Concatenaion of Datasets.

I have two data sets.
as I represented in below figure.
http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/4552/required.jpg
There is a 'product' (string) in first data set and it should be joined to 'item' in second dataset and put together in a single table.
I succeeded in that by using variable.
But, There are multiple entries for same product number in first data set , I need the amount column to be summed up into a single cell in final report.
There is a single entry for each item in second dataset.
I am unable to achive this. My Output is this way- http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/8194/obtained.jpg
I implemented repeated group concept, but it is showing me error.(Array out of Bound )

Hi ,
In your final report also use the dataset1...
Create the 3rd column and based on the conditional format..print the value if the variable..
If the product is 100 print the item value....
Thanks,
Ananth

Open and Close Dataset problem

Hi All,
I am facing a weird problem in transferring data to application server.
I have used Open dataset to write my file in text format to the application server.
Now everything works fine when small amount of data is there.When the number of records increases and when it takes lot of time , the format of the text file is completely distorted.
I have used tab as the delimiter. Please suggest me some solution for this.
Is this due to the time taken?
Regards.

How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
The report has no tables.
So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
      public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
         : base(reportFileName)
public override void Process()
         DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
         Table table = new Table();
         string tabelName = "Table140";
         table.Name = tabelName;
         table.Alias = tabelName;
         table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
         table.Description = tabelName;
         var fields = new Fields();
         var dbField = new DBField();
         var fieldName = "ID";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         dbField = new DBField();
         fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         // More code for more tables to add.
         table.DataFields = fields;
         //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
         //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
         //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
         //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
         // Here an error occurs.
         databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
         ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
         //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
         //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
   internal abstract class Worker
      private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
      private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
      private string _ReportFileName;
      public Worker(string reportFileName)
         _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
         _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
         // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
         _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
         // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
         _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
      public string ReportFileName
         get
            return _ReportFileName;
      public ReportDocument ReportDoc
         get
            return _ReportDoc;
      public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
         get
            return _ClientDoc;
But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

Hi,
Have a look at the snippet code below written for version 9 that you might accommodate to CR 2008, it demonstrates how to create a report based on a DataSet programmatically.

Hello Mudassar,
In SQL Server / T-SQL we don't have a native JSON support, so you would have to implement a solution on your own = parsing the string and remove the "Key" + it's value.

Possibility to edit datasets, when there is already a maintenance view?

Hello again,
is it right that I can modify datasets even when there exists a generated maintenance view for the table?
It was usual for me, that in the transaction SE16 don't allow that.
Thank you for your answers!
Melanie

Depends on the setting for "delivery and maintenance" in SE11, should be set to "allowed with restrictions" for the underlying tables of the view. Also check the very good F1 help for this field.

SSRS - Is there a multi thread safe way of displaying information from a DataSet in a Report Header?

In order to dynamically display data in the Report Header based in the current record of the Dataset, we started using Shared Variables, we initially used ReportItems!SomeTextbox.Value, but we noticed that when SomeTextbox was not rendered in the body
(usually because a comment section grow to occupy most of the page if not more than one page), then the ReportItem printed a blank/null value.
So, a method was defined in the Code section of the report that would set the value to the shared variable:
public shared Params as String
public shared Function SetValues(Param as String ) as String
Params = Param
Return Params
End Function
Which would be called in the detail section of the tablix, then in the header a textbox would hold the following expression:
=Code.Params
This worked beautifully since, it now didn't mattered that the body section didn't had the SetValues call, the variable persited and the Header displayed the correct value. Our problem now is that when the report is being called in different threads with
different data, the variable being shared/static gets modified by all the reports being run at the same time.
So far I've tried several things:
- The variables need to be shared, otherwise the value set in the Body can't be seen by the header.
- Using Hashtables behaves exactly like the ReportItem option.
- Using a C# DLL with non static variables to take care of this, didn't work because apparently when the DLL is being called by the Body generates a different instance of the DLL than when it's called from the header.
So is there a way to deal with this issue in a multi thread safe way?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Angel,
Per my understanding that you want to dynamic display the group data in the report header, you have set page break based on the group, so when click to the next page, the report hearder will change according to the value in the group, when you are using
the shared variables you got the multiple thread safe problem, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, according to the multiple safe problem the better way is to use the harshtable behaves in the custom code, you have mentioned that you have tryied touse the harshtable but finally got
the same result as using the ReportItem!TextBox.Value, the problem can be cuased by the logic of the code that not works fine.
Please reference to the custom code below which works fine and can get all the expect value display on every page:
Shared ht As System.Collections.Hashtable = New System.Collections.Hashtable
Public Function SetGroupHeader( ByVal group As Object _
,ByRef groupName As String _
,ByRef userID As String) As String
Dim key As String = groupName & userID
If Not group Is Nothing Then
Dim g As String = CType(group, String)
If Not (ht.ContainsKey(key)) Then
' must be the first pass so set the current group to group
ht.Add(key, g)
Else
If Not (ht(key).Equals(g)) Then
ht(key) = g
End If
End If
End If
Return ht(key)
End Function
Using this exprssion in the textbox of the reportheader:
=Code.SetGroupHeader(ReportItems!Language.Value,"GroupName", User!UserID)

