Managed Metadata in Report Builder

hi
Is it possible to use managed metadata as a parameter in report builder 3.0?
thanks

Hello,
The "Web layout " is something new in Reports 9.0.2 , and if you open RDF created with 6i, the web layout is empty .
Did you try to execute your reports using the icon "Run Paper Layout" ?
Do you see the output in this case ?

  • Managed Metadata - Usage Reports

    Hello Community !
    I would like to know if there is an option to create SharePoint integrated reports (Out of the Box or 3rd party), to display what kind of managed Metadata had been used and how often.
    The report should display:
    All existing TermGroups
    All existing TermSets
    All existing Terms and Subterms (if any)
    and their corresponding values to be able to see tendencies and trends about the different terms. This data is needed to analyse the usage of metadata in general and for further enhancements.
    It would be more important to receive significant values than the ability to create nice graphics.
    Does anybody know if there is a solution for this approach.
    Thanks in advance
    -Gabriel

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create Usage Reports to display what kind of managed Metadata had been used and how often.
    We can get the Usage of Managed Metadata through the logs.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference. It used SPAuditQuery to get term usage.

  • Group Management in CF Report Builder

    Hi,
    I'd be very much grateful if somebody could pls help me solve
    this problem.
    Let's say I've got a query
    <cfquery name="qGetData" datasource="myDSN">
    select fieldname from tablename
    </cfquery>
    The query generates e.g. 10 records.
    Now, for each fieldname to be displayed, I need to display a
    graph. Therefore I do a grouping by fieldname from the Report ->
    Group Management menu, where I can also specify to Start a new page
    when the group value changes. This is ok. I don't have any problem
    with that.
    Now in the report builder, is it possible to do the grouping
    so that instead of displaying 1 fieldname per page, 2 records are
    displayed per page?
    i.e. Page 1 gets records 1 & 2, Page 2 gets 3 & 4,
    etc...
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Yogesh Mahadnac

    "Start New Page".

  • Retrieve plan list to insert it in report builder

    Hello,
    I’m using TFS2013 with Visual Studio 2013, Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) and Report Builder 3.0. I’d like to get the lists of tests planned in MTM and show it in a report (with other things). In Report Builder, I create a DataSet (DS_Suite), where I use these
    fields:
    Suite Path ->Test Suite
    Title -> Test case
    Outcome -> Test Result
    Point Count Trend -> Measures/Test
    I also use a parameter: Test Plan / Test Plan Name.
    I use the Table wizard to create a simple table. I put the Suite Path and the Title in the Row group, and Outcome in Value.
    When I execute the Report, I enter the name of the Plan, and I get a list. Let’s say I created a small suite in MTM, with some tests as Passed, others as failed, and even one is set as active. The suite is called Iteration22. In my report I have an entry
    with the suite path as Iteration22, and one as Unknown. The lists of tests in either suites are almost the same, except the unknown doesn’t have the test set as active. In the Iteration22 suite, the outcome isn’t right, it’s almost only set as Never Run, some
    as Failed. In the Unknown suite, the outcome is the correct info, exception of the missing test set as active.
    Does anyone know how to correctly retrieve a Plan and insert it in a report? I’ve got it almost right, I’m missing something? Where am I mistaken?
    Thanks for the help,
    Hinibi

    Hi Hinibi, 
    Thanks for your post.
    Your custom report looks right and use the correct fields.
    If think that report data is not correct, please refresh your TFS cube, after refreshed, rerun your custom report and view report data. And you can check the test case data in Tfs_Warehouse database to view what fact test case data stored in Warehouse tables,
    please refer to xiaohundan’s answer reply in this post:

  • SSRS 2012 - Multiple values for filtering (shown while editing in Report Builder) disappear in Report Manager view

    Hi,
    I have a multiple value parameter, with four specified default values (integers). When opening my report in Edit mode in the Report
    Builder, and then pressing "run", I can see the default parameters in the upper section on the screen, and they are acting fine on the report. However, when opening the report from the Report
    Manager (by double clicking it from there), the default values have disappeared and I have to fill them in manually. However, the values are not 100% forgotten, because when opening the "manage" section using the drop down
    menu in the Report Manager, my default values are there, shown in the list.
    Did I do something wrong? Is this a bug? What can I do to solve this?
    Nb.:
    I'm using SSRS 2012
    Dataset created by the query "select parameterID from table group by parameterID"
    The full set of parameters are collected by using the above dataset as input for "get values from a query" in "available values"
    The default values are set by using the option "specify values" in "default values"
    Hope one of you can help me out here!
    Sietske
    Nb.: For the time being I'm now using a hard coded workaround by adding "where parameterID ='4' or parameterID = '15'" to my select query.  

