Performance Point Dashboard Designer filter and SSRS parameter problem

I've created reports in SSRS, with parameters, but can't get the filter in Performancepoint to have any affect on the SSRS parameter/reports. My SSRS reports are using shared datasets I've created, with no cubes. My SSRS parameter is text data type.
In the Dashboard Content window, I have the filter in the header, and have drug (at different times) the display value and the member unique name to the report.
In this header area (with filter), clicking the down arrow, there is no Edit Connection option. Should there be? Or would that only be to connect to a higher up filter? When clicking Create Connection, under the Items tab, 'get values from' lists header
and Date and is greyed out, I can put the report name in 'send values to', but under Connect To, there are no options. Why? And the OK button is greyed out.
In the report area, the filter name (Date) is listed underneath Connections. And right clicking the filter for this connection and clicking Edit Connection, under the Items tab, under 'get values from', it says header and Date, and under 'send values to',
zone 1 - and the report name is listed. Under the Values tab, the parameter name (DateNameParm) is listed in the Connect To, and I've tried both member unique name and display value for source value.
There's another thread on here titled "Performance Point - Dashboard Filter Not Working with SSRS Reporting Parameters" (won't let me post link), where someone here says they had to change the filter data type
from GUID, but I see no place to do this.

Hi Roberto,
Dashboard layout and sizing in PerformancePoint is very flexible. This article covers nearly all of the sizing options available, one basic dashboard page scenario and a few common questions.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2008/01/07/performancepoint-dashboard-sizing-explained.aspx
Please go to the last question and answer: “filters are locked to auto-sizing,
so their width will override the size of their parent zone. Minimum filter width may be adjusted in the ParameterTree.css file. See the article
Working with the Monitoring CSS Files to Adjust Settings in Deployed Dashboards on the PerformancePoint team blog for more detail.”
As a best practice, put dashboard filters in a separate zone from where you put reports and scorecards. Otherwise, items such as chart legends or reports might not be displayed correctly.

"Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct". Performance Point Dashboard Designer (SP 2013), SSRS 2012 Report.

Hello Everybody,
I am using Sharepoint server 2013 , SQL Server 2012 SP1, PerfomancePoint and Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode.
I built one report in SSDTusing an Analysis Services Cube. This report has 3 parameters. So the idea is use Dashboard Designer to use this SSRS Report and connect it with some PP Filters.
The issue is that I am always obtaining "Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have the following settings in the PP Report:
Server Mode: SharePoint Integrated
SharePoint Site: http://MySharrepointSite:PortNumber/sites/bicenter
Document library : Documents (selected from drop down, my report is deployed to document library)
Report : report.rdl
When I select the report from drop down list its giving the error in a pop up message box as "Unable
to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have tried to use the most simple report, only with one parameter, but is always displaying the error above.
When I open the report directly from documents library its working fine and even it is working fine (
when I deployed the report) but the issue is parameters are not showing.
Any idea? Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService.
Hello Tom,
It should be "ReportServer" in the URL, not "ReportService".
In "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" look up the correct URL. Open Internet Explorer with right-mouse click => "Run as Administrator" and open the URL, this should work. Navigate to "Side setting" (on top right side),
go to tab "Security" and add your account with role "System Administrator". Afterwards you should be able to open the URL without running IE as admin.

SSRS Report inserted in Performance Point Dashboard fails to display when accessing through https.

Hi,
I have a annoying issue : I created a SSRS 2008 R2 (SP Integrated) Report using report builder, I inserted it in a performance point dashboard and everything runs fine, on the SP Server. It means, when i'm accessing everything using local adress and
http protocol, it works fine. But once i'm accessing from my machine using SSL, the report is not displayed. I get first a warning asking me if I allow IE to display unsecure content, then the web part stays empty for a few second and finaly IE throws an "Internet
Explorer cannot display the webpage" in the webpart. I've been trying to put the https URL of the report in the PP Dashboard Designer but I get an unable to connect error. What is suprising me is that I do not have this issue with the report
itself, it works perfectly on the server and on clients.
Knowing that it is forbidden to connect to the server with designer tools from the clients, I'm in a dead end...
Anyone had this kind of issue?
Thanks!
Maxime

Do you generate a GUID error message with this error? I suspect the problem will be more on the access than the item itself.

