Report Builder 1.0 .RDL Files on Report Builder 3.0

My group has developed a lot of .rdl files using Report Builder 1.0 over the years and we're finally upgrading to Report Builder 3.0 with SQL Server 2014.  Will our old .rdl files still work on the new version?

Hi ericvanburen,
According to your description, you want to know if the .rdl file created in Report Builder 1.0 can be available in Report Builder 3.0. Right?
Report Builder 3.0 is used to create reports in a familiar, Microsoft Office-like authoring environment. It has backward compatibility. You can customize and update all existing reports, regardless of whether they were created in Report Designer or in the
previous versions of Report Builder.

  • Can I build this kind of file with Reports?

    I've not used Reports for anything other than formatted reports before, your help is appreciated.
    What I'd like to do with a Report is build a file with very long lines (each 610 characters long). It is simply the result of a query that builds a fixed-width line file for export to another process. This file is currently built within Forms (writes to the client machine with TEXT_IO), but it would take hours and hours to write out the entire file and it times out after an hour. I need to find a better way.
    Can Reports handle the long lines or will it wrap them? Will it build a text file like this?
    Thanks,
    J

    You are running a report that takes many hours you say. That is typically a batch job. Place the output in a directory where the user has access, e.g. on a file server.
    BTW: you can still use Reports if you want. Just make it a wide report. Reports has scheduling possibilities, report output location options etc.

  • Cannot download .rdl files in SSRS Report Manager 2012.

    I am unable to download .rdl reports in report manager 2012.
    I am able to create reports using report builder and I am able to run /view reports that I create.
    However , the drop down box does not work work when I attempt to access drop down menu that is to the right of the report.
    I am running this report manager on my local machine. I am an administrator on my local machine.
    Under "site settings" I have set up my user account, which is administrator, I have checked the System Administrator box and System User box.
    Under "folder settings" I have checked all of the boxes.  for my user account, I have all of the boxes selected. Browser, Content Manager, My Reports, Publisher, Report Builder.
    My account is also sysadmin on the database.
    After checking all of this, I still cannot access the drop down menu in order to download .rdl files. The menu does not activate at all when I click it.
    What are some things that I can further check/confirm?

    Hi wayne,
    According to your description, you are unable to access the dropdown menu of a report so that you can't download the .RDL file directly from Report Manager. Right?
    In this scenario, it can be many reasons to cause this problem, even the current user has enough authority to do anything on Report Manager. Please try to do trouble shooting as below:
    Run the browser as an Administrator.
    Add the Report Manager URL as Compatibility View settings.
    Use http://<servername>/reports instead of using Localhost.
    If the steps above still can't make you see the dropdown menu, it might caused by corrupt reportingservices.js file. Please try to restore this file on server.

  • Problems in using Application Builder to Build a exe file with Report generation Toolkit

    Hello,
    It's my first time to build exe. But I have Problem  when the VI have Report Generation toolkit VI.
    It's no problem in VI Format , But It can't work when I build as EXE format
    Can Anyone help me, and state step clearly in how to  solve the problems?
    Thank you!!

    If the code works OK in the development system but not in an executable there are a few things you can check. The two most likely causes are:
    There is an error occuring that your code isn't reporting.
    There is a file path that under the executable isn't valid.
    First make sure that all the error clusters are daisy-chained together in the subVI that you wrote to create and populate the excel file. Next make sure that the end of that chain goes to an indicator on the VI's front panel.
    Second, make sure there are indicators on other key parameters like the path the file is trying to write to.
    Third, temporarily modify the VI properties of that excel IO VI to open it's front panel when called, and rebuild your application. The next time you run the application the front panel will open when you try to write to the excel file and you should be able to see what is happening.

  • Sql script for uploading multiple .rdl files in to the reporting server

    Hi,
    I have multile .rdl files in my local path.i have to upload those .rdl files in to the repoting server single attempt  using sql script.
    please help me on this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Muni

    I am aware of three different options.  RS.exe, Working with the APIs (i.e., CreateCatalogItem) using custom code like C# or PowerShell, or using BIDs.
    Here's a good link on the first two items:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159720.aspx
    You could also add each report to a BIDs project and deploy that way.  I don't think Microsoft will support any other methods, like using a SQL Script.

    Hi (datasci),
    You can create a linked server in SSMS, then create a procedure to join three sheets. Then you can call the procedure in a dataset.
    As we tested in our environment, we create a linked server and the procedure like below:
    --linked server
    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
    @server = 'ExcelServer',
    @srvproduct = 'Excel',
    @provider = 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
    @datasrc = 'c:\Book3.xls.xlsx', -- the path in the server where SQL server locates
    @provstr = 'Excel 12.0;IMEX=1;HDR=YES;'
    EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelServer', 'false'--, 'sa', 'Admin', null
    go
    --procedure
    CREATE PROC proce2
    as
    SELECT a.Name,a.Amount,b.PtNo,b.value,c.Gender
    FROM ExcelServer...[Sheet1$] as a
    left join ExcelServer...[Sheet2$] as b on a.Name =b.Name
    left join ExcelServer...[Sheet3$] as c on c.PtNo =b.PtNo
    Then we call the procedure in the dataset, we get the expected result:

  • Report viewer web part, show different report everyday (rotate .rdl files)

    We have a report viewer web part on sharepoint site (intranet), which is working fine and showing the report (.rdl file).
    We want to show different report everyday by looping through a list of 4 or 5 important reports  (from sharepoint document library) that can be displayed on our intranet. We have limited space on the intranet to display the report (we have custom built
    reports that will fit in the allocated space).
    Our .net guy says he can do image rotations by custom web part but not sure how to use the .rdl files..
    Has anyone got any ideas on how to achieve this.

