Using Report Creator and SQL Server 2000

I am attempting to make some prompts and such using the report designer, and after connecting to my SQL Server 2000 DBMS using the SQL native Client as nothing else works, when i try to make a prompt based of a DB field, it does not populate... also when I verify the database it says that it cannot find the tables, but if I put one of the fields on the report, the data is displayed, I can also browse the data while creating the report as well...
Any ideas how to fix this?

Add the tables and then remove those that are not required. Knowledge of the database is required.

[Forum FAQ] How do I disable all subscriptions without disabling Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent?

Introduction
There is the scenario that users configured hundreds of subscriptions for reports. Now they want to disable all the subscriptions, but Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent service should be enable, so the subscriptions will not delivery reports to users
and users could run the reports and create jobs on the server.
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we need to list all subscriptions and their schedules by running query, then use loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name.
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server instance, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
Type Server name and select Authentication, click Connect.
Click New Query in menu to open a new Query Editor window.
List all subscriptions and their schedules by running the following query:
Use ReportServer
go
SELECT   c.[Name] ReportName,
s.ScheduleID JobName,
ss.[Description] SubscriptionDescription,
ss.DeliveryExtension SubscriptionType,
c.[Path] ReportFolderPath,
row_number() over(order by s.ScheduleID) as rn
into
#Temp
FROM
ReportSchedule rs
INNER JOIN Schedule s ON rs.ScheduleID = s.ScheduleID
INNER JOIN Subscriptions ss ON rs.SubscriptionID = ss.SubscriptionID
INNER JOIN [Catalog] c ON rs.ReportID = c.ItemID AND ss.Report_OID = c.ItemID
select * from #temp
Use the loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name:
DECLARE
@count INT,
@maxCount INT
SET @COUNT=1
SELECT @maxCount=MAX(RN)
FROM
#temp
DECLARE
@job_name VARCHAR(MAX)
WHILE @COUNT <=@maxCount
BEGIN
SELECT @job_name=jobname FROM #temp WHERE RN=@COUNT
exec msdb..sp_update_job @job_name = @job_name,@enabled = 0
SET @COUNT=@COUNT+1   P
RINT @job_name
END
PRINT @COUNT
Reference
SQL Agent – Disable All Jobs
Applies to
Reporting Services 2008
Reporting Services 2008 R2
Reporting Services 2012
Reporting Services 2014

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

If it works from a PC and not from the Unix box then you may have a network issue of some sort, I.E. firewall not letting it through etc.
Try using telnet on the Unix box to see if you can connect to the sql server on the port that the SQL server is listening.
E.G.
telnet server_name 1433
You may need to change the port number to the one that the SQL server is using.

Sap4.7 and sql server 2000 on windows2003:when install di ,error:MDB-05039

sap4.7 and sql server 2000 on windows2003:
when install database instance ,there is a error,at change tempdb
MDB-05039:Unable to stop server dev ,
please help !!!!

Every time you start SQL Server it also creates a new tempdb. When you change the layout (physical structure, size) you have to restart SQL Server in order for these changes to take effect.
It seems that the installation routine has changed the layout (it does that according to your input!) and is now trying to stop and restart SQL Server. When you run into this error, have you tried to stop and restart SQL Server manually? After that choose the Retry option of the installation routine. Just a guess...
Do you have some more log information?

