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:

Questions on using a SOAP web service's data in a Crystal Reports report

I'm attempting to create a report using CR 2008, accessing data from a SOAP web service. I've run into a few problems, and need some advice.
1) CR doesn't seem to support WSDL files that use relative URI imports (for example, I have a relatively complicated WSDL file that imports other WSDL files and schemas using relative URI locations). To solve this problem, I have downloaded all of the files to my local hard drive, and changed the "location" attributes to point to local files. Is there any other solution to this problem?
2) CR doesn't seem to support circular references within schema files. To solve this problem, I have removed circular references from my local schema files. Of course, my actual web service will still potentially return data structures with these circular dependencies. Is there any other solution to this problem?
3) CR doesn't seem to support request documents that allow for arrays of elements. For example, my schema allows the user to specify an array of Instruments that should be returned by the web service. In the meantime, I have changed the schema to only specify single instances of the Instrument element in the request. Is there any other solution to this problem?
4) CR doesn't seem to support empty values for optional attributes that are specified in the schema. So, when the "Enter Values" parameter form appears, I am required to enter values for these attributes, even though they are listed as optional in the schema. To avoid this problem, I have commented out the optional attribute values in the schema. Is there any other solution to this problem?
5) When the schema specifies that a value is based on a restricted simple (string) type, the CR parameter form shows a drop list with ellipses (...), but the drop list does not contain the enumerated types specified in my schema. Instead, I must manually enter a value. Do you know of any reason why the drop list is not populated?
6) The SOAP response document from my web service is relatively complicated. So, in the "Data" page of the Standard Report Creation Wizard, each and every XML element level of the response document listed in the schema is shown as a separate entry. If I choose just the top level element ("fetchInstrumentSetResponse"), then very little data is shown on the next page of the wizard (only the ID attribute). But, if I select each and every element type from the response document, CR prompts me for the request document parameters for each row I have selected (I see the same form 30+ times), even though there really should only be a single SOAP request to the web service to return this response document. It seems to be treating each of these elements as a separate "database table", with a different query string for each. Am I using this feature incorrectly?
If you can point me to somewhere in the documentation that handles this in more detail, that would be great (all I could find were the step-by-step instructions on how to connect to a web service as a data source).
Thanks!

Report issue on Virtual cube with services

Hi,
I'm following a how-to document to report on a virtual cube using a custom function module and everything seems to be OK except it is dumping at the following line which is included in the How To document "How Tou2026Implement a virtual InfoProvider with Services".
Both <l_s_data> and E_T_DATA are of same data types as discussed in the how-to document.
append <l_s_data> to E_T_DATA
These are the declarations which are same as HowTo document
E_T_DATA TYPE STANDARD TABLE
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_s_data> TYPE ANY.
Did any one face this issue. Greatly appreciate any insight into this issue. We are on BW 3.0B.
the dump i'm getting is ...
Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible.
Error analysis
The statement    "MOVE src TO dst"   requires the operands "dst" and "src" to be comvertible.
Since this statement occurs in a Unicode program, the special convertibility rules for Unicode programs apply.

$100 to the person that can work with me on getting Lightswitch, Telerik Reporting, Azure reporting service working.

I give up. I am not a professional developer however I am pretty good at coding. But I have limitations and do not understand how all the pieces fit together when it comes to WCF, LightSwitch and Telerik Reporting service.
I have spent the better part of the past 5 evenings attempting to deploy a WCF service to my azure account to create reports for my application. I know this should be simple but I cannot find an example that ties all the pieces together.
I have a
working lightswitch application deployed to Azure
20+ working telerik reports created in a separate project (Reports have parameters that is one of the problems)
No way to get the two to talk together.
If you have experience and feel you can help me please respond to this post and I will set up some time for us to work together online.
Regards a very frustrated part time developer
Cliff
P.S. Sorry if this is an inappropriate use of the forum but I am at my wits end!

(I am not in the running for the 'bounty' just trying to help on the WCF RIA part...)
When you deploy the application to Azure you should be able to hit the WCF RIA Service using:
site/{class name}.svc/
For example if you look at the reports I have in this example:
LightSwitch Survey: Handling
Complex Business Logic Using WCF RIA Services
You can use the live application at the following link: https://survey.lightswitchhelpwebsite.com/HTMLClient (use your
username and password from
LightSwitchHelpWebsite.com)
The call in Fiddler looks like this:
/WCF_RIA_ServiceData.svc/SurveyResults?$filter=(SurveyId%20eq%202)&$top=45&$inlinecount=allpages
This is what your reports should be calling. Can you get this far?

