Use a SQL 2012 database server with Reporting Services 2008?

Hello, we have a SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services Standard server with the reporting databases running on a SQL Server 2008 Standard database server. I would like to upgrade the database server to SQL Server 2012 before I upgrade the reporting server.
Can I run SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services against a 2008-version database running on a SQL 2012 database server? Thanks for your help.

Hi Nicole
Thanks for your posting.
Are you asking if we can connect from SSRS 2008 r2 to a database sitting on SQL Server 2012. Am I right?, please ignore me if I misunderstood your question. If that is your question
then I think you will be able to using BIDS 2008, I have created A database on SQL Server 2012 and I use that database table inside my SSRS 2008 R2 dataset. I can even think that you can use a database of compatibility level of 2012(110) as well
Many thanks

SQL 2012 R2 - SSRS with the Report Server Web Service URL, can't access

Hello:
I am installing Dynamics CRM 2013. When I am on RS Configuration manager; I am running into the SSRS (SQL 2012 on Server 2012)SQL issue, can't access the
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or
http://servername/:Reports web pages
The database server has SSRS native mode installed, it is using a domain account for the service credentials. This account also has permission to log on a service in the GPO
Account is a domain admin and is a local administrator
SQL server is 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012. User base is less than 60 people and they have SharePoint 13 on the same SQL server. Server more than enough resources.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks..Dan

Hi DCas1,
According to your description, you could not access
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or http://servername/:Reports web pages from Reporting Services configuration manager, SSRS in configured in native mode and the account you used is a local administrator.
In Reporting Services, URLs are used to access the Report Server Web service and Report Manager. Before we can use either application, we need to configure at least one URL each for the Web service and Report Manager. If we are using the Reporting Services
Configuration tool to create or modify the URLs, we can accept the default values for a URL or specify custom values. When we create a report server URL, we must specify the following parts: Host name, port and Virtual directory. In order to improve the efficiency
of troubleshooting, I need to ask several questions:
Since the default URL is http://<computername>/reportserver, did you type the URLs manually? or the URLs configured in Reporting Services configuration manager are
http://servername/:80/ReportServer and
http://servername/:Reports?
Could you provide detailed information of error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles)?
For more information about Configuring a URL, please refer to the following documents:

Sharepoint 2007 using sql server 2012 database server

We still have an old SharePoint 2007 farm that runs on SQL Server 2008 and Reporting Services 2008. I would like to migrate this app over to SQL Server 2012. From what I gather SharePoint 2007 supports SQL 2012 if you are running WSS service pack 3 and
SharePoint server service pack 3 I am already on SP3. So my question is who all here is running SharePoint 2007 on SQL 2012 and have you had any problems?

Yes I have an environment that is SPS 2007 wSP3 and SQL Server 2012, and have been doing this for 2 months. So far, no problems. There have been issies with User Profile services, but those turned out to be unrelated.
Kind regards,

SQL SERVER 2000 - REPORTING SERVICES DATABASE ?

Hi!
A very basic question, how to know where reporting services points to the database and server ?
miga

For versions above than SQL 2000, you can refer to sql reporting services configuration tool.
For SQL server 2000, reporting services view the database deatils as mentioned in below thread
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/e4263367-600d-4bb1-94e7-6b66e5df295d/how-do-i-find-configuration-details-on-sql-server-2000-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
To find the SQL Server name that host the report server database, please check the server name of the “ReportServerURL” in the RSWebApplication configuration file. The configuration file is located in the following folder:
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportManager
By default, the report server database name is ReportServerDB, and the report server temporary database name is ReportServerTempDB. To check the report server database name the SSRS 2000 uses currently, we can try to join a report server
instance to a Web farm by using different database. If the target database is not validated during the setup, it cannot be the report server database. Besides, we can also expand the tables of the databases; a report server database has different tables with
common databases.

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable. However,
all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting. And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model. Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report.
If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report. This does not seem end user friendly at all!
We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
2+. Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources. So we would have to build the Datasets for them. But in that case, what point is there in creating any
Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

Hi Dan,
Report Builder 1.0
Simple template-based reports
Requires report model
Supports only SQL Server, Oracle, and Analysis Services as data sources
Supports RDL 2005
Bundled in SSRS
Report Builder 2.0 or later
Full-featured reports as the BIDS Report Designer
Doesn't require (but supports) report models
Supports any data source
Supports RDL 2008
Available as a separate web download
In your scenario, you want to use Report Builder 1.0 in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, I am afraid this cannot achieve. Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. It is not available as a separate client apps and is
only available as a click once application.
Report Builder 1.0
Report Builder 3.0
Thank you for your understanding.

SQL Server and Reporting Services

What is the best practice for replicating the same reports for different clients using different databases in the same SQL Server and Reporting Services?
For example:
Create a single database for each client.
Create a single data source in Reporting services for each client.
Create a folder in Reporting Service for each client, and replicate all the report and point each report to its correct data source.
Is there an easier method for this type of solution.

Hi acedenoBI,
According to your description, you have reports which has same structure for each user. Now you want to have a folder for each client to keep their reports. And each client should have a single database and single data source. Right?
In Reporting Service, if we need one data source to connect different database dynamically, we may need to use parameter and create dynamic connection string. However, in this scenario, since we need to have a single folder and data source for each
client, so we can just make copies of the whole project. Modify the Connection string in each data source, change the Initial Catalog to be the corresponding database for the client. This can be an easy way to meet the requirement.