Performance point dashboard slow in rendering

Hi,
we have some performancepoint dashboard deployed on SharePoint 2010. These dashboard access an olap cube and display some data from cube.
Sometimes rendering of dashboard is slow. Analyzing pages using developer dashboard we found that when rendering is slow we have a lot time spent in wcf calls to performancepoint services.
For instance we spent 30 seconds in one wcf method call to GetFilterDisplayData method.
If we run profiler in sql we don't see any query on analysis during these slow calls, so we assume there are some problems in wcf calls to PerformancePoint Service.
Also we looked to this article for applying some caching settings:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2010/04/16/a-general-caching-overview-for-performance-point-services-for-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Pages' filters don't contain too much data except for time filter that is a multi select tree filter that contains all days from January 2010 until today.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

lookalike MSFT know about this potential performance, i think you need WCF throttling.
WCF throttling settings
PerformancePoint Services is implemented as a WCF service. WCF limits the maximum number of concurrent calls as a service throttling behavior. Although long-running queries could hit this bottleneck, this is an
uncommon bottleneck. Monitor the WCF / Service Model performance counter calls outstanding for PerformancePoint Services and compare to the current maximum number of concurrent calls.
If needed, change the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) throttling behavior. See the WCF
service throttling behaviors (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=200612) and Wenlong Dong’s blog post on WCF Request Throttling
and Server Scalability (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=200613).

Performance Point 2007. Filter seems to split query

Hi all,
I am having an issue with a performance point 2007 filter. It is based on a hierarchy of 4 levels. Total amount of records is under 500 (about 450) so i shouldnt have the filter limit issue.
However the filter is stopping about 3/4 the way through the list on our production server (QA and Dev are fine). I have looked for the filter limit in web config - cant find it on any server.
So I have run SQL profiler on the cube while running PP. I can see the queries come in and its splitting the filter query into two queries in exactly the point where we are seeing the missing data.
Any ideas why?
Many thanks
Dan

No the issues is still not resolved but I convienced my client to use alternate option which is SSRS Reports with MDX.
Even I tried the below configuration but issues not resolved

Mail sieve filter and Return-path problem

I want replace return-path header for one particular user when receive email. I use only sun convergence for send mail.
imta.cnf
! ims-ms
ims-ms defragment notices 1 7 14 21 28 backoff "pt5m" "pt10m" "pt30m" "pt1h" "pt2h" "pt4h" maxjobs 2 pool IMS_POOL fileinto $U+$S@$D destinationfilter /opt/sun/comms/messaging/config/imta.filter
ims-ms-daemon imta.filter
require ["editheader"];
if header :contains "from" ["[email protected]"] {
deleteheader "Return-path";
addheader "Return-path" "[email protected]";
}When I send email from anonymous i want delete old Return-path and add new return-path. The problem is that i see on header the new return-path but i see the old also.
It's possible delete the default return-path ?
Thank's

You should not use "imta.filter" as the destinationfilter file-name. imta.filter is the reserved for the MTA-wide sieve filter file-name:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Mail+Filtering+and+Access+Control#MailFilteringandAccessControl-ToCreateMTAWideFilters
When I send email from anonymous i want delete old Return-path and add new return-path. The problem is that i see on header the new return-path but i see the old also. The "Return-Path:" header is automatically added by the MTA after the sieve filter has been evaluated which is why you get two Return-Path: headers in the resultant message.

Shane.

with these unqualified (not prefixed to be specific to this portlet instance) parameter names, you will have to update your provider.xml file to set the <passAllUrlParams> to true.

Paper Design Printing and PDF printing problem

I'm using Report Builder 9.0.2.0.3 to create a report that I create a frame , in the frame i cut and pasted text by clicking on the A then pasting the text into it.
I then created a frame with that was at the next level in the object manger with a hyperlink in it. This fame was at the level where the text was that I pasted in the paragraph above. I placed it in the PaperLayout where I wanted it and ran the paper report and it look just fine in the PaperDesign Layout and all so when I create the PDF format and the link works in PDF. But when I print the paperlayout the link prints down a few lines on the page. When I print it through the PDF browser, it prints ok, only the paperlaout has a problems. I pasted the whole page of text before I placed the link where I wanted it.
Is there something else I can try? Appreciate any suggestions or explain, why it moves.
I even got the link to be the color blue.

