Deploying Monitoring Reports - consolidated SSRS

Hi all
is it possible and supported to deploy monitoring reports on SSRS instance that already is configured with reports for other applications (sharepoint, MBAM...)?
the only reference about this topic I could find is
http://joostvanlier.wordpress.com/category/reporting-services/ where it is stated:
"It is possible to combine reports for various applications on a single instance of SQL Server reporting service, it is also possible to create various instances for the various reports. "
tnx in advance!

I check the configuration of the reporting services configuration, all see OK. I probe the URL in the server that I want to configure like a monitoring reporter
and I can explorer and administrate the Reporting Services. The firewall into the servers is off.
Somebody else have this problem.

Pre-Purchase Question - Deploying Crystal Report to SSRS Report Server

Our company has recently installed a SQL 2005 server for our accounting system. I had intended going down the path of using SQL Reporting Services as our reporting tool and deploying them to the builtin Report Server. However, I've been using Crystal Reports for years and find it much more user friendly for a non-programmer to use. I can actually write a report in Crystal, SSRS took me 3 days to achieve very little, I believe it requires too much SQL reporting knowledge for a beginner.
After spending many hours trawling the net looking for a solution to this problem, I found that Crystal comes as part of Visual Studio. However, I also believe the version of Visual Studio that comes with SQL2005 is the basic version, and I'd need the Pro version to get the Crystal add on.
To this end, I've downloaded the trial version of Crystal 2008 and installed it. I find I can write a report in Crystal, and then I can manually add that report to a SSRS project. When I open the Crystal Report within Visual Studio I can see all the correct Crystal toolbars and menus etc, so it would appear that the installation of Crystal for Visual Studio has integrated properly. I can then deploy that report to the Report server and see the report on the web page. However clicking to open the report then opens the full Crystal Reports application, instead of just displaying the report in the web page.
I've been unsuccessful in finding a solution to the above deployment problem. I'm seeking a solution so that my users can just see the report without Crystal itself opening up. I've been advised that there is a Crystal Report Server that I can purchase, but I don't wish to go to that expense when we already have this functionality built into our SSRS server.
Can you please advise if it's possible to deploy the Crystal report to the SSRS Report Server and then open the report within the web page without opening the full Crystal app, and if so what steps I would need to take to implement this.
If this issue can be resolved, I'll be more than happy to purchase the full Crystal 2008 package and forget SSRS as a bad idea.
Sorry to be so long winded, I wanted to be clear what the issue is. Any information /advice would be very much appreciated.

Hello Diane,
I would not know if Crystal Report can be used with SSRS but I know for sure that you can use the embedded Crystal Reports Version with comes with VS 2005 or VS 2008 to create reports and to display them in web and windows application.
We have lots of samples how to do this in our [dev community|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/].
Also, you can use [Crystal Reports 2008|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/developer/library/CR2008SDK] with MS SQL 2005.
Other products like Crystal Reports server can also use MS SQL 2005.
Please see our [supported platforms for CR 2008|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000712280&_OBJECT=011000358700000675322008E] on windows.
Hope this helps

Deployment of reports using SSRS

I am using VS2012 and SQL Server 2012 and I am developing a WinForm application. What choices do I have for deploying the reports associated with the Solution. The obvious one is the Report Manager. Is there another option?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
If you want to display a report in your Windows Forms application, we can use a ReportViewer control. The ReportViewer controls work in either local processing mode or in remote processing mode. In local processing mode, we can display the .rdlc report from
a stream, or from an embedded resource in your application. In remote processing mode, we can display the .rdl report from a Reporting Services report server.
If you want to deploy some reports from the Solution to report server, we can specify the report server and optionally the folders for reports and shared data sources so that we can publish the items in a Report Server project to a report server.

Some Monitoring Reports Are Blank

Hello,
We have deployed monitoring reports for Lync 2013 on SQL 2012 mirrored back end database servers. When I try to open any reports under System Usage Reports, the report is blank. For example, if I try to open report called "User Registration
Report", it is blank. However, if I open any reports under "Media Quality Diagnostic Reports" like "Server Performance Report", it works fine. So, just wondering why I don't see any data for reports like "User Registration
Report". The SQL account I'm using has full sysadmin role on the SQL server. Thanks.