HELP: Reports Builder 9iDS Rel2 and SQL Server 2000

Hi,
I need to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database from within Report Builder (for a proof of concept) and I am getting error 62000-Failed to connect to datasource.
Can you help?
My OS is Windows Prof 2000.
I have Downloaded Oracle 9iDS Rel2 and Oracle 9i AS J2EE and Web Cache. They are installed in the same Oracle Home.
I have modified the REPORTS_CLASSPATH with the datadirect jar files and the j2ee oc4j.jar.
The oc4j.jar is in my system classpath.
I have added the classpath definition with jars to my rwserver.conf.
I start Report Builder select JDBC Query
enter my connect info:
Username: user
Passowrd: pwd
Database: dbname
and select the merant-sqlserver driver from the list.
What am I doing wrong?
I have been at this a week can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi Jeanne
1. When you run the report to paper design from builder, you need to add the necessary jar file of driver to REPORTS_CLASSPATH env variable in registery.
2. To run the report from report server and to generate to file from report builder, you need to add the jar files via classPath attribute of engine element in server/builder conf file. It would be like this
<engine id="rwEng" .....classPath="<yr classpath>" >
3. Have a look at jdbcpds.conf file in OH/reports/conf dir. This file need to have the driver information for the driver you are using. The entry here also specifies the connect sting format which is required by the driver. You need to refer to driver doc for connect string format.
Once you have all this set up ready, run the report. You need to mention the connect string in same format as specified in driver info in jdbcpds.conf file.
Try this.
Thanks

You should ask this on the Reports discussion forum, you'll get a better answer there.

Crystal Reports and SQL Server 2000

Hi all,
I read the document "Troubleshooting Database Connectivity for Crystal Reports" and tried all SQL Server jdbc drivers (1.2, 2.0,2.0.1, 3) and I could not find a working driver with crystal reports at all.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
I'm also not sure if there is a working one?
Are there anybody who suggest me a jdbc driver for SQL server which also supports Crystal Reports?
The connection is ok, but the problem is I don't see tables and other staff under the connection...According to the document above, this means the driver does not support crystal reports...
Product versions which involve this issue as follows:
SQL Server 2000
JRE 5.0
Crystal Reports 11.8 (Comes with IBM RAD 7.5 IDE)
Platform : IBM Portal 6.1.0.2 ( IBM Websphere App. Server 6.1)
Any help would deeply be appreciated.
I'm totaly exhausted. I hope someone help me...
Best regards,
E.

I gave up this issue since I learnt that Crystal Java Reporting Component does not support portlet. I also tried with SQL 2008 and I also updated my IDE for updating Crystal plug-in in it. It was finally working at portal but the pager buttons and other staff in the viewer were not working since it still does not support portlet.
Thanks a lot.

Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
@Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
@Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
AS ...
both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
Thank you.

Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (

Transfering information between Oracle 8 and SQL Server 2000

I want to transfer some of the data stored in 4 different tables in my Oracle database and easy as possible to my SQL Server 2000 database. I found the import option in SQL2k which uses ODBCconnection to the Oracle but it needs the migration suit as far as I know. At the downloadarea there are only plug-ins for SQL Server 7 but not 2000.
Am I even on the right track or is there any other way of accomplishing this?

is there any known problem if I install Oracle 10g EE
on the same machine where Sql Server 2000 EE is
install?It's presently undocumented, but some of the ORACLE.EXE process threads are known to get stuck in an infinite loop whenever a SQL Server database is running on the same box. The infinite loops cause the SQL Server database to eventually shutdown, and then the loops are broken and Oracle returns to normal. Stack traces have revealed something like this, which would suggest that the Oracle process is actually communicating with SQL Server:
Oracle: laughAtGirlieDatabase() /* infinite loop */
SQL: exit();-)

Using Unicode with MS-SQL-Server 2000

Hello,
i want to migrate my coldfusion application to support
unicode. for that i read some articles here in the knowledge bas e
and on the web. So i actually tested with:
* correct use of cfcontent,cfprocessingdirective
* storing source-files with UTF8 (BOM)
* activating Unicode-handling for strings in
datasource-settings of coldfusion admin
* using nvarchar instead of varchar on mssql-server
my firsts test displaying diffrent characters of different
languages (chinese, japanese, arabic) look good. Tests storing and
selecting example strings in that languages also look good.
but now i read, that mssql stores unicode data with the UCS-2
implementation and cannot handle UTF-8 directly. but my
coldfusion-application will be converted to UTF-8.
now my question: Do i have to do special handling storing and
selecting the application data or does this the mssql jdbc driver
for me. What about characters in some languages which use 3 Bytes
in UTF8. How are they handled when MS-SQL-Server 2000 uses UCS-2
(max 2 Bytes) instead?
Many regards for your answers

no need to worry, the db driver will handle that for you.
just make sure your
encoding is the same end-to-end.
also a potential gotcha has just been exposed in unicode
handling for sql server
related to cfqueryparam under loads, you need to convert
everything to "N"
datatypes to avoid this. see jochem's blog:

