CF Report Builder RDS Server

I am trying to connec tto my local RDS server but keep
getting teh following error message. Any ideas?
A connection to the RDS Server could not be established because
the webserver was unreachable."

Another developer on my team sent me a report that worked and
I noticed that I had set the Print Order to horizontal when I was
trying to fix another issue. Changed it back to vertical and it
works fine. Not sure why that should have mattered, but it works.

Report Builder RDS setup errors

Although RDS works in Dreamweaver, I can't seem to be able to
setup RDS in report builder. I get the following EM:
"The RDS server was successfully contacted, however the
server does not support validating security credentials"
If this is referring to the RDS password, I'm certain that
I've got it right.
My IIS guys say they have setup IIS as per this technote
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=231ca7fa
Is there anything else I need to look at ???

Try and temporarily turn off Windows Integrated
Authentication.
If it works, double-check to be sure you turned it off for
the CFIDE directory permanently.

Calling Report Builder From Server(aspx page ) With encrypted username and password

Hi ,
Our application needs to have a link to Report Builder which will open a report builder for that current report and user can modify it accordingly.
Currently our approach is to use a client side(JavaScript) url link which is in form as follows
http://username:password@domain/ReportServer_SQLDEVELOPER/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application?/ReportName
But we do not want to show username and password in clear text , SO we have tried to pass it through ajax call and call the url from server or pass username and password in Authorization headers . Unfortunately , this does not serve our purpose and we are
getting Unauthorized in firebug Console .We are using REST Services .Below is screenshot:
This is a kind of blocker issue for us , So any timely help would be highly appreciated.In case of any queries you can contact me at [email protected]
Thanks & Regards

Put the domain in the Intranet Zone instead, and try again. They should not be prompted for auth as long as they log in with cached Domain Creds.

RDS Server timed out in CF Report Builder

I am so frustrated I could scream!!! For some reason, CF
Report Builder is timing out on ALL reports - even ones that I have
previusly created. Whenever I try to access the Report Query, it
times out. Whether I'm trying to edit a previously created query,
or create a new query. I have stopped and started both IIS and RDS
Server numerous times already, and that has not helped at all.
HELP!!! How can I fix this?

Found the answer in one of the old discussions.
Correct syntax is report.functionname(). I was using report.functionname.
Thanks anyway!

ColdFusion Report Builder and RDS connection

I'm trying to build report in CF report builder 8. Under the RDS server connection I have
Description: TEST
HostName: ColdFusionServerHost
Port: 8001
I don't have the RDS PWD.
When I hit Test connections it gives me the following message:
The RDS server was successfully contacted, but your security credentials were invalid...
If I hit OK and go to Query builder I don't see and DB. Is there a way around this....
Any help is appreciated...

Report Builder and RDS

I just installed CF 8.1 Report Builder and attempted to use
it for the first time.
Is it required to have RDS activated on the server in order
to use report Builder?

RDS with Report Builder

RDS with Report Builder does not work automatically. I must
first wake RDS up by doing something like accessing the query in
the Report Builder directly. I'm using CF 7.02, Builder Build
144677 with the latest version of SQL Server 2005 and the SQL
database driver. Ideas to fix or is this a Builder bug?

Good, you're using the default port 80.
Try the following configuration:
Host name: localhost
Port: 80
Do not use SSL
Context Root: (leave blank)
User Name: admin

Do not prompt for password.

SSRS- report builder showing recent sites and server as blank

Hi All,
A client of ours when executes Report builder is not able to see Report models as report builder just gets open but do not create connection to server.
We have done the following settings for same:
Used both name and IP of system and added the same to Trusted Sites in IE settings
Also we have used port number along with URL for report builder.
We have given all rites to user on reporting services (SQL)
But it is still not showing report models.
Kindly help us. It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance
-Regards
Kumud

Hi Kumud,
According to your description, your client can't see the created report models in Report Builder. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why the client can't see the report models because he doen't connect to report server. Please click the
Connect at the left bottom of Report Builder and type the report server url manually to reconnect the report server.
If the connection is failed, please check if there any process on client side which occupies the port for report server URL. Here are two articles for your reference to do troubleshooting.
Report Builder 3.0 error : Connection Failed. Unable to connect to the server that is specified in the URL
Connecting to Report Server
Since the Semantic modeling language (SMDL) report models are deprecated. Although you can you continue to use existing report models as data sources in SQL Server 2012 or later version Reporting Services reports you should consider updating your reports
to remove their dependency on report models.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Need help understanding MS SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0 and user access / priviledges.