If I understand the question correctly, you have a static boilerplate text which has some paragraphs. To add hyperlink to some part of the text(not the whole text object), you are placing a frame on top of that particular line of text.
When you Run to Previewer
(or File->Preview Format->PDF/HTMLCSS/..), Report uses screen surface for Fonts and you see it correctly.
However, when you print it from Reports or do File->Generate to File->PDF/HTMLCSS/.., Reports uses the default printer's Fonts for formatting. This means that there could be a slight difference in how the text is formatted in the output as the font metrics for the text might be different. The frame containing the hyperlink might be in the same place where it was placed, however the text might have formatted differently. The text which was overlapping with the frame might have formatted little above or below the frame.
To solve this, instead of using separate frame for hyperlinking texts, you can divide your text and create separate boilerplate text objects for the text which needs to be hyperlinked. You can set the hyperlink property in the Property Inspector of this object. This way, the hyperlinks will be proper in all cases.

Siva

Performance Point - need to limit permissions to Sharepoint lists

I set up Performance Point Dashboard Designer.
And as per Microsoft's instructions, I set up an Unattended Service Account for the Performance Point Service Application.
And I gave this account read permissions under the Web Application's "User Policy".
However, this gives a user access to see all sharepoint lists when they're creating a data source.
When a user is creating a data source in Dashboard Designer, I want to limit their permissions to SharePoint lists to only what they normally have access to on the SharePoint sites.
How can I configure Performance Point service application another way , instead of using an unattended service account?
Please help!
thanks!
Also want to mention that I have Business Intelligence Centre set up as a Site Collection, and I only gave this user "Contribute" permissions, but it still gives them access to see everything in SharePoint sites when they create a data source,
which shouldn't be!!
How can I get it to reflect the same permissions that the user has in SharePoint? They shouldn't see Lists that they don't have access to.

Does anyone know how to limit permissions for Dashboard Designer??
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Color and styles of the performance point scorecard changing between designer and published version.

Greetings specialists!
I'm experiencing a problem with one of my scorecards. I designed the scorecard using performance point dashboard designer and used it to color the top level KPI letter white. The rest of the letters is using a dark grey, but when I use the socrecard in a
webpart in a performance point webpage all the letters appear colored in dark grey including the top level kpi letters which in the designer have been parametrised to use white.
Is it some sort of problem or known bug? It there any reason that can explain this erratic behaviour? Maybe it's inheriting the style from something else??! Any ideas clues or something I can do to help solve the problem?
Thanks in advance!

The first thing will be to determine what is overriding the colors. Follow this guide to select the object that is the wrong color and post a screenshot of the CSS styles that are being applied (in the right panel).

Business Intelligence and performance point problem

Hi Everyone,
Please does anyone know why creating a dashboard from a Sharepoint list is such a hassle. I have configured performance point services, a secure store and a business intelligent website that has a data connection library and Performance Point content
list . Unfortunately anytime I try to use dashboard designer to create a new data source and specify the site settings(using unattended account method) I can't save it. It gives me an error claiming that I either don't have permissions or the data source
doesn't exist.
A search around the web for answers doesn't seems to solve my problem as it suggests that the problem is associate with many things which I'm not clear about. Please could someone who is good at this at least tell me the critical things to check and the
clearest way to set this up.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
According to your error " I either don't have permissions or the data source doesn't exist", it should be related to the unattended account permission.
Once the unattended service account has been configured, you must grant that account access to your data sources:
For SQL Server data, the account must have a SQL logon with db_datareader permissions on each database that you want to access.
For SQL Server Analysis Services data, the account must have read access to the cube or an appropriate portion of the cube, depending on your needs.
For Excel Services data, the account must have access to the Excel workbook in a SharePoint document library.
For data in a SharePoint list, the account must have read access to the list.

Performance Point Services - Unable to connect to site from Dashboard designer

Recently we moved the Reports site collection from one environment to other. So the Performance point content is also copied.Now I wanted to change the report paths that were deployed using Performance point services. When I try to open the report file from
perforamnce pointcontent list it shows unexpected error. If I am trying to connect to the using Dashboard designer it says URL is not available does not reference Sharepoint Site or you do not have permissions to connect.
Pleasee see the attached file for more details.
How do the reports be fixed when they are to be deployed using Performance point services(Dashboard designer). Unfortunately we do not have the dashboard designer ddwx file with us. Its been developed by vendor and they have not given us.
How should the Dashboard reports(SSRS Report ) be moved from one environment to other.What is the best way to move the performance point dashboards from one environment to other.
Environment- Sharepoint 2010

At both site-collection level and web application level you need to enable SharePoint designer. Did you do that ?
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsnoiwb/archive/2010/07/01/locking-down-sharepoint-designer-2010.aspx
Opening site in SP Designer also needs WebDAV to be enabled on the web front end servers. If the problem still persists, simultaneously open up fiddler and see what's the error message you are getting. That may give you some clue to proceed
