Exporting CRM 2011 SSRS 2008 report to excel uses old Excel 1997-2003 version

The Notes field is appearing cut off on the exported excel spreadsheet. I am wondering if it is related to the version of excel when exporting from CRM report. The only option is MS Excel 1997-2003, when in fact we have MS Office 2010 installed. How can
I get the report export to excel to use the 2010 version? Will this clear up the issue of the excel cell from being too small to dispay the entire field? Any help would be appreciated, Thank you, Mark A M

Hi Mark A M,
In SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report that is compatible with Microsoft Excel 1997-2003. This is the unique renderer for Excel renderer in SSRS 2008. Since SSRS 2012, the default Excel renderer is the version
compatible with Microsoft Excel 2007-2010. So we cannot export the report to excel use Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 version in SSRS 2008. This is by design.
As to your issue, please note that the width of the column in Excel which inherit the width in the report. So we need make sure the cell width is sufficient to display the Notes field in report.

Hope this helps.

How do you freeze the tablix header row in an Excel export file in SSRS 2008?

So this is totally killing me.
I've found out how to make a tablix header row repeat on each page of a PDF export file in SSRS 2008 (which I won't even get started on because all I can say is that 2005 is way better), but I cannot figure out how to make a simple header row of a tablix
freeze in an Excel export file. The tablix is right at the top of the body and spans the entire width of the design area. How in the world do you get it to freeze in the Excel export file?

Rashiki777,
From your information, I get that you want to freeze the tablix header when view the report in Excel. Please follows
these steps:
Click
the header row
Click
View menu on top of the toolbar, then you will Freeze Panes
Select one kind of Freeze based on your requirement.
This link supplies the detailed steps
http://inpics.net/tutorials/excel2007/vis5.html If you have any concern, please feel free to ask.
Of course,
you could utilize the list control to display a certain rows on one sheet, then every sheet in Excel will have one header, the steps are following:
Drag a list into report body, right-click
Details in Row Groups panel to select Group Properties….
Click
Add button, then type in expression =ceiling(RowNumber(nothing)/25)
in the textbox Note: 25 is just 25 rows per page, you could reset this value based on your requirement.
Drag the table control into this list control.
If you want to display every page in every sheet, you could add a page break to the table control in the list.

SSRS 2008 reports with images throw script error with IE9

When i try to load SSRS 2008 report in a browser or a application with browser control on machine which has IE9, it loads the image but throws some script error. I also tried installing the ReportViewer08 SP1.exe, but still i get the error.
The error is "Object doesnt support method or property"
In the script debugger i see debugger stuck at "this.Poll..." statement.
function anonymous()
this.PollResizeImages(oReportDiv, oReportDiv);

I'm also getting this error when I run a report using ReportViewer control

SSRS-2008 reports problem in DMP 4400 standalone(tvzilla)

Hi guys,
Does anyone knows how I can to render SSRS-2008 reports in DMP 4400 standalone and its browser(tvzilla = Firefox 2.0.0.18) ?
My frimework version on DMP is 5.4.1(lastest)
I google for it and found something like an answer, but it seems to be mostly for Safari and Chrome...
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5968082/ssrs-2008-r2-ssrs-2012-reports-are-blank-in-safari-and-chrome
Thank you in advance !

Hristo.

Hoang,
In SSRS 2005, white spaces are automatically ignored. But in 2008 this behavior gets changed and by default whitespaces are not ignored. But, There is Report property
ConsumeContainerWhitespace which is set to False by default. We can remove blank space at end by setting
ConsumeContainerWhitespace to true.
The logic to prevent the unnecessary pagebreak is
- ReportBody width should be less then Pagesize(width) – Left Margin – Right Margin
- ReportBody height should be less then Pagesize(Height) – Top Margin – Bottom Margin – Header height – Footer height

How to deploy SSRS 2008 reports to Sharepoint 2013.

Hi,
Can some one guide me how to deploy SSRS 2008 reports to SharePoint 2013 by giving the exact steps from where to begin. We have all our reports deployed in SharePoint 2010.Need to migrate those reports to Sharepoint 2013 instance. I
also want to know how and where exactly we modify the connection strings to manage the data sources for the reports . Since I am very new to this field I am not able to properly understand other sites i have gone through . I have gone through the prerequisites
also.Kindly help me by providing step by step method.
Thanks,
Mridhula

If you don't just want to upgrade your database, simply open the report project (which should be on your local file system) and edit the report properties, changing the Report Server URLs appropriately to the new SharePoint server URLs.

