Running SSRS 2005 in Reports Manager 2012

Hi Guys,
I'm just wondering if there's any implications on deploying SSRS 2005 on Reports Manager 2012( along with SQL Server 2012).
We are upgrading our OS from 2003 to 2008 and we're thinking when we migrate our reports manager to the new sever, we'll upgrade it as well.
We have plans to convert our SSRS 2005 to 2012 but for now we want to put on hold on it and check whether the old version can be ran in Report Manager 2012.
Many thanks.

Hi Vinxster,
Generally, Report definitions are also upgraded when you publish or upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services. The original file is not upgraded unless you open it in Report Designer.
If a report cannot be automatically upgraded, the report is processed using the backward-compatibility mode. The report definition remains in the original schema.
When we upgrade a Reporting Services installation to a SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) installation, Report definition (.rdl) files are automatically upgraded in the following ways:
The Report Server automatically upgrade existing published reports and report snapshots to the new report definition schema for the first time they are processed.
When we open an .rdl file in Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BI Dev Studio), if the report was created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
This is the only way we can upgrade a report definition file.
Note: when we upload a report definition file directly to the Report Server or SharePoint site, the report are not upgraded. We should upgrade the .RDL file in Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BI Dev Studio).
When there are references to custom code embedded in a report or to custom assemblies, reports might require additional steps to complete the upgrade during an upgrade of a report server. Custom assemblies should be moved manually to the new installation
folder if we want to continue using the custom functionality in reports. If these assemblies are installed in the report server installation folder, they need to be moved to the new installation folder after the upgrade completes.

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.

can not open the drop-down arrow besides the report in SSRS report manager to add subscription

Moving Reports to Report Manager 2012

Hi ,
I am migrating and deploying all reports from RM 2005 to RM 2012
Reports still will be using Sql Server 2005, So should I create subscriptions on RM 2012 or Sql Server 2005 reportserver database can handle the subsriptions?
thanks,
Gok

Hi Gok Sky,
As per my understanding, you want to migrate a Reporting Services native mode deployment to a new SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services instance. If that is the case, please refer to the following steps:
Back up database, application, and configuration files.
Back up the encryption key.
Move any custom application files to the new installation.
Configure the report server.
Edit RSReportServer.config to include any custom settings from your previous installation.
Optionally, configure custom Access Control Lists (ACLs) for the new Reporting Services Windows service group.
Test your installation.
Remove unused applications and tools after you have confirmed that the new instance is fully operational.
For detail information about migrating a Reporting Services Installation, please refer to the following documents:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143724(v=sql.110).aspx
If you want to update SSRS 2005 projects to SSRS 2012, we can copy project files from report server 2005 to report server 2012, the reports are automatically upgraded on first use. After you upgrade a report, you might notice additional errors, warnings,
and messages. This is the result of changes to the internal report object model and processing components, which cause messages to appear when underlying problems in the report are detected. For detail information about upgrading Reports, please refer to the
following document:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143674%28v=sql.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
After migration, you can configure subscriptions for the reports in report manager as bhanu_nz mentioned. For more information, please refer to
Subscriptions and Delivery.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

a or f report gives no result and check box get unselect.
I also try on different report manager but same result.
what can be a issue here causing problem only for two value but working fine for other value?
Thanks,

Hi Javed,
The Issue is with when you click on View Report button of Report Manager for Parameters which contain CHAR(10) and CHAR(13).
Where ever that Column is used in Report Data Set ,
Use replace(replace(Param,char(10),''),char(13),'') function.

Config Manager 2012 R2 Update Failed - Now What?