Reporting Services Webpart - web part does not auto render consistantly

We are on SharePoint 2010 (integrated with Reporting Services)- on several sites we have added the Reporting Services Web Part and with a saved parameter. The behavior of this web part is not consistent. There are times when I open up a site
and the web part will auto render the report. 5 minutes later I can go into the same site, and the web part does not auto render the report. I have to do edit page, or close and re-open the web site. Has anyone experienced this type of behavior.
I've looked for assistance with this issue on-line cannot find anything that specifically addresses this issue.

Hi Karen,
If the parameters have default values in the report, then the report can be rendered automatically.
For this issue, I recommend to verify the things below:
Does this issue occur when you open the page with the web part in a new tab in the browser or go back to the previous opened tab?
Does this issue occur in the server side or client side?
Please add the site to trusted sites in Internet Explorer to see how it works.
Please change another browser to see how it works.
For narrowing down the issue scope, please test with another report and compare the results.
Thanks,
Victoria

Reporting Services 2008 R2 - SharePoint Integration Mode

Hi everyone,
I installed Reporting Services 2008 R2 in my SharePoint(2013) server and configurated the SSRS to run in SharePoint Integrate mode. But, when I run the command Install-SPRSService in SharePoint 2013 Management Shell, I get this error:
Does anyone know how resolve it ? I search but I didn't get a solution :(
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards!

SSRS 2008 R2 isn't supported with SharePoint 2013. You'll need a minimum of SSRS 2012 SP1. In addition, SSRS 2008 R2 doesn't include the cmdlet you're looking for because it isn't a Service Application, rather it sat external to SharePoint.

Reporting Services not able to connect with sharepoint

HI
We have a Sql server instance where we are not able to install reporting services, so what we have done is we have created one more sql server instance on the same server with reporting services.
When we configured reporting services in sharepoint integrated mode and try to connect that web service url in sharepoint we are getting an error in sharepoint central administartion that not able to connect to the reporting services.
Request you to throw some light on the same.
Thanks
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

Hi Geeth,
Based on the limited information, I am not very clearly about you issue. In order to solve the problem more efficiently, I need to clarify some information. Could you post more detail information about “try to connect that web service url in sharepoint we
are getting an error in sharepoint central administartion”? For example, the detail steps about the action, the screenshot of the action, and what error message you received. I’m not sure which step are you trying to do. And could you tell me the edition of
your SQL Server and SharePoint? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

"Reporting services" service does not start automatically

I have installed reporting services from SQL Express SP1 package. OS is Windows 2000 SP4. Just after installation "Reporting services" service has StartMode=Automatic and LogOnAS=LocalSystem as shown in SQL Server Configuration Manager. When system is rebooted reporting services state is Stopped and there is 2 errors in System log:
1. Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the SQL Server Reporting Services (REPS) service to connect.
2. The SQL Server Reporting Services (REPS) service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
If i select "start" from service's context menu then it starting normally and it's state becomes Running.
What can i do to make reporting services starting automatically on system load?

Reporting Services Point, remote SQL issue

I'm trying to install Reporting Services Point on a remote SQL 2008 R2 SP2 server. I select the SQL server under Servers and Site System Roles and it lists the site database server name, database name (should this name be the same as the DB found in Reporting
Services Configuration Manager?), folder name and reporting services server instance. I enter a new account that is a sysadmin on the SQL click verify and get:
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
Ping works both ways, remote connection on this SQL instance are enabled, static ports configured, a rule to allowany is set in the firewall. Should I perhaps be entering the port (this instance uses a non-standard one) in the Add Site System Roles
Wizard?
If I open up Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the service is started, mode is native, a domain user account is used for the service account, web service URL opens, I even created a new DB. Report Manager URL opens.
SCCM itself uses the same remote SQL instance, so it appears connectivity works fine.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you very much - CypherMike.
You helped me so much!!!
I installed the DB on another Instance so i had to change the port # and just here i found this info that i need to use comma to define the port.
Tnx

Reporting Services Point status message errors.

