SSRS- report builder showing recent sites and server as blank

Hi All,
A client of ours when executes Report builder is not able to see Report models as report builder just gets open but do not create connection to server.
We have done the following settings for same:
Used both name and IP of system and added the same to Trusted Sites in IE settings
Also we have used port number along with URL for report builder.
We have given all rites to user on reporting services (SQL)
But it is still not showing report models.
Kindly help us. It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance
-Regards
Kumud

Hi Kumud,
According to your description, your client can't see the created report models in Report Builder. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why the client can't see the report models because he doen't connect to report server. Please click the
Connect at the left bottom of Report Builder and type the report server url manually to reconnect the report server.
If the connection is failed, please check if there any process on client side which occupies the port for report server URL. Here are two articles for your reference to do troubleshooting.
Report Builder 3.0 error : Connection Failed. Unable to connect to the server that is specified in the URL
Connecting to Report Server
Since the Semantic modeling language (SMDL) report models are deprecated. Although you can you continue to use existing report models as data sources in SQL Server 2012 or later version Reporting Services reports you should consider updating your reports
to remove their dependency on report models.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Reports builder shows startup screen and hangs...

hi all.
my reports builder does normally start when i double click its icon, and shows the welcome splash screen. but then nothing happens anymore. the process is being shown in the task manager, but nothing more.
i installed some oracle 6.x applications AFTER the installation of iDS90200, so might this be the problem?
thank you for your help.

Hi Joshua,
This depends on your environment, so very difficult to pin-point the problem. However, you can check your system PATH to make sure it points to the iDS JDK directories, eg,
D:\Oracle\iDS10g\jdk\jre\bin\classic;D:\Oracle\iDS10g\jdk\jre\bin;D:\Oracle\iDS10g\jdk\jre\bin\client;D:\Oracle\iDS10g\jdk\bin;D:\Oracle\iDS10g\jlib

Hi nikp11,
According to your description, you recently updated SQL Server 2008 R2 to SP3, Report Builder doesn’t work since then the error occurs: "Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue".
This is an known issue in SSRS 2008 R2 SP3 that Microsoft has published an article addressing this issue. It is not planning to release a fix for this issue. But we could implement one of the following workarounds:
Install and run Report Builder 3.0 of SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM.
Install and run Report Builder of SQL Server 2014.
Uninstall Service Pack 3 then uninstall Service Pack 2 and then reinstall Service Pack 3.
Reference:
Report Builder of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 3 does not launch
Thank you for your understanding.

Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable. However,
all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting. And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model. Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report.
If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report. This does not seem end user friendly at all!
We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
2+. Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources. So we would have to build the Datasets for them. But in that case, what point is there in creating any
Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

Hi Dan,
Report Builder 1.0
Simple template-based reports
Requires report model
Supports only SQL Server, Oracle, and Analysis Services as data sources
Supports RDL 2005
Bundled in SSRS
Report Builder 2.0 or later
Full-featured reports as the BIDS Report Designer
Doesn't require (but supports) report models
Supports any data source
Supports RDL 2008
Available as a separate web download
In your scenario, you want to use Report Builder 1.0 in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, I am afraid this cannot achieve. Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. It is not available as a separate client apps and is
only available as a click once application.
Report Builder 1.0
Report Builder 3.0

Second max/min in ssrs report builder expression

I need to do conditional formatting on second max/min in an ssrs report builder table.
Can i get it in an expression ?

Hi AshishSinghal84,
Based on my understanding, you want to perform conditional formatting on the second maximum or minimum value in Report Builder.
In Reporting Services, there is no built-in function which can return second maximum value. So in this scenario, we can’t directly use expression to perform conditional formatting. However, we can get the second maximum or minimum on query level. Then insert
a column into tablix and use Lookup function to return a specific value so that we can do the conditional formatting based on this value. As we test in our local environment, to perform conditional formatting such as change the color for second maximum value
in Report Builder, we can follow the steps below:
1.Add Dataset2, apply the query below:
select max(sales)
From test
where sales < (select max(sales)
from test)
2.On report, add an Expression “=lookup(Fields!sales.Value,Fields!secondmax.Value,1,"DataSet2")”, looks like below:
3.Click [month], Properties appears on the right panel. Find Color under Font tab, click Expression, then type “=IIF(ReportItems!Textbox6.Value=1,"red","black")”.
4.Right click the third column, choose Column Visibility\Hide, click Ok.
5.Final result looks like below:
To perform conditional formatting on second minimum value, the steps are a little different from getting second maximum value. You should change the query at first step, then apply the query below:
select min(sales)
From test
where sales > (select min(sales)
from test)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Generate report to show all users and groups in Shared Services in EPM 11x

Hi,
Is there any way to generate a report (like a migration report or job status report) which can be generated through workspace/shared services 11.1.1.3 so that my admin can look at all the users and groups created. Something that I can view and probably print out? Any suggestions?