Hi,
Please check if FE server have MSMQ with Directory Services integration installed to complete the message chain between FE and Monitoring server.
Here is a similar case may help you:

Issue when trying to deploy Monitoring Server Reports on Deployment Wizard

Hi all.
I have to install the Monitoring Server Role on a server that already has the Lync Server 2010 up and running.
I'm new to Lync Server so my experience with the product is limited, so I need some help with an issue.
I followed the Deployment Guide and for now I managed to do the following:
- Installed an SQL Server 2008 Standard with SP1 with SSRS also;
- Updated the Topology to include a Monitoring Server, and also published the new topology;
- Installed the new components of the monitoring server.
I can also refer that the SQL Server Instances and Lync Server Front-End are in the same server h where I'm installing the monitoring server, and there is only one Front End Pool.
As far as I can tell everything was successfully done, and I couldn't find any errors until now.
And finally the issue appeared when I wanted to deploy the Monitoring Server Reports to the Reporting Services Server.
In the deployment Wizard of the Lync Server 2010 the link for that option is disabled, no further information is given.
I tried to find on the ISO and .exe or .msi files that could deploy the reports, but could not find any.
I believe it isn't a problem of permissions of the user because i followed the documentation.
I hope someone can help me find the problem, and if possible a solution for it.
Best regards.

Hi,
From your description above, it is a Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition and you deploy Monitoring Server in the same Server with FE Server.
If it is the case, you may meet unknown issues as you must deploy Monitoring Server on a separate Server. You can only collocate Monitoring Server with Archiving Server.
Please try to delete the Monitoring Server configuration in Lync Topology and then republish topology, and rerun Step 2. After these, please deploy Monitoring Server with a Separate Server and test if the issue happen again.

Error while Deploying Monitoring Server Reports!

Hi,
Trying to install the monitoring role with reporting services but must have missed one or several steps! :)
Have 1 standard edition server and 1 server running Lync monitoring and SQL (that I installed myself, hopefully correct)
Have installed SQL with instance LYNCSQL\LYNSQL (also checked the reporting services feature)
Have intalled the Standard Edition server
Have installed the Monitoring role
Now I want to "Deploy Monitoring Server Reports" from the Lync Server Deployment Wizard.
Specifying Monitoringserver with FQDN (the same server as the acctual SQL server)
Specifying LYNCSQL\LYNCSQL as the Instance\InstanceID
Specifying the systemaccount that I added during the SQL server installation
Don't specifying any usergroup
Receiving the following error:
Could not get objects from namespace root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer. The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)Cannot get the ReportServerWebService
URL. Verify that Reporting Services is deployed and configured properly on the target SQL instance:"LYNCSQL\LYNCSQL", and that WMI is included on the exception list of firewall setting on the server that is running Reporting Services.Invalid parameter
Windows Firewall is Off!
SQL Server 2008 x64 SP2
When looking in the Lync Server Console I see green status of Standard Edition and the Monitoring Server, but from my LYNCSQL\LYNCSQL i have status of N/A.
Where to start? :)
Update:
Logged on to the Reporting services configuration manager and here are the settings:
Use Built in Account: Local System -> correct or should it be sys.lyncsql as I mentioned before?
Virtual Directory: ReportServer_LYNCSQL
URL: http://servername:80/ReportServer_LYNCSQL
SSL: Not Selected

Hi,
Firstly, you need make sure Web Service URL and Report Manager URL could be opened in both Lync FE and SQL server.
If prompt authentication chanllenges you have to change the built in account with "Network Service".
Furthermore, make sure firewall is turned off when troubleshooting to rule out ports and connection issue.
Update let us know.

Hi Ben,

Deploy reports in ssrs which are renamed and avoid multiple copies

Hi, I have renamed few of my reports renamed and checked in. Usually we deploy it from BIDS off of TFS reports solution. We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 version. I tried deploying these reports to DEV & QA environments and report manager has 2 copies
of the same report one with the old name & the other with the rename. What would be the approriate way to delete these reports from Production without having to do it manually.
Thanks in advance...........
Ione

You have to delete them manually in this case.
There is no way around it.
Thanks! Josh

A report that uses tablix returns error when trying to deploy to Report Server 2005

We have some reports that have been built using tablixes, and tested in a 2008 Report Server. When trying to deploy to Report Server 2005 (don't ask why) we get an error saying
The report definition is not valid. Details: The element 'ReportItems' in namespace 'XXXXXX' has invalid child element 'Tablix'
So.. what is the issue? I guess 2005 does not support tablixes.. And we cannot upgrade the server version. So the real question is.. is there a workaround for this to avoid having to remake those reports for 2005??
Thanks!

Hi Shei Pi,
Unfortunately Microsoft provide upgrade option only, not downgrade .
SSRS 2005 report can be seen in 2008.. but 2008 report cant seen in 2005.
One guy created the utility which is paid, to convert the report from 2008 version to 2005.
You can see similar thread in MSDN here, you can find the paid utility link also for this issue.

