Free reporting?

I've got a small report tha tused to existing on a server that hosted both MS SQL DB and the Reporting Services.  The end user wants the report on a separate server for a variety of reasons.  If I turn off SRS on the DB server, can I just install
ONLY the reporting service components and use it on the new server? 
I don't understand any of the licensing/pricing implications of this architecture change.
Thank you.

Hello,
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) consists of server-side and client-side components. The Server components require a SQL Server license. You must have a valid SQL Server license for any computer on which you install a Reporting Services server
component.
The price of the SQL Server license is varied based on the version, edition and license modle of the SQL Server.
For more information about license, you can call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. For international customers, please use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft
Licensing Sites to find contact information in your locations.

  • Free Report Tool Datavision

    Hi!
    I'm using the free report Tool datavision http://datavision.sourceforge.net/, this tool have the funcionality no create reports like Crystal Reports, is good and free, I allready create my report, but I have troubles when try to publish, here is the code I'm using in index.jsp:
    <%@ page import="jimm.datavision.*" %>
    <%@ page import="jimm.datavision.layout.HTMLLE" %>
    <%@ page import="org.xml.sax.InputSource" %>
    <%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
    <%!
    static final String DATABASE_PASSWORD = "somepassword";
    static final String REPORT_FILE ="reporte.xml";
    %>
    <%
    Report report = new Report();
    report.setDatabasePassword(DATABASE_PASSWORD);
    report.read(REPORT_FILE);
    File tmp = File.createTempFile("datavision", null);
    tmp.deleteOnExit();
    HTMLLE le = new HTMLLE(new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(tmp)));
    report.setLayoutEngine(le);
    report.runReport();
    // Copy data from generated HTML file to this page's output.
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(tmp));
    String line;
    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
        out.println(line);
    %>but i get the error:
    HTTP Status 404 - reporte.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)
    type Status report
    message reporte.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)
    description The requested resource (reporte.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)) is not available.
    Apache Tomcat/5.5.9
    the file reporte.xml is in the root of the app, with the index.jsp
    I'm using windows xp pro, with tomcat 5.5.9
    Someone have an Idea?????

    Which file did you download? If iReport, you should have a program group in your Windows Start menu. If JasperReports, it is a Reporting Framework. You have to implement JasperReports in your other Java code. There are numerous examples of how to do this in the JasperReports forums as well as available through a simple Google search.
    We implemented JasperReports through a java bean that was called by a JSF (Java Server Faces) application. You will need to create a Java method, be it a JavaBean or Java Servlet, etc., in order to implement JasperReports. This is explained in the documentation. :-)

  • Report Viewer and Multiple Data Sources

    I know that it is possible to create a report in Crystal Reports using multiple data sources.  But is it possible to use just the Free  Report Viewer to view a report with Multiple Data Sources?
    Our company uses Crystal Reports XI.  I do not use the program myself, I am in the IT Department.  I have limited knowledge of Crystal and do not do any of the report writing.
    If this is possible, and if someone could help me out with what would need to be done, or point me in the right direction of a Knowledge Base or Help Topic that explains this, that would be great.
    Thanks.

    I believe it can but both data sources need to be set up. Ask a report designer to help you use the Designer to test this and see what is required.

  • PDF Report as batch job

    Hi Experts!!
    I am looking for solution for a report which will be executed at specific time/day everyweek automatically and
    generate mulitple letters (PDF or DOC document). The letters will get data from the database i.e. cust#, name and
    address.
    I would like to know, how I can do from Apex.
    Thanks in advance
    Dip

    Hi Dip,
    you could create a PL/SQL Batchjob (e.g. DBMS_SCHEDULER), which runs whenever you need it (every day at 08:00, or every second day, once a week, whatever).
    This Batchjob can call your Report via UTL_HTTP and store the result in a BLOB in one of your tables.
    Now if you don't have a Reporting Solution yet, you can use either Oracle APEX Report Queries together with Oracle BI Publisher (which costs extra), or you take any other "free" Reporting tool, for example JasperReports.
    If you plan on using JasperReports check Dietmar Aust's Integration Package: http://daust.blogspot.com/2010/01/jasper-reports-integration-beta-release.html

  • Barcode Problem with free 3 of 9

    I have an application (vb6) that opens a report and passes the parameters to it to create the report on the fly(they are passed as strings). one of the fields is a barcode ( I am using a free font - free 3 of 9). you can find it at ( http://www.squaregear.net/fonts/free3of9.shtml).
    at design time, when I insert the string in the report and I change the font to free 3 of 9, the barcode displays fine, including the  the * at start and stop. e.g. to see 12345 I set the string to 12345, it shows and scans fine.
    the problems appear when I pass the string to the report from the vb application. the * get deleted from the generated barcode and of course is not readable anymore. if I format the string to any other font the * are there.  the creator of free 3 of 9 explains in his site that ms word will use ** to create Bold in the text. and he explains what must be disable in MS word to make it work.
    what can I do to make it work in Crystal?
    thanks

