Reporting services emailed reports viewed on iphone

Our Exec team requires the ability to view emailed reports on their iphones.
Our Environment uses the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (Intel X86) Mar 29 2009 10:27:29 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 <X86> (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 10.0.2531.0
Users are part of a subscription that emails a report using the MHTML render format. When an exec tries to open the email, they can only view a small portion of the report.. with no ability to scroll. Apparently this is due to Reporting
Services add the Overflow: auto tag to the style. Any way of working around/fixing this for mobile users?
If the email is forwarded, after it is received, outlook (or some form of magic) strips the formatting and the report is viewable.
That said, this is not a viable option for the exec team.

I'm a database developer / BI guy, I don't know much about DOM and don't know how to create a new rendering extention (not sure I have time for it). Can you please explain your solution a bit more or at a different level or something?
Is there a simple BI way of solving this without having to export to PDF? The problem with PDF is that our users only need to look at it on PDF when they are on the iphone because it doesn't display right, otherwise they look at it in Outlook most
of the time.

Can Reporting Services 2005 report on SQL Server 2012 database?

We would like to upgrade our SQL Server from Standard 2005 to Enterprise/Standard 2012. Unfortunately, we also have a lot of reports based on Reporting Services 2005. If possible we would like avoid upgrading them at this time.
Is it possible to run Reporting Services 2005 of SQL Server 2012? If yes then is there pre-requiste like drivers or dll or any other to connect SSRS 2005 to SQL server 2012?
If we run Reporting Services 2005 of SQL Server 2012 then do we will face performance lag issue due to version difference of SSRS 2005 and SQL server 2012?

SQL2008R2 Reporting Services: Subscribing Report to multiple email list from table

Hi,
I need to subscribe one report from SSRS to different set of people. EMail list is dynamic and will come from a database table.
Could somebody help us please.

Hi AjayKumar_MIND,
According to your description, you want to configure subscription for the report to send it to different sets of people. If that is the case, we can achieve your goal by using Data-driven Subscription.
Reporting Services provides data-driven subscriptions so that you can customize the distribution of a report based on dynamic subscriber data. Data-driven subscriptions use query results to determine the recipients of the subscription, delivery settings,
and report parameter values. At run time, the report server runs a query to get values used for subscription settings. We can use the Create Data-driven Subscription pages to define the query and assign query values to subscription settings. For detail information,
please refer to the following steps:
1. Open Report Manager, and locate the report for which you want to create a data-driven subscription.
2. Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
3. In the drop-down menu, click Manage. This opens the General properties page for the report.
4. Select the Subscriptions tab, and then click New Data-driven Subscription.
5. Select the delivery extension and data source for the subscription.
6. Specify a query that retrieves subscriber data like below:
CREATE TABLE Name (
Group varchar(20),
Country varchar(20),
Type varchar(20),
Email_to varchar(50)
INSERT INTO Name values
('Group1', ’Country1’, ’Type1’, '[email protected]'),
('Group2', ’Country2’, ‘Type2’, '[email protected]'),
('Group3',’Country3’, ’Type3’, '[email protected]');
7. Specify delivery extension options like below:
8. Specify report parameters for the subscription like below:
9. Specify when the subscription is processed, then click Finish to save the configuration.
For more information about Data-driven Subscription, please refer to the following documents:

What to specfify in CA Reporting services integration (Report server web service URL) when using SSL for both SharePoint and SSRS?

Hello,
We are using Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server reporting services 2008 R2.    We have the sharepoint site bound to port 443 using a certificate.   We also have the same certificate bound in the reporting services configuration manager's
web service URL tab.    In CA should we put the SSL URL or the non SSL URL?    Right now in CA it has the then non SSL URL,
http://fakehostname/ReportServer_REPORTSERVICE.     We have some sporadic issues and I am wondering if setting this to our SSL URL will help.    Please let me know
if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Sean

Report Service And Report Builder Issue

SQL SERVE 2012
In our web site project we use ReportingService2010 Methods to show and operate folder and report which stored in Report Service, in our project configuration file, we use windows authentication mode for Report Service.
In requirement
User can show and operate folder “A” and folder “B” (we can create and delete report or folder) in web site.
User can’t use “Report Builder” to save reports which created by Report Builder to folder “B”, Reports which created by Report Builder only can be saved in folder “A”.
[User click “Report Builder” button in our web page to start Report Builder, use
“Report Builder” to create report, if user want to save report, we need to hidden folder “B” in “Report Builder” or we need to remove some operate right from folder “B”.]
We have no solution for this requirement, could you help us?

