Shared Data Subreports

Post Author: jcpub
CA Forum: General
I have a report that includes several subreports. Some of the subreports include numeric data that I want to total in another subreport. I found instructions on having a variable in the main report shared with subreports but I am unable to make this work between subreports. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

placement of shared variables is important in crystal. make sure the formula in the main report is below the subreport.

How do I use a shared data source in my dataset in this new UI?

I'm new to SSRS 2012 and am having trouble with the UI. All of my experience is with SSRS 2005, and this is quite different.
So I created a shared data source in my new project. Next I added a report (non-wizard, I'm going for hand-crafted). Looking at the UI I have a report data window on the left side of VS 2010, and in it are a couple of menus and a tree navigation pane. If I
select the new menu, and then dataset (since I want to add the data to my report first) I get the Dataset property window. After selecting 'Use a dataset embedded in my report' a new panel is displayed where I can set up a new dataset. But from what I see
here all I can do is create a new data source, but I want to use my shared datasource. I would think it would just be in the data source drop down presented, but that is empty (I had an image that illustrated all this but I keep being told I need to 'verify
my account', and after doing so I'm still getting that error... oh well, I don't have enough time to keep verifying my account here).
In 2005 I could choose a shared datasource, and it doesn't seem logical that this functionality would be removed. What am I missing here?
Any help would be much appreciated.

First right-click on your reports' Data Sources and add a reference to the Shared Data Source, by selecting "Use Shared Data Source Reference" in the "Add Data Source" dialog.

Working with multiple users and computers, but shared data

Sorry if this is posted in a poor place, I'm not sure where the best place is. This is sort of a general questions.
For a long time, my wife and I have had either one computer, or two machines but one has definitely been just a terminal. We've basically set up all of our data to be one one primary machine, and if we want to view/edit that data we have to use that machine.
We just got a new MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to use two machines as equals. Sadly, this idea of multiple computers, with two users and some shared data is really giving me difficulty. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to best manage things like:
Synchronizing portions of our contact list (We share about 50% of the combined library -- we don't have to share all though).
How to manage iPhoto so that we can each have access to the photos. As an added difficulty (or maybe this is easier?) my Wife just wants to have access to the pictures for viewing and sharing on Facebook/Picassa/etc. I am the only one who wants to edit, correct and cull our library. That said, I always edit when I first put the data on the machine, and almost never again; so it would be fine to have one (or both accounts) set up as view only for the iPhoto data.
How to manage iTunes so that we can each have access to the music. As a super awesome bonus, it would be great if we could have three libraries: His, Hers and Shared. Maybe as much as 30% of our music library is similar, the rest just gets in the way.
What is the best solution people have found for calendars? (I'm thinking two separate calendars, and we each subscribe to each others iCal feed)
Mail.app and bookmark synching is not really a problem for us.
Two extra points:
* One machine is portable, and the other isn't. Ideally, when the laptop is out of the house, both machines should still have reasonable access to the shared data. That is: Just dumping things in the shared folder won't work because when the laptop is out of the house we will be disconnected from the source data.
* We just got a second iPhone. This means that both of us will be taking photos/video separately and trying to synch back to the master data store.
* Basically, I'm trying to minimize data duplication as much as possible, and just synchronize the systems to each other.
Thanks a ton in advance. If anyone has any suggestions at all, I would love to hear them. Including "This is in the wrong forum, go ask here instead..."

So you have a desktop Mac and a laptop Mac, right? Two user accounts (and a third admin account) on each computer, right?
I profess that I haven't tried this, but here is how I would approach your problem:
Sharing Music and Photos between multiple user accounts on the same computer:
See if http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=194992 and http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=510993 provide any useful information to assist you in this endeavor.
Sharing across multiple computers:
Turn on file sharing on the Desktop (System Preferences > Sharing). Now you can mount the Desktop as an external drive on the laptop's Desktop. Copy the music and photo folders across. Will take awhile to do the first time. Then, for future use, get a copy of the donationware CarbonCopyCloner or equivalent. You can use CCC to selectively sync specific folders from one computer to the other. There may be a hassle with digital copyright issues on music and movies, though.
Calendars:
As you have suggested yourself, publishing yours and subscribing to hers is probably the best way to do it, on the same computer. Across computers, syncing with CCC or equivalent would probably be the way to go.

SharePoint 2010 Report using a Shared Data Source Connection file (.rsds) is forcibly closed.