SSRS Dataset Filter expression query

I have an SSRS report which has a simple dataset and accepts two date parameters, and filters the results based on a Position parameter. The Position parameter filter is:
Expression: Position
Operator: In
Value: [@Position]
I have now been told that each position has a few other aliases in the database against the Position column. i.e. For a Position of "Contractor" I now also need to return "Consultant" records, based on the same field. Note, only one Position
can be selected at a time.
I imagine I have to update the Value expression above to do something like:
- When @Position in "Contractor" also return rows where Position is x, y, z (I am happy to hard code these)
I have about 10 Positions each with one or more aliases - can someone help guide me on how to set up the expression?
Thanks!

Thanks Ione.
Ok - I have set my parameter values in the value box, comma separated
My dataset filter for the param Operator is set to IN and the value [@Position]
However where I have multiple values set against a position I do not get any results (there is data in the DB)
Do I need to do something different when setting the paramter values? i.e. use the expression and then a function to parse the comman separted values
Or - something in the Filter to make the expression parse the incoming paramter?
Thanks again

SSRS Chart group dataset by Year (series groups)/Month (category groups) force intervals to start at JAN?

Hi all,
trying to figure this out in REPORT BUILDER, but I guess I can go to VS if needed...
I've got a data set that says "sales" and its basically order summarycontaining:
id, dateplaced, and other stuff...
I want to use this dataset to show trendline for annual qty of orders
created line chart with "countDistinct(id)" as the series for X
category groups = groupby "=Month(dateplaced)" and label "=MonthName(Month(dateplaced)"
series groups = group by "=Year(dateplaced)" and label the same.
I think this is working as intended, please correct if not.
The PROBLEM I'm seeing is that since my dataset returns data starting around september so my "axis" starts in september... I really would prefer it starts at Jan and ends in December... I can't see any way to do this...
The only things I could think of are;
put fake data in dataset that returns "empty" values for jan in the first year of data...
change the query completely to make sure tehre are "year" "month" groupings... somehow...
but both of these approaches seem to be "hacky" and not very maintainable or clear...
Help!

Hi noJedi,
According to your description, you want to you have the category group in your chart always start from January. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we set category group, the records will sort by the sequence of data in database by default. However, we can apply expression in
Sorting so that those records can sort by the month. We have tested your scenario in our local environment, here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
1. Create a chart and put the corresponding expression into category and series group.
2. Right click on category group. Go to Sorting tab. Put the expression below into sorting expression.
3. Save and preview. The result looks like below:
Reference:
Sort Data in a Data Region (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Creation of data packages due to large amount of datasets leads to problems

Hi Experts,
We have build our own generic extractor.
When data packages (due to large amount of datasets) are created, different problems occur.
For example:
Datasets are now doubled and appear twice, one time in package one and a second time in package two. Since those datsets are not identical, information are lost while uploading those datasets to an ODS or Cube.
What can I do? SAP will not help due to generic datasource.
Any suggestion?
BR,
Thorsten

Hi All,
Thanks a million for your help.
My conclusion from your answers are the following.
a) Since the ODS is Standard - within transformation no datasets are deleted but aggregated.
b) Uploading a huge amount of datasets is possible in two ways:
b1) with selction criteria in InfoPackage and several uploads
b2) without selction criteria in InfoPackage and therefore an automatic split of datasets in data packages
c) both ways should have the same result within the ODS
Ok. Thanks for that.
So far I have only checked the data within PSA. In PSA number of datasets are not equal for variant b1 and b2.
Guess this is normal technical behaviour of BI.
I am fine when results in ODS are the same for b1 and b2.
Have a nice day.
BR,
Thorsten

