Report Distribution based on SQL Query in RDL

I need to create multiple reports with each report being sent to the specified user. For example, 3 Managers should each get their own report. A Stored Procedure receives a ManagerID parameter, so I need 3 instances of the report. I also need each report to be sent to its associated Manager:

Mgr ID Manager Name 1 John Q Manager 2 Jane Q Manager 3 Jack O Lantern

I set up a rss file to run the report and can run it multiple times, passing in a different ID value each time, but it will not be data driven because I must hard-code the parameters in the ReportParmaters object of the report for each execution.

Is there a way, either by designing the report in VS2005 or on the Reporting Services server, to accomplish what I'm intending to do?

Did you already have a look on the datadriven subscription option in Reporting Services ? That would exactly fit your needs.

Report Designer data Tables

I have a set of data tables with their own datasets from different database
tables. They go across the report page and all need to be linked together
via an ID number. How can this be achieved or is there a better way of doing
it other than in report tables?
The data tables across the report page are:
Details, Actuals and Budgets ie., ID number in Details need to be linked to
the same ID in Actuals and Budgets so that it appears as a single line of
continuous information across the page.
Thanks
IanStep 1. Create one report for each of the Details, Actuals, Budget data.
Give each report an ID parameter.
Step 2. Create a main report and add a list data region. Make the dataset of
the list be based on a query that returns unique id values. Inside the list
data region add subreport controls and map them each to the reports you
created at Step 1. You will need to map the subreport parameters to the ID
field in the main report.
Done.

row of data for each ID. Is that not the case?

Yes jeff it is a db design problem, I was not involved in its design, and
now it is being revisited and Jeff, your note sounds promising so I will go
back and revisit what I was experimenting with

report creator

Hello everyone,

I have a report viewer on my webpage. but the users would like to be able to create there own reports. at the launch party I saw this was possible with a wizard. But I don't know how to make use of this.

Is this wizard a part of a sql server 2005 client perhaps ?
Or is it possible to use it together with Mysql...

I hope you can help,

thx

Ok... I figured it out and already been testing a bit with reporting services.

It's the report builder I was looking for.

It's a nice feature...

Report builder and custom security

We need to implement SQL Server 2005 Report Builder using our own security
model. We use application level authentication, in which a user ID and
password is verified against a record in the sql server database. So, we
don't use Windows Authentication. The problem is that we need to implement
the reporting builder as our ad-hoc reporting tool, but we need each user to
have his own private folder on the server. I've found only four articles on
http://msdn2.microsoft.com which talks about custom security extension, but
none of those is even close to what I'm looking for. I'm sure that there're
folks out there who've done this before.
Any suggestion or lead will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gilgameshhave you activated the "My Reports" option in reporting services?
this create a /My Reports folder and each user will have a private folder.

ok, i need to do the same thing. But i am having some trouble with
configuring the secruity extension (Forms Authenication). i have an
question on the User Accounts database part.
The instructions say to replace the "LocalMachine" towards the end of
the createuserstore.sql. But i don't see any mention of that in the
script at all. Any ideas?
INSTRUCTIONS:
Locate "LocalMachine" towards the end of the script and replace it
with your own computer name. For Windows 2003 users, replace
LocalMachine\ASPNET with NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE (except when in
IIS 5 compatibility mode).
createuserstore SCRIPT:
exec ('sp_grantlogin [' + @.ASPUserName + ']');
-- Add a database login for the UserAccounts database for the ASPNET
account
exec ('sp_grantdbaccess [' + @.ASPUserName + ']');
-- Grant execute permissions to the LookupUser and RegisterUser stored
procs
exec ('grant execute on LookupUser to [' + @.ASPUserName + ']');
exec ('grant execute on RegisterUser to [' + @.ASPUserName + ']');
------
Have you implemented custom security in Reporting Services? I don't
use
Report Builder but in the end you end up with a RDL just like if it
had been
designed in Report Designer.
So, my question is, do you have your custom security implemented in
any way
with RS? That is the first thing you will need to do.
