Is there a way to affect the URL used when running a report subscription?

We are using SQL Server 2008 R2.  I am finding out that when running a report subscription to extract a file in csv format, an extra blank line is created at the bottom (i.e., extra line feed), and the mysterious BOM characters also get inserted at
the beginning.  Both of these "features" are causing problems with a client's import of these files.  Of course, it affects multiple clients.
I have done some research and have found information on how to edit the rsconfigserver file to render CSV files using ASCII and to not use Excel formatting.  This removes both "features"/problems stated above.
However, editing the server config file will affect all csv extractions on that report server.  Is there a way to control the URL of a specific report subscription to include these values (so only the reports that need the fix get it)?  For example,
someone gave this URL as an example of how to add parameters including encoding in the URL.   http://MyReportServer/ReportServer?%2fReport+Folder%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=CSV&rc:Encoding=ASCII
Is there a way to have the report subscription run the report using a URL like this so it extracts it without the BOM characters?  I was thinking a data driven subscription would allow me to set the values like this, but these parameters are only pertinent
AFTER the report is run and only needed for the final rendering.  Not sure how to do this. Maybe it's not possible. If it's not, that's fine.  I just need to write a proposal to our DBA's to talk them into making a couple edits to the server config
file.
Has anyone ever worked around this before in SSRS?
Thank you!!
Dana

Hi DanaSSRS,
According to your description, you want to have some report exported into CSV file with ASCII encoding when running a subscription. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we run the subscription, it will call the Render Extension as we configured in rsreportserver.config file, we can't set the Render format with ASCII Encoding on subscription level. As you said, the Render Extension we configured
in the rsreportserver.config will apply to all reports. In this scenario, you only want that extension apply to specific reports. For your requirement, we suggest you add a custom Render Extension in configure file. You just need to copy the CSV Extension
and add a <OverrideNames/> to override a new name. Then set the <Encoding> in <Configure>. And you can select this custom Extension when creating the subscription. This might be the most effective workaround.
Reference:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

  • Is there a way to Change the Writing Speed When Burning CD-R's?

    Is there a way to change the writing speed when burning CD-R's?
    I don't see any options in Disk Utility.
    Rob
    P.S. Since I am burning coasters lately with the Pioneer DVR-111D, I though that I might solve the problem by using a lower write speed.

    I dn't believe so with Disk Utility although you can with Roxio Toast Titanium. I would try another media brand, like Verbatim, as a first step and see if the coaster problem goes away.

    I would also like this issue addressed.
    I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
    I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.

    I thought that to have a longer frame rate you just need to have a longer sample set.

  • Is there any way to get the query used in discoverer from backend??

    Hi All,
    I am new to dicoverer.
    Is there any way to get the query used in discoverer from backend??
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Hi,
    you can view the SQL from within the discoverer menu:
    in desktop: View-> SQL Inspector
    in Plus: Tools-> Show SQL
    The SQL in the DB tables is encrypted so it's a problem getting it from there.
    You can export the workbook into SQL but it is not working for every worksheet (subquery, inline pivot tables...)
    you can create a batch file to export them all using the output of this script:
    select null,null,'echo off'
    from dual
    union all
    select distinct
    qs.qs_doc_name Workbook_name,
    qs.qs_doc_details Worksheet_Name,
    'start /wait <path>\dis51usr.exe /connect '||'&p_user_name'||'/'||'&p_password'||'@'||'&p_env'||' /apps_user /apps_responsibility "&responsibility" /opendb '||
    chr(34)||qs.qs_doc_name||chr(34)||' /sheet "'||qs.qs_doc_details||'"'||' /export SQL "C:\Export Discoverer SQL\'||qs.qs_doc_name||'-'||qs.qs_doc_details||'.sql" /batch'
    from eul_us.eul5_qpp_stats qs
    where qs.qs_doc_name is not null
    --order by 1,2
    union all
    select null,null,'echo off'
    from dual
    union all
    select null,null,'exit'

  • Is there a way to retrieve the coordinates of when an iTouch was last on?  There is an app Last Alert - does anyone know if it works?

