Part I: SQL Server Reporting Services General TopicsQuestion 1: How to migrate SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services to another computer?Answer: The migration process for Reporting Services includes manual and automated steps. The following tasks are part of a report server migration: 1. Back up database, application, and configuration files. 2. Back up the encryption key. 3. Install a new instance of SQL Server 2008. If you are using the same hardware, you can install SQL Server 2008 side-by-side your existing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 installation. Be aware that if you do this, you might need to install SQL Server 2008 as a named instance. 4. Move the report server database and other application files from your SQL Server 2000 or 2005 installation to your new SQL Server 2008 installation. 5. Move any custom application files to the new installation. 6. Configure the report server. 7. Edit RSReportServer.config to include any custom settings from your previous installation. 8. Optionally, configure custom Access Control Lists (ACLs) for the new Reporting Services Windows service group. 9. Test your installation. 10. Remove unused applications and tools after you have confirmed that the new instance is fully operational. If you are reusing an existing report server database that you created in a previous installation, be aware that there are restrictions on the editions of SQL Server you use to host the report server database.

1. Question 2: How to combine connecting string via parameter? Answer:You can include parameter reference in the data source connection string and allow the user to choose a data source for the report. For example, with an expression-based connection string, a user who is running a sales report can select a data source for a particular county before running the report. The following example illustrates the use of a data source expression in a SQL Server connection string. The example assumes you have created a report parameter named ServerName: ="Data Source=" & Parameters! ServerName.Value & "; initial catalog=AdventureWorks" Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 4: Error of EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_sqlagent_notify'. Problem: In some special cases, you may receive the following error when trying to select the option execution from a report: EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_sqlagent_notify', database '######', schema '###'. Cause: Usually, this error is caused by the user missing the "RSExecRole" role in the Master and MSDB system databases. Solution: Reporting Services uses a predefined database role called "RSExecRole" to grant report server permissions to the report server database. If you get the error mentioned above, try to create and provision the "RSExecRole" role in Master and MSDB system database. For more information, see: How to: Create the RSExecRolehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281308.aspx Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 5: How to enable anonymous access to Report Server, and is there any security consideration? Answer: Please note that when using anonymous access, every person accesses the reports under the anonymous user context, and no one will have rights to administer Reporting Services through Report Manager.This is the reason why it is not recommended to use anonymous access in Reporting Services. In order to differentiate between users, we need to either disable anonymous access or use a custom security extension. We have a sample using Forms Authentication: Using Forms Authentication in Reporting Services In some special situations, it may be necessary to use anonymous access. For security considerations, we can use the steps as below: 1. Add the anonymous user to the System User role 2. Create an Item-level role with all of the tasks you want this user to be able to use, and then assign the anonymous user to that role at the root level. 3. Check permissions for the anonymous user on folders that SRS uses: For example: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services (and subfolders) C:\<windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files The temp folder for the anonymous user Note: Step1 & Step2 can be accomplished through Report Manager only if anonymous access is disabled and the logged-on user is a member of the System Administrator role.Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 6: How to create a custom report template in Reporting Services? Answer: A report template also exists as a normal report (RDL file). If you want to customize your own report templates, you can put the previously prepared reports (which will be used as new templates) in a specific folder. By default, the path is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject Then, to use these templates, you can right click on the Reports folder in your project and select New Item. You will then see the name of the report templates you added in the above folder.Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 7: Does SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services support horizontal tables which have fixed rows and dynamic columns? Answer: Note: This Q&A is only for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. By default, there is no native "horizontal table" report item. We can use Matrix to simulate simple horizontal tables: 1. Add a matrix to your report. 2. Add static rows to the matrix: Right-click in the Data cell and select "Add Row". Repeat for the number of fixed rows you want. 3. Drag fields into the Data cells:You'll notice that the design tool automatically wraps your field reference in the "First" aggregate (e.g. =First(Fields!City.Value)). Since you're doing this in the context of a matrix, the design tool is ensuring that the expression is meaningful even in the context of a subtotal or if the matrix is showing aggregated data rather than detail data. Note: Please do NOT remove the aggregate expression. 4. Add a column grouping: 1) Right-click on the column header and select "Edit Group". 2) Enter this for the group expression: =RowNumber(Nothing). This will cause the matrix to give you one column per row of data. Since horizontal tables can end up rather wide, you may want your table wrap around to the next "line" after a specific number of columns. 5. Add a list to your report and drag the table into it. 6. Group by a number of rows: 1) Right-click on the list and select Properties. Then click on Edit Details Group.2) Enter this for the group expression: =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/3) This will cause the list to group on every three rows. So you'll get a separate table for every three rows. 7. Adjust the group expression in the matrix: Edit the column group expression in your matrix and change the RowNumber argument to be the list group name. For example: =RowNumber("list1_Details_Group") More Information: SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services has a new Date Region control named Tablix, which can be used for the same requirement easily.

