I plan to upgrade the SSRS 2005 SP2 enterprise edition in our internal web server to 2005 SP4, the Reporting server database is hosted in another sql server in sql server 2005 SP4. Do I need to do anything on the reporting server database side?

My question is what the steps do I need to take to upgrade SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4. The web server that host the SSRS is in 2005 SP2, and the OS is in window 2003.
Our SSRS report server and report server database are in different servers. The SSRS in the web server is in 2005 SP2 enterprise edition, the report server database is in sql server 2005 SP4 enterprise edition.
To upgrade the SSRS in web server from 2005 sp2 to sp4, do I need to backup/restore the encryption key? Nothing will be changed in the report server database. We will still pointing to the same database in the current server, all
I wanted to do is performing a inplace upgrade of SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.
Any response will be greate appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Lihui Chen,
According to your description, you want to install the Services Pack 4 for SQL Server. Right?
In SQL Server, Services Packs are used for fixing issues of current version product. It's not an Upgrade, you don't have to backup/restore your encryption key. You just need to download the Service Pack 4 on:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM . Please make sure you have administrative rights on the computer to install SQL Server 2005 SP4. For more information, see links below:

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f98c2f3e-1a30-4993-ab41-acbc5014f92e/data-driven-subscription-button-not-displayed?forum=sqlreportingservices
By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database

I have SQL server installed to I can connect to RS using my domain/user account. However, when I try to go to http://<machine_name>/Reports/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx, I get error as
    * The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) Get Online Help
          o Login failed for user '<machine name>\ASPNET'
    * I also noticed that after I installed RS,I do not see reports folder under C:\Inetpub. This folder does not exist, I manually created reports virtual folder in IIS and liked it to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
    * Thsi is obviously permissions issue and I missing something so your help will be really appreciated.
During installation, I always specified user as domain\user.
Thanks

Hi NewToReporting,
From you descriptions, I know you have tow questions: 1.Why the SQL Server Reporting Services does not create virtual directories in the wwwroot? 2. Why the error "A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing" happen? If I have misunderstood, please do not hesitate to let me know.
One of the changes in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 is the removal of the Internet Information Services (IIS) dependency. So, we won't see report server virtual directories in the wwwroot folder.
The second problem is caused by the user '<machine name>\ASPNET' does not have permission to login the SQL Server database "Reports".
To solve the issue, please follow these steps:
1.Open SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager(Start - All Programs - Microsoft SQL Server 2008 - Configuration Tools)
2.Go to "Database" tab.
3.Click "Change Credential"
4.In the coming dialog, fill the textboxes with this information(some textboxes are not modifiable )
Server: <the server name of the report server catalog database>
Authentication Type: Current User - Integrated Security (This will use the user we are login to connect to the database server.)
UserName:(If selecting "Current User - Integrated Security", this textbox is not modifiable. )
Password:(If selecting "Current User - Integrated Security", this textbox is not modifiable. )
5. Click Next
6.In the coming dialog, configure the following information:
Authentication Type: Service Credential(This will use the user the reporting services running under to connect to the report server catalog database. The user is the one we configured in "Service Account" tab)
UserName:(If selecting "Service Credential", this textbox is not modifiable. )
Password:(If selecting "Service Credential", this textbox is not modifiable. )
7.Click Next to confirm the information.
8.Click Next to apply.
This will auto add the user '<machine name>\ASPNET' to login group, set this user to be the owner of report server catalog database, and also give this user "RSExce" role.
Now, we are able to connect to the report server.
For more information, please see:

Kindly , help me
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
Based on the error message "An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database." it seems the issue is caused by the Report Server catalog databases are
corrupted.
To fix this issue, I suggest that you use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to recreate the Report Server catalog databases. In addition, please make sure report server instance can connect to the report server database. For more details about Configure
a Report Server Database Connection (SSRS Configuration Manager), please see the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms159133.aspx
Besides, if the issue is caused by the connection to the SQL Server Reporting Services Report Server catalog database is timeout. Please refer to the following thread:

If the problem is still existed, I would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.

From report server database how to know reporting services server

from report server database how to know reporting services server
Thanks

Hi Ajay,
If I understand correctly, you want to know
Reporting Services server name based on report server database. Based on my research, I find that the Reporting Services server name is the computer name which install the report server. So we can try to click Start button, right-clicking Computer,
and then clicking Properties. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, you can find your computer name.
Besides, the report server database is a SQL Server database that stores the following content:
Items, Subscription and schedule definitions, Report snapshots and report history, System properties and system-level security settings, Report execution log data, Symmetric keys and encrypted connection and credentials for report data sources.
For more information about report
server database, please refer to the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156016.aspx
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Configure logshipping for report server database

Hi All,
Could some one please let me know the steps to be followed to configure logshipping for report server databases.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards, Kranthi

