When is it appropriate to "report abuse"

Some of the threads I've been reading seem to be way over the top when it comes to civility. Support is here to do just that, support, not trash. Especially when it comes to trash talking to some of the members that can help the most. Believe me, the Support Community would not be the same if the most knowledgable members walked away because of the community atmosphere. If a good definition of abuse can be established in my mind, I'll be using the feature more in the future and I encourage others to do the same when appropriate. Also remember if you have a gripe with Apple, the proper Forum is via Apple Feedback, not here.

Generally, whenever the concept of equality is really meaningful for objects of the class.
But if you do override one, you should definitely do both, and in a consistent way. The requirement is that if equals() returns true for two objects hashCode() must return the same number for both object. hashCode is used in HashMap, HashSets etc. to place entries in "buckets" so that a search can go to the correct bucket immediately, hence a HashMap will not work correctly if the hashCodes do not match.

RsItemNotFound When try to open a report.

We have a bunch of reports deployed on SSRS 2008 r2. These are accessed through a browser normally.
We also have a VB Application - through which some of the above reports are accessed using WebBrowser.Navigate(string)
The report I'm trying to access is a report that contains a whole bunch of sub reports. the main report simply takes and passes the parameters to sub reports.
I have a report I'm accessing currently through this vb application. It's named 1190_Marketing_Detail.rdl
and it takes branch location as parameter.
Below is the string I'm passing and it works. The same string/url I place in the browser address bar, I get the report.
If I remove the parameter LocationID=40 I get an appropriate error message similar to the first bullet point below.
"http://reports.organization.net/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/APA/1190_Marketing_detail&LocationID=40&rs:Command=render&rc:Parameters=false&rc:Toolbar=false"
Now I'm trying to access another report(the one that has sub reports as I mentioned above) It's named simply 1190.rdl
and it takes a bunch of parameters. However, right now I'm not passing any parameters. Below is the string I'm passing
"http://reports.organization.net/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/APA/1190&rs:Command=render&rc:Parameters=false&rc:Toolbar=false"
I'm expecting error message like below
This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'LocationID'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value.
But I get this instead
The item '/APA/1190' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)
1190.rdl is there. I'm not sure why reporting services doesn't see it. Thanks in advance for your help.

When you navigate to the report in the APA folder using report manager, as it's listed there, does it have the ".rdl" extension in the name? If so you'll have to reference it in your URL. Otherwise, you might try renaming the report temporarily to
see if something odd isn't going on in the back end.
You might also verify the permissions on the report and make sure no one broke inheritance or something and removed permissions. It's also possible the account accessing the report doesn't have access to one of the sub reports.

Where do I report abusive comments

Is there a place to report abusive comments made by level 7 and level 8 posters?

Reporting Abuse

Hi Guys!
Sometimes, when you are broswing the boards here you might come across a thread or post that you are not sure of. Sometimes, it could be a post you find offensive, or a post that is directly offensive to you. Sometimes you may come across a post that you feel contains illegal material or links to illegal material. If you do find a post like this you can report it as abuse.
This may be a feature you have seen and used before, on Nokia Discussions UK you can report any post as abuse. By reporting a post as abuse, all of the moderators and administrators get notified at once (there are quite a few of us ).
You can report a post as abuse by clicking on the options button. Here you will see an option called 'Report as abuse to Moderator'. By cliking on this a small window will open that gives you an opportunity to enter a message explaining why you are reporting this as abuse. To send the abuse notification, just click on the 'Notify Moderator' button. Dont worry that it only says Moderator, all the mods and admins will see the message at the same time. Also, reporting abuse is totally anonymous, no one other than the mods and admins will see your abuse report.
Abuse can be many things, it can include:
-Abuse directed at you
-Abusive behaviour/language
-Possible illegal content
-Bullying
Do not feel afraid of reporting abuse to us.
However, on a lighter and more positive note - you can always praise the boards on the Ideas and Feedback board you can also leave any comments you have on abuse reporting there.
Cheers
Karim

as suggested above, you can contact your local police to report such users. Then your local police can contact Skype to request information that may possible help them in their investigation.

