Link from SSRS Report to a Project Gantt, Focusing on a Task

Hi,
We are using Server 2010 SP 2 (and considering moving to 2013).
We have an SSRS grid report in which each row relates to a task in a project on the server.
We would like to add to each row in the report a link that will open the project and focus on the relevant task. The project can be opened either in Professional, Project Center or Project Site (any will
satisfy, as long as the user sees the task in a Gantt context).
Is this possible in 2010? Is this possible in 2013?
Thanks,
Barak

Hi, 
you can easily create a hyper link to project site of that particular project, but unfortunately you are limited to redirect to that project's particular schedule PDP only not to your desire view.
so once the user will click on link, he/she will be redirected to project site's view which they have opened last time as PS always opens the last view in-use by the user. so there is chance that instead of task related view, they may see resource/assignment
etc etc view.
If above is OK with you then great, simply create a ssrs column to redirect to something similar like this: http://<server-name>/<PWA-Instance>project detail pages/schedule.aspx?projuid=<projduid>
in case above is not satisfactory, then you may need to create another ssrs report to be accessed from that parent report to show you your required results. but then it wont be a gantt view, instead you can show another tabular/graphics report to show required
data.
so basically its a trade-off between options :)
hope this helps.

  • Can we update the data from SSRS report to any database ?

    Hi Team,
    Greetings !!!!
    Can we update the data from SSRS report to any database ?
    Thanks,
    Anand Gavle.

    Nope SSRS doesnt have write back options. Its just a reporting tool
    However one thing you can do is to link a webpage from SSRS report and do the changes through it
    SSRS has the ability to navigate to web page through which you can capture any data inputs from users and save it to your db.

  • Need help on executing ssis package from ssrs report

    i want to develop a load test tool.
    we do load test on beta servers i need to capture server statistics during load test and make a report out of it.
    basically as a tool to start and stop capturing server info from ssrs report.
    Any help is highly appreciated !!

    Whats the need of a report for starting and stopping of jobs here? Isnt it enough to capture the details from MSDB system tables or SSISDB tables (in case of 2012) for capturing the details. The package execution can be done using procedures/t-sql scripts
    using sp_start_job or  catalog.create_execution procedure

  • Deactivate a link from a report

    Is it possible to deactivate a link from a report? Here is the problem I am facing. I have a database that will be used by 6 people and I am using a report to display records to be worked. So, when one user clicks on a record to make edits, I want to ensure that the other 5 users can't select the same record. I am trying to keep users from doing duplicate work and having an error message given to the user who doesn't save the record first. I didn't know if it was possible to do a conditional link by checking the session to see if the record is currently called up? Any help would be appreciated.

    Simplistically:
    When you "pull up" your record to edit, you can write a onload process to set a flag on that record with the user/timestamp to indicate that the record is locked. When the record is saved back to the database, have the save process clear this flag.
    Of course, in a real-world situation, many other factors have to be considered, as Scott was alluding to...
    What happens if User pulls up the record and his browser crashes, he leaves the page without saving or goes for lunch or ...? No other user will be able to edit that record. This is generally considered a "non scalable" design, but if it works for you, go ahead!

  • Open PDF File from Link on SSRS Report REDUX

    Revisiting an earlier post here, because a solution is revealed. 
    The string below, when entered into the "Jump to URL" value on the Navigation tab for Textbox properties, works IN A REPORT PUBLISHED to a Report Server.  This would NOT work in the Visual Studio project on my desktop.
    ="
    FILE:\\somehost.com\SomeFolder\SomPDF.pdf"
    Unfortunately, it opens the PDF file on the same browser tab as the SSRS report that contains the link to the file. 
    Can anyone please suggest an alternative construction for the string that would force the file to open in either a new browser window or a new tab in the current window?

    How about trying this
    =
    "javascript:void(window.open('FILE:\\somehost.com\SomeFolder\SomPDF.pdf'))"

  • Can I link from Interactive report Page 1 to Master Detail page 2?

    Hi folks-
    I know how to create a Page as an Interactive Report; it creates 2 pages automatically (primary page with the great interactive bar) and a 2nd page that's a single record.
    I know how to create a Page as Master Detail, whereby I get a tabular list without the super interactive bar, and I can select a record, and get transported to a nice page with 2 regions (master on top, detail on bottom).
    I want to have the First page from the Interactive Report, select the record, and go to the 2nd page of a MasterDetail.
    Do I create the Interactive Report, and customize the 2nd page, to add a region?
    Or, do I create both page types, and redirect from the 1st page of the Interactive Report to the DML Form from the MD report? I tried that, re-assigning the link from the Interactive Report to be a Link to Custom Target, and specify the page # of the Master-Detail page. And it is taking me to the right page, but the data from the selected row is not coming with me, and the detail in the bottom region is not appearing at all.
    Can someone please give me a nudge as to the sequence I should be doing?
    (As you can tell, I'm new to Apex.... I'm trying to use it to create a prototype or proof-of-concept for a database driven web application)
    Thank you
    Marion