Hi Kranthi,
Based on my understanding, you want to know how to change the roles between primary server and secondary server when primary server goes down. Also you want to know when you should install reporting service on secondary to make sure reporting service could
be used by application team.
When primary server goes down, you should manually fail over to the secondary server and make it your new primary server. Before changing roles between primary server and secondary server, you should initial role change. For more information, please refer
to this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178117.aspx.
Besides, considering lots of time of reporting service installation and downtime during failover, I recommend you to install reporting service on secondary before configuring log shipping. When application team want to use reporting service with reportserver
database after you performing fail over to the secondary server, you can follow bellow steps to reset the database which will be used by reporting service:
Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager\Database.
Click Change database in the Current Report Server Database section.
On Action page, check Choose an existing report server database box. Click Next.
On Database Server page, type the secondary sever name then connect to it. Click Next.
On Database page, select the reportserver database from the drop-down menu of Report Server Database. Click Next.
Set the credentials, then click Finish on Progress and Finish page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Reporting Services will not automatically use a different replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue

Reporting Services offers limited support for using AlwaysOn Availability Groups with report server databases. The report server databases can be configured in AG to be part of a replica; however Reporting Services will not automatically use a different
replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue? is there any workaround for that..
Rahul

Hi.
With the AlwaysOn listener you should have a single DNS name to connect to regardless of which cluster node is active. Are you using the listener service? If not, please refer to the link below.

Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ?

Hi All,
I just would like to know Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ? We have SCOM tool which has that capability but there are some drawbacks in that for which we are not able to utilise that. So i would like
to know is this possible using powershell.
So if there is any number above 303 in the .CSV file then i need a email alert / notification for the same.
Gautam.75801

Hi Jrv,
Thank you very much. I modified the above and it worked.
Import-Csv C:\SCOM_Tasks\GCC2010Capacitymanagement\CapacityMgntData.csv | ?{$_.Mailboxes -gt 303} | Export-csv -path C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv;
Send-MailMessage -Attachments "C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv" -To “[email protected]" -From “abc@xyz" -SMTPServer [email protected] -Subject “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases” -Body “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases"
Mailboxex - is the line which i want to monitor if the values there are above 303. And it will extract the lines with all above 303 to another CSV file and 2nd is a mail script to email me the same with the attachment of the 2nd extract.

In Yosemite Mail, there is an issue where the signatures no longer toggle as in the past. If you change the existing signature, it just adds the new one vs replacing it within the body of the message. Thoughts?

In Yosemite Mail, there is an issue where the signatures no longer toggle as in the past. If you change the existing signature, it just adds the new one vs replacing it within the body of the message. Thoughts?

Hi howe.sc,
When I checked for how signatures in Yosemite work, I found this.
Mail (Yosemite): Include signatures in messages
Delete a signature from a message: Select the signature, then press the Delete key.
Replace a signature in a message: Delete the existing signature, then add a different signature.
That sounds similar to what you are describing.
Take care,

In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created??

In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created with

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

HT201342 I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this?

I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this? I'm starting a new business and I've not really used my iCloud email address, I'd like to change the name to the business name. Can I do this? If so, how?

You can't change an iCloud email address. You can create an alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, but it will still be an @icloud.com address. If you want to do this, this article explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Note: once you create an alias address, you can't use it to create a new iCloud account, move it to another account, of reactivate it should you ever delete it.
You should also be aware that iCloud is designed for personal rather than business use, and as such, there are limits place on iCloud email accounts as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4863.

Crystal Report Server Database Log File Growth Out Of Control?

We are hosting Crystal Report Server 11.5 on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise. Our Crystal Report Server SQL 2005 database file size = 6,272 KB, and the log file that goes with the database has a size = 23,839,552.
I have been reviewing the Application Logs and this log file size is auto-increasing about 3-times a week.
We backup the database each night, and run maintenance routines to Check Database Integrity, re-organize index, rebuild index, update statistics, and backup the database.
Is it "Normal" to have such a large LOG file compared to the DATABASE file?
Can you tell me if there is a recommended way to SHRINK the log file?
Some Technical Documents suggest frist truncating the log, and the using the DBCC SHRINKFILE command:
USE CRS
GO
--Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE
ALTER DATABASE CRS
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
--Shrink the truncated log file to 1 gigabyte
DBCC SHRINKFILE (CRS_log, 1000);
GO
--Reset the database recovery model.
ALTER DATABASE CRS
SET RECOVERY FULL;
GO
Do you think this approach would help?
Do you think this approach would cause any problems?

my bad you didn't put the K on the 2nd number.
Looking at my SQL server that's crazy big my logs are in the k's like 4-8.
I think someone enabled some type of debugging on your SQL server, it's more of a Microsoft issue, as our product doesn't require it from looking at my SQL DB's

An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database

Hello
We just had this error today. We did not do ANY changes to our existing ReportServer database neither to our reports.
Our infrastructure - we have sharepoint 2010 and sql server 2008 r2 with reporting services installed.
I confirmed the following:
-->Disk space on database server OK:
-->ReportServer database not corrupted - I restored the database to my test server and ran DBCC CheckDB.
I am now looking at the Activity Monitor and have noticed that several SPID executed by the ReportServer database are blocked by a SPID executed by the ReportServerTempDB.
Would blocking be a possible cause to this problem?
Thank you all in advance