Report abuse against a specific user instead of just individual posts

Is it possible to implement a "Report Abuse" link against users instead of just individual postings? It would help in some places to stop people who post vast numbers of interview questions or such like across the forums.

Hi
I have read and browsed through SDN and it is clearly evident that the volume of posts herein are redundant and genuine concerns are left unresolved. Moreover, the time spent in searching is a complete waste.
I have been a member of a few technical forums and would like to contribute my suggesstion:
1. SDN should be largely moderated and instant posting into the forum need not be allowed.
Experts / moderators in respective areas of the forum should actually decide if a post is genuine or it is a point stealer. I am not sure if this is in practice so please disregard if i am iterating.
2. The points system need not be a part of forum questions anymore as it is clearly misused (answers are either links or huge codes with no explanation????? we have google, thank you !!! ), only articles, blogs n wiki writers should actually be credited with points for their contribution.
Perhaps my approach is at a very root level and needs amendments which are not easy but i feel, to get meaningful solutions some changes needs to be made else the very essence of sdn is lost.
well when u gotta kick ***.... its better to JUST DO IT.
Thank you guys

The Report Abuse Function

Has anyone else had trouble with the Report Abuse function?
Recently I attempted to write an abuse report, but received an error message upon submission.
How does one report abuse in this forum?
Roddy

Questions usually remain unanswered if no one knows the answer. It would appear that you are the only person who has felt it necessary to use the Report Abuse button in this forum. If that's the case, no one can verify whether there's a problem.
Thank you for responding, but I disagree with your suggested solution to the problem:
This question can be easily answered by anyone, who might be inclined to seek a moderator's support either now or in the future. They have merely to
1) Click on the appropriate button.
2) Enter a brief test message.
3) Verify whether it is sent.
4) Report their finding to this discussion.
I have now tried to send three messages using the Report Abuse function. Two of them failed outright, and the only test message sent went through unacknowledged.
Before I register a formal complaint with Adobe I would like to gather evidence to support my case.

Loophole:no Report Abuse message in the OP of a thread

Here's a loophole: This original post could contain abuse or spam, yet there is no Report Abuse button to report it.
I noticed it when I was contemplating reporting what looked like self promotion aimed at directing traffic to the poster's YouTube videos in a post in the Photography forum.

And all you do is repeat ad nauseum how bad the forums are.
For the most part yeah, guess so. Which is pretty much 50%+ of the other posts here, your point being?
Since you're bizzarely concerned about how I spend my time here outside of this forum, most of it is now reading. Not that it's any of your business... I've assisted people plenty before but not much since they jived the forums up.
I understood what you were trying to say. My main 'point' was that you hypocritically think you can make personal accusations of someone (in this thread above) being a sociopath without any sort of evidence or backing whatsoever and you see no problem with that, yet if others state a (much less offensive) opinion without full character references and footnotes you flip out on them and call them names. There's a correct way to call a statement someone makes into question when you think it's wrong, without being insulting or condescending, and there's the a-hole way--you prefer the latter.
The other point was that you only seem to attack people on this forum. Since this is not a Social Flaming Network, could you stop that? There's a difference between goofing off like 90% of the other people here and launching personal attacks towards others. Didn't your momma teach you some manners when you were little?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Error when trying to open a report

Hello,
We have installed Oracle Discoverer Desktop on a Windows Vista 32bit following the documents from the oracle support page.
We are able to connect to the database and see all available report but we get a "Program has stopped responding" message when trying to open certain reports.
For other reports it works great.
Do we need to check something in our windows ? Change something in the Discoverer install or in Windows ?
Please advice.
Thank you and regards,
Sorin Miroiu

The discoverer version is 10g.
There is nothing special to those reports we can't open. We aren't able to open them just on Windows Vista. They open just fine on a Windows XP.
Also Discoverer Administrator is working OK on the Windows Vista machine.
Is there an Oracle bug listed for this issue ?

