Integrating Reports from SQL Server Reporting Services

Dear Experts,
I am given the URL to a report from SQL Server Reporting Services. The URL looks like
[http://<report_server_host>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/<category>/<report>&<list_of_parameter_value_pairs>]
When this URL is executed, the user will be prompted for user name and password.
And I am given the following requirements:
- Integrate the report into SAP NetWeaver Portal
- The report has to be passed parameters with values generated at runtime and which must be hidden (because it is sensitive data)
Initially, I have been working on two options:
1. using Application Integrator (portal application: com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap, portal component: Generic)
2. using URL iView
With the Application Integrator, however, I got the following error:
The operation you are attempting on item "/" is not allowed for this item type. (rsWrongItemType)
I cannot find the solution to this. It looks like the URL which contain "/" after "?" is not appropriate for the Application Integrator.
So I turn my focus away from the Application Integrator, but to using the URL iView instead. And in order to hide the parameters passed, I make the following settings in the URL iView:
Request Method = POST
Fetch Mode = Server-Side
But then I got the following error:
Failed to fetch the content. The response status was 401.
Message:
(I have defined an HTTP system and used it in the URL iView.)
Does anyone know how to fix the errors (either with the Application Integrator or the URL iView)?
Your answers will be much appreciated!
Regards
Sakprasat Sum

Hi
Was a solution for this found?
I am trying to achieve the same thing, create an iView that links to an existing SQL Reporting Services report.
Cheers,
Andrew

I have few reports which have been created using the Microsoft Sql Server Reporting Services.Now i want to create similar reports using Oracle Reports 10g.
Will i need to start from scratch the creation or is there migration tool that would reduce the efforts for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Note there's a lot of useful info on sqldev's homepage (Learn More tab): migration docs and examples.

Encrypt Excel Export from SQL Server Reporting Services prior to attaching to e-mail

Does SSRS 2012 have a secure e-mail Delivery Extension that would allow the Excel document to be encrypted?
Or is there sample code?
Or is the best approach to consider a Microsoft Partner product such as Database Potential, Inc.'s "Secure Delivery Pack for SQL Server Reporting Services"?
http://www.databasepotential.com/product-p/sdp.htm
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or feedback regarding this topic.
Boyd

Hi Boyd,
Currently, it’s not supported a delivery extension that encrypts documents before sending them in Reporting Services. If you have the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) environment, you can use the following workaround:
1. Using SSIS Script Task to encrypt the report before exporting it to the Excel file.
2. Add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel files to the recipients.
For the details, please refer to the document below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2011/10/encrypt-files-in-ssis.html
In addition, we can try to use .NET API approach. In this scenario, we need capture the Excel file using the WQL Query of FileWatcher, and then encrypt the file, finally email the Excel File.
For the details, please refer to the blog as shown below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2010/12/continuously-watching-files-with-wmi.html

Connecting to Amazon Redshift from SQL Server Reporting Services

Hey all,
Just a general question for now as the company I work for is looking to migrate our current data warehouse from SQL Server 2008R2 to Amazon Redshift. Currently all of our reports on our intranet are SQL Server Reporting Services reports and
I have been tasked with finding out whether or not we can connect SSRS to Amazon Redshift. I see that Amazon Redshift is a SQL data warehouse and uses industry standard ODBC and JDBC connections and PostgreSQL drivers so many popular software vendors
are certifying Amazon Redshift with their offerings to enable tools to still access RedShift.
If SSRS can connect to Amazon Redshift, can you also advise me on how this can be done so I can begin playing around with it.
Cheers

Hi there,
You might want to try the Windows AMIs.
http://aws.amazon.com/windows/amis/
For local access, you'll probably need to install 32-bit & 64 bit Postgres drivers on the server & developer machines.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17323590/redshift-with-ssis-ssdt
http://michaeljswart.com/2013/03/checking-out-amazon-redshift/
Then you'll need to configure connection strings in your data source and test.