    Yes, I tried that after I wrote to you - and it's fine, but not what I'm after; it's only based on 1 table and I'm working with 2 tables.
    Perhaps I can explain in better.
    I want one page as an interactive tabular report (of the master records)
    I want to select a row, and transfer to a page that has the corresponding row on top (as a form), and a tabular region below of records from a related detail table.
    ie, I want page 1 from the Interactive Report, and page 2 of the Master Detail report.
    OK - I just took the form page, and added a region below in a tabular report. And I'm getting the data, but I'm getting all the records (not just the ones associated with the single record on top. I figure I need to edit the Region Definition->Source (to specify that the id numbers need to match), but the code is not editable.....
    So I am in Structured Query Attributes, and I've Modified the Join Conditions - but I still get all the detail records in the bottom region. I''m trying to add in the ( + ) qualifier, but it doesn't affect anything...
    I'm soo close to what i'm trying to do!
    Thank you for your continued patience and assistance
    Marion
    here's the Source I have for the region..... (I'm including the excess ID columns just for learning purposes)
    SELECT
    "PHONENUMBERS"."PHONE_ENTITY_ID" "PHONE_ENTITY_ID",
    "ENTITIES"."ENTITY_ID" "ENTITY_ID",
    "ENTITIES"."FIRSTNAME" "FIRSTNAME",

  • Date issue when exporting data to Excel from SSRS report, where date is less than 1/1/1900

    Hi,
    I am using SSRS report to display the data from database. In that data, One of the column is DATE. when I am exporting to Excel all that dates are displaying fine except 1/1/1800 12:00 AM. Instead of 1/1/1800 12:00 AM it is displaying XXXXXXXXXXXXXX values.
    Please help me to fix the issue.
    Please let me know if more clarification required.
    Thanks In advance.

    Hello,
    We can use Cstr() function to convert the Date type data to String data. Suppose we have a field named DateTime, please refer to the expression below:
    =Cstr(Fields!DateTime.Value)
    Then we can get a string type data. There is an article about SSRS expression, you can refer to it.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

  • Link from BIP report to P6RiskModule

    A client of mine is running BI Publisher 11g. In BIP they have a report summarizing the risk against a project. This report is displayed in a BIP Dashboard. The client would like a link in the report that would take them directly to the P6RiskModule. The usernames and passwords for BIP and P6 are identical, so ideally the link should log the user into P6 and display the risk details as entered in P6.
    Can anyone assist?

  • Link from a report to another report

    Hi all,
    I have created a report called GROUPS with GROUPNO as the first column. And I have another report based on SQL query that shows the details for a group and takes the GROUPNO as an input variable. I have created a link from the first report to the second report.
    The problem is that when I run the first report, and when I click on the GROUPNO from the list of groups, the target report is called but no rows are selected. When I point the mouse cursor to one of the GROUPNO, and I look at the breowser status bar, I see that the p_arg_names containts the parameter name but the p_arg_values is empty.
    Any help?

    Hi Sharmila,
    The mapping is already done and the p_arg_names in the status bar shows the p_arg_names=groupno , only the p_arg_values is not taking the value in the field groupno which cause the target report to fail.

  • Changing fields in form opened in query mode via a link from a report

    I have a summary report which allows me to access a form via a link: The form opens up with its fields populated with the corresponding record from the report.
    Can additional code be added to the after displaying page section of the form such that some of the fields can be assigned with different values from those in the original record? If so, can anyone offer some sample code for this?

    Hi,
    You can access and set the values of the columns in forms by using certain apis. All the columns in the form are available in the session which can be accessed and set.
    Sample Code
    declare
    flightno number;
    ticketno varchar2(30);
    tdate date;
    persons number;
    blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
    begin
    flightno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
    ticketno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
    tdate := p_session.get_value_as_date(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE');
    persons := p_session.get_value_as_number(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_NOF_PERSONS');
    p_session.set_value(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHTNO',
    p_value => to_char(NULL)
    p_session.set_value(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKETNO',
    p_value => to_char(NULL)
    p_session.set_value(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE',
    p_value => to_char(NULL)
    end;
    The above code sets and gets value of the form fields. The form field is accessed by prefixing "A" to the form column name. For example if the column name is "DEPTNO" then to access or set value to it you should refer to the session variable "A_DEPTNO".
    Thanks,
    Sharmila

  • Link from OBI report/OBI Answers to other application

    Hi,
    We want to add a link from the OBI report / OBI Answers to our application. Is there a way to create a link on the values displayed and pass values as parameter on that link?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    You can create a hyperlink within a column formula in Answers. You can use Go Url to pass multiple parameters as well. Check out the OBIEE presentation Services Administration Guide (Chapter 11 I believe).
    We have created dynamic hyperlinks in BI report that invokes an Apex page as well.
    Hopefully the following link will help.
    Dyanmic display of the Image Link URL
    Also search the forum.
    Hope this helps. Award points if helpful.

  • Hyperlink from SSRS Report

    Hi , I run ssrs reports form my VB application the hyperlink Does not open. When I run the same report from the server the hypelink opens normaly. Any Suggestion?
    Thanks
    Luis

    Hi Luiso,
    Do you mean the hyperlinks generated by the “Go to URL” or “Go to Report” action in the report? Do you use ReportViewer control in your VB .NET application? Are there any parameters passed from the custom application to the hyperlink URL? Could you post
    the URL of the hyperlink?
    Here, I suggest that you delete the report from the report server, and re-deploy it. If it doesn’t work, please post more information for further analysis.

  • Link from QBE-report to form not working when published as portlets

    I've created a simple QBE-report where I've linked (using a LINK) keyvalues to a detail FORM. Query and linking and automatically display of selected record works fine in the App.builder, - but when I publish the elements as portlets and access the QBE-report as a portlet on a page, - the link fails, no keyvalues are passed to the detail form. It only shows up blank.
    What am I missing here?
    Thankful for any hint.
    Regards,
    Haakon Eide
    [email protected]

    This is strange, - made the same report again, this time as a sql-query (not QBE) - and linked the report and form together exactly as before - this time the link works when using the report as a portlet.
    The QBE-report generates empty parameterstrings (i.e. foo=&bar=&) when run as portlet on a page. Is this a bug?
    Running Portal 3.0.9 on iAS 1.0.2.2.