Having Problems with connections and access. I have spent the last 2 days reading various threads regarding SQL Reporting Services pertaining to access and connections.
First, let me explain what I have done to date.
1) I am using Windows 7 - Home Premium.
2) I downloaded and installed MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. This was successful.
3) I downloaded Report Server 3.0 - This was successful.
4) In IE, I tried logging onto http://servername/reports, but this failed. After logging into IE
via ' Run Administrator', I was able to access URL.
Next, I updated the security / trust sites as explained in the
threads
Next, I went to Folder Setting and added my user name and granted all roles (Browser,
Content Manager, My
Reports, Publisher and Report Builder).
5) Now, I can log into Http://servername/reports using my normal windows 7 user account.
6) Next, I opened Report Builder 3.0. However, I am having trouble connecting to report
server. I tried connecting with
http://servername/reports, but this failed.
However, If I change URL to http://servername/reportserver, it works. BUT NOW, I have
another problem. When I
execute the RUN button to create report, I get a permission
error. "PERMISSION GRANTED TO USER ARE
INSUFFICIENT FOR PERFORMING THIS OPERATION".
7) Finally, I can not save reports to http://servername/reportserver when I select "Recent
Site and Servers". ERROR
MESSAGE: UNABLE TO OPEN OR SAVE REPORT
8) In my Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Web URL = http://servername:80/ReportServer
Report Manager URL = http://servername:80/reports.
What is strange, the Report Manager URL works for IE URL and WEB URL works for
Report Builder connect (Even though it really does not work).
THREE QUESTIONS:
1) What URL should I use to connect in Report Builder.
2) How do I update my normal Windows 7 user so I can run reports when I connect to report
builder.
3) How can I save my reports so they are displayed in IE Reporting services. Note: I was
able to save report to
documents folder and import into IE Reporting Services.
4) And finally, is it possible to add report builder 3.0 as a tab in my IE Reporting Services. I
save seen samples of Reporting Services screens where the instructor has Report Builder
tab.
Thanks
Dan

To answer question 1... it should connect through /ReportServer
http://bretstateham.com/reporting-services-architecture-diagram%E2%80%A6/
Report Builder 3.0 is not a web application, it is a client side application can be used using the click-once or downloaded from Microsoft's website. If you are having issues, you might download and install it and try running it as an administrator.

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

Report runs in Report Builder but hangs in Report Server

Hi,
I am using Oracle Reports 10g to build a report with many formula columns. Everything was working perfectly till I added some condition in a query in formula columns. After adding it, report is not working in Report Server but runs only in Report Builder. If I removed this condition, report runs OK but I need it. This condition is very simple, just filtering be a decoded column (i.e. stts = 'D')
Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem?

Hi,
what is the application server version you are running your reports on?
If it is 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.2 and you are using PDF SUBSETTING (check the [PDF:Subset] section in the uifont.ali file in your server) then you are most probably facing Bug:5029259 . To resolve the issue read further Doc ID 363868.1 in Oracle Support. In short, your options are:
1. apply patchset 10.1.2.3 or maybe patch 5029259 is enough.
2. or make sure no NULL values are returned in the report. Use nvl where possible. If there was no problem before making the changes then maybe checking the new formula columns would be enough. I made this change myself when facing this issue and it appears that this resolved the problem.
3. or change REPORTS_ENHANCED_SUBSET to NO in windows registry if under windows or $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh if under linux. REPORTS_ENHANCED_SUBSET=YES is necessary if you are using TTF subsetting, though. So this might not be an option.

try like this..
Declare @ta table ([FIELD-1] int, [FIELD-2] nvarchar(100), [FIELD-3] nvarchar(100))
insert into @ta
select 1, 'efgh', 'xjhg[R]ztazutsuz[R]9' union all
select 2, 'abcd', '1234[R]abcd[R]5678'
select t.[FIELD-1],t.[FIELD-2], a.b.value('.','nvarchar(100)') as [FIELD-3] from @ta t
Cross apply
(select cast('<R><C>' + replace(t.[FIELD-3],'[R]','</C><C>')+ '</C></R>' as xml) as XStr ) x
Cross apply x.xstr.nodes('R/C')a(b)

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.
Sree

Report builder error after applying sql server 2008R2 SP3 when click on report builder gives error like 'Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.

Hi All,
I applied SQL server 2008 R2 SP3 recently but report builder doesn't work since then
When click on report builder gives error like 'Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.
and when I try to see details the error summary like following:
+File, Microsfot.ReportingServices.ComponentLibrary.Controls.dll, has a different computed hash than specified in manifest.

Hi nikp11,
According to your description, you recently updated SQL Server 2008 R2 to SP3, Report Builder doesn’t work since then the error occurs: "Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue".
This is an known issue in SSRS 2008 R2 SP3 that Microsoft has published an article addressing this issue. It is not planning to release a fix for this issue. But we could implement one of the following workarounds:
Install and run Report Builder 3.0 of SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM.
Install and run Report Builder of SQL Server 2014.
Uninstall Service Pack 3 then uninstall Service Pack 2 and then reinstall Service Pack 3.
Reference:
Report Builder of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 3 does not launch
Thank you for your understanding.