Reporting Services - All Datasets Broken

Hello there.
We’re having some problems with Reporting Services on a prod site and I was hoping someone might be able to offer a suggestion.
Here are the facts :
We have a SP Server 2010 (not foundation) farm which uses Reporting Services. There is 1 web / application server and 1 SQL server. Reporting Services 2008 R2 is installed on the SQL box.
Sometime in the last 2 weeks the reports all stopped working (last known report run 2 weeks ago). This was picked up yesterday. I'm not aware of anything being manually changed in the farm to cause this.
The reports report directly on SP lists using datasets with SharePoint data connections. There is one dataset per list.
The SQL / Reporting Services box has previously had SP installed on it (Ouch! Inherited system – not sure why SP was installed on SQL box).
A few weeks ago we stopped all SP services on the SQL box but did not uninstall SP from it. This did not affect reporting at the time.
When a report fails, we see this message in the UI :
Looking in the reporting services log messages are like the following, one per dataset :
Query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. ---> System.ArgumentException: Feature '22d91f57-00d1-4e0b-9c04-863a82deaa07' for list template '10001' is not installed in this farm.
The operation could not be completed.
This happens for all datasets for all reports. All datasets are complaining that the feature for the list the data set uses is missing. These are features with list definitions / instances for the lists used in the reports.
The initial thought was that someone had renamed a field or similar, but this would only impact that one dataset. What we are seeing is that
all datasets simultaneously broke.
The features Reporting Services are complaining about are indeed activated in SP in the relevant webs.
On the SQL box the folders for the features Reporting Services are complaining about are not present in the 14 hive at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES, but then as far as I know they never were. On
our dev environment we deleted these feature folders but this didn't reproduce the same error.
We modified an unrelated SP list view yesterday via the SP UI. It’s unlikely but I wonder if there is some kind of list definition XML / voodoo behind the scenes that was interrupted by this.
If you open the broken report in Report Builder directly from SP (via the list context menu), you can run the datasets OK, and do a test connection for the data source - but if you run the report itself you get the usual error. If I use Report Builder on
my local machine to try to save to the web where the reports are stored, I get one of the “feature…is not installed in this farm” errors. I can’t even browse to that web in Report Builder without getting the error.
Things I've tried so far (my infrastructure experience amounts to restart things until they work):
App pool recycle web server.
IISReset web server.
Restart reporting service on SQL box.
Delete the view I thought might have been somehow related.
In summary I have no idea what the root cause is here or what has changed recently. I’m a
programmer and someone else who is no longer available set up this environment so I’m a bit stuck!
Thanks for reading.
Lee

We've resolved this.
It turns out the features it was complaining about really were missing on the Reporting Services box and needed to be present. I wrongly concluded this wasn't the problem initially when we deleted these features on a dev box, restarted a few things and reports
didn't break. I guess something was still being cached somewhere.
Best guess as to why the features went away is that when we disabled all of the SP services on the reporting services box via Central Admin, one of these (probably SharePoint Foundation Web Application), all custom features / solutions were removed
from the box.
Moral of the story I think is make sure your reporting services box is a valid part of the SP farm and has all required features present.
Cheers

Error running reports from Crystal Server XI R2 with datasets

Hi, sorry if my english is not good. I'm from Spain.
I have a problem. I'm programming with Visual Basic .NET 2008.
I'm using Crystal Reports Server and programming under Visual Basic to take reports from crystal Server, changing the tables from the report to datasets and scheduling this report.
Crystal server change connections to CrystalReports.Dataset.
Preview reports from server sends me an error "DataBase connector unknown"
If I run this report (with datasets) into my VBNET application (into a CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control), IT WORKS!!!
I need help because I need to schedule these reports (to send them by email, export to PDF formats, ...)

Reporting off of a dataset is reporting off of a disconnected datasource. The reason your application works is beacuse you most likely populating a dataset in your application and passing it to the report at the same time. When scheduling, there is no interaction with the report so unless the report is using an xml file on disk as its datasource, how can it retrieve data?
To get around this, you can build a dll (.net data provider) that returns either a dataset or datatable and point your report to this dll. this way, when the report is executed, it loads the dll which fetches the data for you.
- so the first step is to compile a dll that returns a dataset or datatable.
- to design your report off of this dll open the database expert and create a new ADO.NET connection.
- in the File Path area, click the ellipsis ("...") button to browse to your dll and make sure the selected File Type is ".Net DataSet Provider".
- once the dll is selected, you can choose the dataset/table returned by the dll.
If your method in the dll is parameterized, it will add a parameter to the report (similar to stored procedure parameters.
note: the location of your dll must be in the same path on the CR Server as it was when you designed your report in order for it to be loaded correctly. I usually put the dll in a folder that I know will exist on both machines.