Question 8: How to reset the page number back to 1 every time the report gets a group break? Answer: Resetting the page number on group breaks is not natively supported. There is a workaround: you can track group breaks in a shared variable, and reset this variable to 1 when reaches a new group break. Here are the steps: 1. Make sure there's a textbox in the report which contains the group expression. 2. Add shared variables to track the current group and page offset: Shared offset as Integer Shared currentgroup as Object 3. Add a custom function to set the shared variables and retrieve the group page number: Public Function GetGroupPageNumber(group as Object, pagenumber as Integer) as Object If Not (group = currentgroup) offset = pagenumber - 1 currentgroup = group End If Return pagenumber - offset End Function 4. Use the function in the page header or footer: =Code.GetGroupPageNumber(ReportItems!Category.Value,Globals!PageNumber)Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 9: How to open the drill- through report in a new browser window? Answer: Generally, if you use the "Jump to URL" option for a textbox, it will redirect to the specific URL in the same browser when the user clicks on the textbox. To open the link in a new window, you can use syntax similar to this: ="javascript:void window.open ('http://servername/reportserver?/freportfolder/ReportName&Parameter1=" & Fields!Field1.Value & "&Field2=" & Fields!Field2.Value & "&rs:Command=Render','_blank','resizeable=1,toolbar=0,status=0,menu=0,top=20,left=20,width=740,height=730')" Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 10: How to verify the version of SQL Server? Answer: There are a few ways to verify the version of SQL Server. Method 1. You can run a query "SELECT @@VERSION" and note the version number returned in the string. SQL Server 2005 SP1 would return something like the following: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2047.00 (Intel X86) Sep 22 2006 23:44:32 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1) Method 2. you can also look at the file version for sqlservr.exe. Method 3. If you look in Add\Remove Programs, you would also see an entry for Service Pack 1 for SQL Server <component name>. Each patched component would have its own entry. Please note that you will need to select the "Show Updates" check box in the Add\Remove Programs dialog. Method 4. You can check the registry keys and values under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server There are several other areas that contain version information. Shared components generally have a Setup sub-key under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server \90\<Component>". For example: ...\90\DTS\Setup ...\90\Tools\Setup ...\90\NS\Setup Then for each instance of SQL\Analysis Services\Reporting Services, you can look under the instance specific key. These keys are numbered as MSSQL.x (where x is the instance number). These are created in the order of installation. So if you have only a single instance of SQL Server, the instance key would be MSSQL.1. Under each instance key you'll find a Setup key as well. In all cases, the Setup sub-key contains a value of PatchLevel, which equals the version of the instance. For example, for SQL Server 2005 RTM, the value should be 9.0.1399, and SP1 would be 9.0.2047. Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 13: Out of memory error when exporting reports to Excel. Problem: We may encounter Out of memory error when exporting reports to Excel. Cause: Generally, this kind problem is complicated. There are some possible factors that may cause this issue: 1. On the x86 platform using the /3GB switch, the OS makes about 1.8 GB (maximum) available to be shared by all applications. 2. The .NET Framework 1.1/2.0 supports the use of the /3GB switch. However, it must share the OS-imposed limit of approximately 1.8 GB memory. 3. Using the /3GB switch cuts down the amount non-paged pool (NPP) memory HTTP.SYS (a kernel-mode driver IIS 6.0) uses to manage its connections, to 128 MB from 250 MB. This could negatively impact performance of IIS, should other sites be hosted on the server. 4. NET applications (of which SSRS is one) typically encounter out-of-memory issues at approximately 1.1 GB (+/- a wide margin, depending on many factors). 5. SSRS currently uses in-memory data caching and rendering; a streaming design needed to process extremely large reports simply does not exist at this time. Solution: You may try the following suggestions first: 1. Please refer to this KB: You may receive the "System.OutOfMemoryException" error message when you use SQL Server Reporting Services 2. Break the report to get smaller amount of data. 3. You can try using a 64-bit machine which doesn't have limitation of 2GB of usermode space. 4. You can test /3GB switch (of course not recommended on a production server) which allows to allocate 1GB to Kernel mode and 3GB to user mode.http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/927bfe25-1705-4b60-91d4-2ed64d6aa85f.mspx 5. In general the 3GB switch should be used only for testing purposes since this setting shrinks the available address space for the Kernel mode. Below is a KB article that briefly talks about this:A description of the 4 GB RAM Tuning feature and the Physical Address Extension switch 6. Ensure that the Memory recycling checkboxes are unchecked for the SSRS app pool in IIS. Note: Excel rendering is improved in the Reporting Services 2008 and this issue may not occur in Reporting Services 2008.Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 14: How to improve PDF quality of the report exported in Reporting Services 2005? Answer: The PDF renderer in Reporting Services 2005 resizes all images that it is given at 96 DPI no matter what DPI the image is when you pass it to the renderer. That means that a 300 DPI image or even a 600 DPI image will be sized in the PDF as if it is only 96 DPI. In other words, your high DPI image may render larger than expected. Despite sizing the images as if they were 96 DPI, the PDF renderer appears to render higher DPI images at a higher quality than 96 DPI. Even if the sizing being wrong, the image actually is rendering at a higher quality. A necessary workaround is to size the image to the proper number of inches based on 96 DPI calculations. Then use Bitmap.SetResolution to set the images to at least 300 DPI. That may provide a higher quality image that is the proper number of pixels to fit properly in the report.Microsoft Online Community Support

