Report Builder 3.0 Licensing Questions

I have several questions/clarifications on the licensing and use of Report Builder. Any help you could provide, or other resources I should contact would be much appreciated.
I've looked through the license that is included when installing "SQL Server Report Builder 3 for SQL Server 2014", but need to make sure what we want to do is kosher.
Scenario:
A third party software vendor wants to allow users to create and edit .RDL files within Report Builder. The RDL files will then be saved locally to the users desktop, then uploaded into the third party software product(.NET based, and hosted within the organization's
environment). The data for the report will be generated based on the settings of the RDL file, then the data and RDL file will be passed to the "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll", and a PDF/Excel document will be generated. The user will have
the control to deliver this file anywhere (network share/email/FTP).
The users using the Report Builder, may be employees of either small/medium size businesses, or as large as Fortune 500 businesses. The Organization employing the users, may or may not have a license of SQL Server.
Questions:
1) Does the Organization that owns the third party software, need to own a license of SQL Server? From the License, it appears yes: "If you are licensed to use any one of the following editions of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 software .... you may use this
supplement"
2) Following from #1, if the Organization does not have a license, if they were to purchase a SQL Server license, how many users would a license cover?
What if they purchase a Standard license?
What if they purchase a "Deverloper" License?
I assume the Developer License is for one person, so would only one user be able to use the Report Builder, based on this clause: "You may use this supplement with each validly licensed copy of the software."
2) In the license, it says "You may not: use the supplement for commercial software hosting services.". What does that mean? You can't use it commercially? Or with 'hosting services'? What are 'hosting services'?
3) Can the third party vendor distribute the .MSI file with their software product? Or do the end users need to download it separately, directly from Microsoft?
4) Any restrictions on where the resulting output (PDF/Excel) may be delivered?
5) Are there any restrictions at all on using the "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll", with an RDL file? Restrictions on how much is processed, where the content goes, etc.?
I think that's about it... Thanks

Report Builder Question: Printing PO's from E-Business Suite - POXPRPOL

I'm hoping there's someone who has the time to help me: We are using Report Builder 9, Oracle 9i, and E-Business Suite 11.5.10.
I am a new developer using Oracle, and need to make some changes to the seeded (default) POXPRPOL (Purchase Order Print - Landscape) report, using Report Builder.
I have two problems:
1. When I print PO Releases from E-Business Suite, and specify I want releases 1 through 2, I get those fine, but the first page is my "Purchase Agreement". The question is: Is there any way (programatically or otherwise) to say "When the "Release" fields are filled out, don't include the Purchase Agreement?
2. Somehow, after making a few changes to the POXPRPOL report, my quantity has disappeared. Is there any suggestions on how this could happen? I look at the query where they are using "POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT" for the working and the non-working reports, and they look identical.
I'm hoping DESPERATELY that someone can help me - I'm really in a bind...
Thanks!
Steve

Srini,
Thanks so much for your reply!!!
1. Ok, but how do I hide a whole page? I noticed the conditional formatting, but I want to "not print" a whole page when this page is a "Purchase Agreement".
2. I've checked the source - it's coming from POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT - POL is a view that is unpopulated. I assume it's populated at run-time. So now I am trying to track down where it's populated, but can't find that in report builder. The quantity is being taken into account, because I put a total at the bottom of the page, and that number matches price * pol.quantity_to_print. Very strange...
Finally, here's another question, if you don't mind:
3. When I print a purchase order that is set up as a blanket, as I mentioned before, I get my "Purchase Agreement" first, and then one (or more) pages per release. But the "Page Number" on each is "1" because each is a one-page PO. But my "total pages" is "3", so each page reads "Page 1 of 3". Any idea if there's a way around that?
Thanks again! Hoping you have some more insight! :)
Cheers!
Steve

Report Builder Question - OA AR Aging - and a general question

I'm sure this is the wrong forum for this question, but I thought there might be someone here who might be using Oracle Applications and Report Builder who'd be kind enough to help me out.
We've recently implemented Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I have to use report builder to change the Accounts Receiveable Aging (7 bucket) to a 5 bucket report. I've already made some changes to the seeded "ARXAGMW.rdf" report, but I'm not a big Oracle Reports guy. I've stumbled through making some changes in various other reports. But this one is just plain nasty! :)
I was thinking that I could simply add buckets 6 & 7 to bucket 5, then just hide or delete the 6 & 7 buckets. But I'm not sure where to even start. Any help with this would GUARANTEE a Christmas or other holiday card this year! :)
I really want to keep this simple as possible, so any help would be very....helpful. :)
Oh, my general question is: Are there any resouces/books for Oracle Reports (Report Builder)? I feel so lost trying to modify existing reports, let alone creating new ones.
Thanks again!
Steve

Hi Steve,
I am working on the 7-bucket aging report and i want to add a new field in data model.
As the query is build dynamically, i have modified the function BUILD_CUSTOMER_SELECT to meet my requirements.
But the problem is that in the data model, the field is not present in my Grouping. and if I try to add the field in the Data Model query (Q_ Customer) section,
i get the following error: ORA-01789: query block has incorrect number of result columns.
The query is as shown below:

Is separate licensing required for Report Builder 3.0 ?