    Hi Sietske,
    According to your description, there are several suggestions for your reference:
    Based on the workaround query that “where parameterID ='4' or parameterID = '15'”, it seems that the parameterID and parameter is a string type field. So please make sure the default value of the parameter is Text data type, like below:
    When you go to the Parameters tab after clicking the Manage option over the drop-down list, please enable ‘Has Default’ checkbox, and make sure the values in the ‘Default Value’ drop-down list are correct, then click Apply option.
    If the report works well when you open the report in Report Builder, please click Save or (Ctrl+S) button to save the report to report server.
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Regards,

  • Report Builder 2.0 loses parameter Null default value when deployed

    When a parameter is set to a default value of (Null) and the report is saved to the sever, the default is lost when the report is re-opened in RB2.  This problem doesn't seem to occur in BIDS.  I've tried to use an expression to set the value to System.DBNull but this can no longer be done.
    Any ideas for a work-around?
    Is there a bug report open for this?  I couldn't find an open bug on the Connections site and there's an issue on that site right now when submitting feedback.Paul Turley [Hitachi Consulting]
    SQLServerBIBlog.com

    Hi All,
    I just had an almost identical issue using report builder 3.0 so I don't believe it is fixed. I had 4 parameters set to default to (Null) and I added a new one with identical settings but it would continually come up blank and not check the null box automatically
    when going into my sub report.
    To make matters worse I experimented changing one of the old parameters and it then started exhibiting the same behaviour. Using Luke's post above solved the issue (though it was Manage in my version not Administrate).
    Using System.DBNull.Value resulted in it being treated as a literal string "System.DBNull.Value" and putting that in the filter for me.
    Hope it helps.

  • Cannot create dataset from claims based authentication sharepoint site in report builder 3.0

    Hi Foxvito,
    Claims authentication types supported by SharePoint 2010 are Windows Claims, forms-based authentication Claims, and SAML Claims. In SAML-Claims mode, SharePoint Server accepts SAML tokens from a trusted external Security Token Provider (TST). From the
    blog you referenced, it seems to use the SAML Claims authentication.
    However, the Reporting Services client applications: Report Builder, the Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio, and Management Studio do not support connecting and authenticating with LiveID or SAML Claims based SharePoint Web applications.
    That's because the SAML Claims don't use the Reporting Services authentication endpoint. So, you have to change the Claims authentication type to use Report Builder on the SharePoint site.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 Can't Edit WMI Query Code in Report Builder

    I first posted this in the SCCM but the issue is not solved so I thought I'd try here in the SQL Reporting forum. Original thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b0a6ca3d-7471-4b49-8447-7403a65c2ec0/sccm-2012-r2-cu2-cant-edit-wmi-query-code-in-sccm-reports?forum=configmanagergeneral
    I'll repost info here to make this easier.....
    I built a new SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 suite on Server 2012 R2. This also uses SQL 2012 SP1 CU6. This suite has 4 servers: site server, two for WSUS and secondary DPs, and SQL. This problem is true for the built in reports and my custom reports. Our SQL guy has
    been helping me a lot but we've gotten nowhere. I can run a report. I can open one in edit mode after it prompts me for credentials. It loads Report Builder 3.0. But when I go to a dataset/query, enter credentials, and try to open it, I get a popup that
    says "Unable to connect to data source. 'AutoGen_5C6358F2_yayak..." When I click on details it says "The target principal name is incorrect. A connection was succesfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login
    process.  (SSL Provider, error: 0 -The target principal name is incorrect.)" In SQL Reporting Services Config Manager the paths for Web Service URL is
    http://ip.ip.ip.ip:80/ReportServer_SC01 and for Report Manager URL:
    http://ip.ip.ip.ip:80/Reports_SC01. A domain account is used to login. This happens when you r-click a dataset and select query to edit the code of a dataset, ie, when query designer tries to open up. It happens
    in both Admin Console and when using the Report Manager URL within SQL SSRS. All other functions of using edit mode of a report work fine.
    Ben JohnsonWY

