Crossdomain.xml and Reporting Services

Hi,
I'm trying to get my Flex application to call a webservice on a remote Reporting Services instance, but am running up against insummountable problems with the Flash Player's cross-site scripting security.
Due to the way that Reporting Services works, there is no root folder (i.e. http://theserver/ doesn't actually exist anywhere in the filesystem) - so we cannot have a master policy file at that location.
However, we have been able - through extensive fiddling of the SSRS web.config - to get an XML and/or ASPX file into the http://myserver/ReportServer/ subfolder and have the "X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: all" HTTP header returned along with the content.
We are then calling Security.loadPolicyFile("http://theserver/ReportServer/crossdomain.xml") before we try and start calling the WebService.
We are then able to load the WebService description (GET /ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx?wsdl). However, when we then try to make the actual call to the webservice - which is a HTTP POST of XML data to the same URL - /ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx - we get the following errors in the Flex debugger (and the Flash Player log file):
Warning: Failed to load policy file from http://theserver/crossdomain.xml
Error: Request for resource at http://theserver/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx by requestor from http://localhost/modules/ReportsModule.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Are GET and POST requests handled differently, or is there something more sinister going on here? Can anyone think of a way to proceed in this investigation, apart from just giving up on Flash's ability to do anything cross-site, and writing our own Server-Side proxy for everything!
regards
Richard

Sounds like the update for Flash 8 may help.

  • XML and Web Service Data Source Missing in Crystal Reports for VS

    I would like to use a Web Service as the data source for a Crystal Report that will be running outside of my Visual Studio application.  So setting the data source to the web service in code is not possible.  My understanding is Crystal Reports has a connection (in the Database Expert under New Connection) named XML and Web Service.  Here you can select web service and enter the WSDL URL for the web service.  However it does not appear in the list for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio.  Does this connection type come with the Visual Studio version of Crystal Reports and if not is their a way to obtain it? 
    Thank you for your assistance.

    None of the bundled versions of CR have the driver. Reason is that the driver responsible for these connections requires the Java framework and I suspect MS would not be too pleased if we installed the Java framework. The stand alone versions, since they are not part of any bundle can and do install the Java framework and the driver. Note that even the latest release of CR - CRVS2010 does not have the driver as it essentially becomes a bundle or a VS2010 plug-in.
    So, the short of it is; you have to obtain a stand-alone version of CR. I'd recommend CR 2008 (12.x) as CRXI R2 will run out of support in June of this year.

    Hi RV,
    Add your report server to opmn.xml and targets.xml fles using addnewservertarget.sh or addnewservertarget.bat:
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin/
    $ addNewServerTarget.sh rep_tethis_ora_midtier
    Then restart opmn (stopall/startall)
    Then you can use opmn to start and stop your Reports Server rep_tethis_ora_midtier.

  • Difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013

    Hi, We are building company site with Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and were wondering what is the difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013? What are the roles/purposes of each one? What
    happens if only Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode  installed or vise versa.
    Thank you in advance

    Reporting Services in SharePoint mode is a service for displaying, managing, and creating SSRS reports within SharePoint. The addin is a pre-req for SharePoint that is used to display reports and is required for Reporting Services in Native or SharePoint
    mode, but does not by itself do anything.

  • Critical Errors SCCM 2012 (Distribution Point and Reporting services point)

    Hello,
    We are getting errors under the Site Status for the Distribution Point and Reporting services point. Was running fine and have not really made any changes but all of a sudden we have these critical errors.
    The report server service is not running on Reporting Service Point server "XXXXXXXXXXX"; start the service to enable reporting.
    We have stopped and restarted the SQL 2012 reporting service point with no errors. What else should we look at for this error? And are these related?

  • Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

    Hi,
    I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
    However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
    with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
    Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get 
    Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
    I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
    Thanks.
    John.

    Hi John,
    Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
    If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
    I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
    Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:

  • 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.

    You asked this
    How can i find what is the latest version that i can upgrade this install to
    I told you where to find the last update, I checked that version yesterday, the last update is 10.1.2.3, my misstake was to put a 0 before the 3.
    You can go to Patches & update>Quick Links to: Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs and Maintenance Packs>Oracle Fussion Middle Ware> Look for you OS versión and CPU> No clic just put pointer over the links and you will see the last one.
    And finaly could look for the CPU of Jul and Apr that as requirement they ask for version 10.1.2.3 (as I say I checked yesterday)

  • Query on install Oracle AS Forms and Reports Services

    Hi All,
    I want to install 'Oracle Internet Application Server Products - Forms and Reports', I referenced the 'Forms and Reports Services Installation Guides 10g Release 2(10.1.2) for Windows B16392-02'.
    I install successfully up to Chapter 5.
    When I jump into Chapter 6 of the release (Configuring Forms and Reports Services to Use an Oracle Application Server Infrastructure), I followed the guideline but could not see my AS has any way to allow me to configure Oracle Identity Management/OracleAS Metadata Repository/Starting OPMN Services/Testing the Configuration.... Is it because my AS is just for Forms and Reports and not a full feature one? How I can test my AS is working?
    On the other hand, is it possible to migrate forms and reports from old version like Developer 2000 4.5 to 10g? Any reference or suggestion?
    And what I need to do more with the current AS in order to allow me to upload forms and reports to it? Please kindly advise.
    Best Regards
    AC

    Hi AC!
    There are two versions of Forms and Reports: one standalone and one as part of the Application Server. The second one will offer the Infrastructure. If you use the second one then you will have an Infrastructure after the installation.
    Seems to me that you do not have the complete AS but the standalone version.

  • AS 10g forms and reports services install

    I only have Developer 9.0.2 loaded. I want to load AS10g Forms and Report Services but I'm not sure how this relates to my old instance of Developer. Should I reuse the Oracle Home of the 9.0.2 Developer instance for the new install or do I need to create a new Oracle Home? I noticed in the OUI that a "complete" Installation Type will also load Developer. Does this mean I should be doing an upgrade rather than an install? Do I need to just trash the 9.0.2 instance and start anew?
    Thanks, Chris

    Chris,
    I suggest to install into a complete new Oracle Home. If you mix two installs you end up with unpredictable behaviours, if not in Forms then possibly in otehr components. Note that this mustn't be the case, but better is.

  • Installation : Application Server 10g forms and reports services

    Can anyone tell me if the infrastructure database is required when doing the forms and reports services only install to get the Distributed Configuration Management functionallity to work. There is no indication in the installation documentation that this is a requirement, in fact it seems that it is not required at all. I am having to guide a service provider through an install remotely and have to give them alot of information before they will proceed.

    Hi Sandeep,
    Hope you will be fine.
    Actually I have installed Oracle DB10gR2+RHAS3 on one machine and Oracle AS10gR2 Forms and Reports Services+RHAS3 on another machine.
    1). I can manually start the database EM,isqlplus manaually after OS reboots using commands and they are working fine but donot know how to start all these automatically when the OS starts.
    2). I cannot start the IAS Forms and Reports Services neither manually nor automatic. even when my home directory was /BIN, i executed the command
    "emctl start iasconsole" it returns an error Like "BASH.........etc"
    meaing Linux does not recognize emctl while it is still existing in ORACLE_HOME/BIN directory.
    I want both (DB and AS) working fine automatically while OS starts.
    Looking Forward.
