Setting an Alias for a report server URL

Can anyone guide me to on how to set a reporting server alias?
I have links to a set of reports that are accessed via a Sharepoint server site. I want those links to point to the server alias, and not the fully qualified URL of the report.
Thanks
K

Take a look at this thread...

You can create a DNS CNAME, but if you have SSL that will throw a loop in things... Otherwise see the last post in the thread linked above.

Report Server URL field no longer visible in Dashboard Designer after applying SP1 and the October 2011 CU

Environment: 1 WFE on W2K8Ent x64 SP2 | 1 App Server on W2K8 Standard x64 SP2 | 1 Dedicated SQL Server 2008 R2
SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition
I recently applied SP1 and the October 2011 CU (Server updates, not foundation) on both the WFE and the App server and now I'm experiencing an issue with PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer in that when I want to deploy a new SSRS report, I no longer have
the ability to indicate the report server url under the report settings section because it's missing. I also do not have the ability to preview the report nor can I modify any of the settings like Zoom or Format as they're greyed out.
I've been researching for several days now and cannot find anything to remedy my issue. I have reviewed the upgrade logs on both the WFE and App server ... I ran the product config wizard after applying the SP and the update ... Sharepoint is configured
to use Windows Integrated Mode for the reporting services configuration via Central Admin.
I noticed that the web config for my app was updated and compared that against a backup of the old web config and I mainly see diffs in version references for reporting services, etc. (Ex. version 10 in the old, 11 in the new/updated config file).
Anyone else out there have this same issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chad

Ultimately, I ended up installing SharePoint 2010 RTM on a separate system and then copied the folder with the PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer and put that on my PC at work. If you open a PerformancePoint report inside SharePoint, it
will default to the version of the update so be sure to open up the designer from wherever you store it on your PC. You'll know if it's the right one anyways if the URL is missing.
Also, once you've opened the RTM version, this will be the one that opens from the SharePoint shortcut via the Windows Start->All Programs->SharePoint Folder.

Error in Accessing the Report Server URL

Hi All,
I am trying to access the Report Server URL in PowerPivot.But facing below issue .Can any one help me how can I solve the issue
Thanks,
Sid

Hi Visakh,
Yes,The user is holding the permission as "Global User" in sql.Hope you help me in solve this issue
Thanks, Quality Communication Provides Quality Work. http://siddiq-sharepoint2010.blogspot.in/ Siddiqali Mohammad .
Hi siddiqali,
According to the screenshot you posted above, the use account didn't have sufficient permission to open the report, please check the following prerequisites before you perform the action:
You must use a report definition (.rdl) file as a data source. Importing from a report model is not supported.
You must have permission to open the report under your Windows user account, and you must know the address of the report or the report server that hosts it. You can check your permissions by trying to open the report in a Web browser first.
If the report opens, it confirms that you have sufficient permissions and the correct URL.
Reporting Services must be version SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2012. Those versions include the data feed export feature that streams report data in the XML data feed format. You can identify the report server by the Export as Data Feed option
that appears in the report toolbar when you open the report in browser:
For detail information, please see:

Take a look at data templates. You can use the "BeforeReportTrigger" option using a PL/Sql function to accomplish this. Look at the Report Designers guide for information about datatemplates.

Alias for Sender SOAP Adapter URL

When I create a web service for an o/b interface using the wizard, I need to give the URL of the pattern
http://<host:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>
Looking at the URL, I think there is servlet that is processing the incoming SOAP messages based on the parameter (channel) and adding the SOAP Header for Sender Service, Sender Interface from that channel before sending it to IE.
Is there anyway to create aliases for these URLs so that I can have distinct URL for each interface eg. http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation, http://<host:<port>/InvoiceCheck etc?
I need to publish web services in custom-built UDDI tool which expects the URLs to be unique. (This uniqueness should not based on the parameter 'channel'). UDDI tool expects the part of the URL before '?' to be unique, which is not in my case. So, I'm thinking of aliases.
Did anyone create Alias for sender SOAP adapter URL?
I appreciate your inputs on this.
thx
praveen

Stefan,
Creating an alias like (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation) for each web service makes the end Point URL (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>) unique and my custom-built UDDI server would allow it.
In this case, all the aliases would be for the same context path '/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet', right?
I see the following on the help page.
Prerequisites
You must first have the J2EE Web applications deployed so that their aliases are added to the list of available application aliases. Then you can decide which one to remove from it.
Do I need to deploy any J2EE Web Application here?
I'm thinking that since 'XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet' is already deployed, I just have to create a various aliases for it.
I highly appreciate your inputs.
thx
praveen

BIP Report Server URL

How to install SharePoint MOSS 2007 PIK for Crystal Report Server XI R2?

My configuration is :
Moss 2007 without any Crystal Report or BO component. on one box with Windows 2003 server
Cyrstal Report Server XI R2 on another box
I have downloaded the kit installation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/503988db-58c5-2b10-f79d-cb96700417f9 [original link is broken]
I used this one as they said:
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
Download BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit - ZIP 5MB
I do not have BO Enterprise.
Thanks,

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

Reporting Services will not automatically use a different replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue

Reporting Services offers limited support for using AlwaysOn Availability Groups with report server databases. The report server databases can be configured in AG 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. How to overcome this issue? is there any workaround for that..
Rahul

Hi.
With the AlwaysOn listener you should have a single DNS name to connect to regardless of which cluster node is active. Are you using the listener service? If not, please refer to the link below.

