Ssrs expression to sql query

Hi,
I am unable to convert the below ssrs expression to sql query. can you guys help.
--          IIF(Parameters!parameter1.Value Is Nothing, 
--               " 3>2 ", 
--               "column1 NOT LIKE
--                           Replace(IIF(Left(Parameters!parameter1.Value, 1) = "'", 
--                                             Parameters!parameter1.Value, 
--                                             "'" & Replace(Parameters!parameter1.Value, "'", "''")  "'"),
Thanks.

Thank you for your response Carnegie,
I actually have two stored procedures as below. (columns and joined tables are excluded)
I need to change the dates of @DateFrom and @DateTo parameter, I am passing @DateFrom_FD and @DateTo_LD as well.
CREATE ROCEDURE [dbo].[Test]
(@DateFrom
SMALLDATETIME
  , @DateTo
SMALLDATETIME
  , @program
VARCHAR(MAX))
AS
DECLARE
@DateFrom_FD
SMALLDATETIME
       , @DateTo_LD
SMALLDATETIME
SET @DateFrom_FD = DATEADD(MONTH,DATEDIFF(MONTH,0,@DateFrom),0)
SET @DateTo_LD = DATEADD(DAY,-1,DATEADD(MONTH,DATEDIFF(MONTH,0,@DateTo)+1,0)) 
SELECT 
  DimDate.[Year]
, DimDate.[Month]
, DimDate.PK_Date
, CustomerID
FROM DimDate
WHERE DimDate.PK_Date BETWEEN @DateFrom_FD AND @DateTo_LD
Now I am using one of the SP as a main report and the other SP as a subreport.
In order to configure the main report and the subreport, I believe that I need to link them with parameters.
However, in the parameters of subreport properties, the option given are only @DateFrom and @DateTo.
No @DateFrom_FD AND @DateTo_LD
Therefore, I am thinking to use expressions to convert @DateFrom and @DateTo the same way I did in SQL.
I am not sure if this works....but this is the only thing that I could think of.
Thank you,

  • [SQL QUERY] Select TCP Port Monitors and their related Watcher Node

    Hi everybody,
    I'm working on a SSRS report and SQL Query, I have no problem to find all my TCP Port Monitor (SCOM 2012 R2) based on the DisplayName, but I can't figure out how to get their related watcher nodes (in my case only 1 computer is a watcher node).
    I can't find which table, which field, contains this information..?
    Here is the query i started to write (i select * since i still searching for the right column):
    SELECT
    FROM StateView s
    INNER JOIN BaseManagedEntity me on me.BaseManagedEntityId=s.BaseManagedEntityId
    INNER JOIN MonitorView mv on mv.Id=s.MonitorId
    INNER JOIN ManagedTypeView mtv on mtv.Id=s.TargetManagedEntityType
    --where mv.DisplayName like 'Ping Target Status Check%'
    AND me.IsDeleted = '0'
    where mv.DisplayName like '%tcpmon%'
    and mv.LanguageCode = 'ENU'
    --and s.HealthState in (@state)
    ORDER BY s.Lastmodified DESC
    It would be great if someone can help me !
    Thanks,
    Julien

    Hi,
    After creating a TCP port monitor, we can find a table for this monitor under operationsmanager database :
    SELECT *
    FROM [OperationsManager].[dbo].[MT_TCPPortCheck_******WatcherComputersGroup]
    You will find the warcher computer group.

  • Convert SQL Query in SSRS

    In SSRS you just need to use  matrix container and use query as below
    Select dgroup 'dgroup',cast(Convert(varchar(10),ddate,101)+' '+ convert(varchar(3),ddate,108) +'00' as date) ddate1,convert(varchar(3),ddate,108) +'00' dtime From tickets_every_hour_ict
    Then in report add dtime column inside column group of matrix and add
    =Count(Fields!dgroup.value)
    as expression inside data area.
    add
    ddate1 to row group and you'll get pivoted values

  • How to pass parameter value as "where [fieldname] = [fieldvalue]" in sql query under query type in SSRS report?

    I am having trouble with passing dynamic string to sql query for executing SSRS reports.
    I am using oracle database and I want to pass where clause parameter as "where LAND_NR = 6" to my select query.
    For example: I want to execute Select * from employee :p_where.
    where p_where parameter holds value "where LAND_NR = 6"
    So it will treat as "Select * from employee where LAND_NR = 6" statement which will give me the list of records to display in my reports.
    But it's not taking correct sql command throwing an error as "SQLcommand not properly ended."
    How can I achieve this?

    You need to use dynamic sql
    But please keep in mind that since you're using Oracle you may be better off posting this in some Oracle forums
    This forum is specifically for SQL Server

    Interestingly, if i exceute the same query in the SQL plus

    is there any way where i can get xml document with table
    structure, when there are no rows instead of ORA error message.