Is separate licensing required for Report Builder 3.0 ?

No report Builder 3.0 is just the client side light-weight component to work with published reports & does not need any specific license however the server over which the reports are published (Eventually) must be appropriately licensed

Data links Questions on Reports Builder

We are currently using Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0. We are trying to create a topology report. So, we have about 5 queries in the data models which are linked using a query links with Child Destination column in the child query.
So, here is the example:
Q1 --> Q2 (joined with Q1 child) --> Q3 (joined with Q2 child) --> Q4 (joined with Q3 child)--> Q5 (joined with Q4 child).
So, the problem we are experiencing is when Q2 has same child twice, the Q2 query is actually sending the same child id to Q3 twice (or however many times its repeating). Is there any way to distinct the child so we get only one child sent to Q3?
Here is an example:
Q1
Parent Child
A1 B1
A2 B2
A3 B3
Q2
Parent Child
B1 C1
B1 C2
B2 C1
Q3
Parent Child
C1 D1
C1 D1
C2 D3
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Edited by: user613427 on Dec 12, 2011 1:17 PM

You are on the right track, here is how our structure looks like:
Query1
Street, City
Query 2
City, State
Query 3
State, Country
And Queries are linked using group links.
Here is an example:
Query 1 results:
Street1 City1
Street1 City2
Query 2 results:
City1 State1
City1 State2
City2 State3
City2 State1
Query 3 results:
State1 Country1
State1 Country1
State2 Country4
State3 Country5
Note: example is not realistic, i know. just wanted to give you picture.
So, the repeating frame for Query3 gets Stateid from Query2 one by one rather than collect it and distinct it, hence the duplicates. I hope this explains it.

Unable to Connect to the Data Source with Report Builder when using a closed Excel file

I am using Report Builder 3.0 and to get started I am using an Excel spreadsheet as my data source. I set this up just fine. I can connect successfully if the file is open Excel. But if I close the file, I get the error "Unable to
Connect to the data source".
This is my connection string:
Dsn=Licenses;dbq=C:\USERS\AMEADE\DOCUMENTS\licenses.xlsx;defaultdir=C:\USERS\AMEADE\DOCUMENTS;driverid=790;fil=excel 8.0;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5
Works fine if the file is open but stops working when the file is closed. Any idea what I can do?

Hi Alice,
Based on my understanding, when you keep the Excel file open, you can connect to the data source correctly. But when you close the Excel file, the error “Unable to Connect to the data source” is thrown out.
In your scenario, I would like to know if only this Excel comes across this issue. Have you experienced the same issue when you use other Excel files as a data source? As we tested in our environment, we can connect to the data source whether the Excel file
is open. You can refer to this
article to create a data source again then check if you can connect to the data source when the Excel file is closed.
If issue persists, I would suggest you use the
Process Monitor to capture the processes during the connection to the data source. Then check the result of each process to find the exact reason.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

BO XIR2 Licensing Question

Was hoping if someone could help me out with a licensing question I have. I am trying to understand how BO licensing works.
I think it would be easier if I asked the question through an example.
The scenario is a situation where we have a standard BO XIR2 enterprise installation with an app server, db server and web server.
1. The app server is a normal BO XIR2 installation
2. The web server is also as from a BO XIR2 installation.
3. The db server runs the data store and audit module is on in the db.
4. The following report types are to be used by the end user
    4a. Crystal Reports
    4b. Web Intelligent reports (View, drill down etc)
    4c. Desktop Intelligence report (View, drill down etc)
5. The development box is the same setup in which the 10 developers should have access to have access to these build the universes, crystal, webi and deski reports.
6. The prod environment will be used by 50 users who should be able to access webi crystal and deski reports.
7. These users should also be able to create custom webi reports
Since the licensing for BO is a bit different, can someone please help understand all the different types of licenses required for this setup?

BO licensing is pretty straight forward, but you should speak to a sales rep for particulars. Generally from the server we have 3 types CPU (in which case everything you stated would be supported), Named Users (in which case you would need 1 per user logging in) and concurrent users (which would require enough licenses to support the maximum of concurrently logged on users).
The slow response is likely due to the US thanksgiving holiday, I'm sure more folks will be back next week.

SQL Report Builder 3.0 Automatic Scheduling feature ?