Starting Environment:
Windows Server 2012 VM
Configuration Manager 2012 CU1
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP1 installed on a separate 2 node cluster
We have been running this setup for Config Manager 2012 CU1 for about a year now with no issues at all. In an effort to deploy Windows 8.1 I ran the Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Update. The update failed halfway through. From the ConfigMgrSetup.log
it looks like it wasn't able to connect to the database and this is why the update failed. Problem is after the install failed I am no longer able to connect to the database when opening the CM console. I get the "Configuration Manager cannot connect
to the site" message. Here is the error from the SMSAdminUI.log:

Current SUM configuration uses virtual locations for some of the active SUPs. Please remove any virtual locations from the existing SUM configuration.
There is an active source hierarchy configured for migration. Please stop data gathering for each source site in the source hierarchy.
I do not know how I can fix these errors without being able to connect through the console.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can reconnect the console to the database and eventually successfully run the R2 update?
Database itself seems fine. No errors. Database mounts fine.
Thanks in advance for any input.

ReportServer vs report manager, advantage of ReportServer over report manger

Please tell difference between ReportServer and Report manager.
Also tell Advantage of ReportServer(/ReportServer) over report manger(/Reports)

Hi Mr Vivek Singh,
The Report Manager URL connects to the Report Manger which is just Web-based report access and management tool. It provides the GUI for us to view and manage reports. The Web Services is the core process module of Reporting Services. SQL Server Reporting
Services provides access to the full functionality of the report server through the Report Server Web service. The Report Server Web service is an XML Web service with a SOAP API. It uses SOAP over HTTP and acts as a communications interface between client
programs and the report server. So we can bypass the Report Manager and access the report directly. The Report Manager is just the GUI to mange the reports on Report Server. So the Web Services connects to internal part. For more information, see links
below:
Report Server Web Service
Web Service URL (SSRS Native Mode)
Report Manager (SSRS Native Mode)

SSRS 2005 Encoding Problem

hi , I am using ssrs 2005 for generating PDF the reports. The reports are getting generated with different character encoding. Like if go in the report properties its showing two different character Encoding i.e ANSI and Identity-H encoding.
Is there fix for this ?

Hi pradip nayak ,
According to your description that you are experiencing the issue when you generating the PDF report in SSRS 2005, the reports have different kind of encoding: ANSI and Identity-H, the Identity-H encoding caused some issue, right?
Generally the PDF rendering extension supports ANSI characters, the Identity-H was developed to support pictographic East Asian character sets, as these comprise many more characters than the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic writing systems. If you have the characters
turn into CID font in the PDF which will be the Identity-H encoding, it means that some text content in the PDF Document is now written out using Glyph IDs instead of ANSI characters.
PostScript fonts.
If you have some issue with the Identity-H encoding and because this is an known issue and we already have some hotfix to fix it, please install related hotfix according to your current version :
That is part of a change we had to make in order to correctly support complex script characters (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944358 ). These are used in languages such as Gujarati or Hindi.
This fix is part of the GDI+ GDR (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954607 ), which is part of SSRS 2005 CU9.
If you have some problem For text content written out using Glyph IDs(Identity-H encoding) copy/paste is not supported for documents generated by our current PDF renderer. In order to support this our PDF renderer would need to write out a map that maps
Glyph IDs back to Unicode chars. It is something that is on the list for a future release of SQL Reporting Services.
Would it be possible for you to deploy and render one of your reports on SSRS 2008? It was already added to SSRS 2008 as part of SQL Server 2008 CU1 which we added full RichText support, in this case might give you a more granular separation in terms
of what text content is written out using ANSI characters and Glyph IDs.

All Report Manager Report Name

Hi All,
Report manager has more than 5000 reports. I want to check which all reports are active and which all reports are inactive.
From catalog table I can see report name but if it will be run once also in report manager then only it will show report name in catalog.
Is there any table available on Report Server database from where we can see which all reports are available on Report Manager?
Thanks & Regards,
Khushi

