Can a 2008 Reporting Server Connect to a 2012 SQL Database

The current report server and database server are both SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.  We have a 2012 SQL Server that we will be migrating the database to so my question is, will there be any problems connecting to the 2012 SQL Sever database from a
2008 Report Server?  We will be moving the report server to 2012 eventually but not anytime soon.  Any feedback would be appreciated.  Thank you.

It seems to be working fine provided if you keep the compatibility level to 100.
Refer this link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156016.aspx
 The schema of the report server database must be compatible with the report server instance. If the database is in an older format,
you will be prompted to upgrade it to the current format. Newer versions cannot be down graded to an older version. If you have a newer report server database, you cannot use it with an earlier version of a report server instances

  • Can 2008 reporting services read data from 2012 sql server

    Will 2008 SSRS be able to retrieve data / speak

  • Need To Trace Reports Server Connection to Database

    Hi,
    A customer is getting intermittent "Unable to connect to database" errors when running Oracle Reports.
    We have tried teaking the Reports server's configuration, but the errors are still occuring.
    I know how to set up a trace on the Reports server, but wonder how best to trace the server's connection/attempted connection to the database.
    Is it possible to trace attempted connections?
    Database is 9i 9.2.0.6, Reports server is OracleAS 10g 9.0.4.2.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Jim

    There is a parameter SQL_TRACE which you can turn on and it will start tracing all the sessions at database level which is not preferred way. You need to enable the trace for only report server sessions for troubleshooting and you can do this by enabling the trace in specific sessions. You can do something like this:
    Connect to database using report server
    On the server identify the sessions belongs to report server connection
    Enable the tracing for those sessions by using:
    SQL> exec dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(SID,SERIAL#,true);
    You can find the SID and SERIAL# (if your report server session) in V$SESSION view in database.
    Then find the trace files in path defined user_dump_dest parameter. After getting the trace file use TKPROF to parse it. Just type at command prompt:
    tkprof abc.trc abc.txt
    It will convert the trace file into readable format.
    Best Of Luck.

  • Can't start reports server on Windows Server 2003 SP1 Error code 13

    Hi,
    This morning I figured how to start the rwserver using the command, rwserver server = repsrv. This works using XP pro physical machine but now I am trying to perform the same task on a Windows 2003 virtual machine.
    I have used the line:
    rwserver -install repsrv.
    To add repserv to the list of available services in computer management. This has appeared as an avaiable service and so I click to start it, unfortunately every time I do I get the error message:
    "Windows could not start the OracleOraAppServer10g_home1Reports [repsrv] on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 133."
    I am assuming this is a security issue with Windows 2003 but I can't find a cure anywhere.
    Thanks in advance for any help that anybody is able to provide
    Cheers
    Daniel

    Hello,
    Step 1) Check that you can start the reports server from a "DOS Window" :
    rwserver server=repserver
    Step 2) Check the PATH set for rwserver.exe when it is running as a service
    Some sysinternals utilities like Process Explorer / filemon may help :

  • Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs ?

    Hi all,
    Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT from Forms ?
    I have reviewed note 72531.1 about using this feature and wonder if i can use this metadata to retrieve past jobs submitted by a user.
    The idea would be to have a form module that can filter data from the rw_server_queue table, say, base on user running the form, and be able to retrieve past jobs from Report Server Queue. For this, one would query this table and use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
    Is this possible ...?
    Regards, Luis ...!

    Based on that metalink note and the code in the script rw_server.sql, I am pretty sure that by querying the table you would be able accomplish what you want... I have not tested it myself... but it looks that it will work... you have the jobid available from the queue, so you can use web.show_document to retrieve the output previously generated...
    ref:
    -- Constants for p_status_code and status_code in rw_server_queue table (same as zrcct_jstype)
    UNKNOWN CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 0; -- no such job

  • SSRS 2005 why some users can't access report server.

    There is one user who can't access report server by clicking a link to a report. A window will pop up asking for login. Even he enters login, the window will keep coming back. I have set the user for that report and assigned the 'Browser' role to the user.
    Other users don't have this problem. E.g. for another user I also set him up for the report and assigned 'Browser' role but he can access the same report no problem.

    Hi thotwielder,
    As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the following two reasons:
    The report server can be blocked by Firewall. If Windows Firewall is turned on, the port that the report server is configured to use is most likely closed. Indications that a port might be closed are the appearance of a blank Web page after requesting a
    report, or a blank page when you attempt to open Report Manager from a remote client computer. In this scenario, we can try to open port 80 in Windows Firewall on both report server and client computers.
    The report server can be blocked by browser. We should ass the report server URL to trusted site in the browser.
    We can also grant the user access to site-wide operations with system-level row in report manager to check the issue again.
    Please double-check we have been grand the user the browser role on the report. We can navigate to Security property of the report to check the issue.
    Reference:
    Configure a Firewall for Report Server Access
    Configure a Native Mode Report Server for Local Administration (SSRS)
    Grant User Access to a Report Server (Report Manager)

  • Report created in SSRS 2008 is not able to upload in 2008 report server

    I have created a report in SSRS 2008 version. Our reporting server is 2008 R2. I'm getting the error given below while uploading the .rdl file to report server. 
    The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded. 
    Then I've checked the code of the solution and it is created in 2008. It is given below:
    " Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00 # Visual Studio 2008 ........."
    Also, I've checked the code of .rdl file but that made me confused. It shows that the file is created in 2010.

    Visual studio 2010 is also installed in my system. Also, I have noticed that even if we try to open a report then by default it is showing data tools option.I have tried multiple times to create report in 2008. But, still the same result. Also, I could find
    that ,the report will be in 2008 till the creation of data source. The report will be converted to 2010 after creating data set. I have been creating shared dataset and I was getting the above issue.Then I have tried by not creating a shared dataset and
    directly creating dataset in the report data and it has been created as 2008 report. I was able to upload this report to report server 2008R2. 
    Can any of you help me to find why the report is created in 2010 while creating shared dataset?