Thank you for your replay, but I don't understand it very clearly.
Please check the first requirement:
User can show and operate folder “A” and folder “B” (we can create and delete report or folder) in web site.
For example, I login my PC with account "lfang", in report server, we grand "Browse" permission on both folder and grand only "Publish" permissions for folder "A", report builder can't save report into folder "B",
it's correct.
But our web site has create report function, that means in our web site we want to create report for both folder "A" and "B", that is the issue, if we don't give "Publish" permissions to folder
"B", we can't create report in our web site.
Is there any method to run "report builder" use specified account? then we can only give folder "A" "Publish" permissions with specified account.

An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report '' is invalid.The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services. he report definition may have been created with a later version of R

Hi Wendy Fu,
Thanks for your feed back. I could see Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll to add as reference to my project. Actually I can open generated rdlc in designer, at run time I get error. I could not make out where is the exact mistake out of three
options flashed.
The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services.
The report definition may have been created with a later version of Reporting Services
or contain content that is not well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services schemas
Details: Data at the root level is invalid
My web config has following references
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
May be I have to change these versions to 9 or 10.
First I will try adding Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll .
Once thanks for your reply.

SCCM 2012 - Reporting Services - No Reports show up in Console!

Hi,
I’m in the process of building our new 2012 SCCM infrastructure and have hit a small issue. When installing the Reporting services Point it appears to run through ok however no reports are populated.
So far I’ve checked the:

However in the srsrp.log Im getting the following:

The above is repeated for all the standard reports you would expect to find..
The Primary site is windows 2008 R2(Fully Patched), SQL 2008 R2 Standard Sp1, with CU6 installed.
I’ve confirmed security accounts etc. I’ve also tried uninstalling/reinstalling SSRS and re-applying sP1 and CU6.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pete

Hi, The thing is my domain account has local admin rights on the box and is set as a "Full Administrator" on all nodes in the console? Ive just tried right clicking on the console 'Run As Administrator', tried to install Reporting services but im still getting
the same problem.
One thing I have noticed is that If i manually create the report directories it runs through ok and sets the permissions. However no reports are populated. I have alos tried manually importing one of the report.rdl files and this fails:
When it comes back with 'Failed to retrieve existing folder security for folder [Network Access Protection]' what actual folder security is it supposed to be checking? Is this in the actual DB?
Thanks, Pete

Reporting Services - No reports

I have a two server configuration - DB/Analysis Services on one server, App/Reporting/File on another.
I configured reporting services on the app server with default settings AFAIK. I installed BPC without issue and have patched to 5.0.501.
If I go to the http://localhost/reports or http://localhost/reportserver on the reporting services machine I do not see any reports. If I try to run a report, like a security report for a user, I get back an error from reporting services stating that the report item was not found (as I suppose should be expected since I don't see any reports in there.
So, my question is why the reports aren't there (both admin and ApShell) and how do I fix this problem.
Thanks,
McP

OK - I think we are just about there. Doing the Modfiy Application and selecting the checkboxes created the ApShell folder, some shared data connections and then folders for each of the applications (I did all 5 in ApShell) with their respective reports.
What is still missing are the AdminTemplates reports that have all the security ones and others. Outside of manually uploading every report (oh my that would be tedious) is that some way, similar to the modify application approach, to get them all where they need to be?
In case it wasn't clear - prior to running the modify application step I did not have an ApShell within the reporting services UI. Once I ran it for one of the applications I got the ApShell folder and the application folder within it, just not the admin reports.
I tried uploading the SEC_LIST_USER.rdl report through the reporting services UI and got this error message displayed in the browser:

Moving the Reporting Services and Report Server DB into AlwaysON Availability Group

I have configured the new set of SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group and need to move the SSRS and it's Report Server DB into that Availability Group.
Can anyone give tell me the steps to do this move?
Can I just backup the ReportServer DB into the AG server then import that DB into the SSRS running on the new AlwasyOn AG SQL?