Hi -
When attempting to render a report (.rdl) in a SharePoint 2010 document library that has a
Connection Type specified as a Shared data source (the connection succeeds when tested in the SharedDataSource.aspx page), the following error message is displayed in the report:
The data source that I'm using passes the test when tested in isolation but when used in the report it yields to the error message above. Below are some of the details of the .rsds file:
For this particular Web Application, Kerberos has been enabled. I couldn't spot any traces in ULS nor in the Security Windows logs.
Any feedback on how to fix this issue is appreciated.
Thanks.

Shared Data Source with prompted credentials - errors out.

Using Data Tools (VS 2010) to build report.
Have built a simple report while trying to diagnose this issue. This report is created in a project that was originally built in BIDS2008 and migrated to Data Tools 2010. This project contains an original shared dataset that does NOT
error out.
Report contains
     1) shared data source with properties set to prompted credentials.
     2) shared dataset using data source above
     3) 2 parameters (month and year)
     4) Report uses shared dataset
     5) 2 text boxes in the report body to display the parameters values.
When I try to preview this report I get the error:
     The execution failed for the shared data set "xxx"
     Cannot create a connection to data source 'Data source for shared dataset'
     Security processing failed with reason "3" ("password missing")
Now, if I changed that same shared dataset to use a static login and password; the report renders fine.
What is going on???

Hi RoseNeedsAVacation,
When you use shared data source with "Prompt for credential" option, please use SQL Server login credential to u view the report in BIDS or SSDT report designer environment.
Note: The shared data source will automatic switch to SQL Server authentication mode if we use "Prompt for credential" option.
After you deploy your report and shared data source to report server, please remember to configure your shared data source to use "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" option. Furthermore, select "Use
as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source" checkbox if the credentials that the user provides are Windows Authentication credentials. Do not select this check box if you are using database authentication (for example, SQL
Server Authentication).
For more information, please refer to the article below:

Caching user shared data in WebDynPro (i.e. applicationBean)

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a standard way to cache/access user shared data on the J2EE engine running my WebDynPro app.
I need to do that because Bapis call in our application are expensive. Thus we want to minimize them. It would be impossible to rewrite the whole backend, because we're migrating from an existing application.
I thought about sharing through a database local to the J2EE engine, or file sharing through a lock. But I bet these options are likely to hinder me than anything else.
Does anybody has a suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Alexis Trudeau

Indeed, my explanations are a bit misleading. According to your definition, I'm talking about shared data.
For example, in my application we have user profiles. Each user has a subset of these profiles.
Usually, these profiles are only modified during the deployment stage on the client's infrastructure.
Once settled, these profiles are static during production. In that case, I'd rather fetch all the profile once, and work with them locally on the J2EE engine instead of fetching them each time a user is authentified.
Do you have further suggestions?
P.S. Yes, I do use NetWeaver wizard to create Adaptive RFC Model

Best practice for sharing data with model window

Hi team,
what would the best practice for sharing data with a modal
window be ? I use a modal window to display record details from a
record list, but i am not quite sure how to access the data from
the components in the main application in the modal window.
Any hints would be welcome
Best
Frank

Pass a reference to the parent into the modal popup. Then you
can reference anything in the parent scope.
I haven't done this i 2.0 yet so I can't give you code. I'll
post if I do.
Oh, also, you can reference the parent using parentDocument.
So in the popup you could do:
parentDocument.myPublicVariable = "whatever";

Shared data plans not available when upgrading to iphone5

Last night I upgraded two 3G smartphone and a basic phone to iphone5's for all three of us. Currently on shared unlimited data/text and 1400 min. shared voice. The ordering process would not allow me to select the new tiered shared data plans. It only made individual data plans available and these were combined with aspects of the old plan ($10/month access fee, 1400 shared minutes, etc.). My chat with customer rep "Sunny" was inconclusive as he/she only stated that I couldn't order new phones and the new shared data plan all at once, but would have to order the phones and then switch the data plan after phones are activated (shipping 10/26).
Anybody else gone through this frustrating process? Should I just wait until the iphone5's show up and try to switch plans then? Or should I sit through the 30-45 minutes customer service hold time and try to resolve this now?
Thanks.
Ken

Ordering online usually doesn't allow for more than one change to the account at a time. You have to complete the upgrade in one step. Then once that is finalized in the account, then you can change to the Share Everything plans.
You might be able to complete both changes at same time if you ordered through customer service via phone.

