Report doesn't work when deployed

I have a report that works perfectly in the development enviroment but when I
deploy it and run it in the report server I get this message:
"An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Obtener ayuda en línea
Query execution failed for data set 'All_TTs'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
Obtener ayuda en línea
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. "
I tried recreating the data set bu it was worthless.

Pato Connonensure your datasource is pointing to the correct location, and that the
report uses the correct datasource. also ensure your datasource has the
correct connection information

datasource on the SSRS server as well. When you run the report in the
designer, it is looking for the ODBC connection on your computer, but
when it runs on the server, it is looking on the server.

Report does not display the same as in the Preview window in Visual Studio

After formatting the report and making it look like I want too in the
Preview window of Visual Studio. I deploy the report to the web server
and when I open it - the web rendering (formatting) does not duplicate
what I see in the Preview window. It looks like it's adding extra rows
between the objects and is not following the vertical alignment that
was used in Visual Studio.
Does anyone have ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks..I do. Verify if there are textboxes overlaping each other. In preview
windows this issue do not cause problem, but at render time, it does.

Report Description Overwrite Issue

When I deploy a report from MSDE, the description from within the report
properties is displayed under the report name/link within the Report Manager.
When I modify the report description in MSDE and then re-deploy the report
it doesn't update the one I see in Report Manager? I can delete the report
in Report Manager and then redeploying creates the modified description; but
I don't really want to have to delete reports everytime I modify the
description.
Is this is a bug?MSDE is not a supported platform for Report Server. You must use either the
Standard edition or the Enterprise edition. You can also use the Developer
edition, but it is licensed for developing or testing only.

Report Description

Can someone please let me know what the use of the Report > Report Properties
> Author & Description Fields are?
When I deploy my reports to the server these values are not visible in the
report properties of the report manager nor are they exposed to be used in a
report. Both of which I want to do.I have just tested what you said below, and I found that although the Author
property I entered was overwritten by my NT login, the description came
through alright on the server after deploying. Go to the Properties tab of
the report in Report Manager and click on the General link; you should see
the description at least.
The description is very useful when searching [there is a Search for text
box at the top right of the screen].

I deployed my rdl using visual studio and the description was not displayed
on the general link of the report properties in the report manager. I also
tried this by uploading the rdl file onto the server...no description either.
Is there a setting that coud be preventing this from occuring?

only goes over it it is the first time you have deployed. Delete the report
on the server and redeploy and the description will come over.

Report Deployment Problem on SQL 2005

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to deploy my Report Project on SQL 2005 on my machine from Visual Studio itself, but I keep getting this error:
"The Report Server Web Service is unable to access secure information in the report server. Please verify that the WebServiceAccount is specified correctly in the report server config file."
Although I specified the WebServiceAccount in the rsreportserver.config file, using an administrative account, but still facing the same problem :s.
Any idea what so ever?
ThanksI was hoping someone would reply to you on this problem. I am having a very similar problem of not being able to deploy reports to the Report Server, using the June SQL Server CTP.

When trying to deploy Company Sales.rdl or any of the other sample reports to the Report Server, from Visual Studio 2005, this error message appears (see below). Where should I start to troubleshoot the problem? Thank you.

A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/reportserver. (Microsoft Report Designer)

For my case, the easiest way was to reinstall SQL 2005 CTP again in one shot, as installing it in multiple phases caused the problem that I faced.
In addition, I had to give write authority to the (Network Services) to the ASP.NET Temporary files directory.

Hope this will be helpfull.|||I also had the same problem and it was resolved by reinstalling all components of SQL 2005 CTP in one go.|||
Solution to this problem is

1) Open Configure Report Server Tool
2) Update 'Web Service Identity' tab to reflect Asp .Net account on the machine.
For Eg. machineName\ASPNET
3) Click Apply Button, This will update WebServiceAccount tag in your report server configuration file 'rsreportserver.config'.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thanks!

Hi it sounds to me the AspNet user or the user used in your dataset don't have access to your SRS database( "ReportServer" DB) . Check the permissions of the SQL Reporting Services database. Also you can't deploy to a server not running the SRS Server, unless you are on a SQL reporting server as localhost . I assume you clicked 'play' in VS.Net ? You need to deploy to a SRS Server.

Report deployment error in SharePoint Integration mode

Hi,

I get the following error when I am trying to deploy Report from Visual Studio Report Designer.

SRSS is configured in SharePoint integration mode. Configuration is mentioned below.

TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer

A connection could not be made to the report server http://rbddspsdev2:44887/.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Server was unable to process request. > The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. (System.Web.Services)

BUTTONS:

OK

Configuration is as follows.

Web front end server.

MOSS 2007 Standard edition 64 bit.

SQL Reporting Service Add in 64 bit.

SQL Server

MS SQL server 2005 32 bit with sp2.

Reporting Services configured.

WSS 3.0 32 bit required for configuration, of SRSS in integrated mode.

Windows service and web service are both running under a domain account. The account is a SharePoint Admininstrator. The account is also in Administrators, Reporting Server user and Web service group and also has a dbo rights on database.