    When I do that, browse is dimmed out.
    But, if I deselect "create a data set" and click "choose an existing dataset in this report..." there is no data connection at the end.
    But if I don't use report builder and instead use IE to browse to my ConfigMgr_ABC, I do see the connection at the end: {123...}.
    This problem is on a network that is not on the 'net, so it's hard to do screen shots, so I'll reproduce this problem step by step:
    I pick a report to edit, it doesn't matter which one.
    If I try it in Admin Console, I right-click, Edit the report, it asks me for a login, I login, then I get a popup that says "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Contact the vendor for assistance. I click the Details button and
    get a long set of text but the key part is "Your web browser settings do not allow you to run signed applications." This msg didn't appear before, so something changed, so I will investigate. I think it used to give a SPN error.
    If I use IE within report builder and navigate to whatever report, click open, everything works, except, when I click on Dataset0 (the key one I normally need to edit), click query, it prompts me for a login and no matter which one I use, i get a popup that
    says "unable to connect to data source 'AutoGen_123...'". If I click details I get "the targe principal name is incorrect. A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider:
    SSL Provider 0-The target principal name is incorrect.)

  • SSRS Execution Account cannot be used with Report Builder

    Running SQL Server 2012 SP2, I have specified an Execution Account in Reporting Services Configuration Manager as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156302(v=sql.110).aspx
    The article states: "You can specify Integrated Security=SSPI if the database server supports Windows integrated security and the account used for unattended report processing has permission to read the database." I have created a data source using
    the Report Manager Web interface with connection string: "Data Source=<server>;Initial Catalog=<database>;Integrated Security=SSPI" and "Connect using: Credentials are not required" option.
    The Execution Account is a domain user account with db_owner membership on the database in question. When I "Test Connection" in Report Manager, the connection is created successfully.
    However, when I attempt to create a new dataset using this data source in Report Builder, I am unable to connect to the data source: "You have specified integrated security or credentials in the connection string for the data source, but the data source
    is configured to use a different credential type. To use the values in the connection string, you must configure the unattended report processing account for the report server."
    If I change the "connect using" option for the data source to "Windows integrated security" I can successfully create a new dataset and report in Report Builder. After saving the report, I reconfigure the data source for "Credentials
    are not required" and I am able to successfully run the report using the Execution Account.
    Is this a known limitation? The Report Builder cannot be used with an unattended Execution Account configured?

    Hi desmondgc,
    According to your description, you have set the execution account for connecting data source. You can connect data source successfully, but can't create dataset with the unattended account. Right?
    As we tested in our local environment, we encountered the same issue. Even testing connection successfully in Report Builder, it still says unable connect to data source when creating dataset.
    For this issue,  I would recommend to submit it to the Microsoft Connect at this link
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback.
    This connect site will serve as a connecting point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the large community for you and Microsoft to interact with. Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you
    can learn more about and contribute to the exciting projects on Microsoft Connect.

  • MS Report Builder Data Source Missing

    Hi,
    Simply, when I log onto my server with a local or domain admin and open report Builder, I right click
    on Data Sources and choose add. I choose the one (only one) in the list and test (successfully) the connection.
    However, no other users see the Data source and trying to create one fails. They are local administrators. They have been added as admins in SQL and the DBs. I have rechecked all the permissions and the user has full admin rights to the server, SQL and DBs.

    Hi Analog-Kid,
    According to your description, when users click “Edit in Report Builder” on report server to launch click-once report builder, if users want to add a shared data source, they can’t see the shared data source list which resides on the report server, right?
    In your scenario, please check if those users could access the Data Sources folder on the report server. If not, please grant users permission to access this folder with Content Manager role on Security page. Also please connect to report server instance
    from SSMS, then check if Manage data sources has been selected.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Need help understanding MS SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0 and user access / priviledges.