  • .rdl file for ssis package execution reports.

    Can I get a .rdl file for the SSIS Packages execution report  which shows execution timing status and etc.. .where it stores (location) and possibility of the Stored procedure for the .rdl file

    Not sure where the SQL Server is storing the .rdl file for the above mentioned reports. But if you just want to get summary of ETL execution you can use something similar to below query and create your own report in SSRS.
    SELECT e.executable_id AS [ID] , CASE es.execution_result when 0 then 'Success' when 1 then 'Failure' when 2 then 'Completion' when 3 then 'Cancelled'  END AS [Status] , ex.folder_name AS [FolderName] , ex.project_name AS [ProjectName] , e.package_name AS [PackageName] , CONVERT(datetime, es.start_time) AS [StartTime] , CONVERT(datetime, es.end_time) AS [EndTime] , CAST(es.execution_duration AS float)/1000 AS [Duration]FROM catalog.executables e INNER JOIN catalog.executable_statistics es ON e.executable_id = es.executable_id AND e.execution_id = es.execution_id INNER JOIN catalog.executions ex ON e.execution_id = ex.execution_id  AND es.execution_id = ex.execution_idWHERE package_path = '\Package'ORDER BY StartTime DESC

  • Error while running a report JSP in a war file from 9iAS server

    The report server is up and running and so is the database. This report JSP was generated from the reports builder and the opened in JDeveloper environment,in the war file project. It was then compiled and a war file was created. Surprisingly this report JSP works fine when i run my webapplication from the embedded OC4J instance for JDeveloper, but when i try to run it from the 9iAS server i get the above mentioned error. The deployment of the war file to the server is successful and the other JSPs work fine, only the reports JSP is not working. Do i need to have some settings for running the reports JSP, please advise.
    Thanks in advance

    Can you please help me in deploying jdeveloper (9.0.3.1)war file to 9iAS release 1, when I try to run, none of the jsp's execute, I get java OutOf Memory error, I also think that there may be some version compatibility between jdev jdk and 9iAS jdk.

  • Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

    We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
    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?

    Hi Dan,
    Report Builder 1.0
    Simple template-based reports
    Requires report model
    Supports only SQL Server, Oracle, and Analysis Services as data sources
    Supports RDL 2005
    Bundled in SSRS
    Report Builder 2.0 or later
    Full-featured reports as the BIDS Report Designer
    Doesn't require (but supports) report models
    Supports any data source
    Supports RDL 2008
    Available as a separate web download
    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.

  • Concatenate different reports in a single PDF file

    Hi,
    I need to concatenate different reports in a single PDF file.
    What I want is to have a single PDF file as a result of a single URL request; but my request runs different reports having a single file as a result.
    In other words, I already have the report A, B and C.
    I'd want to build a new report "D" that invokes A, B and C returning a single PDF that contains A + B + C.
    How can I do it? Is there a SRW function?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Samuele Gallazzi

    You can concatenate pdf's together using Ghostscript on unix. Just a bit of scripting.

  • How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file.

    How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file if the report has more than 1000 pages.
    I tried with previewer option File --> Generate to file --> Delimited file, but the report engine is crashing.Not generating .TXT file.
    I observed that this option is not working for more than 400 pages.
    I am using Oracle reports 6i version.
    Plz suggest me to generate .TXT file from Report previewer.

    You can specify a delimiter (a character or string of characters) to separate the data (boilerplate or field objects) in your report output in either of the following ways:
    On the command line using the DELIMITER keyword.
    In the Delimited Output dialog box or DelimitedData Output dialog box (displayed with File > Generate to File > Delimited or File > Generate to File > DelimitedData) in Reports Builder.

  • Need Help: Could WEBI report directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed?

    In 3.0, Could WEBI reports directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed, after exporting to BOE platform?
    I've made a test on that and find out WEBI report could not be freshed in Infoview while DESKI report could.
    Some colleague suggest me to build the WEBI report based on a Universe created based on the EXCEL file.
    I want to confirm, is it a by-design that we could only refresh WEBI report based on universe? or I could do some setting to made the refreshment of WEBI based directly on EXCEL file works?
    Please Help!! Thanks a lot~~~

    Hi Rachel,
    You could try the Rich Client Product Guide [http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_web_intelligence_rich_client_en.pdf] but I don't think it is a problem...more like a feature by design - it makes sense.
    You could try the route of creating a universe on top of excel... See posts

  • Reporting success or failure of labview command line build

    We've set up a nightly build for our project, using a batch file for compiling the C++ code in our project on Windows. Thanks to some other posts on this subject, we've gotten the command-line build to work in Labview 8.2. I'd like to add the Labview build command to same batch file as the C++ build. We found how to check within Labview if the project built or failed; however, I didn't see a way to report the success or failure status of the build from the Labview environment back up into the calling batch file (as/just before Labview exits).
    One option is to have the batch file check for the existence of the Labview output executable file(s). Does anyone have a more elegant solution?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hello Adam,
    Based on what you have described, your method seems to be the simplest way to do it.  You can not only check whether the executable files were created, but you can also check to see the modification dates to make sure that they are from the latest build.