Strange issue with a huge SSRS 2008 report (supposed to return 3 million records)

Hi,
NOTE: The strange part (as mentioned in title) will come in the end.
I am running a SSRS 2008 report which fetches 3 million records from a remote server. After around 1 hour the report processing stops and I see an error icon on the lft bottom of the browser window. When I click on that to see the error details it shows
some PageRequestManagerSQLErrorException with an unknown error message with code 12029 (sometimes 12002).
When I see the reportserver logs there is an error message logged in it which says "Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportServerDatabaseUnavailableException: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the
database is required for all requests and processing. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportServerDatabaseUnavailableException: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for
all requests and processing. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size
was reached."
The <DatabaseQueryTimeOut> value in the report server configuration file is already having a value set to 7200 seconds(2 hours).
NOW, the strange part is, when I open the ExecutionLog2 table in ReportServer database, there is an entry for the same report with the status as "success" !!!
My head is spinning over this issue, somebody please rescue.
Regards.

Not sure if this will help but you might give it a try :
1. Open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the registry path below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
3. Create a DWORD value MaxUserPort.
Value name
MaxUserPort
Value data (in Decimal)
10000
4. Restart the server.
5. Check and confirm that the registry key ‘MaxUserPort’ is added.
Do the same process as above for TCPTimedWaitDelay and reduce the value to 60. The above steps are to increase the maxuserports and reduce the time_wait in order to free up resources on the server.

SSRS 2008 Report with two tablix have extra blank pages

I am working on a report in SSRS 2008 that has two tables (or tablices?). My report is set to a width of 11 and height of 8.5, left and right margins of 0.25, top and bottom margins of 0.5. Paper size is Letter, Orientation is landscape.
With margins accounted for, I basically have 10.5 of workspace for the Body. The first tablix's width is way under 10.5 but the second tablix has lots of columns and would have to span two pages so the Body goes past 10.5 but I
kept it under 22 (twice one page). I put a PageBreak after the first tablix. When I run the report and do a Print Layout, the first tablix prints with a blank page after every printed page of that table. The second tablix prints just fine, no extra
blank pages in between. So I suspect that it is the "empty space" to the right of the first tablix, which is caused by the second tablix's width, that is the problem.
However when I tried to switch the tables in my report and have the wider tablix print first and the narrower tablix print after it, I did not get any extra blank pages on both; the reports prints just fine.
Unfortunately, I cannot have the wider tablix print first with the report I need. I would like to know if this is a bug in SSRS 2008? It appears that there is something with the order report objects are printed and their size. Has anyone figured this out
yet? Thanks.

I found
this post on the MSDN forum that offers the following solutions that worked for a few people responding to that thread. You might want to try one of these:
"I found the problem cause. In Reporting Services, report body width must be <= (report width - report margins width).I reduced the margins to zero width, and the pagination problem disappeared!"
"I have solved my problem. With SSRS you must be very careful with the way you place objects
Growing objects will push those on their right, even if they are not on the same line /!\
Consider a textbox 2 inches large centered, and a growing matrix beneath it. on the left, 1 inch large. At run time the matrix will grow and the title will be pushed aside. And this may cause blank pages.
A workaround is to create 1 rectangle per object. The rectangle should occupy all the body space available while objects occupy only a part of their embedding rectangle."

Subreport causing an extra blank space in PDF export of SSRS 2008 report

Hi All,
I have a requirement of showing individual report and a Supervisor report.
In the individual report, I will run the SSRS report for a particular worker. In the supervisor report, I am supposed to show the report for each worker working under the supervisor.
I have created the individual report and it works fine(even when exported to PDF).
Now in order to create the supervisor report, I will get the supervisor ID which I broke into various individual ID's of workers working under the supervisor in DataSet and created a subreport which points to the Individual report. I embedded this subreport
in a Tablix and gave a group by on the ID so that for each ID, the report runs one time.
The issue that I am facing is that when I export the Supervisor report in PDF, after each page, I get an extra blank page.
The Supervisor report only contains the Tablix which has only one column containing the sbureport which points to the Individual report and a Header and footer and nothing else.
Still I am getting this extra page on PDF export. Please help on the same.