Deploy Monitoring server issue

Hi All,
When i try to deploy the monitoring server this error message appear all the time
Cannot access LcsCDR or QoEMetrics on Monitoring back-end database
But LcsCDR and QoEMetrics are created.
Do you have encountered this issue, and know how to solve that?
Thanks

Hi,ODE AMA,
So now your question is Monitoring Server Reporting service deployment issue,right?
Make sure the account you used to deploy Monitoring Server reporting service has the required permission of your Monitoring Database,details you can check Terence Luk's
blog post.
Also please make sure the 1433 port is opened on your database server.

Creating Tabbed Report in SSRS

Hi All,
I am trying to create SSRS report with tabs. Something like this
Tab 1
Tab2
Tab 3
Tab4
Tab5
The end user will input a value which will be passed to all the DataSets (my case each Tab will display some information from a DataSet). So when the user clicks on Tab1, it will display relevant information form DataSet1 and when the user clicks Tab2, it
will hide the Tab1 information and should display the Tab2 information from DataSet2.
I am able to achieve the following:
1. Making the tab clickable
2. Navigating from one tab to another (dispalying relevant information for each Tab) - Using Go to BookMark or Go to Report Option in the Action Property
But I am not able to hide the inactive tab report data. I am building reports and deploying it in SharePoint 2010.
Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Maruthu,
In your scenario, you can drillthrough to the same report using action property and pass the tab name to it, and then hide or show the tab information base on the parameter's value. The expression below are for your reference.
For the report items that used to display tab1's information:=IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="Tab1",false,true)
For the report items that used to display tab2's information:=IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="Tab2",false,true)
For the report items that used to display tab3's information:=IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="Tab3",false,true)

Graphs not rendering when reports deployed to Report Server

I'll make this short...
I have several reports that contain graphs that preview just fine in Visual Studio but when I run them via our report server they don't display anything.
Has anyone encountered this before? If so, how did you resolve it?

Hi Northwester,
According to your description, there are several reports that contain graphs, when you preview the reports in Visual Studio, the graphs can be displayed. After you deployed the reports, the graphs could not be displayed when you preview the reports.
To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
The issue may be relevant to compatibility of browser, please use different browser to check whether the issue persists.
If you are using embedded image of jpg type, please change the extension of the image to png.
In order to use an external image in another folder, for example “Resources” folder, we need to deploy the image to the “Resources” folder at first, and then specify the image value in the report to the full path of the image URL.
If you want to use an image file and the file cannot be accessed through Anonymous access, you can configure the unattended report processing account and grant the account permission to access the file.
Reference:
Adding Images to a Report
Configure the Unattended Execution Account (SSRS Configuration Manager)
If the problem remain unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could provide steps you add the graphs to report and screenshot of the report, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu

Controlling execution of subreport on main Report in ssrs 2008 R2

Controlling execution of subreport on main Report in ssrs
Hi,
Am using more than 100 subreports in my main report using ssrs 2008 R2.
And given conditional Visibility in sub reports based on the Parameter selection in main Report . But the performance is very very slow in main report.
While selecting single sub report executes in seconds. The same report in main report executes in hours.
According to my view,
All the Sub reports executes and finally conditional visibility is working. Can we Control executing sub reports?
Regards, Gayathri devi P.S. : Please click the 'Mark as Answer' button if a post solves your problem! :)

Hi,
I think the time to render 100 report sure will be long time and the main report want to render those reports.
So first why you do not separate those report on many reports for different purpose.
second if this is a dashboard report you may use many matrix in the same report and the parameters passed by default or based on expression.
I really hope if you make your report as dashboard report, many matrix many parameters render it once. As I remember I think SSRS will try to execute your
DataSets in parallel which will reduce your waiting time.
I hope this is helpful.

How to get table and column names thats being used in SQL , that's generating all my reports on SSRS.

Good day,
I searched through the forum and cant find anything.
I have around 300 published reports on SSRS and we are busy migrating to a new system.
They have already setup their tables on the new system and I need to provide them with a list of table names and column names that are being used currently to generate the 300 reports on SSRS.
We use various tables and databases to generate these reports, and will take me forever to go through each query to get this info.
Is it at all possible to write a query in SQL 2008 that will give me all the table names and columns being used?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
I thank you.
Andre.

There's no straightforward method for that I guess. There are couple of things you can use to get these details
1. query the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog table
for getting details
you may use script below for that
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/42440a6b-c5b1-4acc-9632-d608d1c40a5c
2. Another method is to run the reports and run sql profiler trace on background to retrieve queries used.
But in some of these cases the report might be using a procedure and you will get only procedure. Then its upto you to get the other details from procedure like tables used, columns etc
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