My Reporting Services Point seems to work OK -all reports are available and run correctly both through the console and via the website. However, I am seeing the following warning in the SMS_SRS_REPORTING_POINT status messages every hour:
"The SQL Reporting Services datasource on Reporting point server "Databaseserver.contoso.com" is missing or has been changed outside of Configuration Manager. It will be rebuilt based on the RSP configuration."
Here's what I think is causing the issue, but I don't know how to solve it.
The reports database is on the same remote SQL server as my site database. Because these site systems were installed automatically through the SCCM installation process, they show up in the Servers and Site Systems Role without an intranet FQDN. However,
when I add the RSP to the database server, it creates a new entry because when manually adding site systems SCCM insists on automatically adding the intranet FQDN. So I now have two separate entries for the same server:
\\DBServer01 - component server, site database server, site system
\\DBServer01.contoso.com - component server, reporting services point, site system
Any thoughts on how to stop these errors?

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up.
In the past when I have seen this, they will automatically clean themselves up after a few days. (aka up to a week later). Have it clean itself up yet?

Reporting Services Point SSL after Role installed

Scenario,
Reporting Services (SQL 2012) installed on a remote server and not configured with SSL. Reporting Services Point installed and functioning correctly.
We now have enabled SSL in RS Configuration using a cname for the certificate (sccmreports.domain.com) and it is working via web browser, however when I attempt to remove the port 80 binding it breaks SCCM's ability to connect to the reporting point via
the admin console. Presumably, if SSL is not enabled prior to installing the RSP that SCCM only knows to connect via HTTP?
If this is the case, outside of uninstalling and re-installing the RSP now is there a way to "tell" SCCM to use HTTPS to connect? Maybe its a different issue altogether?
Thanks!

The SSRS connection info is stored in Site control file, which is in the view vSMS_SC_SiteControlXML. If you change the SSRS address manually, the info cannot be updated automatically so that you must reinstall SSRS.

Reporting Services web service complex xml type report parameters

Hi,
I have the following xml type parameter in my request query that I use in reporting services.
<Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
<DefaultValue>
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>Sales</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
</DefaultValue>
I want to know how I can assign values to the accountDetails parameter from report parameters, I've tried to call it from the dataset parameter properties but it doesn't return any values. I created Parameters!accountDetails.Value on the dataset parameters
properties and assigned it the following value: it only returns empty columns
="<AccountDetailDto><AccountNumber>"& Parameters!AccountNumber.Value &"</AccountNumber><AccountType>"& Parameters!AccountType.Value &"</AccountType></AccountDetailDto>"
You're help will be highly appreciated as I've been trying to solve this for a while now

Hi Alisa,
Perhaps I should explain my problem clearly...
This is my query request that I send to the webservice:
<Query>
<Method Name="GetPerAccountAssetAllocation" Namespace="http://tempuri.org/">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
<DefaultValue>
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>JSE</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/IPortfolioManagementService/GetPerAccountAssetAllocation</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
It works well when I run it just like this, that is without specifying any parameters in the report data dialogue window or on the dataset parameters properties, it returns the values and columns correctly.
So my problem is, I need to find out how(xml parameter syntax, steps e.t.c)
I can do to allow users to specify the accountDetails parameter, its quite tricky for me coz its an xml type parameter, Im not sure if I should just specify the AccountNumber and
ReportType parameters separately:
I've tried the following without any success:
1. Under the dataset properties: I tried not to specify a default value for the accountDetails parameter on the xml query, then I added a parameter called "accountDetails" under the dataset parameters properties, then under parameter
value I added the following xml value :
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>Parameters!AccountNumber.Value</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>Parameters!AccountType.Value</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
(I also added the AccountNumber and AccountType parameters under the report data dialogue window)
This returns empty columns, is there something I'm missing, or am I doing this incorrectly?

Reporting Services Point - possibly permissions issue

I'm having a really hard time configuring a working reporting services point in my test SCCM 2012 R2 environment and was hoping someone might be able to help me work out what's gone wrong.
My servers are WS2008 R2. SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed on the primary site server and holds the site database. I installed SSRS onto a separate site server and added it as a reporting services point. This worked, and I see the list of
reports in the SCCM admin console. However, when I try to run a report - either from the console or via web browser - I get this message:
The default value expression for the report parameter 'usertokensids' contains an error. There are no logon servers available to service the logon request. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)