Lync sharing data

I have some problem when sharing desktop with MS Lync 2010 at my application side. My application use rfx for encoding sharing data, then send data to MS Lync 2010 side, but MS Lync only display a black rectangle and send mouse and keyboard event to my application(MS
Lync can remote mouse pointer and typing at my app side).
MS Lync 2010 can decode rfx encode data? If not, can i find the data format use in MS Lync 2010 client side?
Thanks in advance.

Your question is more related with Lync Development, I would recommend you post your question in the following forum, you can get a better response there.

How does the shared data get applied?

We have 2 mobile phones in a shared data business plan. One phone has 2.5gb of data allowance and mine has 6gb of data allowance. I am about to exceed my allowance for the month but the other phone still has 2gb of available allowance.
How do I avail myself of the allowance of the other phone? Is it automatically done for me?
Thanks

Hi Swerv, if you are sharing the data on a business fleet plan then as long as the combined usage does not exceed the combined allowance, you have not gone over. So for example you use 1GB on one phone and 7GB on the other, you are within allowance.

Clarification?: Frank & Lynn's book - task flow "shared" data control scope

I'm seeking clarification around shared data control scopes please, regarding a point made in Frank Nimphius and Lynn Munsinger's "Oracle Fusion Developer Guide" McGraw-Hill book.
On page 229 there is a note that states "The data control scope can be shared only if the transaction is also shared". Presumably this implies that only the transaction options "Always Use Existing Transaction" or "Use Existing Transaction if Possible" are applicable for a shared data control scope.
However this seems at odds with what the IDE supports, as you can also select the transaction options "<No Controller Transaction>" and "Always Begin New Transaction" when the data control scope is set to shared.
What's correct? The IDE or the book?
Your assistance appreciated.
CM.

Chris,
"The data control scope can be shared only if the transaction is also shared"
At least the book stands correct for what I could test in a simple test case:
1. no transaction - no sharing
- no master/detail synchronization. DC are bot shared
- commit in called btf does not commit caller task flow
2. "always use existing" transaction selects shared Data Control and automatically disables this field so there is no other option for this
3. Share DataControl and "Always begin transaction"
Committing transaction in called btf also commits the transaction in calling TF
So bottom line is that the transaction handling in ADFc appears to be confusing as it only is a directive for the DataControl to interpret.
Also see page 14 "Task flow "new transaction" vs. "new db connection"" of : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/march2011-otn-harvest-351896.pdf
In ADF BC it seems that separated transactions only exist if you use isolated mode. If you use shared and new transaction then basically the transactions are not isolated.
Frank
Ps.: I took an action item to follow up with development about what the expected ADF BC behavior for the controller settings are.

SRS Browser Role Cannot Access Shared Data Sources

I've created some reports using VS and shared data sources and deployed. I can run reports (I'm a domain admin), but users I've given system administrator roles within SRS cannot access shared data sources. However, if I embed the data source, everything
is fine. I'm pulling data from three different servers, so the shared data sources are somewhat important. I'm using SQL Native userid/passwords not windows authentication. Anybody got any ideas? I'm new to SRS. Thanks.

Hi Janetb,
I’m confused about the meaning of “cannot access shared data sources”. Are you saying the user cannot see the Shared Data Sources in Report Server, but he can render the report well? Or the user cannot render the report well because he have no permission
to access shared data sources?
If in this first scenario, means that the role of the user have no permission to View data sources. To fix this issue, we can add View data sources task to the current role in SQL Server Management Studio.
If in the second scenario, it is so strange. In my test, I add Browser role of the report to one user which has no permission to access the shared data sources, but he can render the report which retrieve data from the shared data sources very well.
To troubleshooting this issue more efficiently, could you tell us the scenario you occurred and the error message you received? So that we can make further analysis and help you out.
Thanks,

Dual-booting with other Linuxes; shared data partition

I've got two entirely-blank 320GB hard drives on my computer, and I'd like to dual-boot Arch and Debian on it (and potentially others later). How should I set up GRUB (or GRUB2-- the wiki says that it's a better option when dual booting with other distros) for each OS in order to have both of them able to boot, as well as retaining the capability of adding other distros? (Assuming that Arch's GRUB(2), not Debian's, will be installed to the MBR.)
In addition, I'd like to keep my config files and data separate (with a shared data partition on HD 2).
- What is the best way to set this up separately from the /home partition, i.e. mount /data on startup and be able to access it quickly from a filemanager or the commandline? I venture a guess that I'd edit /etc/fstab and add a symlink to /data within /home/USERNAME...
- What is the right size for the /home partition in this setup?
A tentative partition scheme is as follows (note that I have 4GB RAM, since that factors into swap size):
HD 1
4GB shared swap partition
256MB ext3 Arch /boot partition
20GB ext4 Arch / partition
? ext4 Arch /home partition *see note above*
256MB ext3 Debian /boot partition
20GB ext4 Debian / partition
? ext4 Debian /home partition *see note above*
(free space)
HD 2
320GB shared ext4 data partition

Most of it is a matter of opinion I think, but since I have a similar setup I'll throw in my two cents.