Yes, I knew this one. This basically shows me the users and groups assigned specific provision access. Is there any way to view a report that shows which users and groups have access to dimensions of an individual planning application?

SQL Server 2012 - applying SP2 breaks SSRS Report Builder

Hi,
Had SQL 2012 (was 11.00.2845) and SSRS configured and working.
Applied SQL 2012 SP2 (server now at version 11.0.5058.0 (X64).
But when I goto the typical "http://server/ReportS_INST1 - reports still work ok, but clicking on Report Builder looks like it starts the download and then errors.
The error is "Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.".
Clicking on Details gets the message below. I understand it thinks it has a version mismatch, but anyone know what the resolution should be?
Thanks

Hello,
It seems to me somebody applied SP2 for SQL Server 2012 on an instance that has installed SQL Server 2012 SP1 CTP 4. CTP4 is not
the final version of SP1.
http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com/
My suggestion is to uninstall SP2 (using Control Panel), download and apply SP1 from the following link, and then apply SP2 again.

Hope this helps.

SSRS (Report Builder 3.0) Showing all values for Multiple Line field with Append Changes

ControlMode="Display" ItemId="{@ID}"/>
Any suggestions to show all the appended values?

Report Builder 9.0.4 and Terminal Server 2003

Is anyone running this config? I'm getting intermittent crashes, and wondering if anyone else has seen the same. We are primarily using Report Builder for non-English reports, but the server's base language is English. Prior to launching Builder, we set the NLS_LANG varaible to the target language, then launch. Most crashes seem to occur in the layout editor.

You need to set TNS_ADMIN to the director that contains the tnsnames.ora

Report Builder RDF, XML, REP and Version Control

I'm looking to convert our existing RDF reports to XML format to better support version control and have a few questions.

- This question was asked before, [Thread: Oracle Reports Builder - RDF vs XML|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=721959], but that was over 3 years ago. Have the issues been resolved?

Hi Michael,
Per my understanding that you want to find a solution for version control when you design the report using the Report Builder 3.0, right?
As you know that Report Builder is a tool which can only work on one single file instead of a project , so the current version of Report Builder doesn't have these capabilities. You can submit a feature request about it on the Microsoft UserVoice site
here:
http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/category/53187-sql-bi-tools-srs-ssis-ssas-
Generally, visual Studio Team System and Visual Source Safe integrate with the Visual Studio/BIDS shell and third-party source control solutions like SVN managed from the file system play well with version control. So I would suggest you to consider use
them instead.
In conclusion, one possible workaround for you is that you can save all .rdl files in third part tool’s(TFS) workspace folder for version control purpose (check in, check out with the Windows Shell Extension), and you can use Report Builder to edit these
report files. Then use Report Builder to deploy the .rdl file to Report Server.

Report Builder showing duplicate data

Hi everyone!
When adding sub reports to my table, it now duplicates/repeats the data many times.
why is this happening and how do I stop it?
Thanks :)
Allana

Hi Allana,
When I directly insert a subreport without any parameters to a details row cell, I can easily reproduce this issue in my environment. Generally, if we want to avoid this issue, we must design a parameterized report (for example, a report that shows the details
for a specific customer) as the subreport. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Create a parameter, then add a filter based on the parameter to filter the data in the subreport.
In the main report, insert the subreport with the corresponding parameter values.
Then we can filter the subreport based on the parameter values to eliminate the duplicate data. Besides, we can also add a group in the main report to avoid the duplicate data in main report.

Will Report Builder 2012 Work with SQL Server 2008???

Simple question really
Will Report Builder 2012 work in conjunction with SQL Server 2008???
Is it worth while upgrading?
The main reason i ask is the ability to export in an xlsx format
Thanks

Hi Gmach,
The version of Report Builder on SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 is Report Builder 3.0. The Report Builder 3.0 manufactures 2010 RDL reports, so it only works with the version of SQL Server 2008 R2 or later. So in your scenario, we can no connect
to SQL Server 2008 Server using Report Builder that on SSRS 2012.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Custom Report using Metrics of Instance and Server

Hello
I need to create a custom report using different instance and server metrics like:
File System Space Available
Tablesapaces
Database Spaces usage
Sort in Memory
library Cache Hit
Data Dictionary Hit
Buffer Cache Hit
I already made the report, but I can´t change the size of the graphic (for a better presentation on my report)....
Do you know how can I change the size of the report?
I think that I´m using a "metric" so for that reason I Can´t change the size ... :(

I am currently having a problem with this report and drilldown to KSB1, the cost centers selected int S_ALR_87013611 are not transferring to KSB1 and thus all the cost centers come up in the call to KSB1, are you experiencing this problem? I am on V4.7