    Hi Samhith,
    According to your description, you can render the barcode in Report Builder using bar code fonts. But it can't be rendered successfully in web page and PDF export.
    In this scenario, the reason why the barcode can't be rendered exactly in PDF/web page is because the barcode font is not responsible for the embedding process. It has reported a lot of same issue. To solve this problem, we suggest you add third party reference
    into your refer, use custom code and create function for converting text string into Bytes. Then we can render the Bytes as image. Please refer to the links below:

  • Crystal Reports for Eclipse vs. Crystal Reports Developer

    We are developing a Java web application for internal use.  Since we have some people at the company who are familiar with Crystal Reports, we'd like to have them write reports that we can display through our application.  Crystal Reports Server seems like overkill for this project, but the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm#en/JRC_SDK/">JRC</a> sounded like a good fit.
    I have been evaluating <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/developer/default.asp">Crystal Reports Developer</a> and trying out the <a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_web_samples.zip.asp">JRC samples</a>.  The samples don't use the tag library.  Instead, they show how to set session variables and redirect to a viewer JSP which contains a bunch of Java code to use the CrystalReportViewer.
    The samples are so much more complex than the code created by Crystal Reports for Eclipse, which simply uses the tag library:
    <%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %>
    <crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName="myreport-viewer" reportSourceVar="myreport" isOwnPage="true">
    <crviewer:report reportName="myreport.rpt" />
    </crviewer:viewer>
    I assume that I should be able to use the same tag library approach without using Crystal Reports for Eclipse, but I haven't seen any tutorials on it.  I'm trying to understand whether I should purchase Crystal Reports for Eclipse instead of Crystal Reports Developer.
    This is the difference, as I understand it:
    Crystal Reports Developer gives you the stand-alone Crystal Reports Designer and the right to run the JRC on an internal server.  It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.40434600">$595</a>.
    Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard provides a free report designer built into Eclipse.  It also includes the JRC for use on an internal server.
    Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional provides "a more powerful runtime engine" with the right to run it on one internal server.  It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.52068100">$495</a>.  Is this the same JRC provided with Crystal Reports Developer?
    If the "powerful" JRC is the same as Crystal Reports Developer's JRC, could I install Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard to take advantage of the Eclipse integration and the built-in designer, but use the more powerful JRC from Crystal Reports Developer, which would also give me the stand-alone designer?

    <p>Hi there,</p><p>     If you are planning on deploying a JRC application then you should definitely be using Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your runtime engine. It is the latest version of the JRC and includes many updates not available in Crystal Reports Developer.</p><p>As for "power" the JRC included in CR Developer is on par with the JRC available in the Basic edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse. The Professional edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse provides the most powerful version of the JRC available.</p><p>With the release of Crystal Reports for Eclipse, Business Objects is setting the groundwork for separating Developer needs from the Report Author needs.</p><p>A professional report author will require a professional report design tool. For these users we are recommending that they purchase Crystal Reports Professional.</p><p>The developer, on the other hand, generally needs the SDKs and a toolkit to assist with building applications. We believe that these should be available at no cost to the developer, only charging when the application is deployed (in this case a CR4E Pro license). This is different from the current model with Crystal Reports Developer where we have combined a professional report designer plus the required runtime.</p><p>So, to summarize, definitely use Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your application runtime and have your report authors puchase Crystal Reports Professional. If you need a more powerful engine, access to technical support or plan to deploy on multiple servers then I would recommend purchasing the Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional license for your development purposes.</p><p>As for some tutorials on creating viewer pages, the integration in Eclipse provides a very simple way of accomplishing this. I would suggest reading the section titled "<strong>Creating a New Viewer Page</strong>" in our Getting Started Guide found at the following URL:</p><p><a href="/node/320"><strong> http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/320</strong></a></p><p>Let me know if you have some follow-up questions. </p><p>Regards,<br />Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager) <br /><strong><br /><a href="http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-ratelink-lid-639.html">Rate this plugin @ Eclipse Plugin Central</a></strong>           </p>

  • Custom Layout Reporting

    Hi , we are using apex for reporting .
    I wanted to know whether we can generate APEX Reports with custom layouts without BI Publisher.
    thank you

    I am not talking about templates..
    for Example : if i need to generate an id card.. ( U know the layout of Id Card)
    it should generate the ID card based on the fields which set on the layout. Which is possible with the help of BI Publisher. I want to whether it is possible in APEX without BI Publisher integration.Hi 968619,
    Here you have to understand one important thing
    APEX is a web application development tool where as Bi Publisher is a reporting engine which can be integrated with any data source, AND one can't replace the other because they are built for entirely different purposes.
    But you can replace the BI publisher with some free reporting engines such as fop, Jasper

  • How to create a form for email?

