Hello Gok,
Just open the BIDS 2005 SSRS Project in SSDT 2012 (SQL Server Data Tools) and the Project will be automatically migrated to the new Version; pretty simple.

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.
For more information about upgrade reports, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143674.aspx
For more information about upgrade advisor to prepare for upgrades, please see:

You can refer to below article to do the preparetion.

2012 R2 DC refuses to report into 2012 WSUS server

Hi All,Last week, I rolled out a brand new 2012 R2 WSUS box, and let all clients come over to it via GPO (easier route than migrating the existing WSUS setup, as we needed to keep the old WSUS server, due to it running other services too)... Now, all of our machines registered with the new WSUS box, and for the most part, reported their status correctly... However, I have one 2012 R2 DC here that just REFUSES to report into the new WSUS! Yet I have 9 or so other 2012 R2 boxes (that includes 3 more 2012 R2 DC's) that are reporting just fine!It initially registered with the new WSUS box last week, but remained at 0% and claimed it hadn't reported its status yet... I've tried removing it from the WSUS server, and now it won't register either!I've looked at the WindowsUpdate.log file, and it's pointing correctly to the new WSUS box, yet I...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

That page is a link to the Datacenter version of Server 2012 R2 and the one I am attempting to install numerous times is the non data center version. Anyways I selected Datacenter ISO version, registered and then proceeded to the next page where I seen the

Migration of Crystals Reports into OBIEE

Hi,
I have to migrate Crystal Reports into OBIEE without using any third party tool.
How could it be done..any one can help me please...???

Just follow the instructions bellow:-
Reports generated automatically in the 7.5 Excel client that use the EVDRE function with a standard use of built-in parameters can be converted using the EPM add-in to a native 10.0 report.
EVDRE migration has been developed in order to migrate as many features and use cases as possible, but reports that have been heavily customized may not be totally converted automatically and may require some manual modifications. Nevertheless, the objective of the migration is to provide usable reports at the end of the migration. The exact conditions include:
o Multiple EVDRE reports in a complex arrangement or sharing some KeyRanges
o Formulas to calculate parameters
o Use of cell reference indirections to determine EVDRE parameters.
o Use of VBA to call the internal object model of the 7.5 Excel client.
o EVDRE inserted in another EVDRE.

Issues while migration reports to 2012 report server .

I am stuck in report server related issue . Following are steps and log files details for migrating report server database from 2005 to 2012 :-
Back up the encryption key for the report server database.
Back up the report server database a SQL Server database.
Back up the report server configuration files.
Restore the database from the backup created , As temporary database and the main database are depend so they should be restored together.
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the Reporting Services instance you just installed.
Configure URLs for the report server and Report Manager
Configure the report server database, selecting the existing report server database from your previous installation. After successful configuration, the report server services
will restart, and once a connection is made to the report server database, the database will be automatically upgraded to SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services.
As we were not able to figure out the password I tried another approach to test if the
report server works after deleting the encrypted data . I deleted encrypted data.
Error below is shown in log files when I try to access report manager .

Hello Manish,
I am sorry for my delay.
As we know, the service pack of SQL Server is free to download and install, and the latest SP for SQL server 2005 is SP4, so that Microsoft recommend that we migrate the service from SQL Server 2005 SP4 to SQL Server 2012. If you still want to upgrade the
service from SSRS 2005 SP3, we cannot guarantee that all features can work properly, and we did not test it yet. Therefore, I still recommend you upgrade the SQL server 2005 to SP4 if possible.
In addition, you can refer to the following article on MSDN to see whether it can meet your requirement. It is a general step to migrate the SSRS.

I hope it is helpful to you.

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.