Edited by: userR12 on Jan 16, 2010 6:16 AM

Thanks for reply. I restarted reports server also. Is my way of writing EnvId in the link is correct?
I have done the following:
1. Inserted the following into the report server configuration file:
<environment id="default">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH"
value="/oraas/modlive10g:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/printers:${REPORTS_PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/winfont"/>
</environment>
<environment id="testenv">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH"
value="/modapp/modtest10g:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/printers:${REPORTS_PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/winfont"/>
</environment>
2. commented REPORTS_PATH in reports.sh
3.
defaultEnvId="default" added to rwEng line in report server configuration file
4. Restarted Report Server
5. in browser appeneded EnvId=testenv to the application URL.
thanks

Adding a second report server/url

Hello! I am somewhat confused by what I have read in these questions and need some help on how to do this. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and we have set up Reporting Services on it. I created the reportserver database and have a url pointing
to it to access some reports. However, we would like to set up another url pointing to a different set of reports. Can someone please explain on how to do that? Can you use the same reportserver database? Do you just change the target
serverurl somehow to point to a different url? Most of the topics I have found tell me how to set up the initial url. I have done that and it works fine. Thanks for any help with this topic.

Hey,
each instance of report server held it's own database and it's own "URL" - Report manager. Having different URL means having multiple different instance.
Each server can have one default instance, others must be named.
Within one instance, trough Report manager, you can set multiple different user privileges to access only specific reports.

How to create a virtual directory for the Report Server

Hi, I am new to server admin and need help with configuration.
I would like to map a physical directory on the server so that users can use a virtual path to save report outputs in that location. For example the form will call the report with desname = 'd:\xyz\abc.pdf' and the output file will be saved in a predefined directory on the server. I know how to do it on the forms server using the orion_web.xml but not sure about the report server configuration.
We are using rwservlet to run reports on 10G release2/Windows 2000.
Thanks in advance,

Virtual directories are mapped in the httpd.conf file in the Apache directory as aliases:
Alias /xyz/ "d:\xyz\"
You can now call the report output with
http://server/xyz/abc.pdf

Report Server URL page can't be displayed.

So we attempted to upgrade sql 2012 to sql 2014 for SCCM. Upon doing so this broke reporting services. My dbadmin reverted back to sql 2012 and now we cant get reporting services at all to work. The issue started when he went to upgrade sql and
it had an error on the reporting services part because of some ssl cert which I don't think we use since the service urls are all http. I could never get the https to work the first time.
I am doing all of the below on the sql server itself.
in the reporting services configuration manager web service url section when you click on the report server web service url it goes to a page cant be displayed. If you go to the report manager url section and click on the report manager site identification
url it does take you to a webpage but says unable to connect to the remote server.
Any one have any ideas?

What you might do is look at the URL reservations. In order to view what is bound to http.sys you will need to open a command prompt on the server use the following command to view records:
netsh http show urlacl
If someone isn't correct, you can remove it using the following command, as an
example:
netsh http delete urlacl URL=https://servername:443/reportserver
URLs also get written to the rsreportserver.config file. So you may need to remove entries there.
I have had to do this for failed SSRS bindings. When making changes using netsh, do so with extreme care. In theory, removing all your bindings using reporting services configuration manager and re-adding them is supposed to do this for you,
but i've found out that isn't always the case. You could always try that first. It should be noted that in order to complete this step successfully, the report manager URL should be removed first (through the advanced button), then the web service
URL. When adding it back, the order is reversed, with the web service URL being added first and the report manager URL being added second.

Cold Standby Server for Crystal Reports Server...

Hi there,
We have the confirmation from Hong Kong SAP that Crystal Reports Server 2008 does not come with any clustering feature as Business Objects Enterprise does. We are to set up a cold standby server for the production server for high availability. Below is our procedures to work it out:
1) we set up two machines for CRS 2008 with the same licence key and identical hardware; otherwise we clone the production machine to an identical hardware for a cold standby machine
2) we are using our Oracle instance (same instance for both the production and the standby one) for CRS 2008 repository; we bring the production sever offline and perform the standby server installation of CRS 2008 without resetting the repository Oracle database
3) we are to use a SAN LUN for storing the reports produced by CRS 2008
Once the production server does not work properly due to any hardware problem, we switch it off manually and turn on the standby machine and the Crystal Reports service should resume with no repository problem (all the settings) and no loss of printed reports. We would be grateful if you could confirm the feasibility of these procedures. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Jason FU

Correct, CRS is for a single machine use only, that why it is not as expensive as the full BOE. Talk to Sales to upgrade.

How can I set default copies for specific report?

I'm trying to set a default of one copy on a specific concurrent request. In this particular case, the NACHA request that produces the NACHA magnetic file. I have a dummy custom printer driver, style, etc. setup and attached to the NACHA concurrent program so that when it executes (as long as the user remembers to put 1 in the Copies field on the concurrent request screen) it will execute the Unix shell script (it grabs the file and FTP's it somewhere).
The problem is, if the user forgets to put 1 in Copies, the Unix shell script won't execute. I'd like to make it so this one request comes up with a default of 1 in Copies. The only way I know of to set copies is in the site profile, application profile (like HR, AP, etc.) or user profile. I really don't want any of these because then the default will be set for all reports within those respective profiles. I was hoping there was a way to set the number of copies in the printer control file, but thus far I can't find any current documentation that shows the syntax of the available commands for the printer control file. Found something on the Internet, but it looked like it was for Oracle 7, perhaps. We're on 11i. On that page, I saw nothing about setting copies, so I don't know if it was just missed, isn't possible or is possible in the new version.

Looks like I may have found my answer.
Create a report set
Add the concurrent program to the report set
set copies in the options zone of the report set to 1
Run the report set instead of the concurrent program itself and the copies will always be defaulted to 1.