[Forum FAQ] How do I send an email to users when the data in the report have been changed in Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that the data in the report changes infrequently, so the users want to be informed and get the most updated data once the data changes. By default, report server always run the report with the most recent data. Is there a way that we
can subscribe the report, so that we can send an email to users when the data in the report has been changed?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can create a subscription for the report, then create a trigger in the table which including the report data. When this table has data insert, update or delete, it will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email
to users.
In the Report Manager, create a subscription for the report and make it only execute one time.
When we create a subscription, a corresponding SQL Agent job will be created. Then we can use the query below to find out the job based on ScheduleId:
-- List all SSRS subscriptions
USE [ReportServer]; -- You may change the database name.
GO
SELECT USR.UserName AS SubscriptionOwner
      ,SUB.ModifiedDate
      ,SUB.[Description]
      ,SUB.EventType
      ,SUB.DeliveryExtension
      ,SUB.LastStatus
      ,SUB.LastRunTime
      ,SCH.NextRunTime
      ,SCH.Name AS ScheduleName
          ,RS.ScheduleId
      ,CAT.[Path] AS ReportPath
      ,CAT.[Description] AS ReportDescription
FROM dbo.Subscriptions AS SUB
     INNER JOIN dbo.Users AS USR
         ON SUB.OwnerID = USR.UserID
     INNER JOIN dbo.[Catalog] AS CAT
         ON SUB.Report_OID = CAT.ItemID
     INNER JOIN dbo.ReportSchedule AS RS
         ON SUB.Report_OID = RS.ReportID
            AND SUB.SubscriptionID = RS.SubscriptionID
     INNER JOIN dbo.Schedule AS SCH
         ON RS.ScheduleID = SCH.ScheduleID
ORDER BY USR.UserName
       ,SUB.ModifiedDate ;
Create a trigger in the table which including the report data.
CREATE TRIGGER reminder
ON test.dbo.users
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
AS
exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
Please note that the command ‘exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'’ is coming from the job properties. We can go to SQL Server Agent Jobs, right-click the corresponding job to open
the Steps, copy the step command, and then paste it to the query.
Then when the user table has data insert, update or delete, the trigger will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email to users.

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?

This is not really the correct forum to be posting Reports issues. However, if I were to guess, your issue is likely related to the known issues related to installing FMw11R1 on machines which had IPv6 enabled. In most cases, disabling IPv6 would correct the problem, however some issues were not resolved even after disabling IPv6 post-install. I would recommend patching to WLS 10.3.6 and FMw 11.1.1.6 as these versions include fixes for all of those issues as far as I recall.
Consider referring to this MyOracleSupport document if you have access:

Password is lost when I save the Crystal Report

We use Crystal Reports v. 11.5.3.417, and our users access the crystal Reports using InfoView (Web Portal)
We store the username and password inside the different Repor so the end-users of these reports don't have to know our database passwords in order to run the reports. (Oracle DB)
We have 2 problems with our Crystal Reports
1) Every time I change and the Save a report, the Password is lost, and I have to remember to go into the "Manage Object" and Process->Database and enter it again. It's really annoying to have to remember this every time we change a report.. Is there an option somewhere to avoid this?
2) The password and username are occationly failing. When the users (accessing Crystal Reports through the Web Portal / Infoview) get an error message "Incorrect logon parameters..." The funny thing (actually not that funny) is that if I try to open the report like 10-15 times, just by clicking on the Crystal Report in the Infoview, it usually starts to work again. Some times after 5 clickes, and other times after 10-15 clicks. Its just not logical. Also when it starts working in my web-browser, it also start to work on our users browser as well.
Every week I have to tell a couple of users to try like 10-15 times, but its not that funny to say this to a user.

Hi Roy Ingar Hansen,
If you think not to provide the password for your End user then we can do that go into the "Manage Object" and Process->Database enter the password and Enable the option in :
When viewing report:
Use same database logon as when report is run.
For the first time you need to enter the logon credentials and enable the option and click on update.
It wont prompt for the password and it will not show password to your user's.
If you have problems with Original database logon , then try with Custom database logon and update the option.
Try with this...

Naveen.