Hi

To publish a report to a SharePoint site configured for SharePoint integration, you must verify that the report project properties in Report Designer point to the SharePoint site. All references to servers, reports, shared data sources, and resources must be fully qualified URLs. The TargetServerURL property must be a URL to a SharePoint site. The TargetDataSourceFolder and TargetReportFolder properties must be URLs to a SharePoint library or library folder. You must have Member or Owner permission on the SharePoint site to set the properties on the project.

To publish a report to a SharePoint site

1. In SQL Server Development Studio, open an existing or new Report Server project.

2. From the Project menu, click Properties. The <project> Property Pages dialog box opens.

3. Choose the Configuration you use to publish to a SharePoint site. For example, Active(Debug) or Production.

4. In the Deployment section, for the optional TargetDataSourceFolder, type a URL to a library or library folder. For example, http://TestServer/TestSite/Documents/DataSources.

5. For TargetReportFolder, type a fully qualified URL to a library or library folder. For example, http://TestServer/TestSite/Documents.

6. For TargetServerURL, type a URL to a SharePoint top-level site or sub-site. If you do not specify a site, the default top-level site is used. For example, http://servername, http://servername/site or http://servername/site/subsite..

7. Click OK.

8. In Solution Explorer, right-click on the report you want to publish, and click Deploy. The report is published to the location specified in TargetReportFolder.

|||

Please post back if you have resolved this issue, as I have the same issue.

I have SQL 2005 sp2 as a seperate server from my sharepoint server. I was running reports in native mode and converted to integrated. I am using domain accounts for windows and web services. I have all green checks in reports configuration. If I browse to http://sqlserver/reportserver/ I get the following error:

The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information. (rsServerConfigurationError) Get Online Help

I don't see anything in the log - but would be happy to post entries if someone can spot my error in them.

From VS 2005 when I attempt to upload a report, I get "a connection could not be made to the report server Get Online Help

I don't see anything in the log - but would be happy to post entries if someone can spot my error in them.

From VS 2005 when I attempt to upload a report, I get "a connection could not be made to the report server https://sharepointserver/

In Sharepoint configuration, when I attempt to set server defaults I get: "

An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> Server was unable to process request. > The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services. "

I would really love to get this working.

|||I get the same error in the same place.

|||

Please check rs_log# file in ...:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Temp

It should contain more details about your problem.

Are you using "Windows Integrated" or "Trusted Accounts" Authentication Mode?

|||

Hi all,

My issue i guess was because of the double hop between my Reporting Server and SharePoint server. Anyways now i have Reporting Server and MOSS both on same machine and the problem seem to go away on its own.

Hope this helps other too.

Thanks,

|||Anyone an answer to this? I've seen many blogs w/ this issue but no answers.

Report Deployment

We have a "Change Management" Dept that MUST deploy all reports into
Production. I have the same ability from my machine and I can deploy the
solution (or each individual project) without problems (but they don't like
it since I am just a developer).
When CM deploys (they take my solution file and hit "Deploy") the
credentials to all of the data sources is removed so that we have to go into
Report Viewer and add back in the credentials.
So basically, why do I NOT have any problems deploying the solution and data
sources (credentials = a service account), yet CM takes a copy of my solution
and they cannot deploy the data sources with credentials?
Any thoughs appreciated.It is how it is configured in VS. They have it to overwrite data sources and
you do not. They should not be configured this way and they can change it.
Right mouse click on each project, properties, set the overwritedatasources
property to false (if you look for yours it is set to false). That is the
default so they must have changed it.

Report deploment to multiple servers SQL Reporting 2005

Hi

Another issue I would like your help:

We are writing reports for different clients. We need to deploy the same reports to different clients (thus also different DataSources). What is the best way to handle this? The folder names would probably be the same.

Andre

Sounds like you need a custom installer that will accept the required input (database name, credentials, folder path) and deploy the reports by calling down to the Report Server APIs. Or, you can script the objects and use the rs.exe utility to deploy. You may also find the RSScripter utility useful.sql

Report definitions - changes not apparent after upload/deploy.

We have SQL 2000 Reporting Services. There are a couple of reports that have been changed several times in the past, with no problems.

Now when we change these same reports, the new report definitions get successfully uploaded (as evidenced by the time stamp), but the old report definitions still show up.

We have tried the following.

1) Deleting the report from Reporting Services.

2) Recreating the report from scratch, then uploading the new report (w/ same name)

3) Uploading the desired report with a different name, then changing it to the desired name. (We have links and legacy applications that point to these reports). When we do this, the old version reappears.

This appears to be a caching problem. I have verified the caching option in the Properties > Data Execution [tab] is not selected. I have tried bouncing the SQL database, IIS services, and Reporting Services (let me know if there is a prescribed order).

Whatever we try, the old definitions remains persistently there.

Help!

Thanks in advance .

Could this be client caching or proxy caching?