Creating OLAP report with Crystal Reports and SQL Server Analysis Services 2005

Post Author: orahc_mao
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi!
I am currently using the trial version of the Crystal Reports XI and I wanted to do an OLAP report. The problem is I cannot select a cube using "OLAP Connection Browser" (the popup window). I already selected Microsoft OLE DB Provider and entered the server name but still can't connect.
I don't think the problem is with SQL Server Analysis Services (2005) since Microsoft Excel - Import Data can detect the server as well as the cube I have created.
I also tried the "Database Expert" of Crystal Reports, created an OLE DB (ADO) connection with "OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0" driver, entered the server name, checked the integrated security and then I can readily select the database created at SQL Server Analysis Services. However, I still need the OLAP grid create the report but it goes back to my original problem... selecting a cube.
I hope somebody would help me with this issue.
Thanks a lot!
orahc_mao

Hello,
I don't recognize those variables as CR ones so it's likely something the original developer is setting in code.
You'll have to discuss with that person.
If your have SDK issues then post your question to one of the .NET or Java SDK forums.
Thank you

Calling/starting a report from Sql Server

Hello.
I have to get a storage movement starting from a Sql Server Platform.
I found out the function BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE which, getting the main data from an internal
table, could create a movement in MSEG/MKPF (I suppose, I haven’t used it yet).
But if I create a report using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE which gets the data from an internal table
(filled by a Sql Server table), how can I tell to Sap to execute it?
Is it the only way to schedule this report in SAP every (i.e.) 5 minutes reading if there are
data in Sql Server?
Isn’t there a “trigger” to start a report in SAP from Sql Server/Windows?

Hello,
It depends on what method you use to read data i.e. Data Context class, Entity Framework for SQL-Server we can get data directly from the database easily.
The following has two very simply examples using data context classes and the same came be done with Entity Framework which has an even more powerful version of data context implementation under 6 and above
Dim db As New DataClasses1DataContext
Dim theCustomer As Customer = db.Customers.Where(Function(c) c.CustomerID = 999).FirstOrDefault
If theCustomer IsNot Nothing Then
' use theCustomer which contains all columns
Else
' do not use, customer not located
End If
Dim theCustomer1 As Customer =
From c In db.Customers
Where c.CustomerID = 999
Select New Customer With
.CompanyName = c.CompanyName,
.ContactName = c.ContactName,
.Orders = c.Orders
).FirstOrDefault

SA PASSWORD from SQL Server Reports in TMG Threat Forefront Gateway

Dear friends.
I have a question and the technical support did not resolve it.
I need to know which is the SA password when you install the Forefront TMG because i need to made querys into the SQL Server management studio installed in the server.
Thankls

Hi,
AFAIK the SA password is controlled by TMG and the SQL authentication mode for MSFW is Windows authentication and for ISARS Mixed authentication, so you should be able to open the ISARS database with your Windows credentials that you use to administrate
Forefront TMG.

GoldenGate Downstream Integrated capture from SQL Server 2012 as source

Hi,
Previously, I had done OGG integrated capture from downstream mining database. In that case SourceDB, Downstream MiningDB and TargetDB, all databases were Oracle.
MiningDB was in sync with source for log shipping and OGG extract was hooked with MiningDB to capture changes and apply on targetDB by replicat.
This time, I am looking for similar solution for SourceDB as MS SQL Server 2012. Exploring my options as I am not allowed to let OGG extract directly capture from source database.
I have to come up with a solution where source database can ship logs to another location (miningDB) and let OGG extract capture from there.
What could be my options ??? Appreciate your suggestions???
Thanks
Neetu

Hi,
You can move post to Golden Gate forum and also add following more information:
I see you are using Integrated it means the version is either 11 or higher.
1, Add GG version 11/12 ?
2. Add Oracle DB Version 10/11/12
In Oracle downstream, basically you ship the archive logs to the downstream server but have you thought how is the transnational logs handled in SQL Server ?

How to show or publish the TFS - SQL Server Reporting Services reports in SharePoint dashboard?