Hi Khushi,
Based on my research, I find that the general properties of all the items (including Date Sources, Datasets and reports) on the Report Manager are stored in the Catalog table in ReportServer database. And it stores the current data refer to the Report Manager.
If we have modify something (upload or delete some documents) on the Report Manager, it takes a synchronous update on the table. So the table is in sync with Report Manager.
Different value in the Type column represent different type in the Report Manager. The type=2 represents Reports in the Report Manger. If we want to select all reports name in Report Manager, we can use the query below:
use ReportServer
select Name
from dbo.Catalog
where dbo.Catalog.Type=2
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

SSRS 2012 - Groups in Report Manager aren't present when exported to Excel

Hi all, hope somebody can help with this issue, as I cant seem to find any other posts about it
I have a report in SSRS2012. It was copied from SSRS2005 quite recently, as we have upgraded. The SQL developer said that it didn't need any code changes, as he had some kind of tool to test code problems between the two versions.
The report has a table, with 5 row groups, and one detail row. The table is setup as follows:
Name                                         Sales
Costs       Profit
Group1
   Group2
      Group3
         Group4
            Group5
               DetailsRow
When I run this report using the Report Manager website from SSRS2005, and then export to Excel 2013, I get the 6 row groups in Excel, no problem whatsoever. I can drill into each group in Excel, using the group drilldown column on the left hand side. This
works the same as the Report Manager website.
If I run the exact same report from the Report Manager website in SSRS2012, the Report Manager result is the same as SSRS2005 - all the row groups are present, and the drilldown works fine. However, the export to Excel has issues with the groups. There are
only 3 row groups showing in Excel, along with a column group added for no apparent reason. Drilling into each group shows inconsistent details, and there is no apparent logic as to what is shown within each group.
Hopefully, someone has seen this issue before, and can help, because I have no idea what to do, having spent a couple of days trying to figure it out. I should also mention, that this issue with groups is seen on all my reports which have groups, not just
this report
Thanks for any and all help
Naz

Hi Naz,
According to your description, the report works correctly in SSRS 2005 while the same report doesn’t work in SSRS 2012 when exporting to a Excel file.
In your scenario, please make sure you are migrating the report from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012 instead of copying the .rdl directly. Generally, we are using Reporting Services Migration Tool to migrate reports between report server. Please refer to this article:
SQL Server Reporting Services: Migrating SSRS reports, data sources and subscriptions from one server to another.
After migrating the report successfully, you should upgrade the report definition in SQL Server Data Tools to upgrade the .rdl file. Please refer to this article:
Upgrade Reports.
If you have upgraded the report but the issue still persists, please provide report design for our analysis. If possible, please provide some screenshots about the preview result and Excel render result.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

SSRS 2012 SP2, Native / Report Manager, non-IE browsers show date parameters in US format MM/DD/YYYY, ignoring locale settings

I have a server running SSRS 2012 SP2, in Native / Report Manager mode. The server, reports, desktop etc are all set to en-AU.
Using IE, date parameters show as expected in DD/MM/YYYY format. However using Chrome or Firefox, they show in US format MM/DD/YYYY.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Jiri,
Thanks for that speedy tip - that has solved it for Chrome.
I followed a similar path to get it fixed for Firefox - Settings / Content / Languages / add English/Australia [en-au] / Move Up to top spot.

"Software Usage Metrics initialize failed" error when open Report Manager, after moving ReportServer from SSRS 2008 to SSRS 2012 (Native Mode)

I've asked this question in SQL Server Upgrade forume, I'm asking here as well:
Your help is highly appreciated!
After migrating ReportServer db from 2008 to 2012, when access Report Manager throughhttp://myserver:80/Reports, I got the error below:

   I deleted the old one(SSRS 2008) through "Remove Server" action and kept the one on my current server(SSRS 2012).
   After I restart SSRS service, and tried to connect Report Manager, I got "An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details."
   I checked the log file, the error is actually "ERROR: Software Usage Metrics initialize failed"
B •I also tried to "Delete Encrypted Content" and did see the SSRS was initialized through checking it on "Scale-out Deployment", however when I tried to open Report Manager, I got the same error.
Anyone had the same issue? Any solution? Thanks in advance!

