calculated column in a dataset query means that when this data is aggregated in any chart in mobile reports it will be evaluated as SUM(SUM(X)/SUM(Y)) and this leads to incorrect result.

Note we are reading directly from a DW

Any ideas how to get around this issue without having to use OLAP cube (i.e. directly from DW) ??

Hi,

I'm trying to get a wildcard certificate (which is installed in the Local Computer-Personal store) to work with SSRS 2014 Native mode.

When trying to bind in the SSRS Config tool I get the error:

Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.WMIProviderException: The SSL certificate is not trusted.
 ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040241): TabletPC inking error code. The property was not found, or supported by the recognizer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040241)

   at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.CreateSSLCertificateBinding(UrlApplication app, String certificateHash, String ipAddress, Int32 port)

The SSL certificate is from Comodo and it does have a private key.

Viewing the certificate in the store on the General tab it says "Windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate" and on the Certification Path Tab it says  "The issuer of this certificate could not be found" - are these hints to why it is not trusted by SSRS?

Hi,
I am getting the following error - "Report Services instance could not be found".  However, from services, I am able to start and stop SQL Server Reporting Services.  I get the error when I try to connect to Reporting Services from Management Studio.  I am using Sept CTP. 

How do I verify that I have this installed correctly?  From the folder structure, I'm seeing MSSQL.1, MSSQL.2, and MSSQL.3, so I am pretty sure I installed all components that's on the CD.

Any help is appreciated!

I am trying to open Sql Server 2008 Management Studio Reporting Services on a Windows Server 2008 server, but getting an error stating that aReport Services Instance could not be found . I tried configuring it in Reporting Services Configuration Manager , and finding the following:

1) In Web Service URL , there is an "!" icon with a message stating that: "Report Server Web Service is not configured. Default values have been provided to you. To accept these defaults simply press the Apply button, else change them and then press Apply." Selecting Apply simply refreshes the same message... it does not go away. TheResults message states:

• Reserving url http://+:80 (checked)
• The Url has already been reserved.

2) In Report Manager URL , there is an "!" icon stating that I need to "Configure Web Service Url before the Report Manager Virtual Directory," which I am assuming will be possible once I figure out why Web Service URL can't be configured.

All of the SQL Services are running, and can be start/stopped, including the Report Service. Not sure where the Url has been reserved... (this is an uninstall/reinstall of SQL Server). Is this a registry entry that perhaps is an artifact in the registry?

On EP, I need a drop down of all workers based on Hierarchy.
If a worker is not a manager then only his employee id should be shown in the dropdown else
if he has workers under him then it should show him and all workers working under him. I am able to get this when I run the report from AX client but I need
the same drop down list on EP. How can I accomplish that?

here is what I have in client. How can I get this is the SQL Server Report Builder?

I have some questions regarding the migration of sql server 2008 r2 reports to sql server 2014.

The 2008 reports were built in 2008 r2  provided BIDS but now I am planning to migrate these into SSRS 2014 .Hence I am trying to determine the impact on the current rdl (2008 r2 ).

What I want to know is 

1. If I open the report is Visual studio 2013 SSDT (SQL SERVER 2014) will the rdl undergo xml definition upgrade ?

As per Microsoft-

When you open a report in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), the report definition isupgraded to the currently supported RDL schema. When you specify a SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 report server in the project properties, the report definition is saved in a schema that is compatible with the target server.

Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.

Question: So in the new visual studio I can always switch back to old definition if I upgraded to new rdl ?Or once I chose new server 2014 in project properties the upgrade is final? 

2.If I just take the RDL built in 2008 r2 and deploy on report manager and map data sources it works with no issues.

Now as per Microsoft -

When you upgrade a Reporting Services installation to a SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services (SSRS) installation, existing reports and snapshots that have been published to a report server are compiled and automatically upgraded to the new schema the first time they are processed. If a report cannot be automatically upgraded, the report is processed using the backward-compatibility mode. The report definition remains in the original schema.

Question: So question is if the report undergoes automatic upgrade on report manager 2014 if we download it can we open this rdl in visual studio 2008 ?I doubt since it would have undergone upgrade it might not open

Is there any way to really hide the hidden reports and the View Option in the Web Portal?

I have hidden reports in previous versions of SSRS that the users could not see but they can see and access them in SSRS 2016.