Hello,
We have configured SharePoint site and SSRS for a team project.
Foll. is the SharePoint site for the team project. When we click on the REPORTS link, it redirects us to the SQL Server Reporting Services website.
My question is: How can I show or publish the reports from SQL Server Reporting Services into SharePoint so that I can view the reports on SharePoint dashboard rather than having to go to the SSRS URL?

Hi Nachiket,
If you configure Reporting service for your TFS, then you can view the reports in report manger site when you click click report on Team Explorer. And SharePoint is a collaboration website product that offers deep integration with Office products like Word,
Outlook, and Excel. You can save your team project related files in your SharePoint site. Check this
page for more details.
If you want to view reports that generated by reporting service on your SharePoint site, you might need to save the report in Excel and upload it to SharePoint site.
Best regards,

1.        Question 3: How to install a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows?
Answer:
To install the 32-bit version of Reporting Services on a computer that is running the 64-bit version of IIS 6.0, we can follow these following steps:
1.       Uninstall the 64-bit version of Reporting Services.
Note: Side-by-side installations of 32-bit versions of Reporting Services and 64-bit versions of Reporting Services are not supported.
2.       Run the Dotnetfx64.exe file to manually install the .NET Framework.
The Dotnetfx64.exe file is in the Tools\redist\2.0 folder on the SQL Server 2005 Setup media. To download the Dotnetfx64.exe file, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70186
3.       In IIS Manager, click Web Server Extensions.

Creating alias for Web access to SQL Server Reporting Services

Hello colleagues.
I have MS SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server Reporting Services in domain "domain.local". In the local network at the entrance via Web browser to "mdr.domain.local/Reports" get into Reports of SQL Server Reporting Services and it's work fine.
Necessary that the SQL Server Reporting Services could include via Web browser from alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports". To do this:
1) I created a new A record "reports2" in the DNS leading to IP mdr.domain.local
2) in Reporting Services Configuration Manager on a tab "Web Service URL" in "Report Server Web Service URLs" I add new record "http://reports2:80/ReportServer" (host Header Name: reports2)
BUT "reports2.domain.local/Reports" is not work. When entering to "reports2.domain.local/Reports" I see page "An error in the security certificate for this Web Site..." and when I click "Continue to ...", then "Unable
to find a web page."
What and where I must add/change for work of alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports" by analogy with "mdr.domain.local/Reports"?
I hope for your help.
Thanks.

WooW it's work!!! Thank you
JJordheim you are the best!
With my PKI I create new certificate for "reports2.domain.local" and Import it to MDR server (in Personal). I create new network adapter and configure Reporting Services Configuration on "Report manager URL" tab (for SSL):
mdr.domain.local - certificate "mdr.domain.local" - network adapter №1
reports2.domain.local - certificate "reports2.sygroup.local" - network adapter №2
And all work fine.
If I configure all to 1 network adapter it's doesn't work.
Thanks for help!

SQL Server Report Builder Numeric Field Formatting

I am creating Reports in SQL Server Report builder.
When I set format of any number fields, in design it is displaying sample value.
For e.g. If I set format 0.00 to one numeric field, it started to display 12345.00
I have 10-12 fields in design, it caused very much confusion.
Is there any solution to change this?
When I open report in Visual Studio, it doesn't display like that.
Check Following screenshots:
In Report Builder:
In Visual Studio:

Hi Harsh10,
If I understand correctly, there are two placeholders in each textbox in the report. You want the second placeholder which contains numeric field to format as 0.00. If in this scenario, we can refer to the following steps:
Right-click the second placeholder which contains numeric field in each textbox to open the Placeholder Properties dialog box.
Click Number in the left pane.
Select Number with Decimal places ‘2’ in the Category drop-down list.
Reference:
Formatting Text and Placeholders (Report Builder and SSRS)
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Non Windows Credentials Sql Server Analysis Services

I am attempting to connect to an OLAP cube using power query from sql server analysis services, but without windows credentials. Is there a way in which I can perform this action? It doesn't seem to support this type of connection without using
windows credentials and I would like to use a different username and password.

Not today. It's a frequently-requested feature, so I expect we'll probably implement it relatively soon.