Report Builder - Can't Deploy

I am having a problem deploying a report. My target server url is
http://localhost/vbreports. I can get to this site with no problem. When I
deploy my report I get the error "A connection could not be made to the
report server http://localhost/vbreports".
Any help would be appreciated.

That is the url to access report manager application.
Reports are deployed to the reportserver application, typically
http://localhost/reportserver, or in your case, maybe http://localhost/vbreportserver
Rowen McDermott|||Thank you. Now I can deploy but the IE screen for the reportserver shows a
wierd screen. It shows a directory view and when I click on my models and
click on the model that I deployed I see the xml code instead of it running
the report builder. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

It sounds like you are getting confused between the report server
application and the report manager application. Both are installed
with reporting services.
The report server application 'http://localhost/reportserver' is the
primary application and includes a web service interface which can be
used to view reports. Reports are deployed to this application via the
web service.
The Report Manager application 'http://softwareserver/Reports/' is an
interface to the above web service that allows report viewing in a
more friendly manner. It is from here that you run report builder.
Rowen|||Thanks Rowen. I discovered my error last night. I can now deploy my model.
But when I open the report builder and choose my model I get the error: The
selected data source does not have any content available. I have checked the
table in the SQL database and there are records.

Report appearance issues

I have 2 issues wih the appearance of my report both in the preview tab and when I deploy.

1. My report contains a subreport and the subreport appears indented from the left edge of the main report. How can I stop this? I won't the subreport to be aligned with the main report.
2. The last column of my report is stretched to the edge of the page even though I have all my cells set to CanGrow = false. How can I stop this?

Any help is appreciated.
I solved this one myself. The subreport's body was wider than the main report's body and as I have the table centred on both reports the subreport appeared indented. As soon as I made both report's body width the same the subreport aligned with the main report correctly. I also set every cell in the table in both reports to CanGrow = false and that stopped the last column stretching to the edge of the page.

Report and other controls not rendered

After resolving all the installation and configuration related issues, I was able to deploy a couple of projects on my report server. I can see alll folders and reports listed inside the folders from http://<servername>/reports . All works fine except when I run a report, the http://<servername>/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx page does not render report.

This page displays View, Properties, History Subscriptions etc, menu items on the top section of the page. It also displays Home, My Subscriptions, Site Settings, Help etc. links on top right corner of the page. I can also see the bar that has "New subscription" button. But the problem starts from the section below that. It does NOT display the Report navigation bottons (like First page button, Next Page button, previous page button, Last page button, print button etc.) Appears that the icons images for these bottons are missing. And above all, the page does not render report.

IE browser status indicate the following error:

error:'HoevrImagectl161_ctl01_ctl01_ctl06_ctl01' is null or not an object.

The report renders fine via http://<servername>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx

I may not have explained the problem well here however, if you are interested, I can email you the screenshot of Report.aspx to help you understand the problem.

Any help is appreciated!!!

It seems you are using MOSS. Are you you have installed Sharepoint addon for Reporting Services found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1E53F882-0C16-4847-B331-132274AE8C84&displaylang=en

If you have. Have tou configured the reporting services in central admin - Application Settings?

If you have make sure in VS2005 you have deployed to the correct MOSS site collection and correct MOSS library and that is where you view your reports.

In MOSS the reports should render using RSViewerPage.aspx

Thanks

Thanks for reply.

No. I am not running MOSS on this machine. Any other thought?

I just uploaded the screenprint at :

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb8/spnet/ReportSerrverProblem.jpg

P.s. : I have deliberately masked out the server name and parameter value.

|||

Pls help!! Any ideas?

|||

Woohhaaa!!!!!!!!! Figured that out.

It was a javascript error - "RSController.

Make sure your Reports website has the following seeting:

Right click "Reports" website on IIS manager

Go to Properties

Click on Virtual Directory tab

Click on Configuration button

In "wildcard Application Maps.." section, you should have the latest version of aspnet_isapi.dll file listed. If not listed, insert the file. Usually, the file is located at C:\Windows\Microsft.NET\Framework\<your version folder>\aspnet_isapi.dll

Now, click on "Edit" button. Make sure "Verify that File exixts" checkbox is UNCHECKED.

Click "ok" and exit out of Report properties dialogue box. Your reports should work now without IIS throwing any RSController or PramasCtl, imagehower etc. related errors.

Reporing Service and deploy permission

Dear all,

I use Window Vista+ Sql server 2005 with SP 2

When I deploy the report in Report designer, the following error message display

The permissions granted to user 'winVista\admin' are insufficient for performing this operation.

The user "admin" is a admininstor and I assign the following group to it

(1) administors

(2)WINVISTA\SQLServer2005ReportingServicesWebServiceUser$WINVISTA$MSSQLSERVER

(3)WINVISTA\SQLServer2005ReportServerUser$WINVISTA$MSSQLSERVER

Which and Where I must assign the permissions to this account?

thanks you

If you connect to Reporting Services in Sql Server Management Studio, right click on the servername and select the properties of the server. Then select the permissions page. What's in there?