    I have created a report in SSRS 2008 version. Our reporting server is 2008 R2. .

    Hello Julie,
    You mix up Version of Visual Studio, Reporting Services and Report Definition; all those products have Independent Version numbers and are not related to each other.
    Important are the Versions of used SSRS and BIDS, the plugin for Visual Studio. By the Version of Report Definiton you have create a Report with BIDS 2008R2 or SSDT = SQL Server Data Tools; see
    http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition/
    Are you sure you have SSRS 2008 R2 (in post subject you wrote SSRS
    2008)? If it's SSRS 2008 then you really can't deploy the Report to SSRS, you would have to use BIDS 2008 to create the report. Check the Version of SSRS or use "Report Builder 2.0", you can start it directly from "Report Manager"
    URL.

    Hi rmccabe82,
    Generally, “actively refused it" means that the host sent a reset instead of an acknowledge when you tried to connect. As per my understanding, the issue can be caused by the process that is hosting the service is not listening on that port, this may be
    because it is not running at all or because it is listening on a different port. Please try to ping ‘netstat –anb’ (requires admin privileges) to verify that it is running and listening on the expected port.
    Furthermore, please make sure the user has permissions to access the report server.

  • Financial Reporting Web Server can't find report server.

    Hi all,
    I've installed Financial reporting print server, report server, and scheduler on a separate server from the Web Server installed with Workspace. I can create and run a report with FR Studio and have saved it to the Workspace server.
    When I run the report on the Workspace server I get the following error:
    Your Financial Reporting Web Server is unable to locate the report server server1.na.ds.monsanto.com:8299. Please contact your administrator.
    (5514)
    I have the same configuration on two other servers and things are working fine. How do I tell the Web Server (server1) where the report server is. Why is it looking on the server1 server?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your responses.
    I've run the configuration utility on the server where I have installed the report server and compared it to the report server that works. I looks like logically I have things set up correctly.
    The "Configure Financial Reporting" asks me where the "Workspace Web Application" is and that is set correctly and is working because I can get into studio and connect to the report server it lets me design and run and save the report. Studio saves the report to the correct workspace server so I know FR knows about the workspace server.
    I ran the config utility on the Workspace web server and selected "Configure Web Server". The second screen lists all of the components and "Financial Reporting" is one of the components. This is also set up logically identically to the server pair that is working. All of the components are set up on the web server to point at the web server.
    So I still don't understand how to tell workspace to look at the report server. The report server is finding the workspaces web server just fine.
    All services are up and running.

  • "Safari can't find the server" - connection issues under Lion

    Hi there,
    Since upgrading to Lion, Safari has been displaying this odd and annoying behaviour, where, for some links to some web resources (like maybe 2 clicked links out of 10), it throws up a grey error page telling me it can't find the server (screenshot below):
    Normally, this error would be evidience of an intenet connection issue (but it isn't). If I immediately try to find the same resource via another browser (Firefox or Chrome), those other browsers navigate to the site absolutely fine. Although, occasionally (though with less frequency) I'm also getting a similar "Can't find stuff" error with Chrome too.
    In the Safari address bar (is this significant?) there isn't even a URL, but a file path to file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources... what does that mean?
    Hints from other threads would indicate that this is a Firewall issue, or maybe there's another third-party app causing problem, rather than a problem with Safari under Lion specifically.
    But I'm really bugged and irrittate by this. Anyone had a similar experience? Anyone with any ideas? How might I go about finding out what's causing this and fixing it? 
    Best wishes,

    It's most likely a problem with corrupted files in the Safari Cache or corrupted cookies.
    Go to Safari menu bar
    Click on Safari
    Click "Empty Cache"
    Restart Safari
    If the problem persists...
    Go to Safari -> Preferences
    Go to privacy
    Click "Remove All Website Data"
    Restart Safari

  • Can't start Report Server

    Dear all,
    I have an envirnment that have Both of the Database (11g) and the Application Server (10gR2) are installed in the same machine. i installed only forms and reports components from the application server and the forms are working well through the web. my problem is that i can't make the in process report server up and runing as it's alwlyes dowen and when i chose it from the web and choose start, the job finished but it still down.
    in addition to that i failled to use the comand RWSERVER to create new report server and aloyes the message "Consult the installtion guide for how set up an run this program, so, how can i make the report server up and running as my reports not working.
    Thanks,

    The EM Console is not the best way to find out if your reports server is up and running, I sugest you use the command rwdiag -findall it will show you the reports servers up in your server, as well if you want to create a new reports server, you have to use *$ORACLE_HOME/bin/addnewservertarget.sh new_servername* as well this command will create an entry in opmn.xml in a way that you can check the status of this using opmnctl status command.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't login to server after upgrading to 2012 R2 from 2008 R2.

    I upgraded my Server 2008 R2 server to Server 2012 R2 standard.  I am at the login screen.  I press control + alt + del and select the Administrator account (as usual).  I enter my password and press enter.  The screen turn black
    and flickers, and then returns to the control + alt +delete screen.  No matter how many times I attempt to login, it doesn't work.  If I reboot the server, it rolls back to 2008 R2.
    What can I do to get past this issue?

    Hi Smidley,
    In addition, I also recommend you can follow this article to perform the upgrade and feedback.
    Note: you need to evaluate if software installed on your Windows Server 2008 R2 is compatible and supported on Windows Server 2012/2012R2. When you find any incompaticle software you need to upgrade or uninstall.
    Windows Server 2008R2 in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2012/2012R2