    Ok.
    I assume that you have for one activity several asset PNR and for one asset several activity.
    The factPNR is on this way a real bridge table. It's a way to be able to design a many-to-many relationship.
    Have a look here for more detail on how to build a many-to-many relationship :
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dw/data_quality/relationships#many-to-many
    Therefore I assume that you want this design :
    DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < FactPNR >- DimPNR  and you will have :
    DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < BridgeTable >- DimPNR  How to build your bridge table ?
    In the physical layer, :
    * create a new table BridgeActivityPNR, open it and select "statement"
    * enter your sql statement
    SELECT DISTINCT A.ROW_WID ACTIVIDAD_WID, B.ROW_WID ASSET_WID
    FROM W_ACTIVITY_F A,
    W_ASSET_D B,
    W_SRVREQ_D C,
    X_S_CMPT_MTRC_F D,
    X_S_ASSET_FEA_D E
    WHERE A.X_SRA_SR_ID=C.INTEGRATION_ID AND
    C.X_VLG_FLIGHT_ID=D.X_ROW_ID AND
    D.X_ROW_ID=E.X_CM_ID AND
    E.X_ASSET_ID=B.X_ROW_ID* add two columns in the column tab : ACTIVIDAD_WID and ASSET_WID
    * create the physical join with the table FactActivity and DimPNR
    * drag and drop in the business model your table BridgeActivityPNR
    * in the BMM, create the complex join like this :
    DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < BridgeTable >- DimPNR  * open your logical bridge table and check the bridge table option.
    And you are done if I didn't forget anything.

  • SQL query from toplink expression

    Hi,
    I have a oracle.toplink.expressions.Expression object with me which has been created using oracle.toplink.expressions.ExpressionBuilder. I want to find its equivalent SQL query(say select emp.empname,emp.empId from employee emp) which will be fired in order to fetch data i.e. find its equivalent Statement/PreparedStatement or anything which will help me obtain the raw SQL statement about to be fired.
    Please let me know if there is any soln.
    Thanks,

    You can create ReadAllQuery with the expression and get the query's SQL using query.prepareCall() and then query.getSQLString().

  • SSRS Report Viewer 2012 Cancel Link on loading spinner not stopping SQL Query

    Hi
    I searched the forum for this one and didn't find anything germane, so here goes.
    In SSRS 2012 when running a report interactively if you hit cancel it basically does nothing but stop the spinner and prevent the request from completing.
    I'd like to kill the SQL Query (dataset refresh) when the Cancel link is pressed.
    I recall seeing on article somewhere about doing a callback and calling some other method on the web service to kill the query, but I can't find it now.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi James,
    In SQL Server Reporting Services, a job will be created by SQL Server Agent if any of the following processes is underway:
    query execution on a remote or local database server
    report processing
    report rendering
    To cancel a job that is running on the report server, we can cancel the job directly or reduce the report execution time-out value in the SQL Server Management Studio. Please refer to the steps below:
    Open SQL Server Management Studio, and connect to "Reporting Services".
    Under the Report Server node, right-click on the "Jobs" folder and select "Refresh". Then, right-click on "Jobs" again and click "Cancel All Jobs".
    Right-click on the Report Server node and open the "Server Properties" dialog.
    Click the "Execution" option, and set the "Limit report execution to the following number of seconds:" to a much smaller number. After this issue is resolved, this configuration should revert to the previous state.  
    Reference:
    Managing a Running Process
    Setting Time-out Values for Report and Shared Dataset Processing
    In addition, we can also use the KILL Transact-SQL statement to terminate a normal connection by terminating the transactions that are associated with the specified session ID. For the details information, you can refer to:
    KILL (Transact-SQL)
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • Using a SQL Query in an Alert and Matching a String

    I've created an alert in 12.0.4 using a SQL Query and the field that I'm trying to match is a string.  Originally the query returned multiple rows but when the alert still didn't fire, I modified the query WHERE clause to return only one row:
    NAME                                RESPONSE
    Are area lights working?            No
    My expression in the metric is RESPONSE.  In the Monitor I'm matching a string equal to No.  (Do I need double quotes around the matchvalue?  Single quotes?  No quotes?)  The metric is in the 15min scan group, the role is xMII Developers and I'm in that role. The monitor alert string is ' =  '.  Both metric and monitor are active and I've subscribed to the monitor.  Other alerts in the 15min scan group (all based on tag queries) are firing off properly.
    Why is nothing showing up in the Alert Log?

    Did you figure out the answer?  If not, I will try to find someone to address your question.

  • Use realational operators in an SQL query??????

    does any one knows how to use realational operators in an SQL query??????
    i wud like to do something like
    select decode(2<3,sysdate,sydate +1) from dual
    but i know decode does not supports relational operators......
    thanx and Regards
    amyt

    You can use a CASE statement which does support relational operators, or if you must use DECODE, then you can use something like:
    SELECT DECODE(SIGN(2 - 3),-1,sysdate,sysdate - 1)
    FROM dual;The SIGN function returns -1 if the expression is < 0, 1 if the expression is > 0 and 0 if the expression is 0. This works for numeric comparisions. You can use the GREATEST or LEAST functions in a similar fashion for character comparisions.

    And here is what I have for my Region Source on my report:
    return lib2.report_query.create_report2(v('P40_FORMAT'));
    Here is my error when I run the page:
    failed to parse SQL query:
    ORA-00936: missing expression
    I have tried the region source line in many variations, this is just my latest one. None of them have worked. I am quite obviously missing something quite important and probably extremely silly. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    This query will never work. I marked only couple of errors you have there. Actually,
    I meant "formating" errors rather than "syntactical" errors. You are missing spaces
    all over the place. This is why I suggested to use a CLOB column in a test table
    to return the query for debugging purposes - this is how I do it at least, when I need
    to escape and concatenate a lot of code.
    If you are referencing item values from a user session in a function or a procedure,
    then you need to use the v('ITEM') syntax instead of :ITEM syntax. However, if the
    output of this procedure will be used as a function returning SQL query, you will
    be fine with :ITEM.