SMSAdminUI.log shows this message:
[25, PID:3096][06/12/2014 11:24:05] :[fqdnofprimaryserver] : The request failed with HTTP status 503: Server Error.
Now, the reason I think this is a permissions issue is because srsrp.log on the Reporting Point server shows this:
(!) Error retrieving folders - [Login failed for user 'domain\reportingservercomputername$'.].
(I've removed the actual name here, obviously.)
I'm really puzzled about what's going on here, what is trying to authenticate with the SSRS server's machine credentials, and what for. Looking in SQL Server Management Studio on the primary site server which hosts the SQL database, I can see that
the account has a login listed and it has its default schema listed as DBO. On the SSRS server, in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the Report Server Service Account is set to a dedicated domain user account. The Current Report Server
Database Credential is set to my own Windows login using Current User - Integrated Security - I can't seem to get it to accept the dedicated user account.
Can anyone help me figure out what's gone wrong and how I fix it, please? I'm by no means a SQL person, and I'm at my wit's end with this!
Thanks,
M

The plot thickens.
The SSRS server has these:
"The report server has detected a possible denial of service attack. The report server is dropping requests for service from the IP address 192.168.113.163" (this is the IP address of the primary site system, which hosts the SQL database)
and then
"Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database"
The primary site system, meanwhile, has got thousands of these:
"Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\SSRSSERVERNAME$'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: 192.168.113.164]" (that's the IP of the SSRS server)
The Windows firewall is off for both systems. They're on an isolated test network. I still don't understand where the setting is that tells it to make SQL queries using the SSRS server's machine account, rather than the dedicated service account
I created.
Any more ideas? Thanks for your help so far - I really appreciate it!

Reporting Services - All Datasets Broken

Hello there.
We’re having some problems with Reporting Services on a prod site and I was hoping someone might be able to offer a suggestion.
Here are the facts :
We have a SP Server 2010 (not foundation) farm which uses Reporting Services. There is 1 web / application server and 1 SQL server. Reporting Services 2008 R2 is installed on the SQL box.
Sometime in the last 2 weeks the reports all stopped working (last known report run 2 weeks ago). This was picked up yesterday. I'm not aware of anything being manually changed in the farm to cause this.
The reports report directly on SP lists using datasets with SharePoint data connections. There is one dataset per list.
The SQL / Reporting Services box has previously had SP installed on it (Ouch! Inherited system – not sure why SP was installed on SQL box).
A few weeks ago we stopped all SP services on the SQL box but did not uninstall SP from it. This did not affect reporting at the time.
When a report fails, we see this message in the UI :
Looking in the reporting services log messages are like the following, one per dataset :
Query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. ---> System.ArgumentException: Feature '22d91f57-00d1-4e0b-9c04-863a82deaa07' for list template '10001' is not installed in this farm.
The operation could not be completed.
This happens for all datasets for all reports. All datasets are complaining that the feature for the list the data set uses is missing. These are features with list definitions / instances for the lists used in the reports.
The initial thought was that someone had renamed a field or similar, but this would only impact that one dataset. What we are seeing is that
all datasets simultaneously broke.
The features Reporting Services are complaining about are indeed activated in SP in the relevant webs.
On the SQL box the folders for the features Reporting Services are complaining about are not present in the 14 hive at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES, but then as far as I know they never were. On
our dev environment we deleted these feature folders but this didn't reproduce the same error.
We modified an unrelated SP list view yesterday via the SP UI. It’s unlikely but I wonder if there is some kind of list definition XML / voodoo behind the scenes that was interrupted by this.
If you open the broken report in Report Builder directly from SP (via the list context menu), you can run the datasets OK, and do a test connection for the data source - but if you run the report itself you get the usual error. If I use Report Builder on
my local machine to try to save to the web where the reports are stored, I get one of the “feature…is not installed in this farm” errors. I can’t even browse to that web in Report Builder without getting the error.
Things I've tried so far (my infrastructure experience amounts to restart things until they work):
App pool recycle web server.
IISReset web server.
Restart reporting service on SQL box.
Delete the view I thought might have been somehow related.
In summary I have no idea what the root cause is here or what has changed recently. I’m a
programmer and someone else who is no longer available set up this environment so I’m a bit stuck!
Thanks for reading.

We've resolved this.
It turns out the features it was complaining about really were missing on the Reporting Services box and needed to be present. I wrongly concluded this wasn't the problem initially when we deleted these features on a dev box, restarted a few things and reports
didn't break. I guess something was still being cached somewhere.
Best guess as to why the features went away is that when we disabled all of the SP services on the reporting services box via Central Admin, one of these (probably SharePoint Foundation Web Application), all custom features / solutions were removed
from the box.
Moral of the story I think is make sure your reporting services box is a valid part of the SP farm and has all required features present.