Hello,
Based on your description, it seems that you want to move the Report Server database to a different server. If so, both the reportserver and reportservertempdb databases must be moved or copied together. You can move the databases by using Detaching
and Attaching or Backup and Restore.
What's more, you should also backup the encryption keys for the report server database you want to move and then restore to the new server.
You can configure report server databases in Always On Availability Group to be part of a replica; however Reporting Services will not automatically use a different replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs

[Forum FAQ] How do I send an email to users when the data in the report have been changed in Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that the data in the report changes infrequently, so the users want to be informed and get the most updated data once the data changes. By default, report server always run the report with the most recent data. Is there a way that we
can subscribe the report, so that we can send an email to users when the data in the report has been changed?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can create a subscription for the report, then create a trigger in the table which including the report data. When this table has data insert, update or delete, it will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email
to users.
In the Report Manager, create a subscription for the report and make it only execute one time.
When we create a subscription, a corresponding SQL Agent job will be created. Then we can use the query below to find out the job based on ScheduleId:
-- List all SSRS subscriptions
USE [ReportServer]; -- You may change the database name.
GO
SELECT USR.UserName AS SubscriptionOwner
      ,SUB.ModifiedDate
      ,SUB.[Description]
      ,SUB.EventType
      ,SUB.DeliveryExtension
      ,SUB.LastStatus
      ,SUB.LastRunTime
      ,SCH.NextRunTime
      ,SCH.Name AS ScheduleName
          ,RS.ScheduleId
      ,CAT.[Path] AS ReportPath
      ,CAT.[Description] AS ReportDescription
FROM dbo.Subscriptions AS SUB
     INNER JOIN dbo.Users AS USR
         ON SUB.OwnerID = USR.UserID
     INNER JOIN dbo.[Catalog] AS CAT
         ON SUB.Report_OID = CAT.ItemID
     INNER JOIN dbo.ReportSchedule AS RS
         ON SUB.Report_OID = RS.ReportID
            AND SUB.SubscriptionID = RS.SubscriptionID
     INNER JOIN dbo.Schedule AS SCH
         ON RS.ScheduleID = SCH.ScheduleID
ORDER BY USR.UserName
       ,SUB.ModifiedDate ;
Create a trigger in the table which including the report data.
CREATE TRIGGER reminder
ON test.dbo.users
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
AS
exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
Please note that the command ‘exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'’ is coming from the job properties. We can go to SQL Server Agent Jobs, right-click the corresponding job to open
the Steps, copy the step command, and then paste it to the query.
Then when the user table has data insert, update or delete, the trigger will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email to users.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

1.        Question 3: How to install a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows?
Answer:
To install the 32-bit version of Reporting Services on a computer that is running the 64-bit version of IIS 6.0, we can follow these following steps:
1.       Uninstall the 64-bit version of Reporting Services.
Note: Side-by-side installations of 32-bit versions of Reporting Services and 64-bit versions of Reporting Services are not supported.
2.       Run the Dotnetfx64.exe file to manually install the .NET Framework.
The Dotnetfx64.exe file is in the Tools\redist\2.0 folder on the SQL Server 2005 Setup media. To download the Dotnetfx64.exe file, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70186
3.       In IIS Manager, click Web Server Extensions.
4.       In the Details pane, right-click ASP.NET V2.0.50727, and then click Allow.
5.       Right-click Web Sites, and then click Properties.
6.       Click the ISAPI Filters tab.
7.       In the Filter Name column, click ASP.NET_2.0.50727, and then click Edit.
8.       Replace C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_filter.dll with C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_filter.dll.
Note: The Aspnet_filter.dll file in the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ folder is a 32-bit version of the file.
9.       Click OK two times, and then close IIS Manager.
10.   At a command prompt, run the following command:
cscript %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
11.   Install the 32-bit version of Reporting Services.
12.   After setup is complete, open IIS Manager, and then click Web Server Extensions.
13.   In the Details pane, right-click ASP.NET V2.0.50727 (32-bit), and then click Allow.