    Is there a way to retrieve the last coordinates when an ITouch was on?  Does Last Alert app work? 

    Not with the Apple FindMyiPod feature. The Last Alert app you mentioned will give you the location with low battery (20%, 10% and 5% or so).
    There may be other apps that will do it periododically without having to have a low battery.
    This app will send its location every hour.

    Note, the iPod has to be connected to the internet.

  • Is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)

    Hello all,
    is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)?
    how to ensure that only 100 Threads are running in an Application?
    Thanks
    Mohamed Javeed

    You should definitely use a thread pool for this. You can specify maximum number of threads that can be run. Be note that the thread pool will only limit the number of threads that are submitted to it. So donot call "Thread"s start() method to start thread on your own. Submit it to the pool. To know more, study about executor service and thread pool creation. Actually it will not be more than 20 line code for a class and you might need maximum of 2 such classes, one for threadPool and other one for rejection handler (if you want).
    Just choose the queue used carefully, you just have to pass it as a parameter to the pool.
    You should use "Bounded" queue for limiting threads, but also be careful in using queues like SynchronizedQueue as the queue will execute immediately the threads submitted to it if maximum number of threads have not been running. Otherwise it will reject it and you should use rejection handler. So if your pool has a synchronized queue of size 100, if you submit 101th thread, it will be rejected and is not executed.
    If you want some kind of waiting mechanism, use something like LinkedBlockingQueue. What this will do is even if you want 100 threads, you can specify the queue's size to be 1000, so that you can submit 1000 threads, only 100 will run at a time and the remaining will wait in the queue. They will be executed when each thread already executing will complete. Rejection occurs only when the queue oveflows.

  • Trying to find the URL used when installing Flash player via ActiveX pop-up

    I'm trying to determine what URL would be used when a customer clicks on the Activex Pop-up to install Flash player. 
    I've found a document that indicates the URL used when updating Flash Player via the Auto updater, but I think they are different URLs....  Can anyone help?

    thanks guys for the replies.
    Just to clarify, I am in no way having troubles installing Flash player.  I'm a tech specialist, and have been for many years.  I am fully able and aware of how to update Flash player.
    What I am trying to get is the URL that would be used when a client click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" ActiveX Pop-up.
    thanks for the URLs you sent, and I do have those, I'm just wondering if any can confirm "as for sure as possible" what URL is used with that ActiveX Pop up.
    Our corporate has several web-based products that do NOT work with th emost recent version of Flash Player.
    We are trying to find all possible Flash Player installer URLS that are used, so we can block them on our Proxy server.
    Thanks again for everyone's reply, and if anyone knows for sure the info I need, please let me know

  • Is there any way to affect the progress of availability (iTunes cloud services) for my country?

    I am a Norwegian iTunes user, and have purchased various songs on various devices (MabBook, iPhone, iMac).
    I'm getting sick and tired of not being able to sync my purchases to all devices.
    - Is there any way to provoke the progress of getting services like Match in my country too?

    Primarely i was thinking about http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085.
    But i think the lack of automatic downloads is an automatic result of not being able to use the cloud for music/video.
    You might not be aware of this, but there's currently no way for me (and many others) to have the same files on more than one device (unless paying for another copy).

  • Is there a way to open the main browser when only the download window is open ?

    Many times I have closed the browser by accident, or when to many windows are open and just cleaning up... normally this happens when a download is being done and then when trying to open the browser again it is not allowed for an instance is already running. Is there a way to open the browser back up just from the download window ?? This does cause the pausing and retry of the download of course, but when doing large files ... gigers, many times I have lost it completely, is there a way around this besides the obvious do not close ?

    I know of no way to re-open Firefox in your case. However, you can set a preference that will give you a pop-up message when a download is in progress, then you have 2 options presented; continue with closing Firefox which will cancel the download or cancel closing Firefox and the download will continue. This way one last Firefox browser window remains open along with the download window.
    To have Firefox warn you when a download is in progress and you choose File > Exit, change a preference:
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/location bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
    #right-click (OSX: Cmd+click) on that preference
    #choose Modify
    #enter a new value of 2
    #click OK
    #you may need to restart Firefox for the change to take effect

  • Is there a way to open the mic using apple remote desktop

    Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?

    Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
    You would have to launch software that would accept audio from the microphone and transmit it to you in some fashion. ARD does not transmit audio itself. Another remote control solution such as Timbuktu might transmit audio, so you could look into that, perhaps.
    Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?
    You can install a VNC server on the PC and ARD can then take control of the system. It can be tricky to find a VNC system that will work with ARD, though, so search this forum for "VNC" for possible options. One of the applications that support Microsoft's remote desktop architecture such as their own Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or iTap Mobile RDP will probably work better, though.

  • Is there a way to change the addresses used in an existing iMessage thread?

    This is kind of a multi-part question. Let me describe my scenario.
    I have many iMessage threads with other iPhone users where the "reply" addresses for one or both ends are the phone *numbers* instead of AppleID email addresses. (This could be due to a number of factors... either they had their "Start new conversations from" address set to their phone number, and/or they started a new conversation with me sending it to my phone number. How it *got* that way doesn't really matter). I want to be able to change the addresses of the conversation to AppleID's (so that I'll still get messages when I change SIM cards, among other reasons).
    With iOS 8's new ability to add/remove people from conversations, I thought I would be able to add the AppleID address and remove the phone number address, but there are two problems with that: 1) iOS 8 seems to only allow this for conversations which began as multi-person conversations, and 2) it doesn't seem to want to let you add addresses for people who are already recipients via another address (in other words, if Alice is already on the conversation via her phone number, I can't add her AppleID to the conversation). I guess I could remove the person first, and then re-add them with the other address... but I'd feel safer if I could add the next one before removing the first one.
    I know I could just tell the other person to delete our thread and start a new one, but I don't want to lose all of our dialogue and pictures (and I don't want to have to manually save it).
    So, the questions:
    Is there a way to change the address my counterparty is sending to when they make further replies to our conversation?
    Is there a way to change the address I send to when I make further replies to the conversation?
    Is there a way to change the default address to use when trying to send someone an iMessage? (What I'm after here is a way to craft my "contact" entry in people's phones so that, when they try to send a message to me and start typing my name, my preferred address comes up on top).
    As it looks like the only way to do this might be to use iOS 8's method of adding/removing recipients, is there a way of converting a two-person conversation into a multi-person one?

    I think I may have solved it, actually.  I find that if I switch the timecode to NDF in the source viewer, it seems to work.  I have tried it on three clips and they have sync'd without problems.  Hopefully this will continue to be the case.

  • Iphone 3GS was dropped and will not turn on or respond to USB connection.  Is there any way to extract the data off when it is not responding so that I can restore to my new phone?

    The phone is physically intact, but you can see the LCD is cracked behond the glass. I have tried plugging it in, tried putting it on the charger, and resetting it using the off and home buttons, bit response. I don't need the phone to work, but I do need to be bale to back it up in order to restore to the new phone.  Is there any way to extract the data or back up the hard drive without repairing the phone?  Just curious what my options are before I spend cash trying to fix the phone and find out there was another way to get the data.  Any thoughts here or should a good repair shop being able to create a backup somehow?

    Im not going to be much help because I don't know of anything else to besides take it somewhere that fixes electronics and see if they can get it off some how maybe if you take it to an apple store they can do something to get your information.

  • Is there a way to keep the ADL open when testing CS5.5 Air apps after it loses focus?

    When I test Air applications (specifically targeting mobile) it seems that when the ADL (Air Debug Launcher) launches, it will automatically terminate the session when I click on anything else other than the ADL window.  I have been trying to use 3rd party application debuggers that provide improved memory diagnostics, but these debuggers only seem to be able to work when the application is launched through the Flash Player and not through the ADL.  Unfortunately, the Air specific code will only work in the ADL.  Is there some way to keep the ADL running even when it loses focus?  I have tried using the ADL from the Flash CS5.5 IDE as well as from the command line and both will terminate upon losing focus.

    - Transfer the app to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also update the iPod.