Jtds and SQL server 2000(Personal Edition) problem

My application need to work in standalone mode without being connected to the network.
I've installed SQL Server 2000(Personal Edition) on Windows XP platform. I've Tomat 4.1 installed on the same machine. My applciation based on jsps and servlets runs on the same machine.
I'm using the jtds driver and I use the following code to connect to SQL Server.
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
String str="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1/GH;tds=8.0;namedpipe=true;lastupdatecount=true";
It works fine as long as the machine is connected to the network. Once it is unplugged, it gives me the error "ArrayIndexOutofBounds Exception-1".
But my application needs to be run on a machine where there is no network at all. In the above string I tried to change 127.0.0.1 by computer name and removed namedpipe parameter.
str="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://mypctds=8.0;lastupdatecount=true";
But it gives the same error. Any idea on this?

Infact SQl server is not listening to 1433 port. When I telnet localhost 1433, it is not connecting. I checked up Server N/w utility and Client N/w utility, both TCP and Named Pipe are enabled. Only if I include namedPipe=true, it works and it requires network connection to be present.
Under Server network utility, if I choose named pipe, the default value shows \\.\pipe\sql\query. I tried to remove \\ so that it doesn't take the network path. But it doesnot work. ANy help?

you want the slide 'data access' , then click on the button 'Semantic Layer Datasources' to view the lookup matrix

ODBC errors for Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL Server 2000 on Windows

Hi all-
I setup a new ODBC connection for the Oracle 10g Migration Workbench to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and keep getting the following errors when I try to
either test the new ODBC connection to MS SQL Server 2000 for use with the Oracle Migration Workbench tool. Goal is to fix these errors so that I can migrate our test SQL Server 2000 databases to Oracle 10g.
Current configuration
- Oracle 10.1 Migration Workbench
- Oracle 10g Database (target)
- MS SQL Server 2000 (source database)
-Windows XP
-ODBC 3.85.1117 driver for Windows XP with SQL Server and Oracle
Errors:
I. When I test the ODBC connection:
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1117
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.
TESTS FAILED!
Now here is what has me totally confused:
I can use the command line ISQL to access the database on the server and IP is all correct and port is available. So I can access the SQL Server database fine it is when I try to setup ODBC that it gives me problems.
Any tips how to get this ODBC working?
Thanks

1. Jing Jin. If you had READ the post you would have seen that installing later versions is NOT an option.
2. Not supported does NOT mean does NOT work, as Balmukund pointed out in the referenced thread. The site that this databases supports is using ASP which is also NOT supported by Microsoft. As it turns out Balmukund's solution actually turns
out to be the correct solution. I installed SS2K and its Service pack 4 on the machine last night. Good answer Balmukund. as we say in the Navy, "BRAVO ZULU!!" which means "WELL DONE!!
3. Tom Li I just posted the question less than 48 hours ago. My last post was less than 24 hours ago. I think I have the right to be given the opportunity to determine whether a reply is the answer or not. I understand you don't like unanswered
posts sitting around for weeks, months or years. (I don't like it either as I have a few that are still unanswered after several years.) But you should not be showing replies as answers before I even get a chance to see them, much less try them out.
You should also not be showing replies as answers which don't address the criteria of the question. I specifically stated that I had to install SS2K. I went on to state, "And before anyone asks I need to install this version because that is what
the customer is using and I need to duplicate their databases." So the correct answer, if in fact SS2K did not work on Windows 7, would have been a virtual machine answer, as suggested on the thread Balmukund referenced. So before you mark a reply
as an answer read the question.