    Hi all,
    I use 1 and 1 for hosting however they do not have a form script available with
    the package I have.
    What is the best way to put a simple form on my site? One that would be for
    entering an email for a free report/newsletter is what I am shooting for?
    I was told there are a couple free wysiwyg ones, however I tried them and when
    you copy the code and use it in DW it does not come out looking very well, or
    at least I couldn't get it to work. So I would like to do it the right way and of
    course the lowest cost way of doing it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated...regards, ..dano

    Hello,
    Yes I have no doubt the code is messed up
    I guess I should start from the beginning. Here is the original code below for the form code that I recieved from
    my hosting Company to use.
    However all I need is the email field and a submit button and not the other fields. That is probably how
    I managed to mess up the code, I was trying to take out the other fields, line it up etc and most likely did a pretty
    good hack job.
    I tried this original code and yes your right it really did mess up the side bar terribly.
    Here is the original code my hosting Co gave me before I made a mess out of it.

  • 1Ghz TiBook - Random freezing. Logic board fault?

    Hi all,
    perhaps one of you might be able to help troubleshoot this, because it's seriously driving me up the wall! I bought a used 1Ghz Titanium (DVI) recently and I'm finding that it freezes randomly when in use, requiring a comand+control restart. I've almost always experienced it in Safari, but also once in Entourage, illustrator and also in MacOS 9.2.2 Finder. Essentially what happens is that the cursor freezes and the powerbook no longer responds to keystrokes or trackpad input. I've tried an external mouse but that doesn't fix things either. The display is still lit but any moving graphics/video are frozen on screen. If music is playing in iTunes it cuts out leaving the last second of sound looping. Shortly after freezing I sometimes hear the fan come on, so perhaps there is a part of the powerbook still working after the crash (?). Also, I can select/deselect the caps lock and number lock keys and the green LEDs switch on and off, so perhaps it's not completely dead? The moment of the freeze almost always coincides with a mouse/trackpad click on the scroll bar, menu, safari menu bar, dock icon, form submit button, etc. It will on occasion freeze overnight when there is no mousing at all. generally though I can leave it playing iTunes all night and when I start using it in the morning it'll freeze when I collect my email or something.
    the frequency of the freezing is semi-random; I have gone for roughly 48hrs of constant use without incident and then suddenly 2-4 crashes in short succession (ie, within about 10 mins of each other). Generally it freezes about 2 or 3 times a day. They do often come regular clumps.
    Initially I thought it was Safari, or the OSX 10.4.5 installation that came with the powerbook, but I removed the entire HD and replaced it with the working drive from my Pismo and had exactly the same symptoms. Realising it was hardware related I did the usual drill of swapping, re-seating and removing ram, etc - but no dice. I've run Apple Hardware Test in a couple of 18hr loops but they return a glowing report about my hardware! techtool does likewise. I took it to the new Apple Centre in London where they ran their (apparently more powerful) AHT CD for 73 loops over 3 hours. Again, no reported errors!
    I've read the long 'trackpad cable thread', and opened my powerbook to see if pinching the cable is an issue, but it's clearly not. I have lots of clearance around my trackpad cable and it's not in contact with any part of the case. I've even applied pressure all around the palmrest and the outside of my powerbook case hoping to induce a freeze but that doesn't seem to do anything.
    What should I do next? when the powerbook works it's fine, but I'm at a loss as to what's causing the freezing. As a performing musician playing to hundreds of people a fault like this renders my powerbook useless since it must be absolutely stable and bullet-proof on stage.
    thanks for reading and I'm grateful for any advice.
    TiBook 1Ghz (DVI)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   9600/350

    hi there,
    thanks for the welcome. i've been visiting here for a while and find all the posts very useful.
    the trackpad issue is an odd one; my powerbook doesn't seem to show the classic symptoms of weird startup chimes or jerky cursor movement, etc in the other thread. I nonetheless opened up the powerbook praying that I'd find a pinched cable since that would have been so easy to fix. unfortunately there's nothing about it that looks problematic.
    I had also suspected heat as being an issue and searched this forum a couple of times for related posts, but couldn't find anything. When I opened the powerbook i checked the fans for obstructions and blew out any dust i could see (i didn't have compressed gas). Again, they looked fairly normal to me - i didn't spot anything obvious like a trapped cable. As far as I can tell all 3 fans come on OK. First one of them and then after some time another one or two turn on after the powerbook has been running a while. (Is it actually possible to determine whether or not they're all working?)
    It's difficult to say whether heat is actually related to the freezing. certainly I often notice the fans come on before a freeze, or right afterwards, but just as many times that's not the case. what is consistant however is that the freeze occurs the instance a cursor selection is clicked.
    would you say this would be resolved by a logic board swap, because I know someone selling one. On the other hand, I'm a little confused by all the error-free reports I get when I run the Apple Hardware Test for extened loops.
    thanks again for your help!