   I deleted the old one(SSRS 2008) through "Remove Server" action and kept the one on my current server(SSRS 2012).
   After I restart SSRS service, and tried to connect Report Manager, I got "An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details."
   I checked the log file, the error is actually "ERROR: Software Usage Metrics initialize failed"
B •I also tried to "Delete Encrypted Content" and did see the SSRS was initialized through checking it on "Scale-out Deployment", however when I tried to open Report Manager, I got the same error.
Anyone had the same issue? Any solution? Thanks in advance!

SSRS 2012 - Multiple values for filtering (shown while editing in Report Builder) disappear in Report Manager view

Hi,
I have a multiple value parameter, with four specified default values (integers). When opening my report in Edit mode in the Report
Builder, and then pressing "run", I can see the default parameters in the upper section on the screen, and they are acting fine on the report. However, when opening the report from the Report
Manager (by double clicking it from there), the default values have disappeared and I have to fill them in manually. However, the values are not 100% forgotten, because when opening the "manage" section using the drop down
menu in the Report Manager, my default values are there, shown in the list.
Did I do something wrong? Is this a bug? What can I do to solve this?
Nb.:
I'm using SSRS 2012
Dataset created by the query "select parameterID from table group by parameterID"
The full set of parameters are collected by using the above dataset as input for "get values from a query" in "available values"
The default values are set by using the option "specify values" in "default values"
Hope one of you can help me out here!
Sietske
Nb.: For the time being I'm now using a hard coded workaround by adding "where parameterID ='4' or parameterID = '15'" to my select query.

Hi Sietske,
According to your description, there are several suggestions for your reference:
Based on the workaround query that “where parameterID ='4' or parameterID = '15'”, it seems that the parameterID and parameter is a string type field. So please make sure the default value of the parameter is Text data type, like below:
When you go to the Parameters tab after clicking the Manage option over the drop-down list, please enable ‘Has Default’ checkbox, and make sure the values in the ‘Default Value’ drop-down list are correct, then click Apply option.
If the report works well when you open the report in Report Builder, please click Save or (Ctrl+S) button to save the report to report server.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

SubReports Issues in SSRS 2005 Reports Upgrade to 2012

Hi there!
We are planning to upgrade our SSRS 2005 reports to SSRS 2012. As I heard there will are some upgrade compatibility issues, I read the below MSDN article and found that the Reports that include subreports may fail in upgrade. Below
is the article.
Upgrading a Report with Subreports:
When a report contains subreports,
one of four possible states can occur during upgrade:
The main report and all subreports can be successfully upgraded. They are processed by the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) report processor.
The main report and all subreports cannot be upgraded. They are processed by the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report processor.
The main report can be upgraded but one or more subreports cannot be upgraded. The main report is processed by the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) report processor, but the rendered report shows the message "Error: Subreport
could not be processed" in the location where the subreport that could not be upgraded would appear.
The main report cannot be upgraded but one or more subreports can be upgraded. The main report is processed by the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) report processor, but the rendered report shows the message "Error: Subreport
could not be processed" in the location where the subreport would appear.
If you see the error "Error: Subreport could not be processed",
you must change the definition of the main report or the subreport so that the reports can be processed by the same version of the report processor.
Can some one please tell me what does the above line mean? What does it mean by the phrase
change the definition of main report? Does it mean I need to set any property in the main report?
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi Ammy,
When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace. This is the only way
you can upgrade a report definition file. A report with subreports must be processed by the same version of the Reporting Services report processor. When upgrading reports to the current version of the report definition schema, the main report and the subreports
may or may not be updated at the same time. If the version is not compatible between a report and its subreports, the following message is displayed: "Subreport could not be processed."
If we want to change the definition of the report, we can open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). Then the namespace of the report will upgrade to the current namespace. For more information about Identify the Report Schema
Version, please see the following document:

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