Hello All,
We have installed and commissioned a HMI SCADA solution for Shell Petroleum South Africa, We are using Copa Data Zenon for our HMI solution, Zenon's historian are writing variable values into a SQL database from where we are reading these variables with
I-net Clear Reports.
However, I net Clear Reports uses a "PLUS" license which is used for the scheduling function. The license is priced based on the amount of CPU Cores the server has and ours has 16 cores so the license is extremely expensive.
What we need :
To create a report with values from a SQL Database.
Report must be able to be scheduled, to run at specific time.
I have done some testing and used the same SQL queries we used in I-net clear reports.
SQL Report Builder 3.0 does get the variable values when you hit "run" , but it does not look like there is an automatic report scheduling function ? We want to execute a daily , weekly & monthly report.
Does a Scheduling feature exist ?? Please advise
I would highly appreciate your assistance.
Regards.
Paul
Automation Engineer

Hello，
Report Builder 3.0 is just a report authoring tool.You can design and preview the report with Report Builder,or you can publish your report to a report server or a report server in SharePoint integrated mode, where others can run it. There is no schedule
running function in Report Builder which can processing the report automatically.
SQL Server Reporting Services Standard edition or high edition support email and file share subscriptions and scheduling. You can create subscriptions that can automatic running the report based on a schedule(daily , weekly or monthly ) and send reports
to a shared folder or to an e-mail address.

Service Pack 3 appears to have broken the Report Builder click once installation

I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do since all recommended solutions I've found are for installing the latest service pack or cumulative update (from threads several years old). By installing service pack 3 we are at the latest upgrade path for 2008
R2 and ironically enough, this is what appears to have broken the click once installer.

Hi Matt,
This is an known issue in SSRS 2008 R2 SP3. For this issue, Microsoft has published an article addressing this issue. It is not planning to release a fix for this defect. But there's workarounds for this issue. Please refer to the link below:

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

ApplicationIntent and Report Builder

I have a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn AG setup including the read-only intent for a secondary. I setup a data source to point to the Listener with the data source type of Microsoft SQL Server entry to include ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly. The Test connection was
successful. When I created a new report and added a dataset using that datasource and asks for data source credentials, I specify use the current windows user. I get the error "Unable to connect to data source" with Details - "Keynword not supported:
'applicationintent'.
I see that there was a fix for .NET but that seems to apply to XP and 2008R2.
What wrong?
I should also mention that I am using Report Builder 3.0 that I had used for 2008 R2 reports. I see that there seems to be a 2012 Report Builder version (I can't find where the version of Report Builder is indicated?). Is that the problem? Can this version
be used for 2008 R2 reports - backward compatible?

I am running the 2012 version of Report Builder 3.0. My build is 11.0.2100.60 (installed several months ago). You can find this by opening the filesystem location where MSReportBuilder.exe resides, right-click MSReportBuilder.exe, choose properties, Select
Details. The File and Product versions are there.
I don't have a similar SQL server setup to test against so I can't answer the initial question but it won't hurt to install the latest report builder anyway. Then try it again and see what happens. Good luck.

Problems with report builder 3.0 in SCCM 2012 R2 CU2

Hi All
I have problems with editing (Using Report builder) existing reports or creating new ones in SCCM 2012 R2 CU2

Hi Miss Katherine,
1. I went through the SQL steps in the link you posted
2. I updated the Reg Key and Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.exe.config file with 3.0 on both the
server and the console machine.
3. I copied the .DLL file from your OneDrive and replaced the existing one on the server.
4. I uninstalled and re-installed the reporting role on the server and received the 1015 in the log.
5. I restarted the server and the client machine
I do get a slightly different error now after using the new DLL

SSRS- report builder showing recent sites and server as blank

Hi All,
A client of ours when executes Report builder is not able to see Report models as report builder just gets open but do not create connection to server.
We have done the following settings for same:
Used both name and IP of system and added the same to Trusted Sites in IE settings
Also we have used port number along with URL for report builder.
We have given all rites to user on reporting services (SQL)
But it is still not showing report models.
Kindly help us. It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance
-Regards
Kumud

Hi Kumud,
According to your description, your client can't see the created report models in Report Builder. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why the client can't see the report models because he doen't connect to report server. Please click the
Connect at the left bottom of Report Builder and type the report server url manually to reconnect the report server.
If the connection is failed, please check if there any process on client side which occupies the port for report server URL. Here are two articles for your reference to do troubleshooting.
Report Builder 3.0 error : Connection Failed. Unable to connect to the server that is specified in the URL
Connecting to Report Server
Since the Semantic modeling language (SMDL) report models are deprecated. Although you can you continue to use existing report models as data sources in SQL Server 2012 or later version Reporting Services reports you should consider updating your reports
to remove their dependency on report models.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

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.