SQL 2012 install fails with 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

Is there a way to convert Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services?

Post Author: Lourdes Hernandez
CA Forum: General
Our department has always worked with and we love Crystal Reports. Unfortunately, certain reports now need to be converted to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services which from what I read I think they are *.rdl reports. Does Crystal reports have any way around this? I would have to learn this other tool when I'm already so happy with Crystal. I was thinking If I could just code the report in crystal and export it in a specific format that would be compatible Microsoft, the problem would be solved.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Post Author: bettername
CA Forum: General
Ditto!
There are some software packages to convert from CR to RS, but none work 100% AFAIK, and will require manual tuning.
Seems like a big hassle and learning curve just to get reports published via another method - I know I'd put up huge resistance if they tried to take my CR away from me!

CPU being used on the LIVE database server

Hi,
I'm seeing a lot of CPU being used on the LIVE database server, primarily by sessions running the following SQL :- As this is for audit log and a developer wrote it how can i optimize it or advise me pls
select * from ( select this_.ID as ID22_0_, this_.EVENT_TIME as EVENT2_22_0_, this_.AUDIT_LOG_EVENT_ID as AUDIT3_22_0_, this_.USER_ID as USER4_22_0_, this_.PUBLIC_OBJECT_ID as PUBLIC5_22_0_, this_.DESCRIPTION as DESCRIPT6_22_0_ from AUDIT_LOG this_ where this_.PUBLIC_OBJECT_ID=:1 order by this_.ID desc ) where rownum <= :2
thanks

It's a Top-N query and can be better written this way:
select this_.ID as ID22_0_, this_.EVENT_TIME as EVENT2_22_0_,
       this_.AUDIT_LOG_EVENT_ID as AUDIT3_22_0_,
       this_.USER_ID as USER4_22_0_, this_.PUBLIC_OBJECT_ID as PUBLIC5_22_0_,
       this_.DESCRIPTION as DESCRIPT6_22_0_
from (select AUDIT_LOG.*, row_number() over (Order by ID desc) rn
          from AUDIT_LOG
     where PUBLIC_OBJECT_ID=:1 ) this_
where rn <= :2I don't know if it will solve your issue...there are so many other variables...

Lync 2013 Error - Certificate could not be published in the database associated with User Services Cluster

Hi Lync gurus,
I have a weird issue:
Just installed a Lync Standard 2013.
Everything works except I keep getting this error in Log: every 30 minute or so.
First an Error: Event 47067
A server did not respond to HTTP request
Server lyncserver.domain.local did not respond to HTTP request PublishCertRequest targeted at
https://lyncserver.domain.local:444/LiveServer/UserPinService.
Cause: Server might be down or the network path between servers might not be properly configured.
Resolution:
Please ensure that the server can be connected on the target port using telnet and then re-try.
Then I get a Warning: Event 47068
GetAndPublish web service failed.
Certificate could not be published in the database associated with User Services Cluster [lyncserver.domain.local ]. Request Details - Entity: [[email protected]], Device Id: [6BB30A3E-2923-553A-8E5F-0B2FB2CEA330], Authenticated User: [sip:[email protected]].
Additional Context: [Publish_Failure: OtherFailure;HttpNoResponse:"lyncserver.domain.local "]
Cause: This could be due to network connectivity issues with the remote server, or because the database is down.
Resolution:
Please ensure that the user services is reachable and the database is up and running.
Thanks for any help

Please check you can telnet port 443 and port 444 on Lync Front End Serve from client.
Try to regenerate a new certificate for Lync Front End Server.
Check all the services on Lync Front End Server are started.
Check the option “Enable all purposes for this certificate” is checked for the trusted root CA certificate.
For the detailed steps:
Run MMC--Add\Remove Snap-ins--certificates--Local Computer--Trusted Root Certificate Authorities--Certificates, find the Root CA certificate you installed--Properties--General, check the "Enable all purposes for this certificate".

Drill-down feature is a basic requirement, it is concluded in Reporting service from SSRS2000 to SSRS2008 R2, To
your scenario I think the root cause is relevant to your incorrect steps. Please follow the steps below and then give the feedback:
1.     Right-click the child groups in the
Row Groups panel which is at the left-bottom of the BIDS, and then select
Group Properties…
2.
Switch to Visibility tab, and then select

Problem with Reporting Services and CRM2011 Online

Hi, this is my issue:
I have two organizations in CRM 2011 Online and I want to create a report with Reporting Services when I create my datasource my connection string is something like this https://organization1.crm.dynamics.com but when I create a dataset with a FetchXML it
retrieve the data from organization2

Hi Diegohdztam,
According to your description, the dataset retrieve data from organization2, other than the organization1 which is already used to create a Data Source. If in this scenario, I think this issue can be caused by the organization2 also create a Data Source in
the report, then you are using it as the Data Source for the Dataset. So please double check the data sources in the report.
Besides, we can try to create a new Data Source with the New button for current Dataset to test the issue again.
The following screenshot is for your reference:|
Hope this helps.