File Server Migration from 2008 Standard to 2012 Standard accross different subnet

Hi
Im going to migrate File server from Windows 2008 Standard server to Windows 2012 Standard . Source and Destination Servers are on different subnets . According to this
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj863566.aspx I cannot use Server migrations tool in-built into 2012 . Im not sure if I can use file server migration toolkit 1.2?.
Also my Domain controllers are mixture of Windows 2003, 2008 , 2008 R2 and I've upgraded the schema level to 2012 R2 . Is there anything else I need to be aware of ?
Can anyone please recommended best way to go about doing this migration . Is file server migration toolkit 1.2 is compatible ? .
Only reason I don't want to use Robocopy to this is because If I miss a small setting etc then I will face unwanted downtime.
I presume Migration toolkit will also create all the Quotas etc on the destination server .
Thanks
mumtaz

Hi mumtaz,
We could use file server migration toolkit 1.2 to migrate file server between the two subnets. In order to maintain security settings after the migration, please ensure the security of files and folders after they are migrated to a target file server, the File
Server Migration Wizard applies permissions that are the same as or more restrictive than they were on the source files and folders, depending on the option you select.
In the meantime, quota cannot migrate by this tool but we can export and import the quota using dirquota command. Export the templates as xml and then import to new server:
dirquota template export /file:C:\test.xml
dirquota template import /file:C:\test.xml
For more detailed information, please see:
Template Export and Import Scenarios

NeoDynamic Barcode Proffessional Upload Error in SSRS Report Server 2012

Hi,
I am Developing a SSRS Report for Displaying Barcode . I am Using Neodynamic Barcode Proffessional and the Report is Working fine in Developer Machine (MY Machine). When i try to Upload the Report into SSRS Report Server i get this Error Can any one Help on
this. Thanks in Advance
Note : I am Using SSRS 2012 Version and The Report Server is also the Same

Hi cbazrm,
According to your description, you add an external assembly to display barcode in your report. It works properly in developing environment. But it throw the above error after deploying onto report server. Right?
Based on the error message, the report server side doesn't have the assembly added, so it can't use the assembly to render the barcode.
In this scenario, we should copy the AgeAssembly.dll to the “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin” folder then drag and drop the assembly to the C:\Windows\assembly too.

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?
[email protected]

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

How to Export SSRS report into Excel format using query string

Hello all,
I am new to SSRS world.
Last night i was trying to add a hyperlink on the SSRS report (.rdl) file, by clicking which we can export the report into "Excel" format, but with no luck.
Can anybody tell me how to form the hyperlink, so that we can export the report with its current content ( I mean the report content generated by selecting some parameter values)

Hi Suman85,
Based on your scenario, you want to add a link on the SSRS report file, and then click it you can export the report into “Excel” format.
Just as kishan1901 said , you can add a textbox to your report and type in the words “Click here and export the report
to excel” .Then right-click the textbox and select Properties. Switch to Navigation tab, click the radiobutton of ‘Jump to URL’ and type in the expression ,here is just a example:
="http://vyof1884200/ReportServer$youhoo?/My+Adventure+Works/Product+Sales+and+Profitability+by+Month&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=excel"
Then preview the report ,you will see
Click here and export the report to excel
when you move the mouse to it ,the mouse will become a hand ,then left-click, it will jump out a dialog box to indicate user whether the excel file should be saved , opened or canceled.
I think this is what you want, if you have any further requirement, could you please describe it in more detail? We would give you some resolution or workaround.

Migrate WebDB reports into HTML DB

Hi,
We have a custom application Build on Oracle 8.0 and WebDb and we would like to migrate these webdb reports on to HTML DB on 10g database. So, my question is, can we re-create the webdb reports in html db or can we convert directly into html db. Also, is it easy task or difficult one? also would like to know any better solution for this?
Could you please share your views on this.
thx
Veeresham

Jeff - I don't understand any of that. There is an attribute of the authentication scheme, Invalid Session Page. Set that to the page ID of the desired login page. If that page has a login process (like that on page 101), then it may need to be changed to reference items on the actual login page instead of items on page 101, e.g., P101_USERNAME. And don't put branches on the login page that are intended to fire after the authentication takes place. The login API does a redirect for you based on the after-login page argument in the login process on the page.

am using sql server 2008R2 sql server edition.
pls help me out for this

Hi Ychinnari,
According to your description, you want to perform subscription for one report or two reports into multiple sheets within a Excel file.
In Reporting Services, when we add a page break within the report, those pages will be exported into separated sheets in Excel.
For first requirement, subscribe one report into multiple sheets in one Excel file. We can add a page break within a group, then the report will display on multiple sheets when subscribe into Excel format.
For second requirement, subscribe one report into multiple sheets in one Excel file. You can add one report as a subreport into the main report, then add pagebreak between main report and subreport.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