    Having Problems with connections and access.  I have spent the last 2 days reading various threads regarding SQL Reporting Services pertaining to access and connections.
    First, let me explain what I have done to date.
    1)  I am using Windows 7 - Home Premium.
    2)  I downloaded and installed MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.  This was successful.
    3)  I downloaded Report Server 3.0 - This was successful.
    4)  In IE, I tried logging onto http://servername/reports, but this failed.  After logging into IE
    via ' Run Administrator', I was able to access URL.  
           Next, I updated the security / trust sites as explained in the
    threads
    Next, I went to Folder Setting and added my user name and granted all roles (Browser,
    Content Manager, My
    Reports, Publisher and Report Builder).
    5)  Now, I can log into Http://servername/reports using my normal windows 7 user account.
    6)  Next, I opened Report Builder 3.0.  However, I am having trouble connecting to report  
    server.  I tried connecting with
    http://servername/reports, but this failed. 
           However, If I change URL to http://servername/reportserver, it works.  BUT NOW, I have
    another problem.  When I
    execute the RUN button to create report, I get a  permission
    error.  "PERMISSION GRANTED TO USER ARE
    INSUFFICIENT FOR  PERFORMING THIS OPERATION".
    7)  Finally, I can not save reports to http://servername/reportserver when I select "Recent
    Site and Servers".  ERROR
    MESSAGE:  UNABLE TO OPEN OR SAVE REPORT
    8)  In my Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
    Web URL = http://servername:80/ReportServer
    Report Manager URL = http://servername:80/reports.
                What is strange, the Report Manager URL works for IE URL and WEB URL works for
    Report Builder connect (Even though it really does not work). 
    THREE QUESTIONS:
    1)  What URL should I use to connect in Report Builder.  
    2)  How do I update my normal Windows 7 user so I can run reports when I connect to report
    builder.        
    3)  How can I save my reports so they are displayed in IE Reporting services.  Note:  I was
    able to save report to
    documents folder and import into IE Reporting Services.
    4)  And finally, is it possible to add report builder 3.0 as a tab in my IE Reporting Services.  I
    save seen samples of Reporting Services screens where the instructor has Report Builder
    tab.
    Thanks
    Dan

    To answer question 1... it should connect through /ReportServer
    http://bretstateham.com/reporting-services-architecture-diagram%E2%80%A6/
    Report Builder 3.0 is not a web application, it is a client side application can be used using the click-once or downloaded from Microsoft's website.  If you are having issues, you might download and install it and try running it as an administrator.

  • Report builder connect to datasource outside of the network

    Hi,
    Locally, we installed report server on Machine (A) and the sql Server on Machine (B).
    My machine is also in the same network and via Report builder i can connect to report server and create shared dataset.
    but outside of network, when i use report builder i can connect to report server but i cannot create shared dataset : there is window appears titled "Enter data source credentials" demanding to enter login/password.
    I entered the same login/password defined in datasource created in report server but i obtained this message:
    "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
    (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
    how i can resolve it ?

    Disabling the windows firewall doesn't mean that there isn't a network firewall.  Try using a port scanning utility from outside your network to see if the port is being filtered (behind a firewall), listening, or being blocked.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24009
    You'll need to scan the port have configured for your report server URL, found through reporting server configuration manager in the advanced settings. Typically this is going to be port 80 or 443, but it could have been adjusted to something else, like
    8080.

    First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
    Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
    The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable.  However,
    all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting.  And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
    The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
    When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model.  Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report. 
    If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report.  This does not seem end user friendly at all!
    We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
    2+.  Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
    We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources.  So we would have to build the Datasets for them.  But in that case, what point is there in creating any
    Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
    As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
    What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

    In your scenario, you want to use Report Builder 1.0 in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, I am afraid this cannot achieve. Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. It is not available as a separate client apps and is
    only available as a click once application.
    Report Builder 1.0
    Report Builder 3.0
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Report Builder 2.0 User Password Change Issue

    A user changed her password (domain account) this morning and can no longer open the query designer (we are using an SSAS data source) or run a report in Report Builder 2.0.  She can still access the SSRS front end report manager reports with no issue (and she enters her new password). 
    When clicking Run for a report in the Report Builder 2.0 the following error message displays:
    The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
    When trying to open the Query Builder for a dataset in the Report Builder 2.0 the following error message displays:
    An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
    Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. 
    A connection cannot be made.  Ensure that the server is running.
    The security log in the applicaiton event log on the report server logs the following with each failed attempt:
    Unknown user name or bad password.
    Three other users have recently reset their passwords and had no issue with Report Builder 2.0.  I am thinking that her password may be cached or saved within Report Builder 2.0 and it keeps using her old password.  I have had the user reboot and uninstall/reinstall Report Builder 2.0 but neither fixed the issue.  It appears after uninstalling that all application data was not removed as recent reports show after reinstalling and I was not prompted for login credentials again.  I had our domain admin reset her password back to what it was before she changed her password and all issues in Report Builder 2.0 went away and she could use the Query Builder and run the reports.  I need to figure out how to let her change her password and have Report Builder 2.0 work though.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    Sorry, going to Options > Settings and clicking "Clear all recent item lists" didn't work for me.  My login credentials are still cached, and I'm not prompted to log in, when I launch Report Builder.
    I'm running Win7 Professional, IE10.  I cleared my browser cache as my first attempt to clear the login, but that didn't work.  I even cleared again, making sure to select to clear stored passwords/logins, but that didn't clear it, either.
    Best regards,
    Brad