Multiple data sets: a common global dataset and per/report data sets

Is there a way to have a common dataset included in an actual report data set?
Case:
For one project I have about 70 different letters, each letter being a report in Bi Publisher, each one of them having its own dataset(s).
However all of these letters share a common standardized reference block (e.g. the user, his email address, his phone number, etc), this common reference block comes from a common dataset.
The layout of the reference block is done by including a sub-llayout (rtf-file).
The SQL query for getting the dataset of the reference block is always the same, and, for now, is included in each of the 70 reports.
Ths makes maintenance of this reference block very hard, because each of the 70 reports must be adapted when changes to the reference block/dataset are made.
Is there a better way to handle this? Can I include a shared dataset that I would define and maintain only once, in each single report definition?

Hi,
The use of the subtemplate for the centrally managed layout, is ok.
However I would like to be able to do the same thing for the datasets in the reports:
one centrally managed data set (definition) for the common dataset, which is dynamic!, and in our case, a rather complex query
and
datasets defined on a per report basis
It would be nice if we could do a kind of 'include dataset from another report' when defining the datasets for a report.
Of course, this included dataset is executed within each individual report.
This possibility would make the maintenance of this one central query easier than when we have to maintain this query in each of the 70 reports over and over again.

How do I use FILE_GET_NAME and make my resulting dataset name unique?

Okay, here's a case where I have a bunch of pieces to the puzzle -- a little knowledge here, a little knowledge there -- but I'm having trouble putting them together.
I am working on an RFC that is called by XI as part of an interface. This interface will execute every 15 minutes. As part of the RFC's execution (which is very simple and straight-forward) I would like to write out a dataset of the processing results. I have already learned how to use the OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER, and CLOSE DATASET commands, so I'm good to go there.
Here's what I'd like to do: Because this can run every 15 minutes, I don't want to keep overwriting my dataset file with the latest version. I'd like to keep the dataset name unique so it doesn't happen. Obviously, the first thought that comes to mind is adding a date/time stamp to the file name, but I'm not sure how -- or the best way -- to do this.
Also, I was told I should put the file -- for now -- into the DIR_DATA directory. I had no idea what this meant until I was told about t-code "FILE" and that this was the logical file name. Someone in-house thought I'd need to use a function called FILE_GET_NAME to make things easier.
Okay, so I need to use FILE_GET_NAME apparently, somehow plugging in DIR_DATA as the directory I need, and I want the resulting file name to have the date/time added at run time. I'm thinking when it comes to batch processing and writing out datasets, this has to be something that someone's already "paved the road" doing. Has anyone done this? Do you have a little slice of code doing just this that you could post? This would go a long way toward helping me understand how this "fits" together, and I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
As always, points awarded to all helpful answers. Thank you so much!

hey,
here is the brief description of logical & physical path.
in the physical path, we will give total path of the file,where the file is located actually in the server.
for example : /INT/D01/IN/MYFILE.
this is the physical path in my client for a particular file.
some times this have problems like D01 above in the path,
is development system. if we move to quality, it will be Q01 etc..
to make every file independent of the server location, we use logical path concept, which is nothing but, instead of giving the total physical path like above,we will give this logical path & file name. before that we will create a logical path in sap & assign some physical path to it.
the below function module is used to get the actual physical path by giving the logical path name & file name
*&      Form GET_PHYSICAL_PATH
      text This form used to get the Physical Filepath by giving the Logical path & the File name.

How do I use a shared data source in my dataset in this new UI?

I'm new to SSRS 2012 and am having trouble with the UI. All of my experience is with SSRS 2005, and this is quite different.
So I created a shared data source in my new project. Next I added a report (non-wizard, I'm going for hand-crafted). Looking at the UI I have a report data window on the left side of VS 2010, and in it are a couple of menus and a tree navigation pane. If I
select the new menu, and then dataset (since I want to add the data to my report first) I get the Dataset property window. After selecting 'Use a dataset embedded in my report' a new panel is displayed where I can set up a new dataset. But from what I see
here all I can do is create a new data source, but I want to use my shared datasource. I would think it would just be in the data source drop down presented, but that is empty (I had an image that illustrated all this but I keep being told I need to 'verify
my account', and after doing so I'm still getting that error... oh well, I don't have enough time to keep verifying my account here).
In 2005 I could choose a shared datasource, and it doesn't seem logical that this functionality would be removed. What am I missing here?
Any help would be much appreciated.

First right-click on your reports' Data Sources and add a reference to the Shared Data Source, by selecting "Use Shared Data Source Reference" in the "Add Data Source" dialog.