I use GRUB (legacy). Adding a distro in the grub menu is just a matter of finding the kernel and initram image of the distro and adding an entry. OS's generally either have a fixed location/name for the kernel and image or have a fixed link, so there are no problems on updates. I really don't like GRUB 2 and don't see the point of using it unless you are using something exotic that GRUB doesn't support.

I just mount the data partition in /mnt/data and make symlinks from my home partition. In my case the data partition is ntfs, since I also use windows. My home partition contains 1.2 GB, of which 600 MB source code. So if you only keep configs in them it probably won't reach 1 GB.

In my opinion a seperate boot partition is only useful for the OS of which the bootloader is installed to the MBR.

Sharing data in the JRE

I Have a class called syncList that basically has a static List and is also a singleton. I have 2 other classes that use syncList called syncListTest1 and syncListTest2.
syncListTest1 puts an entry into the static list and then displays its contents then waits for thirty seconds(just for testing purposes).
syncListTest2 simply reads the static Lists contents.
When I execute syncListTest1 from a command line and then syncListTest2 from another command line syncListTest2 shows the list as being empty.
My question is: Is there any way of sharing the same syncList between separate applications so that each application can share the same List data?
Any help would be much appreciated before I tear out the last of my receding hairline!!!
Code for syncList.
import java.util.*;
public class syncList
   private static List<String> sl = new ArrayList<String>();
   private static syncList ref;
   private syncList()
   public static synchronized syncList getSyncList()
      if (ref == null)
         System.out.println( "ref is null, creating syncList" );
         ref = new syncList();
      else
         System.out.println( "ref is NOT null, creting syncList" );
      return ref;
   public void add( String Val )
      sl.add( Val );
   public void remove( String Val )
      sl.remove( sl.indexOf( Val ) );
   public void removeAll()
      sl.clear();
   public void showMe()
      for( int i = 0; i < sl.size(); i++ )
         System.out.println( i + " " + sl.get(i) );
}Code for syncListTest1.
public class syncListTest1
   public static void main( String[] args )
      syncList.getSyncList().add( "1 Added" );
      syncList.getSyncList().showMe();
      try
         Thread.sleep(30000);
      catch( InterruptedException e )
}Code for syncListTest2.
public class syncListTest2
   public static void main( String[] args )
      syncList.getSyncList().showMe();
}

Hi
When you say that a class is a Singleton, you basically want the JVM to ensure that there is only one instance of the object [This you do by declaring the costructor private and an instance static member]... Now, look at it from JVM's point of view, there is one class with one static member that is created within the class [getInstance() method]... The JVM has no way to tell anyone or even know the existence of anyone else outside itself.... in your case another JVM. You obviously have to make the two JVMs talk... now the problem remains, how to get them talk.....
There are many solutions to your problem... You are trying to do a IPC [Inter Process Communication] which can be done using socket programming/shared memory... etc...
There is another set of solution which deals with J2EE application server clustering....
But looking at your problem, looks like you want a clean and simple way to do this....
well... one of the very easy ways I would have done it was to use JGroups [Assuming I am not in a J2EE container which provides better options]. This is a very simple clustering framework which helps you replicate some datastructures [in your case a hashmap] over different JVMs and maybe on different machines.... In a very simple High Level overview, it broadcasts the shared datastructure content over the network and all the peers listen to the message thereby updating the shared data.
Infact JGroups provides a DistributedHashtable [http://www.jgroups.org/javagroupsnew/docs/newuser/node55.html]
Hope this helps

Shared data in custom component and FPM_FORM_UIBB

Hi all,
is it possible to share data between a form UIBB and a custom building block context. It probably can be done with shared classes, but is it possible to use the shared data interface and how?
kind regards,
Pieter

Hi Pieter,
As you already said , it is possible by shared classes, i am afraid that it is not possible to have the Shared Component, interface to get worked the way you would like to have.