Hi HiddenIdentity,
According to your description, you have a report to display subreport for each ID and you have set page break between each group instance. Now when you export the report into PDF, it generate an extra blank page between each group instance. Right?
In Reporting Services, Reports exported using PDF and Image are optimized for a book-like or printed experience where pages are a consistent size. Page breaks are inserted vertically and horizontally at specific locations within the report body. These specific
locations are determined by the page width and page height settings. Please see the following link:
Rendering Behaviors (Report Builder and SSRS)
In this scenario, when you put a sub report in a cell, the whole subreport body will be displayed in this cell. If the total width exceed the page width of a PDF page, the content will goes to the next page. That's it need two pages to render each subreport.
So please modify the subreport report size to make it as big as the tablix so that it can be rendered within one PDF page.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

SSRS 2008 - Report Manager - Drop-Down menu gone missing

Hi All,
I have been using SSRS for a while and when new subscriptions were required for a report, I used a drop down menu on each report and used the subscribe option. Then this menu has disappeared from all reports. Nothing fundamental has changed
with the system. Is this a setting that someone has changed?
Any help much appreciated.

Hi Park,
In Reporting Services 2008, if you want to create a subscription, you can refer to the steps to do it.
Start Report Manager.
In Report Manager, on the Contents page, navigate to the report you want to subscribe to. Click the report to open it.
Click the Subscriptions tab, and then click New Subscription.
For more detail information about How to: Subscribe to a Report (Report Manager), please see:

SSRS 2008 - report layout not updating after uploading new version

So I changed the layout from portrait to landscape on a report, uploaded it again (marking it to be overwritten), but when doing a print preview or actually printing the report to the printer or pdf, the layout has not changed. Is something being cached?
I even deleted the report and uploaded again, still the same thing.
suggestions?
[edit]
I looked oln the 'Execution' tab of the report in ReportManager, and the radio button for "always run this report with the most recent data" was selected.

Disregard... duh, I was loading them from a previous folder that had older reports in it. Nothing like stupid user error to waste an hour.
Note:
Make sure you know where your loading your RDL files from

Question on what CR 2008 report type to use for a report

Post Author: JohnN
CA Forum: General
Hi all,
I am new to Crystal Reports and have been tasked with using Crystal Reports 2008 to create a report. I have attached an image of what the report needs to look like. The report needs to look like a table, with the 5 left columns being summary info and there can be multiple rows from the 6th column on for each summary row. I have looked through Crystal Reports samples but cannot see anything similar.
Question . Could someone give me some quick general pointers on how this report could be implemented with Crystal Reports 2008?
Thanks in advance for any help,

Thanks sharonmtowler,
I had started to look at the second option you suggested but I cannot see any way of having multiple rows for the one summary row (i.e. the 5 left columns are summary info and there can be multiple rows from the 6th column on for each summary row). I don't see anyway of doing this in a detail section of the report. Up to now I have been familiar with setting up Report Groups then supplying a command to get the detail info. from a database. I haven't seen any examples of having a row with summary info and multiple sub-rows. Is there some other way of selecting data that I am not aware of that will let me get the mutliple sub-rows
Thanks

All 30 minutes my Macs (iMac/Snow Leopard, MacMini/Lion) are loosing the connection to the Windows Servers (2 Networks: Home with Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Office with Home Server V1 (Server 2003)).