Bursting Reports via email with seperate email address for each page

I have been reading "Oracle® Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web" (most specifically chapter 15 Creating Advanced Distributions) trying to figure this out but still having difficulty getting my head around it.
I am trying to email invoices when applicable. Here is the "perfect world scenario".
Report is scheduled to run once a day.
Any qualifying invoices are picked up in the run.
If there is an email address associated with the record the invoice is sent via email. (email address would be included on report and variable)
If no email address is associated, the invoice is printed.
There could/would be several different invoices on a single run.
Does this mean I have to write dynamically write a distribution.xml file for each run or can I pass the email address as a variable to the distribution.xml?
(builder version 10.1.2.0.2)

Edited by: sdortch on May 21, 2009 9:09 AM

Hi !
You're able to use Report-Variables (e.g. from a Group in the Data Model) in the distribution.xml-File to send email to different adresses.
Just bear in mind that you also need to set the "repeat-on" Property of the relevant layout section and use a "foreach"-Loop in the distribution.xml.
So, no, no "dynamic" building of xml-Files necessary (though we do it at times...).
See also "Publishing Reports to the web" for a complete reference on "burst distribution" and the components of the distribution.xml
I would, however, run the report twice, once for "all email-invoices" with email-distribution file, once for "all invoices w/o email-adress" with (probably) printer-distribution file, as "exception" handling inside a distribution.xml could be a bit awkward...

Trying to make Reporting Services Configuration Manager work. Or, SQL Server Reporting Services.

Under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008, I have the following:
SQL Server Management Studio
Configuration Tools
Integration Services
Import and Export Data
Under Configuration Tools, I have the following:
SQL Server Installation Center
SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
Reporting Services Configuration Manager
I tried to enable Reporting Services through 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' but I don't seem to have much control from this view. I see two boxes, one named Server Name (and it shows my server name) and the other is named Report Servicer Instance (and this is grayed out). If I click on the Find box next to Server Name, I get this message:
Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid Namespace
Details
Invalid Namespace
To get the Server Name I right-clicked SQL Server > Properties > General
Any ideas on how to make Reporting Services Configuration Manager work? Or, can you please give me more details on how to access "System control" => "Services"? I'm not seeing it anywhere and I'm not seeing any way to find "Sql Server Reporting Services". Basically, I'm trying to activate my SQL Server Reporting Services.
I am using SQL Server 2008 Express Management Studio. Is SQL Server Reporting Services included in Express Management Studio? I read, online, that it is, but I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks again!

Thanks Jerry Nee!! This may be exactly what I’m looking for! I went to this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B5D1B8C3-FDA5-4508-B0D0-1311D670E336&displaylang=en#filelist
At the top of the page it says, ‘Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services’, which seems like this is what I’m looking for, so I downloaded the file named ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’
Then, I cut that from my desktop and pasted it in my C-drive and I get a message that says, ‘this folder already contains a file named ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’, would you like to replace the existing file?’
I’m thinking…what the heck? Do I already have this thing? If so, why can’t I see SQL Server Reporting Services? Maybe I have it now, and I just don’t know how to access the reporting Services features…
Couple quick questions:
What’s the difference b/w these two files:
‘SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe’ and ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’?
Also, my current version of SSMS, Help > About shows this:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)
2000.085.1132.00 (xpsp.080413-0852)
Microsoft MSXML
2.6 3.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer
8.0.6001.18702
Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0.50727.3603
Operating System
5.1.2600
Should Server Reporting Services be included in this version? I think so!!!
Under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 > Configuration Tools > Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I see this:
Connect to a report server instance:
Server Name:
Report Server Instance:
My server name is ‘'EXCEL-4J2W8KYNP', which I got from Control Panel > System Properties > Computer Name > Full Computer Name;
However, when I put that server name in the box, and hit ‘Find’ I get this message: ‘Report Server WMI Provider error’ Invalid namespace
Details: Invalid Namespace.
I have no idea what this means…
Thanks for everything!

Reporting Services 2014 ReportViewer.Webforms.dll

So is Microsoft still only going to support Internet Explorer for printing? Any chance they will ever support Chrome?

See Browser Support for ReportViewer Web Server Controls =>
Reporting Services and Power View Browser Support
Internet Explorer + Safari + Firefox are supported browser, but not Chrome.

Firefox in Mac fails to render Reporting Services

Hello All,
I've a user who uses Firefox to view reporting services on Mac. Firefox came up with update recently and ever since the user is not able to open the reports in Firefox on Mac. Is anyone having the similar issue? Please share. Thanks.
Regards,
Amol

Hi Amol,
In Reporting Services, Mozilla Firefox is not supported to view reports in Mac OS X 10.6 – 10.9. If you are accessing a report server from a Macintosh computer, we recommend that you use Apple Safari browser. And please make sure the Mac OS X version meets
the requirement, and the Apple Safari is the latest publically released version.
Reference:
Planning for Reporting Services and Power View Browser Support
Hope this helps.