Question 15: How to enable the Select All option for a multi-value parameter? Problem: When a user defines an available values list for a multi-value parameter, a Select ALL option on the report parameter drop-down list automatically appears. However, if you dont want to make the parameter multi-value, how to enable the Select All option for the query parameter? Solution: Since the single-value query parameter does not provide the Select All option, you cannot query the data without any limitations. Sometimes, the end user may want to ignore the condition for the parameterized query. In this case, you can add the "Select All" option to the parameter dataset by using SQL statement. Here are the detailed steps: Create a dataset for the parameter using the following query string: SELECT ALL UNION ALL SELECT Field from table Edit your base dataset query: The original query: AND Field=@Parameter Change it to this: AND (( Field=@Parameter ))OR(@Parameter=ALL)) Set the report parameter. 1) Set the available values as the field created in Step 1. 2) Set the default value of parameter to All.Microsoft Online Community Support

@Joe - Wu For Question 10 :- I think we can use this query :- SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion')as ProductVersion, SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel')as ProductLevel, SERVERPROPERTY ('edition') as ServerEdition above query will give more meaningful result. For question 2:- This dynamic query thing does not work in case of Shared Connection . It work perfectly in case of Inbuilt report connection. ~~ Mark it as Answer if you find it correct~~

Thanks Joe! A concrete example would help here. If we start with an image that is intended to cover an area of 8.0 inches by 10.5 inches at a resolution of 300 dpi, how should the file be configured? I'm confused by the directive "size the image to the proper number of inches based on 96 DPI calculations". Does this mean that we're actually adding pixels to the file or maybe that we're adding bogus attributes? Does this apply only to the PDF renderer and not to printing from the viewers? Does this not apply to Reporting Services 2008 or 2010? BillVo