Hallo,
Ich betreibe im Büro und zu Hause jeweils einen Microsoft Home Server. In beiden Netzwerken ist neben diversen Windows Rechnern auch ein Mac vorhanden.
Die jeweilige "Konfiguration" ist wie folgt:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, als HTPC) mit Lion per Wlan über AVM Fritzbox 7390 an Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, Arbeitsplatzrechner) mit Snow Leopard per Lan über AVM Fritzbox 7270 an Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
Alle Betriebssysteme sind auf aktuellem Stand.
Die Fritzboxen laufen mit der jeweils aktuellen Firmware
Nun zu dem Problem:
Beide Macs unterbrechen ca. alle 30 min den Kontakt zum Server. Die Verbindung wird zwar ca. 1-2 Minute später wieder aufgebaut, aber am MacMini (HTPC) macht sich dadurch bemerkbar, daß der Film oder die Musik für obige Zeitspanne stoppt und danach weiterläuft. Beim iMac (Arbeitsrechner) kann ein zuvor vom Server geladenes Dokument dann nicht mehr gespeichert oder gedruckt werden.
Der MacMini hat dieses Phänomen direkt bei der Verbindung mit dem WHS gezeigt. Der iMac hat jedoch zuvor ca. 1,5 Jahre ohne Probleme funktioniert. Dieses Problem tritt bei dem iMac (Snow Leopard) erst seit ca. 6-9 Monate auf.
Da unterschiedliche WHS und OS X Versionen betroffen sind und auch unterschiedliche Fritzboxen verwendet werden und scheint ein allgemeines Problem im Zusammenspiel Windows/OS X vorzuliegen.
Bei dem iMac fällt der genaue Zeitpunkt der Verbindungsunterbrechung nicht auf.
Bei dem MacMini läßt sich der Zeitpunkt dagegen relativ leicht bestimmen. Aus der Ereignisanzeige beim Windows Server ergibt sich leider kein eindeutiges Fehlerbild. Zu dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt taucht aber relativ oft, aber nicht immer (!), in "Windows-Protokolle Sicherheit" der Fehler 4625 ("Fehler beim Anmelden eines Kontos") auf. Dies würde auf eine Rechteproblematik hindeuten. Das Konto des Mac kann aber alles was ihm auf dem WHS erlaubt ist.
Beim Suchen nach einer Lösung (bisher leider erfolglos) bin ich u.a. auch über das Problem des Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) beim Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials gestolpert (auch alle 30 min!). Vielleicht ein Zusammenhang?
Hello,
I run the office and at home each a Microsoft Home Server. In both networks, in addition to various Windows computers, a Mac is available.
The particular "configuration" is as follows:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, as HTPC) with Lion via wifi via AVM Fritzbox 7390 to Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, desktop PC) with Snow Leopard by Lan on AVM Fritzbox 7270 on Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
All operating systems on current conditions with all patches and updates.
The Fritz boxes running with the latest firmware
Now to the problem:
Both Macs are loosing every 30 minutes the contact to the server. The connection is "re-"established about 1-2 minutes later. On MacMini (HTPC), the film or music is stopped for the above period. Thereafter, the film / music goes on. With the iMac (workstation) a document loaded from the server can no longer be saved or printed.
The MacMini has shown this phenomenon directly in connection with the WHS. However, the iMac has been working about 1.5 years with no problems. This problem only occurs for about 6-9 months
Because of different WHS and OS X versions are affected and also different Fritz boxes are used and it seems to be a general problem in the interplay Windows / OS X to be present.
When the iMac is the exact date of disconnection does not occur.
With the Mac Mini, the time can however be determined relatively easily. From the Event Viewer on Windows Server is unfortunately no clear error image. At the particular time but appeared relatively often, but not always (!) In Windows Security Logs the error 4625 (Failed to log on an account) on. This would indicate a rights issue.
Searching for a solution (so far unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I stumbled over the problem of the Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (every 30 min!). Maybe a connection?

Hi, and thank you for your reply!
My reason for not posting this in the server forum is that I suspect it is a clien issue. All my other clients connect happily to the server which leads me to believe the server is configured correctly.
Only my the two MacBook Pro's are having problems.

Export and save a Crystal Report in PDF using parameters

Hi @all!
Is it possible to suppress the output of an Crystal Report in a window using parameters? Instead of that I want to save the pdf in a specified folder without using the publication-function.
Fot the parameter I use these link:

Hi,
this is the forum for the SAP Integration Kit. I would suggest you post your question into the Crystal Reports forum.
the answer - yes you can use OpenDocument to show the report right away as PDF.

Ssrs 2008 export to excel and csv file

In a ssrs 2008 report, the user will export data to PDF, excel, and CSV files. When the report is exported to excel or csv file, the user wants me to hide some tablixes. Thus can you show me code on how to export the reports to csv or excel file without
and be able to hide a few tablixes?

Hi jazz_dog,
According to your description, you want to set the visibility for some tablixes based on the exporting file type. Right?
In Reporting Services 2008, we don't have any parameter to get type of exporting file. So we can only create a parameter and select a type before exporting to a file. Then use conditional expression to control the visibility. It's definitely not a good workaround,
so your goal can't be achieved in Reporting Services 2008. However, for Reporting Service 2008R2 or later version, we have a build-in parameter called Render Format Name, this parameter will display the type of exporting file automatically. So we can make
the judgment in expression based on the value of this parameter.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
